You don’t have to be a qualified/student massage therapist, reflexologist, or make-up artist to have your own garden treatment room. No, you can just be someone who enjoys pampering themselves – and likes to do so away from prying eyes, sticky little fingers, and constant demands for your attention. And this is exactly where your own personal Garden Spa Room comes into play.
One way in which you can achieve this little relaxation den is to create your own personalised version from a customised Garden Room. You could always push the boat out and have it converted into a steam room or even a home sauna (why should those Scandinavians have all the fun?!). But if it’s solely a garden treatment room that you’re looking to create then that’s easier still and perfectly do-able for most average-sized gardens.
As well as a shelf full of luxury face masks, scented bath oils, massage gels, and general toning oils, you could have a store of fluffy white towels (you wouldn’t need the white towelling slippers to match because cold tootsies would be taken care of by under-floor heating or warm carpeting) and a bubbling hot tub outside on the decking area.
Indoors there could be a dinky little fridge to hold bottles of ice-cold flavoured water together with some herbal teas and a kettle for when you feel you need warming up rather than cooling down. Last, but not least, a good selection of magazines to browse through while you’re waiting for that face mask to solidify would round the afternoon or evening off nicely.
Candles are the best type of lighting for a relaxing environment but they’re not always the safest. There are lots of new LED candle bulbs available these days which actually flicker like the real thing. The difference is they are completely safe, allowing you to switch off completely. Of course, you could always get wall lights with dimmer switches installed (if you can be bothered to get out of the hot tub or off the massage table to dim them, that is).
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to think that the next time you felt in need of some urgent pampering, all you had to do was walk down to the bottom of your garden and simply indulge? That means no 10-minute hunt for the car keys and suffering through a traffic jam en-route to the Spa – and which, anyway, just makes your stress levels soar even higher. Instead, you can just pour yourself a glass of bubbly from the mini-fridge and slip into the hot tub with a magazine for a chilling hour or two. Now that’s what we call bliss...
