Travel inspiration: spa-style bathrooms

Ugh, I am feeling pretty distracted this morning…  I’m sat at our desk/dining table/one and only general work space in our eeny-weeny-but-lovely apartment in Hong Kong gazing out at the sea of skyscrapers around us.  Am finding it difficult to concentrate with this view!  Pics to follow soon I promise.

But ahem, anyway, as promised here are a few of my fave spa-style bathrooms.  They’re always a bit of a splurge budget-wise, but if I had to pick one space to go all out on it would most definitely have to include a blingy gold tub, à la Fired Earth:

- woah, sorry, Tangent-Alert - and there are also lots of options for keeping the costs from skyrocketing.

So here are a few clean and crisp ideas.  I’m normally more of a colours girl, but it’s pretty much impossible to go wrong with a neutral palette in bathrooms in my opinion – calming and serene are the orders of the day:

Incorporate woods and stone for a gorgeous au natural vibe (that teak bathtub in pic #3 is making my eyes goggle…):

Ok ok, I know these next two are kinda more like regular bathrooms but please indulge me – hello glamourama:

Thoughts…?

And here’s my shopping guide for a little bathroom luxe – I am in loooove with everything by Plum Pretty Sugar.

{ robe, bath salts, bottles + soap dish, bath towels, candle, natural sponges, bath brush, laundry hamper }

    Wow! These are beautiful. I really love browsing magazines about home interior designs and architecture and these post of yours definitely got my eyes on it. Very beautiful bathrooms, if I had to pick one for a design for my own, I would choose pic #3. A combination of wood and stone, I so love. And I’d say that pic #7 is like a palace bathroom, you are really like a princess when taking a bath there, lovely.

    Love wooden bath! Think Zoe Ball has that? Not that I’ve been round her house or anything. Kinda love/hate the princess bathroom. Surely for someone very spoilt? Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter perhaps?

I'd love to hear from you!
