 By the Light of a Candle

To start creating the relaxing ambiance look of a spa, it’s all about the candles. They simply change the mood no matter where you are, a feeling of calm sets in by the glowing light of a candle. Place candle tins around the base of the bathtub and then set a little jar of candles along the counter. Next use some tea lights and then a mix of small and large pillars with votives. Always make sure that you choose a solitary scent to keep from creating an either abrasive smelling odor. Soft smelling candles that incorporate Vanilla, Lavender and even a light citrus would be ideal for the occasion.

Maybe even place antique style bottles throughout the bathroom and also try adding some lovely soaps, creating the look of divine calm.
