Create a spa bathroom at home
With clever use of lighting in your bathroom, Eurotech Lighting shows how you can create the luxury feel of an at-home spa.

With the last few years that we’ve all had, it’s no wonder that more and more of us are wanting to take time out to de-stress and relax. And bathrooms are getting a well-deserved revival of late, so that you can bring the luxury spa experience to your own home.
When creating your own bathroom sanctuary, the lighting and visual appeal are all important factors to consider. Ceiling lights are not always your friend when you’re wanting to create that Zen-like ambience. Don’t be afraid to incorporate fixtures that may seem more suited to other areas of the home.
“We’re seeing more and more interior designers moving to incorporate wall lights in bathroom designs,” says Justine Hickie, managing director of Eurotech Lighting. “This way, it creates much more of a feeling of calm and keeps the ambience relaxing, especially paired with a dimmer switch.”
The trick to creating this spa look is to consider everyone’s bathroom needs and find lighting to suit those needs. For example, include task lighting for make-up and then mood lighting to create that sensual, serene oasis.
“We are also noticing a lot of circles and arches coming through in the interior design of homes at the moment,” says Justine. “We offer a beautiful arched surfaced mounted wall light in natural stone tones, black sandstone and white sandstone. It’s a new addition to our popular Chameleon range.”
Choosing the right colour for your walls will also significantly impact how ‘Zen’ you will feel in your bathroom. Eurotech Lighting provides paintable plaster wall lights, which you can paint whatever colour you wish. The Chameleon – Paintable Plaster, Surface Mounted Wall Light is a great way to complement your lighting to the colour or cabinetry of the room.
“Some people might want to paint the light the same colour as the wall to give that blended look, while others might want to use the light as a way of adding a pop of colour to a more traditional black and white bathroom,” says Justine.
Justine and her husband Chris live and breathe the Eurotech value of making beautiful lighting easy.
“We believe that all New Zealanders should have access to great lighting products without breaking the bank. We listen and watch closely to what New Zealanders want so that we can deliver the latest design and technology advancements, while remaining affordable,” says Justine.
Even though your home might not be a five-star spa resort, you can still create a bathroom at home which brings peace and harmony to your life, especially if the lights are calming, soft and warm.
