5 Quick and Easy Changes To Bring Fall Into Your Bathroom

by Randi Destefano

   Vacation travel is so relaxing, and we spend our time doing things we might not make the time for at home.  One of those indulgences is having a spa day filled with a massage, a facial, and a soak in the hot tub.  Another might be as simple as luxuriating in a nice warm bath in your hotel room complete with candles, wine, and a good book.

• Towels – Lucious, thick towels in colors of fall.  (think pumpkins, bayberry, leaves)
• Candles – Make sure that you add lots of candles in varying shapes and sizes for the best impact.  And don’t forget unusual candle holders and plates.  Search your cabinets.  You propably have just the right thing.
• Accessorize – Try a large basket on the floor to fill with rolled towels in your new fall colors.  Use clear or colorful containers to store cotton balls, soaps, etc.  Maybe these could be hand made pottery pieces.
• Paint – Freshen the room with a new paint color or two.  Selecting colors from the warm end of the color wheel will add to the cozy atmosphere.  Think about painting the ceiling to add to the effect.  I often have the paint store take a color that I like and cut it in half for the ceiling to add some contrast.
• Rugs – Freshen up your floor by exchanging those solid, colorful rugs of summer with something darker.  Maybe an oriental style rug or one with a tribal style.
