Wall Fountain
A spa is the term used for a peaceful get away where people are pampered and made to feel good. The rooms in a spa are open and airy. The color scheme is usually a neutral cream or tan. These cools tend to sooth the spa visitor. Spas are also closely connected to water, so blue colors are evident in the accents. These blues are usually the natural colors of tropical water or pale skies. The feeling of a spa can be brought into the bedroom. Keep the walls of the bedroom a light cream color. Does this Spark an idea?
Fountains
Water is a main component of a spa. The noise soothes and brings peace to the hearer. A bedroom wall could be a perfect place for a faux-stone fountain. Look for one in a natural stone color that can be hung on the wall. Once the fountain is mounted and running, consider floating water lilies or roses in the water. Fresh herbs can be add as well. Mint or lemon balm gives off a clean, refreshing scent. If cleaning out the plant remains later is deemed too much work, then use silk flowers. Scented oils can also be added to the water to create a room full of soothing scents.
Wood Treatment
The shutters on the windows at spas are usually made from dark wood. Purchase one large wooden blind or two smaller ones in the curtain section of the home improvement store. If you prefer, bamboo shades can be used. Hang these on a blank wall. Mount a curtain rod at the top and hang shear light colored curtains around them. This creates an illusion of having more windows and open space in the bedroom.
Stone Art Treatment
Create a large piece of stone art to hang on the wall. Take a thin piece of plywood. Paint the wood in a cream or light tan color. Spread thinset adhesive on the board and start placing small polished river stones on the board. Keep them close together. Place the larger stones first then fill in the gaps with the smaller stones. Let dry overnight. Mount the artwork on the wall using metal brackets. On either side of the artwork, mount wall plant pots in neutral colors. Plant tropical plants in the pots that drape over the sides and hang down the walls. Below the artwork, mount two square lights on the wall. Use low-wattage light bulbs so you get a soft under-lighting effect for the artwork.
