Bathrooms are no longer purely functional spaces. For many homeowners, they have become personal retreats where the day begins and ends. A spa-like bathroom is not defined by excess or trends, but by how thoughtfully it supports relaxation, comfort, and daily rituals.

At Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, we design bathrooms that feel calm, intentional, and refined. Through our design-build process, we help homeowners create spa-like showers and tubs that elevate everyday life while remaining practical and timeless. We proudly serve homeowners throughout Summit County, including Hudson, Bath, Akron, Fairlawn, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Richfield, and surrounding areas.

What Defines a Spa-Like Bathroom

A spa-like bathroom is built around experience rather than features alone. Every element should contribute to a sense of ease and calm.

This includes generous space, uncluttered layouts, thoughtful lighting, and materials that feel comfortable and enduring. The goal is not to impress, but to restore.

Walk-In Showers Designed for Comfort and Ease

Walk-in showers are a central element of many refined bathroom designs. Their open layouts improve circulation and create a sense of visual calm.



Design considerations include shower size, entry placement, and how water is managed within the space. When planned correctly, walk-in showers feel expansive while remaining easy to use and maintain.

Shower Design That Feels Intentional

Spa-like showers benefit from clean lines and minimal visual interruption. Thoughtful tile layouts, balanced proportions, and well-planned niches help the space feel ordered and relaxing.

The focus is on comfort and simplicity rather than excessive features. A well-designed shower should feel effortless to step into and use every day.

Freestanding Tubs as a Design Anchor

For homeowners who enjoy soaking, a tub can become the focal point of the bathroom. Freestanding tubs add visual balance and reinforce the idea of the bathroom as a retreat.



Placement matters. Tubs should be positioned to feel connected to the space without interrupting flow or crowding other elements.

Combining Showers and Tubs Thoughtfully

In many spa-like bathrooms, showers and tubs work together rather than competing for attention. The layout should allow each element to feel purposeful and accessible.



Careful planning ensures the space remains open and comfortable rather than overly complex.

Materials That Enhance the Experience

Material selection plays a major role in how a bathroom feels. Surfaces should be pleasant to the touch, easy to maintain, and visually cohesive.

Natural tones, subtle textures, and durable finishes help create a calming environment that holds up over time.

Lighting That Supports Relaxation

Lighting has a powerful effect on mood. In spa-like bathrooms, lighting is layered to support different moments throughout the day.

Soft ambient lighting promotes relaxation, while task lighting ensures usability when needed. Coordinated lighting helps the space feel adaptable and inviting.

Storage That Preserves a Sense of Calm

Clutter can quickly disrupt the spa experience. Thoughtful storage allows everyday items to be accessible without being visually dominant.

Vanity design, recessed storage, and integrated cabinetry help maintain a clean and organized appearance.

Planning Spa-Like Bathrooms Through Design-Build

Creating a refined bathroom requires coordination between layout, materials, and construction details. Decisions made early influence how the space feels once completed.

At Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, our design-build process allows these elements to be planned together. This ensures spa-like bathrooms are not just visually appealing, but functional and enduring.
