Your bathroom design has to walk a fine line: it needs to be functional enough to see you through your daily routine, but relaxing enough for you to wind down in when evening comes around. Lean too far towards the former, though, and your space can end up feeling uncomfortable, sterile, and even stressful to use.
Luckily, though, even if you don't currently have the relaxing, spa bathroom look you desire, this doesn't mean you're forever condemned to an uncomfortable space. In fact, there are plenty of ways to switch up your design and introduce some more calming, zen-inducing features. But before you can do this, you first need to establish exactly what elements make your space feel so stressful to use.
