Usually when people think of a home spa they think big expense. However, there are thousands of wonderful ways to create a relaxing area in ones home on a small budget. The one that I love most is lighting, because you can achieve great things with even a teensy sized budget.

Premier hotel spas are a great reference when it comes to the impact of perfect lighting. Sure, theirs cost more money than we care to consider, but it is the effect that we are interested in here. Dim, soft lights are necessary to set the scene. You can do so with out having to hire an electrician, or spending a bundle on fixtures.

Instead, aside from the functional overhead light that you no doubt already have in place, consider buying some candle chandeliers. If you have the space, place them low in areas which there is no traffic so you can see the beautiful dance of the flame, and reach them easily to blow them out.

Next, begin a collection of gorgeous clear glass candle holders. This way the permanent feature will remain a constant but the candles themselves can vary in colours should you choose. This way you can mix things up with your mood, but for years to come you will be able to keep the holders because they match everything.

If you have access to the right stores, and are a true bargain shopper, you should be able to complete this project for under a 100 pounds. Whatever you have leftover should be spent on some heavenly scented soaps as a gift for a job well done.
