Massage Room Decor

I frequently surf Wahanda.com and look at all the spas around the world and so often wish I had 100 treatment rooms for just that many decors. Alas I only have one room currently, and as many other LMT's it is very small. Actually it is larger than previous offices I have had but the ceiling is literally 3 inches above my head. I am planning to repaint and decorate after the New Year, when business slows down and would love feedback from other LMT’s

. My idea so far consists of a teal and chocolate color scheme. The bottom 3^rd of the walls being chocolate, and the rest teal, then an 8 inch border of a lighter shade of teal along the ceiling, and then a “sparkly” white ceiling in the center is supposed to create the illusion of a solid base with a higher ceiling and then a lofty ceiling. I’ve also considered doing the walls in teal and then an accent wall in chocolate. Not really certain on that though.

And then comes the process of what stays and what goes for furniture. I have a Murphy desk in one corner, a short but comfy chair and clothing valet in the opposite corner. The table is diagonal from the door (corner) so that it gives a nice warm and welcoming appearance to clients the moment they come through the door. In the far corner, at the foot of the table I have a slender vase with bamboo and grasses that fall short of the ceiling by a foot. I try to stay away from that side of the room when clients can see me, or remain on my rolling stool so my size doesn’t ruin the bit of illusion. Most of my storage is under my table, though I do have a closet I use for dirty linens and bulk supplies. I do have an idea of incorporating shelves into the closet door more for decorations and display than any needed storage.

 I’ve made up a model to help visualize the room as it could be yet I continue to struggle with what to hang on the walls. Asian calligraphy is certainly a possibility but I don’t really see it mingling with the teal as well as the sage color I used to have. I’ve found modern art can be distracting to clients. I’m definitely being nit-picky after hearing comments over the years about “what would look better”

Anyone one feel like sharing ideas that can help me?

Thanks Ethelyn!

I keep my room decorated, yet fairly neutral.  I think keeping it clean and organized makes a good impression on clients as well  ;)

I like modern earthy-type decor (like from Pier One!): Bright flowery pictures in the entry/office, and modern art accented with mirrors and a 'victorian' overstuffed chair for the massage room. The 'symbols' are earthy and the philosophy is Christian. God is everywhere, especially in His creation... and He loves the relaxed atmoshpere of trendy heart-inspiring art. I love a healing presence.
