Where can you go, when you need to escape the outside world into a personal oasis? Here are some ideas from around the web for creating an oasis in your home.

Bring the outdoors in with wood, plants, and natural textures.

A white tub with a wooden board across it, supporting a cocktail glass, a yellow flower in a glass vase, a bottle of perfume, a bottle of bath bubbles, and some flowers and leaves floating in the water below. A window just behind the tub has more vases filled with plants sitting on the windowsill, and greenery outside the sheer curtains.

Scents and tastes: A simple wooden board holds your drink.

A silver standalone oval tub reflects the geometric shaped floor pattern. It has a wooden stump as a side table, and gold telephone-style shower fixture. Above the tub hangs a clear glass pendant light encasing 4 candelabra candles. Gold drawer pulls and door pulls appear on the white cabinetry to the right. To the left is a shower room just barely peeking around a corner. Behind the tub is a window filled with outdoor greenery.

Soak with a view: A metal freestanding tub reflects the patterned floor.

A bathroom with a walkway out across a tiled pool to a wooden seat between two green trees, under an outdoor shower head. To the right on the indoor space is a pair of square vessel sinks on a wooden countertop with two mirrors and lights either side. To the left is a freestanding oval white tub and some candles on wooden stands. A green rug is a soft place for your feet to land after getting out of the tub. Light streams in from the overhead open sky and bounces off the white walls and floor tiles.

Creating a journey, the trek to the outdoor shower.

An Asian-inspired semi-outdoor temple design, with a wall niche and Buddha statue with prayer hands standing toward the rear, between large plant fronds. A small walkway approaches the statue and leads from the dark tub in front of a beige and tan stone patterned half wall, with the shower and tub fixtures on that half-wall. A white towel is draped over the edge of the dark tub. Red wooden walls are enclosed by a reeded partial ceiling, beyond which the light glows onto the statue niche.
