In home Spas are In

Wellness Starts at Home

Wellness has been a huge buzzword in the last decade, and there’s no denying it has its place in our busy lives. Post-pandemic more and more people are working from home and demand for creating a Wellness or Self

Care area is on the up. It’s such a phenomenon that prospective buyers are showing increased interest in homes that come with their own home spa and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Sauna and Steam

Outdoor saunas offer far more in the way of variety of shape and design while indoor saunas tend to be more compact, built to fit smaller spaces and sticking to convenient cabin shapes. A sauna uses dry heat and is typically kept at 74 - 104 °C and benefits stiff joints and sore muscles. The steam at home experience is truly the ultimate luxury, whether you choose a quick 10 minutes before the morning shower or a session in the evening to promote a great night’s sleep. The investment in home steam is beneficial in improving skin health and circulation. Other must haves these days include a stone bath with a massage table, steam rooms and sensory rain showers – these are all part of the latest trends in interior design.

Seeking Calm

Sensory overload is a growing problem, so whether you’re drafting blueprints for a new home or are planning to remodel a spare room, try replicating the calming atmosphere of a day spa. Some imagine a spa to be a place with snuggly plush robes, light music with beautiful fragrances but it’s a place where we can forget our troubles for a little while and get away from our screens. A place to simply breathe and be calm. This vision can be created in your own zone.

No two spas or wellness areas are the same. They need to be both pleasing to the eye and in tune with modern aesthetics. Being around nature has such a positive impact on your health, and incorporating plants and other natural elements like stones and rock crystal can immediately add to that sense of balance. Lighting should also have layers that can be adjusted to create a softer mood. Creating a spa is all about filling it with pieces that will induce a zen atmosphere with a touch of elegance and calm. And, if you don’t know where to start, consultants like me can help to order the right equipment and tailor-make the space to the exact needs of the homeowner.
