<\/a>The bathroom as a (multi)sensorial experience <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First of all, it is important to define what our concept of a home spa\nis: you don\u2019t need to have sophisticated hydro- or chromo- therapy systems,\nsaunas or hammams to turn your bathroom into your personal spa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just by using certain key elements we can stimulate our senses so that\nthe time spent in the bathroom, however short or long, is relaxing and\nregenerating. All the senses except taste can be stimulated by choosing certain\ntechnical solutions, fittings and decorative items; counting simply on\naesthetics is not enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design, aesthetics and lighting: wellbeing at first sight <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
DESIGN | Regardless of personal taste in aesthetics and design, a bathroom fitted with contemporary furniture<\/strong> or in line with the latest trends immediately has a positive effect on entering, just as a dark, dated or untidy room can make us feel uncomfortable. Colour <\/strong>also influences our perception of a room and the sensations it generates: from the choice of lacquered surfaces to chromotherapy, to the bathroom walls<\/a>: never underestimate the importance of colour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding the perfect Ideagroup furniture for your bathroom<\/a> is the first step towards a functional bathroom<\/strong> that\u2019s always tidy. Untidiness and a host of unused products (that accumulate dust) have a stressful psychological effect that prevents relaxation. One of the principles of Feng Shui<\/a>, an oriental discipline that favours wellbeing <\/strong>through harmony among natural elements, refers precisely to the need to live in orderly places so as not to obstruct flows of positive energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LIGHTING | Illuminating the bathroom<\/strong> well is not just choosing the most suitable light fittings in terms of style and design. It also means making a precise calculation to plan the position and number of lights; choose lamps to use only at certain times, perhaps during a soak in a hot bath or relaxing shower; or take advantage of the benefits of chromotherapy by providing the necessary equipment right from the start. What if your bathroom is windowless? Don\u2019t worry, read our tips.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let\u2019s see how to exploit our other senses to create the relaxing atmosphere of a spa in the bathroom. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n WATER | The natural element par excellence in the bathroom, its essence. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you prefer a shower or a tub: there are no universal rules as everyone relaxes in their own personal way. The benefits of a hot bath are as well-known as those of a shower, which can be energising or relaxing<\/a> according to its duration.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n A modern, freestanding<\/a> bathtub or a maxi shower with clean-cut minimal styling<\/a> are small luxuries. Whether designing or renovating the bathroom, these are the essential elements to achieve the objective of creating a comfort zone worthy of a spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TEXTURE | The rough feel of wood<\/a>, the silky feel of Fenix NTM<\/a>, the softness of matt soft touch lacquers, the irregular texture of the surfaces of modern shower trays<\/a>, and the feel of contemporary bathtubs: design today is not only pleasant to see, but also to touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WARMTH | The right temperature in the bathroom does more than pamper us: heat loosens muscles so we can relax, and avoids discomfort when undressing and getting washed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to design the bathroom heating system properly and use radiators of the right size and output. And don\u2019t forget that nowadays designer heating units <\/strong>come in materials and colours that can be coordinated with the rest of the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COSMETICS AND FABRICS | The sensation of water on the skin, the little rituals that give the benefits of creams and massage oil, even a warm, enveloping towel: small pleasures linked to touch, to bear in mind when choosing products and fabrics to use in the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Touch is one of the most powerful senses we have: our skin is stimulated even before we are born because it is rich in sensorial receptors linked directly to our brain, thereby favouring the release of oxytocin \u2013 known as the happiness hormone. That\u2019s why studying a project that also stimulates this sense is essential to achieve a welcoming, relaxing environment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n HOUSEHOLD PLANTS | It is fundamental to breathe clean, fresh air in the bathroom: if there\u2019s room, certain household plants, <\/strong>such as Sansevieria or Boston Fern, absorb contaminants and odours and improve the air in enclosed spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n AROMATHERAPY | At times \u2013 when taking a bath or shower or pampering yourself with a quick wellbeing ritual \u2013 fragrances and aromas can be released into the room to help smooth tensions, based on the principles of aromatherapy<\/strong>. Scented candles, essences, essential oils: just remember to air the room afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What our nose captures influences our perception of wellbeing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to take smell into account when planning a bathroom that will act as a private mini spa, starting with proper ventilation of the room. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Music touches very personal chords: listening to it when relaxing has\nthe power to amplify sensations and emotions. Whether it\u2019s a relaxing melody\nwhile taking a hot bath or a song to scream out in the shower, your personal\nspa is not complete without bearing this aspect in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your favourite Spotify playlist is the crowning glory: you can listen\nfrom any of your devices or directly from your bathroom mirror if you have\nd\u00e9cor that integrates Bluetooth connections! <\/p>\n\n\n\n A well-furnished bathroom, well-lit and orderly; latest generation materials, carefully selected cosmetics and fabrics, your dream shower or bathtub; fragrant essences in the air and your favourite music to relax to. That\u2019s how the bathroom becomes a bespoke mini spa<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you found your haven of relaxation?

Don\u2019t forget the importance of natural light <\/strong>and how much it affects the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom the pleasure of water to decor materials: the importance of touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
And smell? From proper ventilation to aromatherapy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hearing also has its part<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
