Hello World! Welcome Friends! You might have noticed everyone’s talking about wellness these days. If you’re unsure what it means, it’s basically the idea of practicing good daily habits to improve your mental and physical health. Most of us see it as a positive thing but in reality, it’s easier said than done to take proper care of yourself when there’s work and family commitments to juggle.
That’s why some of us are looking to find ways of getting a regular wellness boost without leaving the house. And turning your bathroom into a room for wellness is one such way. But how do you do it?
Boost Your Showering Experience
An invigorating or soothing shower is perfect for that post-run wind-down and for end-of-day stress-busting. But standard showers often fail to cut the mustard and there’s nothing more disappointing than a shower running at a slow trickle. This is a common problem in homes with low water pressure. So, installing a power shower is a good way to combat this and achieve a much better wellness experience.
With a power shower you can fit controls that enable you to adjust the temperature and pressure to precisely your liking. Some of the smartest ones even let you save these settings, so you can get your ideal shower at the touch of a button. Many power shower models come with multiple heads and modes, so you can massage your muscles and sooth your aches and pains.
Going for all the bells and whistles does add to your overall power shower cost. If you factor in installation, your total spend could be anywhere between £200 and £700. But if you go for an eco-design, you can reduce your electric and water consumption. So, that’s something to think about.
Supersize Your Bath
A luxurious shower is great but many of us still enjoy a good long soak in the bath now and again. It helps relieve our stresses and strains and can help us get a better night’s sleep. So, if this is something you know you benefit from, you might find supersizing your bath is a good move. If you have room, a freestanding, double-ended bath with an ergonomic design is probably the way to go. It not only gives you a sense of luxury but means you can have a truly deep soak. A deep soak in warm water can help raise your body’s core temperature in a similar way to exercise and improve your blood flow, making it an easy choice for promoting wellness.
You can get large-sized baths in standard acrylic as well as stone, copper and enamel. For these, you can expect to pay between £450 and £1,700, depending on how high-end you go. You may also need to factor in an extra £200 to £400 for the taps and plumbing.
Create a Feeling of Calm
Dedicated downtime is good for your health and wellbeing but a busy bathroom isn’t the right environment to do it. Ideally, you want a quiet, relaxing environment to create a feeling of calm. If your bathroom’s crammed full of stuff such as half-used shampoo bottles and dirty laundry, you’re never going to be able to unwind. So, you’ll need to have a clear-out and reorganize. You could hide toiletries away in cupboards and baskets to improve the space.
If your décor is a bit too bright, try toning it down with some warm neutrals or cool blues, so you can relax and switch your mind off for a while. Try adding in some artworks with tranquil scenery and perhaps rethink you lighting, so you can create a mellow atmosphere. Bathroom lighting needs to come with at least an IP45 rating, but there are plenty of stylish ceiling and wall options you can choose from. Alternatively, light some candles and leave the main light off.
Add Luxurious Touches
Getting a wellness spa feeling at home is no easy task but there are some nifty tricks you can do in addition to the major changes. Adding luxurious touches is a must, as we all love to feel pampered and cared for.
Think about upgrading your bathmat to a bamboo board and invest in some fluffy towels and a dressing gown. And you could treat yourself to some luxury toiletries to fully recreate the spa experience. If you can’t afford to spend on expensive lotions and potions, you could decant your favorite everyday soaps and creams into fancy glass bottles.
Finally, bring in some greenery with moisture-loving plants. Not only do they soften the look of your bathroom but they’ll bring you closer to nature and improve the air quality in your home.
