Wellness In The Bathroom

Sounds old-fashioned and still hits the core. Because water and tub traditionally have an undisputed importance when it comes to well-being, relaxation and maybe even health care

However, water and tubs alone do not make a private wellness oasis, reports the Association of the German Sanitary Industry (VDS). In order for the outside world to be locked out and inner peace to be found, both the room layout and the furnishing concept must be right. The choice of color, material and lighting is also gaining in importance. Finally, the eye should also enjoy. Tumble dryers and washing machines are therefore just as out of place as cool tones and bright spotlights.

VDS Managing Director Jens J. Wischmann's favorites, on the other hand, include heat-emitting surfaces and subdued lighting scenes that can be implemented using various circuits and accentuate individual areas in the bathroom. Wood, used selectively in equipment and accessories, makes a decisive contribution to the feel-good atmosphere. Technical sophistication costs its price, says Wischmann, but the bathtub bubbles and bubbles on command, while the shower experience is reminiscent of an intense tropical rain shower. A must: storage space, a radiator that dries towels and a small seat. If you have enough square meters, you should separate the toilet from the rest of the room.

For Wischmann, wellness bath architecture also means “restricting yourself to the essential objects”. That is pure relaxation for the eye. It also reduces stress if no one has to wait for the other. Wash basin, tub and shower should therefore always be “a case for two”. Where it makes sense: take the window sill into account in the planning and design it as a bench. This promotes a homely atmosphere - with space for small ritual ingredients such as candle arrangements or fragrance sticks for a good atmosphere in the air.

Anyone looking for a connection to nature will find vital green on the walls, because it conveys strength and serenity. A mosaic of river pebbles on the floor of the shower exudes the charm of damp, iridescent stones by the sea. Good slip resistance and foot massage for free. A fluffy carpet in front of the washing area and the tub, on the other hand, covers the toes like warm sand. If you like poetry, stick a quote from your favorite writer on the wall.
