Following the pandemic and an ever-growing desire to prioritise self-care and mindfulness, today's bathrooms have become more than just utilitarian spaces. Enter the spathroom, a design trend that has gained significant traction in recent years. It offers homeowners the comfort and functionality of a traditional bathroom with the tranquil ambiance of high-end hotels and spas.
Materials Matter
The key to a spathroom design is to transcend its functional role and elevate it into a personal sanctuary geared towards rejuvenating the mind, body, and soul. A lesson learnt during the pandemic, incorporating natural elements such as stones, woods, and bamboo, can seamlessly reconnect the mind to the natural world, while inviting in its healing properties.
Additionally, quality stones like Carrara and Calacatta, are also particularly popular for adding a touch of sophistication and timeless elegance to your designs.
No Detail is Too Small
From floating vanities to built-in shelves and hidden cabinets, sleek storage solutions that keep the space clutter-free are essential in elevating the overall feel of your space. When it comes to creating a zen-like ambience, it's always important to sweat the small details.
Blow the budget
The goal is to ultimately bring home a level of relaxation once exclusive to hotels and spas. If the sky's the limit then your spathroom designs wouldn’t be complete without a few high-quality fixtures.
From rainfall showerheads to stand alone bathtubs, don’t be afraid to splash a little here and there to transform a mere bathroom into your very own sanctuary centred around enhancing physical and mental well-being.
Calm Colours and Layered Lighting
Spathrooms, by design, are meant to soothe the senses through gentle colours accented with beautiful layered lighting. Soft blues, muted greens, and earthy tones create a soothing and serene atmosphere. While layered lighting, when installed subtly intuitively, adds a sense of depth and warmth, reminiscent of high-end spas.
Attune the Senses
Some of the very best spathrooms designs engage with all of our senses. Waterproof speakers bring the right soundscapes to your personal hygienic endeavours; essential oil diffusers, scented candles, or even bath salts can create an all-encompassing sensory spa experience; and blackout blinds and mood lighting complete your haven of rejuvenation with a personal touch.
