Did you know that the Greeks and Romans actually invented great bathroom design concepts starting from their “communal baths”? They also incorporated the relaxation techniques from the mineral salts they added that they believed had healing properties.
Gone are the communal baths today, but we have incorporated the principal of healing and relaxation techniques into our bathroom designs. Now bathtubs with jets like Jacuzzi’s are used while mineral salts like lavender soothe and comfort our sore muscles.
The key elements of good bathroom design are peace and tranquility and no doubt introduce the “bathroom bliss” we all strive to achieve. This room is your private sanctuary to unwind and escape the cares of this world. It is the design theme you should start and finish with.
For the ultimate in relaxation, light fragrant candles, play soft music in the background and soak in hot water mixed with lavender mineral salts. Doesn’t this sound like “bathroom bliss”?
This is the secret that most health spas use today. They know how to incorporate the maximum benefits of relaxation techniques to relieve our tension and stress we all tend to bring home from the office. In essence they have achieved the ultimate in “bathroom bliss”.
But the same design concept can be easily achieved in our own bathroom designs no matter how large or small they may be.
You will need to start with a design theme that is calm and soothing like a Japanese or English garden. Choose from either cool colors like blues and greens or warm colors like reds, gold and orange.
Today’s bathroom fixtures are limitless with so many styles, colors and shapes to choose from. Remember to stick to your design theme when selecting your tubs, sinks, faucets, lighting and flooring. The store representatives can help you or consider hiring an Interior Designer. A more formal and luxurious pick may be granite and marble. A more casual direction may be slate or travertine.
Top off with design accents like plush towels and accent rugs. Soon you’ll have your private “oasis” that you can escape to. It’s your “bathroom bliss” that you can enjoy each and every day because you deserve it.
