The Bathroom as a Center for Wellness in the Home
At a time when 59% of American workers express feeling burnt out from work, consumers increasingly turn to their homes as a locus of relaxation and self-care, embarking on bathroom remodels to create a space designed for mental wellness.
The rise in self-care has joined up with a desire for luxury experiences in the home, as consumers look for a place to escape the pressures of professional life.
The proliferation of aspirational design content on social media has brought design features like freestanding tubs, double-head showers, custom steam systems, sleek storage, and aromatherapy technology into more homes, helping customers fulfill their visions for relaxation.
Bathroom remodels to create mini spas for everyday life.
To achieve a spa-like feel, designers are helping customers refurbish their bathrooms to incorporate luxury finishes and a calming ambiance. The trend includes replacing traditional chrome hardware fixtures with black, gold, copper, or colored faucet taps that add personal style and glamor. Consumers are also using natural materials like slate, stone, and marble for the vanity, backsplash, sink, and floor to give the space a feeling of the restorative powers of nature. Shower technology is being used to elevate the bathroom experience as customers look to fulfill their vision of a sustainable life by conserving water.
