Embrace nature

Natural materials such as wood, stone and marble create a sense of Zen-like calm that suits a spa-style room. In addition, if there’s a way to open up the view, take advantage. Obviously we can’t all have floor-to-ceiling windows next to our bath, but even a small window onto the outside world can be relaxing.

Make it a sociable space

Increasingly, we are using the bathroom as a sociable space rather than somewhere to lock ourselves away. This is, again, a trend that started in hotels. Having an open-plan bathroom, or a bath in a bedroom, is one way of achieving that sense of communality.

We’re seeing furnishings more often associated with living rooms creeping into bathrooms – think wallpaper, rugs, seating areas, beautiful custom-made furniture and even chandeliers.

Don’t forget the finishing touches

Whether it’s the flattering low-level lighting, the fluffy towels or the luxury skin and haircare products, the little extras are what makes a spa experience feel really special. The good news is that these ‘hotel-chic’ touches are easy to replicate at home! Light a candle or two, play some relaxing music, sprinkle a few rose petals into the bath (or better still, get somebody to do it for you!) and treat yourself to a couple of hours of unadulterated peace and quiet.

No place like home

As the nights draw in, we can’t deny that a mini break at a wellness retreat would be a welcome diversion, but it’s important to make the most of what we’ve got. With a little imagination, stepping into your bathroom could feel like stepping into another world!

With high-quality, timeless bathroom pieces, the right ambience and a little creativity, you can bring hotel-style luxury home. We can help you turn your daily routine into more of an indulgent, relaxing ritual – come and see us at our showrooms in London and Kent, or order a brochure via our website.
