The age of personalised bathroom retreats

Spokesperson: Mr. Anil Ahuja, Director, Colston Bath and Spa Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai

In the modern home, bathrooms have become functional spaces for wellness and self-care. This concept has only become more prominent in the Covid-19 pandemic, where people have the opportunity to unwind at home. Brands aim to create a bathroom that serve as a personalised retreat, with amenities to replace external comforts that are not available. After the lockdown, one has seen almost a hundred per cent increase in the number of home improvement and renovation projects – and that includes bathroom refurbishment.

Designers aim to capture a spa-like experience with the bathroom for indulgent self-care; due to the limited space at home, modern bathroom products incorporate several amenities in the same area to heighten the experience. Bathtubs symbolise luxury bathing, and modern models capitalise on whirlpool bathing systems and hydromassage therapy jets to include therapeutic spa massages. Multi-outlet systems are integral to luxury bathroom design, especially when combined with multi-point pressure therapy. Chromotherapy in shower systems and bathroom lighting combines different-coloured lighting to reach a certain mental state.

Personalised bathroom retreats can be customised to individual choice to maximise its therapeutic value, such as home automation systems being linked with health monitoring to recommend better healthcare routines. In the age of staycations and lockdown mandates, personalised bathrooms offer a safer, accessible and self-contained experience that is customised to your needs.
