How to incorporate intentional wellness in your bathroom renovation.
The Agape DR Bathtub – Designed by Brazilian Architecture Studio MK 27 – Mariana Ruzant and Marcio Kogan. Because of the freeform shape, the tub will fit two bathers. The sinuous curves and wood cladding detail really play up the biomorphic design concept.
Ideally, we would always intentionally take care of our mental and physical health but at times we all fall short of the mark. Don’t worry I have a strategy to help you live more intentionally healthy at home. I’m sure you have heard the buzz about spa bathrooms for years now. Let me introduce you to a few new products that hit the market recently that will give you a rejuvenating spa experience at home. In fact, having a home spa has become increasingly more important to incorporate into your daily rituals because we need a way to restore our mental and physical bodies.
Biophilia should be a part of your design plans.
If you are planning to redesign your en-suite bathroom you should let your designer and architect know that it should be a sanctuary just for relaxation. If you are like me you probably need a space to reduce stress and recover from work and life’s stressors. This is why “Biophilia” should be a part of those design plans. In 1964 social psychologist Erich Fromm coined the term “Biophilia”. Over the years Biophilia has gained popularity. With the continuing trend of families living in larger urban areas. There has been a trend towards a widespread increase in physical and mental burnout. The need has grown for more ways for people to connect and experience nature on a daily basis.
Our brains are hardwired to function in the natural world.
Biophilia is the innate biological connection between nature and people and our responsiveness to experiences with nature. Therefore, it is intuitive that our brains are hard-wired to function in the natural world. Just the act of viewing nature can improve your creativity, and mood, and re-energize you. Some examples of this in your home could look like having a large picture window with great views of nature, a terrarium on your coffee table, the smell of potted herbs, a cool breeze through a window, a slab of cool marble, and leaves that create a shadowy effect at night on your walls, and fossil-rich stone on your floors.
6 of my favorite products on the market.
Below, I’ve included 6 of my favorite products that will transform your bathroom into a wellness oasis. The list includes showers, tubs, a steam shower, and organic materials. I believe that these products will be optimal for your home spa. Great showers deliver on streaming water sounds and messaging jets, which can be very healing. After all, nature provides the best clues for how we should create the spaces we want to live in.
The AquaMoon shower is a sanctuary that allows you to reconnect with your senses: Custom spray and lighting modes create a relaxing experience with water that revitalizes and reinvigorates. The recessed dome fits seamlessly in the ceiling for a minimalist look. If you would like to read my article about AquaMoon click here.

The Mr. Steam shower system comes with a programmable pad and a very discrete steam head with a reservoir for your essential oil aromatherapy experience and the steam settings can be controlled from the app. Most importantly, steam showers have been shown in research to provide many wellness benefits such as stress reduction, weight loss, skin detoxification, better circulation, mood support, and exercise recovery.
The Matte White 3D wall tile creates a watery effect. The wavey reliefs on the surface of the tile are more interesting with light and shadow. Available in 3 sizes with a matte or glossy finish.
Developed by AL Studio the Ghost Shower is a flexible wellness shower system and the minimal showerhead fits flush with the ceiling and can be combined with different jets for your comfort.
The Ghost_Big shower combines different types of jets and there is a showerhead that mimics a waterfall when turned on the shower head becomes visible. Designed to create an experience similar to nature that surrounds you in relaxation.
