Create your own personal well-being haven

In the past, bathrooms were considered as functional spaces that typically resembled a basic wet room. Today’s modern bathrooms serve as a small wellness area and meet the highest design standards. In many cases, spacious, often floor-level, showers and free-standing baths are the focal point in these oases of well-being and turn the bathroom into your own private retreat.
Wellness in your home bathroom extends beyond personal hygiene: the aim is to create a space where you can feel good, relax and unwind. When renovating your bathroom, you should therefore consider the visual effects that will turn this room into a serene sanctuary. For a harmonious atmosphere, include plenty of open spaces and group your various toiletries and fittings together.

Tip

When designing your bathroom, clarify the structural requirements with a specialist, draw up a floor plan and calculate the costs. Only then should you consider optional adding design ideas such as a whirlpool bath or massage jets to your plan.

Press pause on the daily routine

Add individual wellness features to your home spa bathroom to help you relax and forget the stresses of everyday life. It's the little things that make the difference. After a hard day’s work, unwind in a warm bath by candlelight and complete the sensory experience by adding a few drops of essential oils to the water. Let yourself drift away and listen to sounds of nature, meditative mantras or your favourite song in your own spa bathroom. After your pampering bath, apply a soothing moisturising lotion to your skin and curl up on the couch or under the duvet with a book.

Bring the fresh air into your spa bathroom

Creating a sense of wellness in the bathroom goes beyond cosiness – maintaining a fresh, airy atmosphere is just as important. If you are planning a bathroom or renovating your existing one and want to install a whirlpool bath or steam shower, your room will need at least one window. It will help you air the room regularly so you can turn even the most ambitious ideas into reality in your spa bathroom. If you have a windowless bathroom, the steam still needs to escape or harmful mould will build up. Modern ventilation systems that ensure good air exchange are a perfect solution in this case. Fresh air can also come into the bathroom from the neighbouring rooms if you create a draught and use a fan to direct the air exchange through the open bathroom door.

The positive effect of plants

Green plants are a great addition to your modern bathroom. They make every bathroom feel more homely and have a beneficial effect on health, acting as a “natural freshener” by filtering pollutants from the air. Some varieties are particularly good at maximising fresh air in the bathroom. Choose houseplants that don’t need much daylight and can withstand high humidity. Bamboo, chrysanthemums and ivy are considered air-purifying plants, while emerald palms and parnassia are decorative eye-catchers. For a harmonious effect, place your houseplants in attractive containers. At Villeroy & Boch, you can find perfectly shaped glass and porcelain vases, ideal for displaying your plants decoratively.

Wellness in the bathroom – what else is important?

Comfort and hygiene are important considerations for your home spa bathroom. One example is upgrading your bathroom to the highest standards with a modern shower toilet with contemporary features such as a heated seat and remote control. At Villeroy & Boch, you can also find top-class taps that provide water at a pleasant temperature. In the shower, state-of-the-art thermostats contribute to your wellness experience. Our square or round thermostats ensure maximum comfort with the aid of our easily adjustable shower holders and come with integrated scald protection to prevent burns from hot water.

What do you need for a spa bathroom?

A spa bathroom stands out for its seamless blend of high-end materials, coordinating colours and premium fittings and accessories. Atmospheric lighting, soft musical sounds and other feel-good factors, such as room fragrances and essential oils, will add the perfect finishing touches to your personal wellness sanctuary.

Pleasant lighting effects in the bathroom

Carefully designed atmospheric lighting in the bathroom will make the space feel cosier while adding visual interest. Large windows allow natural light to fill the room during the day while, in the evening, small LED ceiling spotlights create captivating light effects. To complement this, light up any niches or recesses using real or LED candles to make your bathroom feel even more inviting. To enhance the atmosphere of your evening bathing routine, consider using several small lights instead of a single large one. Stylish and unusual lighting effects will also enhance your spa bathroom. For example, magnificent chandeliers or subtle cabinet lighting will artfully accentuate specific areas of the room.

Showing your colours – the effect on your mood

The effect that colours have on our mood should not be underestimated. It’s therefore important to incorporate an atmospheric colour scheme into your bathroom design. According to colour psychology, cooler tones such as blue and green, as well as pastels, have a calming effect and are therefore conducive to relaxation. Neutral shades such as white, cream and grey also contribute to a calm and harmonious vibe.

Light colours are a particularly good choice for small bathrooms, as they make the space look bigger. On the other hand, if you have a large spa bathroom, strong shades can work well in moderation. Nevertheless, only use these shades as a contrast to prevent them from being too overpowering in your haven of well-being.
 

Tip

You can also include your chosen colour in your furnishing choices, for example by coordinating your bathroom accessories or textiles with the wall colour.

Perfect bathroom fittings tailored to your liking

Renovating your bathroom offers a clear advantage: you have complete freedom when it comes to choosing the various elements. For example, would you like to combine traditional materials with modern lines? Then opt for a combination of wooden furniture and stone materials to create a great rustic look.
Or do you have a penchant for luxury, preferring furniture and fittings with timeless, stylish designs for your spa bathroom? You’ll find striking black and white items at Villeroy & Boch. Our Finion and Subway 3.0 collections feature an expressive design that will coordinate perfectly in your spa bathroom. The Finion range also includes a modern lighting concept for maximum comfort in your bathroom.
 

Tip

Choose beautiful furniture with practical features: side units or colour-coordinating wall shelves are great options for keeping everyday items safely stored. A large mirror that you can use for getting ready and for personal grooming will also promote a sense of wellness in your bathroom.

From a rain shower to a whirlpool bath

A freestanding wellness bath is the focal point in many modern bathrooms. As the centre piece of your very own sanctuary of well-being, it will beckon you to hit the pause button on the everyday routine. Villeroy & Boch’s collections include beautifully designed baths that will form a luxurious style statement in any home spa area. From the curving oval shapes of the Aveo New Generation style to the oval Loop & Friends version, our freestanding baths promise an incomparable bathing experience.

In winter, or simply when the mood takes you, a whirlpool feature can bring even more comfort to your bathing experience. This little enhancement offers a warming and relaxing experience that rivals that of a fully equipped swimming pool. At Villeroy & Boch, you’ll find a wide selection of whirlpool systems that can be combined with our beautiful baths, such as Architectura, Oberon 2.0 and Squaro Edge.

Tip

Not enough time for a long bath in the morning or after work? Then pamper your senses with high-quality shower heads and rain showers that offer a perfect showering experience with different flow modes.

Wellness and relaxation at home

For that perfect spa feeling at home, opt for a pampering combination of scents, colours and sounds. With fragrances, coloured lights and your own favourite music, you can relax body and mind and soothe all your senses, even after a long and stressful day.

Head-to-toe relaxation

Indulge in all-over relaxation by taking an occasional cold shower or alternating hot and cold showers. If you often feel tired or exhausted, showering your face or arms, for example, with cold water will stimulate blood flow. Cold water over your thighs and knees can help to relieve swollen legs and high blood pressure by relaxing the leg muscles. In cold and wet weather, we recommend a soothing footbath, gradually increasing the temperature to 38 degrees Celsius. At Villeroy & Boch, you’ll find all the accessories you need for these practices – for example, hand showers with up to three different flow modes for selective massages in the shower.
Tip: short-wave infrared rays, known for their ability to generate heat in the body and alleviate pain, bring about a greater sense of relaxation. There is no need for an extra cubicle – you can simply have the modules installed in your shower by a specialist.

Scents, steaming hot tea and soothing sounds

Add the finishing touches to your home spa experience with sensory-stimulating room fragrances, relaxing music and hot teas. Fragrances such as lavender, vanilla and lemon balm help to create a soothing spa atmosphere. Add a few drops of essential oils to the bath water, breathe in and feel the aromas envelop your entire body. If you prefer a natural fragrance in the bathroom, a bouquet of your favourite flowers in a matching Villeroy & Boch flower vase will appeal to your sense of smell.

To set the perfect mood for your bath, we recommend soft instrumental music or natural sounds with a calming effect. Complete your wellness experience with a little treat: a cup of valerian or camomile tea to bring warmth and even deeper relaxation.. Enjoy your tea from a beautifully designed porcelain cup. Collections such as “Amazonia Anmut” or “Rose Garden” will make your tea taste twice as good.

Add feel-good touches to your bathroom

Enhance your bathroom with little touches that will bring joy to your daily routine. You can also elevate your well-being experience by selecting a few distinctive individual pieces for your wellness bathroom.

  • Use small, attractive accessories to add the perfect finishing touch to your wellness area. How about some small decorative bowls with nature-themed motifs to bring the outdoors inside? Or an adhesive privacy film for your window in a shade that matches your bathroom colour scheme? Bathroom furniture with built-in LED lighting not only looks stylish but will also create some subtle accents.

  • Villeroy & Boch's decorative etagere stands are not just great for presenting food stylishly; they can also double as storage for items such as cosmetic bottles and make-up accessories. For a creative touch and extra appeal, you can swap your toothbrush holder for a small, simple vase. Little “drop” vases are a delightful way to store your toothbrushes and give your bathroom to a creative boost.
