EXPERIENCE SPA LUXURY WITHOUT EVER LEAVING YOUR HOME

When planning your next spa getaway, consider the possibilities of creating an in-home retreat and escaping to your own personal spa within minutes. Today’s master bathrooms have transformed into a getaway for busy homeowners – a visit to the spa within the confines of your own home.

To create your own retreat: consider these luxurious bathroom features:

FREESTANDING TUBS 

Like a piece of art, a freestanding tub can be a beautiful focal point of the bathroom. Today’s modern tubs feature sleek lines, geometric shapes and a wide variety of coordinating freestanding faucets and handshowers. The tub’s generous size provides the ultimate in all-around comfort and relaxation.

DIGITAL SHOWERING SYSTEMS

Turn a routine shower into a personalized hydro-therapy experience with the help of a digital interface system. Functioning as a remote control, the digital display lets you to save your favorite temperatures and showerhead combinations, as well as play music from your favorite handheld device.

STEAM SHOWERS 

Enjoy the spa experience of lounging in a steam room within the comfort and privacy of your own home. Steam showers produce steam in seconds, and some systems even include Bluetooth technology that can control water temperature, light and music from your mobile device. Be advised, there are many factors to consider when converting a traditional shower into a steam shower such as: bathroom size, access to behind-wall panels, shower door height and where the steamhead should be mounted. We recommend working with a licensed professional contractor to make sure your shower is compliant with your local building regulations.

ONE-TOUCH OR TOUCHLESS FAUCETS

While you are probably accustomed to touchless faucet technology in commercial settings such as airports or public restrooms, one-touch and touchless technology is now available in the home. Simply tap or wave anywhere on the spout or handle to start and stop the flow of water. Water temperature is controlled manually just like with a standard faucet.

LAYERS OF LIGHT

Proper lighting is essential to create a relaxing spa experience. Recessed fixtures provide excellent ambient lighting, while decorative pendants and chandeliers provide accent lighting and showcase your personal design aesthetic. Vertical fixtures or sconces mounted on either side of the mirror are best for applying makeup and shaving.
