The bathroom of the future is getting closer and closer. The technology in Italian bathrooms is clear: in our country, in fact, hi-tech elements in the bathroom are constantly growing. A number that is destined to grow according to consumer needs. Find out what the hottest items are 👇🏻

Bathroom of the future: technology in Italian bathrooms today

In Italy the trend to insert hi-tech elements in the bathroom is spreading more and more. In fact, 19% of showers, 16% of bathtubs and 12% of toilets in recently remodeled bathrooms are equipped with high-tech toilets.

 

Italians are also investing in luxury details for the bathroom, for example:

 

  • Rain shower (69%)
  • 2 person bathtub (24%)
  • Dual flush toilet (42%).

 

Probably Italians pay particular attention to the bathroom because they spend a lot of time in this room:

 

  • 62% spend 30 to 60 minutes on it every day
  • 11% spend more than 1 hour in the company of their mobile devices every day.

 

Italians, not surprisingly, are in first place in preferring showers with tech elements (19%), followed by the French (18%) and the Japanese (17% ). Instead, we are in fourth place worldwide as regards the choice of technological accessories for the bathtub (16%), behind the Japanese (89%) followed by the Germans (28%) and the Spanish (19%).

 

The Pandemic and inflation have changed the way of living at home. In 2022, 68% of Italians spend more time at home than in 2019. This is why people are looking for more space, both indoors and outdoors, with innovative solutions that save on bills and respect the environment by avoiding energy waste.

 

In Italy a new planning of the good life is establishing itself. The house is becoming the fulcrum of our new existential project. The bathroom was the first room in the house to open up to innovation and has combined classic functionality with technological functionality through the creation of truly original components. The purpose of a hi-tech bathroom is to combine comfort and efficiency while also taking into account design. Now let’s see which elements of the bathroom have been affected by technology.

Bathtubs and showers

Hi-tech bathtubs are those that have numerous functions such as hydromassage and LED lighting for chromotherapy. The most used model is the freestanding one with innovative materials such as enamelled steel which allows easier and faster cleaning.

 

As far as showers are concerned, we are faced with more interesting innovations. Referring to the functionality of the shower, the changes made to one of the main elements cannot be ignored: the shower head. It is now possible to buy shower heads capable of producing different jets of water with adjustable power and which are able to give a real feeling of relaxation while keeping in mind the harmony of design, discover some of our < a href="https://relaxsrl.com/en/products/types/complements/">accessories. In addition, there are shower heads that have a built-in Bluetooth speaker that allows you to listen to your favorite music while washing without the risk of wetting your phone or radio.

Sanitaryware

For the Sanitary ware, systems have been patented that make the drains more powerful, generating a flow of water capable of completely sanitizing the surface, also helping you in their maintenance and cleaning. Furthermore, it is possible to find toilets with integrated bidets on the market.

 

The latter are an extremely convenient solution to save space and to be able to take advantage of the dual function there is a hand shower that acts as a tool for intimate hygiene. Again, there are sanitary ware with multifunctional remote control that even allow you to heat the toilet seat.

Electronic faucets

Electronic faucets are an excellent example of innovation, and in particular of an innovation that also looks at the environment. In fact, this type of faucet is made up of a sensor that is activated only when we decide it is and this has several advantages including avoiding touching the surface of the mixer with dirty hands and, above all, not wasting excess water.

Touchless faucet

Touchless faucets, as we already see them today.

Mirror

One of the elements to which highly technological functions have been applied is the mirror. It’s hard to believe, yet the mirror in a hi-tech bathroom is capable of performing several functions at the same time. In addition to fulfilling its reflective task, the technological mirror can be equipped with a touch-screen surface that allows you to adjust some parameters. For example, it is possible to activate the adjustable integrated LED lighting to always have a light source that best illuminates us; or you can connect a device via Bluetooth and listen to music; and finally you can also activate the anti-fog kit, useful for saving time cleaning.

Smart mirror with indicators

Bathroom of the future, what to expect?

Artificial Intelligence, data analysis, robots and more: within a few years, technology will take care of everything. The Bathroom will be the place with the greatest number of innovations. In the bathroom, technology will become the essential element. The intelligent mirrors that can already be seen in some shops today will enter all homes within a few years. Thanks to facial recognition, they will be able to analyze, for example, the state of health of the skin and recommend the most suitable products you may need.

 

In the bathroom of the future, the scale will no longer just communicate the weight, but will also evaluate the percentage of fat mass and communicate with the smartwatch to cross-reference our body temperature and pressure with these data, and suggest the most suitable diet in addition to activity physics to do. We will also have smart toothbrushes available that check if you brush your teeth in the best way and analyze their status. The SMART TOILET will also be fundamental for health, such as the one designed by the prestigious MIT in Boston, which will analyze the contents of the feces to obtain fundamental information from a health point of view.

How to decorate the bathroom with accessories?

Overview black bathroom accessories

Furnishing the bathroom with elements that make its use pleasant is important. Bathroom accessories are very important in everyday life. To make sure you make the right choice, Relax presents you with some useful advice.

What are bathroom accessories?

These are objects that make the bathroom in our home more beautiful but above all more functional. Bathroom accessories are essential to be able to have what you need with maximum comfort. They are also a piece of furniture that can strongly characterize the style of the bathroom. Made of various materials, bathroom accessories are found in many shapes, finishes and colors, so that each of us can find the most suitable collection for our bathroom: classic or modern.

How to choose them?

Bathroom accessories must be coordinated with the style of your bathroom. To make our bathroom environment more personal and original, it is good to think about accessories in advance, if possible when designing the layout. Bathroom styles:

 

  • Classic
  • Modern
  • Design
  • Scandinavian
  • Industrial

 

Each of them needs adequate accessories to enhance it. For a modern bathroom you can opt for metal accessories, moreover if the bathroom is classic you can choose more decorative accessories. Those who, on the other hand, have a bathroom with wallpapers that recall nature can opt for wooden objects.

Minimal black and white bathroom accessories

Is style also important for accessories?

Where to place the bathroom accessories?

Now that we have found the accessories suitable for the style of our bathroom, we will have to decide where to place them.

 

It is essential to place the accessories in the correct place in order to make the room more tidy and comfortable. We have certainly chosen beautiful but above all functional accessories to be able to carry out normal hygiene operations in the best possible way. The accessories, therefore, must be placed in such a way as to allow for practical use. Each complement must be positioned carefully so that it can then be cleaned without too much difficulty. The Covid-19 experience has taught us the importance of cleanliness.

Bathroom accessories

But what are the most important bathroom accessories we are referring to?
The products are different:

 

  • The towel rack
  • The toilet paper holder
  • The toilet brush
  • The soap holder
  • The toothbrush holder
  • The mirror
  • The toothpaste holder
  • The Recycle Bin
  • Shower shelves

 

At this point it is clear that for bathroom furnishings, accessories undoubtedly play a leading role. Now we will talk about their placement so as not to reduce their effect.

Wall mounted bathroom accessories

What are the most important accessories?

The towel holder

In general we can say that in a bathroom there are at least three towels that are used:

 

  1. Next to the sink for drying hands and face
  2. Near the bath or shower
  3. Next to the bidet

 

These complements should be installed as close at hand as possible to avoid wetting the floor in an attempt to reach them. These accessories, absolutely essential, must necessarily adapt to the size of the bathroom and its style. Depending on the space in the bathroom, the towel rails can be:

 

  • Slash
  • Hook
  • Ring

 

In any case, the position will be close to the reference sanitary fixture, while the height will change according to the use of the towel. We remind you that to prevent our towels from remaining damp, they must be hung up. An elegant and very practical solution remains Oblique P, a towel holder to be placed outside the glass . An integral part of the Oblique collection, of which it recalls its essential features. It can be combined with Oblique MV, positioned externally to the glass, hooked to the latter . It takes up the same finishes as the collection, allowing for always coordinated combinations.

Oblique P placed outside the glass

Roll holder and toilet brush holder

This duo of bathroom accessories, absolutely essential, must be installed in the toilet and bidet area. For this reason it is good, given the proximity, that they are from the same collection. The roll holder should be positioned next to the toilet, so that it is easy to take. It is preferable that it has a height of 60-70 cm from the floor.

 

The toilet brush holder is usually positioned behind the toilet, always close at hand but a little more hidden. For design lovers, the floor lamps are very interesting and are also equipped with magazine holders and mobile phone stands.

 

In the panorama of toilet roll holders and toilet brush holders, Oblique PRS is an elegant and functional solution. It’s a toilet brush and paper holder all in one. Very comfortable for the combination of the two features that characterize it. Available in polished steel and brushed steel, it matches perfectly with the taps in the bathroom.

Soap holder, toothbrush holder and shelves

Soap holder and toothbrush holder are bathroom accessories that should be placed no more than a couple of centimeters from the edge of the sink. The world of shelves, on the other hand, allows for a wider placement within the bathroom. The former can be free-standing or wall-mounted, while the latter can only be wall-mounted. Usually these accessories are offered in special sets or collections that recall their essential features. These accessories are available in different shapes, colors and materials to best match the style and characteristics of the bathroom. Let’s give some examples: one of them is Oblique M, the shelf for the modern bathroom. Stand-alone complement that can be an extra support in different situations inside the bathroom: it can be an additional shelf inside the shower or a service shelf inside the bathroom. Another example are the bathroom accessories such as toothbrush holders and bamboo soap holders, which adapt to the elegant bathroom; steel bathroom accessories are instead indicated for an industrial-style bathroom; while those in solid surface are perfect for a minimal Scandinavian-style bathroom.

Oblique M is the versatile shelf

Mirrors

Are mirrors needed a bit?
Anywhere but, for practicality, the one above the sink or the cabinet where you do your hair, make up or shave, it is indispensable. In addition to the simple ones, i.e. with the sole function of a mirror, you can choose multifunctional models. The latest generation digital mirrors are not just mirrors because they hide various functions in their structure. In fact, digital mirrors have various options that make them super functional:

 

  • Anti-fog system
  • Bluetooth to connect mobile phone and radio system to listen to music
  • Wake up system
  • System temperature in the room
Table mirror for bathroom

Vanity mirror

The designer bathroom accessories you don’t expect

  • Baskets.
    Waste bins are another important bathroom accessory. Today it is necessary to place a bin in our bathroom that contains waste that cannot be discharged into the WC. We suggest the classic waste bins with pedal opening and available in the most varied shapes, colors and materials. Many of these can be recognized for their unusual shapes and colours, with an increasingly sophisticated design.

 

  • Oblique MV.
    It is the shelf that supports the shower stall without the upper support bar. Oblique MV is a patented and tested TÜV SÜD product. Elegant, with a design that strongly characterizes it, it can support a shower cubicle in complete autonomy, with or without door. Available in various finishes, including solid surface, pure white and brushed steel.

Oblique MV è funzionalità e design allo stesso tempo

Bathroom accessories for the shower

Shower accessories mainly consist of:

 

  • Shelf or hook supports for soap bars, bottles and sponges
  • Shower rail
  • Safety grab bars

 

The internal shelves and the hooks must be positioned firmly on the walls in such a way as to reduce the risk of accidental impact. Finally, the safety handles should be positioned not so much for aesthetics but for pure and simple practicality in the points in which it is believed to potentially need an immediate foothold in one’s hands. Many showers have one or more shelves integrated into the sliding rail, alternatively you can opt for corner shelves that help save space.

 

We suggest placing the shower shelves at eye level so you can quickly find what you need. In the case of bathroom accessories to be placed inside the shower, it is preferable that they are made of steel since they must be in contact with the water. The best steel is the one treated with products that avoid the formation of rust. Near the shower, the towel or bathrobe holder should be placed at a height of at least 150 cm to prevent them from touching the ground.

Conclusions

Accessories are among the protagonists in home bathroom furnishings. In recent years, bathroom accessories have been an ever-growing section of design. The bathroom is furnished trying to mix design with comfort and functionality in the best possible way. This aspect in the bathroom is essential because it is the relaxation room par excellence. From this point of view, the accessories and their position in the room have acquired great importance.

5 (+1) bathroom trends for 2023

5 (+1) bathroom trends for 2023

Marketing Relax SRL Page 4
Bathroom with jungle wallpaper

The bathroom is one of the rooms inside the house where functionality and aesthetics coexist. Between confirmations and big news, the bathroom trends for 2023 speak for themselves. The 2023 bathroom furniture trends focus on materiality, shapes and colors, let’s discover them together 👇🏻

The charm of Nordic aesthetics

Minimalism: the Nordic style plays and stands out in this fundamental aesthetic variation. Today’s trend is dictated by pastel colours, increasingly present in the most famous collections and interior furnishings. In the bathroom in particular, the ceramics, with simple colors and geometries, stand out on everything, enhancing the surrounding elements.

 

Functionality and elegance are the elements that distinguish the extreme minimalism, typical of the Nordic style. Pure forms, with well-defined volumes, with few if not essential additions. The excellent reduction of the minimal style to the essentiality of things pushes 2023 towards a direction in which functionality and aesthetics find a meeting point in design.

 

Strong in functional shapes and geometries, the Nordic style adapts perfectly to a room such as the bathroom, reducing the overall dimensions and optimizing the spaces. One of the most fitting examples of recent times are bathroom furniture without drawers, with objects completely visible: one less element, for greater minimalism. The rediscovery of a simple and refined style passes through a rediscovered essentiality in shapes and functions.

Minimal total-white bathroom

Total white look.

Bathroom trends for 2023: plants for all tastes

Plants in the bathroom are certainly nothing new in 2023.With the beneficial properties they bring to humid environments and the ability to revive them in terms of color, plants are always preferred for indoor use. But, what will set the trend in 2023 will be designs inspired by nature.

 

The jungle style will be the undisputed protagonist of this 2023 bathroom trend. The decorations, such as wallpapers and tiles, will bring evocative images such as tropical trees and jungles into the home, with large green leaves and suggestive colours. This specific solution also meets the needs of those who, due to lack of space, cannot insert plants in the bathroom, still giving the possibility to admire the beauty of the jungle without having it at home.

 

Weaves and textures, between fabrics and materials of the furnishing components become co-protagonists in the jungle style. The linear and perfect materials, in terms of colors and finishes, will be outclassed by rougher and less worked textures. An example? Natural wood, which with its different and detailed veins manages very well to integrate into the thick green of the walls. But not only wood, also rattan and jute, which with their textures manage to connect us directly, through touch, to nature.

Is this the year of jungle wallpaper?

Suspended furniture: among the 2023 bathroom trends

It is one of the trends that have been confirmed: the suspended furniture resists not only as a fashion, but as an affirmation of functionality and elegance among the 2023 bathroom trends. The increasingly frequent use of suspended furniture, especially in the bathroom, brings many advantages. Among all, the ease of cleaning, which, in the absence of a real ground base, becomes very simple. The solution of the suspended furniture, as well as for practicality, becomes essential in order to create a bathroom environment with attention to the smallest details, satisfying even the most demanding personalities, who seek vitality and dynamism within their own home environment.

 

At the basis of everything, there is the need to develop the environment in height, making full use of all the available spaces. Suspended furniture is in fact preferred by those who don’t have much space available. A panacea for those looking for organizational solutions with which to make the most of the interior spaces.

Soft and delicate geometries

Among the 2023 bathroom trends, furnishing accessories, accessories and furniture have moved towards soft and curved geometries. The linearity of squared and rigid shapes leaves space for the movement of curves and soft lines. The movement, which a curve can underlie, is therefore fundamental in creating a certain dynamism within environments that have always been static. The result of these experiments has repercussions in all the aspects of the bathroom, recreating an environment that makes of harmony its strong point.

 

The peculiarity of elements with soft lines, with rounded curves, is that they can be combined with elements with more linear and rigorous shapes and geometries. This is one of the true 2023 bathroom trends. The assonance between the two creates interesting contrasts that focus on the lightness and carefreeness of the soft and curved lines.

 

As for the softness of the lines, in the decorative sphere, the great return of the arches marks the change of times. From a simple wallpaper, to the more complex arch system to divide two rooms, the curvature of the lines traces the way forward in 2023.

Soft geometries and arches that return.

Bathroom trends for 2023: bright color palette

Color has always been an important part of the home, but why does it become fundamental in the bathroom? Because, with color alone it is possible to have the same environment in many different interpretations.

 

Following the 2023 bathroom trend of soft geometries, the desire for vitality and lightheartedness also pervades the bathroom in the color tones. The precise choice of combining the softness of the curves with colors that can enhance them is a winner: the pastel color thus finds a precious ally. Among the 2023 bathroom trends, soft, calm and never redundant colors, with colored shades yes, but softened by the very opacity of pastel shades, are driving forces not only for ceramics and coverings, but also for bathroom furnishings. The sheen that pastel colors can give to the bathroom is total, with color palettes ranging from pink to light blue, ranging from soft yellow.

 

A great classic, of timeless beauty, is white. Especially, if our environment is designed to be monochromatic. White, in itself, is not trendy for the 2023 bathroom itself, but it appears to be one of the timeless colours, which will always be fashionable and refined, especially in the world of sanitary ware. As far as walls, furniture, shower cubicles or bathtubs are concerned, since these elements take up the most space in the bathroom, they are the first to benefit from the color white: in fact, white gives brightness and visually makes the rooms larger.

Multicolored bathroom ceramics

Colors and brightness.

Bonus: asymmetry as a game changer

Strong and characterizing details, such as material irregularities or asymmetries in furnishings and coverings. This is our latest bathroom trend for 2023. What can give more vitality to an environment like the bathroom than an asymmetrical surface? A raw material can, in complete autonomy, design unique spaces and geometries. Seeing is believing!

 

Man has always been linked to symmetry as a set of unique characteristics that give a place in the house a certain familiarity. The concept of asymmetry wants, with the help of a functional and inclusive design, to give movement to a room that has been conceived as static and functional since the very beginning.

Does asymmetry give life to spaces?

Conclusions

From the movement of curved lines to the vitality of pastel colours, the 2023 bathroom trends tell us clearly which trends to follow during the year, to update or build a bathroom from scratch.

Don’t call me a small bathroom

Don’t call me a small bathroom (or worse, a service one!)

Marketing Relax SRL Page 4
Half bathroom with wallpaper

The small (or service) bathroom has always been considered less important and less prestigious than the master bathroom, the “big brother”, but in recent years things have changed … Let’s find out how!

Two environments and two sizes

Within the domestic space, in many homes, we have a fundamental distinction between two environments: a small (or service) bathroom and a master bathroom. Two environments that are similar in function but are not exactly the same. Why this distinction? And how to make them equal?

 

Very often the service bathroom is limited to being experienced in a completely different way than the master bathroom. With methods closer to practicality and functionality than to the actual relaxation of a place designed for personal well-being. You will often see small bathrooms sacrificed in their functions: some without a bidet, others without a shower.

 

The truth is that many service bathrooms are furnished with a few essential elements and nothing more. Given the nature of this domestic environment, very often, the spaces are small and not very suitable for a relaxing environment that respects itself. The difference in all this is made by the use and planning of the floor area (and not). But first let’s see what are the differences of the two environments:

Master bathroom

Master bathroom or half bathroom?

Master bathroom

It is one of the most intimate and most prestigious rooms inside the house. It is spread over a square footage which, based on the available sizes, can also be of significant size. Located in the sleeping area or nearby, it is designed for the use of home owners only, a place of complete relaxation in which to take care of yourself and your well-being. Compared to the “service” bathroom, what distinguishes it is the unique feeling of intimacy it can give, even more so if furnished with plants, or with candles and scented oils.

Master bathroom with wooden walls

Master bathroom

“Service” bathroom

The service bathroom is one of the most functional and practical elements of the house. Specially designed to be easy to use by everyone, hosts and guests, very often it does not have all the elements of a bathroom inside. But why bore guests with the usual monotonous half bathroom? If you are renovating and you want to understand how to furnish your smallest bathroom with all the necessary precautions, making it more welcoming, you are in the right place!

 

We propose below some indications to make your “service” bathroom a real master bathroom!

Small service bathroom

“Service” bathroom

How to furnish the service bathroom

Why not make the service bathroom a comfortable environment where you can enjoy a relaxing shower?

A bathroom like this, generally used by guests, must be organized in order to be practical and functional for everyone. During the week it can become the second bathroom in the house, helping to reduce traffic!

Let’s start with the dimensions: very often a service bathroom has small dimensions, not always, it is true, but most of the time those who organize the arrangement of the furniture in a small bathroom, find themselves faced with difficult challenges to complete. . The spaces, not really large, force us to make very specific choices, let’s see some of them:

  • Choose a color palette that can brighten the room. The neutral and light colors will be able to properly illuminate the bathroom environment, making those who use it perceive dimensions that are much larger than the actual ones, it’s all a matter of plays of light and perspectives.

 

  • Avoid the “total white” look. Although the counter is everyone’s favorite color to “give breath” to the walls of the house, the effect of the completely white walls not only risks making the room seem smaller, not giving it the adequate depth, but it is banal and obvious. Our advice is to decorate at least one wall with a different color, fresh and vibrant wallpaper, or some pattern you like with tiles.

 

  • Use suspended sanitary ware. Smaller footprint, greater scenicity and quick and effective cleaning, are there any counter uses to a sanitary suspended from the ground? No!

 

  • Choose the right lighting. The goal of proper lighting is to enhance every element inside the bathroom and allow those who use it to be able to move easily. Opt for spotlights, perhaps dimmable, in order to have the right soft lighting atmosphere for moments of relaxation and a nice full light for when it is needed.
Bathroom with wallpaper

Why not choose a wallpaper?

  • Develop vertically. Whether you want to place the washing machine and dryer, large furniture or simply take advantage of the spaces present, use the verticality of the room. Just like when an architect develops an urban area, you too, in the small part of your home, can prefer vertical development: the space you can earn will be a lot!

 

  • Place a shower at the end of the room. A shower in the guest bathroom is always welcome, especially if it is perfectly set in a niche. The advantages are many: speed, practicality and functionality for the whole family and a fully equipped bathroom for visiting guests.

 

  • Choose a shower with the correct opening. To have the smallest possible footprint, choose space-saving openings: hinged, saloon, folding.

 

  • If possible, make a niche inside the shower. A place to store your items for body care, so as not to have clutter. Alternatively, choose a shelf that can be positioned at an angle, such as Oblique.

Let’s find out below two solutions for the small bathroom!

Bathroom with retractable door in less than 4 m²

Our first solution foresees a so-called “narrow and long” bathroom with window and the particularity of having an entrance with sliding door, a must to gain useful space. Sanitary ware and sink positioned on the same wall, creating an essential space to move with agility to the opposite side. Shower box housed in a niche of only 1.30 m. Our choice fell on Evox SC1, a shower enclosure with a sliding door with slow closing.

Bathroom with shower at the end of the room in less than 4 m²

Our second solution involves the insertion of the sanitary ware on the opposite side of the sink and the shower box near the window. The available space allows for the use of a swing door to enter the bathroom. While, the niche that can be obtained allows the use of a large and comfortable shower box with double sliding door, a plus for your guest bathroom. We chose Puro SC2, a minimal, generously sized shower enclosure, ideal for a niche of this size.

You will see how, with a studied and organized project, with the right advice, you can have a super comfortable and practical “service” bathroom, which will almost make you forget that you have a master bathroom!

Salone del Mobile 2022: news and previews

Salone del Mobile 2022: news and previews

Marketing Relax SRL Page 4

The spotlight is on again on the 60th edition of the Salone del Mobile, scheduled from 7 to 12 June. Find out with us what will be new this year.

60th edition of the Salone del Mobile

This year’s edition will be historic, a rebirth for the Milanese event. The key values of this year will be themes dear to the design and furniture industry: quality, sustainability, innovation, well-being. Last but not least, the celebration of beauty, a topical theme in the panorama of Italian design.

In the words of Maria Porro, new president of the Salone del Mobile: “The event, in addition to celebrating an important anniversary, will focus on the theme of sustainability, acting as a showcase for the progress made in this regard by creatives, designers and companies. “

Sustainability

Our relationship with nature is therefore a primary source of inspiration for this edition, which with the impressive installation by architect Mario Cucinella, wants to think about the issues of environmental sustainability, circularity and product reusability. Cucinella’s vision, which will have the name of “Design with Nature”, of ecological transition, of the house and the city as places of socializing and sharing with others and with nature itself. A complex ecosystem condensed into 1400 square meters, like our planet, waiting to be discovered.

What to expect

June will be a special edition, which will include EuroCucina with 82 total exhibitors and the International Bathroom Exhibition with 172 exhibitors, including Relax. One of the most anticipated returns of this year is undoubtedly that of the Salone Satellite. Exhibition created specifically for young designers under 35 (this year there will be more than 600). Young people from international design schools, to whom exhibition spaces are reserved. The goal: to foster contact between young designers and furniture companies. This is a way for the Salone del Mobile to express the inclination to research, innovation and artistic vocation that has always characterized the Milanese event.

International Bathroom Exhibition

The International Bathroom Exhibition returns post-pandemic with many new features. Approaching the spectators in presence will allow producers to touch the innovation and originality present at the fair. One of the new trends in the bathroom world, such as wellness, linked to the psycho-physical well-being of the person, will be the protagonist during this international event. We will talk about sauna, Turkish bath and other solutions designed specifically for home wellness. There is also space for the customization of your own wellness area: multiple finishes for a very colorful bathroom.

Focus on materials

Finally, great focus on materiality as a concrete continuity solution between design and the final consumer. In a world attracted and distracted at the same time by the infinite possibilities of digital, what has been lacking in these two years of pandemic is undoubtedly physical contact. Not only interpersonal, but above all material. The intrinsic link between man and tactile experience will be the protagonist of this show, with proposals for new materials, often linked to the natural world, in an absolute circularity with the key values of this year.

Monthly project: bathroom in the house by the sea

Monthly project: bathroom in the house by the sea

Marketing Relax SRL Page 4
Beach house bathroom project

This month’s project focuses on the renovation of an apartment in a building dating back to the 70s, in a seaside resort. With two bathrooms, one for guests and one for the master, the design of this beach house proved to be optimal for Relax solutions.

This month’s project

We are in a seaside town in the province of Venice, the 120 square meter apartment is partially renovated and already inhabited. Located on the third floor of a building dating back to the late 1970s, it is the kingdom of Chiara and Paolo. Chiara and Paolo’s desire is to create a dedicated bathroom for guests, capable of solving the need for toilets in the immediate vicinity of the living room, while, for the master bedroom, to create an oasis of well-being with a freestanding bathtub. from the center of the room.

 

Chiara and Paolo’s ideas for this bathroom project are clear: modernity and tradition must coexist in their space. Affectionate to parquet dating back to a late 1980s renovation and then maintained over time, the guest bedroom and bathroom must therefore be modern in the elements but devoted to a vintage style. In the guest bathroom, the flooring will change, but it will keep the same ideals.

 

With a beach house style bathroom, the desire to bring out all the characteristics of the sea was fundamental in the choice of finishes. From the colors, to the tactile sensations of some materials, everything is reminiscent of the marine environment. This is the moodboard that Chiara and Paolo had identified for the furniture and sent us for the choice of finishes:

Master bathroom

The project of the month starts immediately from the master bathroom, which looks like an effective detachment of the master bedroom. Developed horizontally and capable, in size, of having large and comfortable spaces where you can take a relaxing shower.

Plan of the master bedroom

Our advice in this case was to use a walk-in shower, perfect for when times are tight. Particularly suitable for the natural niche created with the bathroom renovation, it turns out to be simple, fresh, fast. Chiara and Paolo chose an 8 mm walk-in like Wall 8A with a brilliant finish, elegant and perfectly in line with the colors of the bathroom. Wall 8A is a glass wall in which transparency is the undisputed protagonist, perfect for a niche.

In the bedroom, just outside, the queen of the room, a freestanding solid surface bathtub has been positioned, with a pure and almost velvety white. Lilium was chosen, for its modern and graceful features, not bulky.

Guest bathroom

For the guest bathroom, the ideal solution was Unico SC1, also in a niche. The sliding door shower box fits perfectly into the niche of the second bathroom. It brings with it the functionality of a shower cubicle with a lower profile capable of increasing the containment of water and sand.

The finishes chosen were an obvious consequence of the mood of the guest bathroom, which moves between blue and white, in full nautical style. In perfect contrast with the blue that can occasionally be seen on the walls, the profiles are white. Consistent with the taps and the nautical style that adorns the room.

The bathroom becomes a wellness area

The bathroom becomes a wellness area

Bathroom or wellness area? Over the years, the bathroom has evolved more and more, veering towards relaxation and health, moving away from its primary functions and dedicating itself more to well-being and personal care. Quiet and well-being in your home environment are now common and fundamental to recharge your energy, but what are the steps that have brought us closer to this new functionality?

The ancient Romans

The term “SPA” (commonly known as a wellness area) was born in Roman times, it is the acronym of the Latin phrase Salus Per Aquam , or “health through water”.

The ancient Romans, in fact, were for most of their history assiduous visitors to spas and spas, which swarmed and populated ancient Rome. In fact, since the Republican era, there are various spa facilities and sanitary facilities in the villas and households of the wealthiest class. The ancient Romans, therefore, also owned a wellness area at home.

The nineteenth century, a period of transition

The evolution of the bathroom structure continued over the centuries, up to the gates of the nineteenth century, when the room used as a bathroom began to become a norm in the architecture of the time, especially among the highly available population. Here, the first dedicated furnishings began to appear, such as bathtubs and decorated furniture. It is at this precise moment that the concept of the bathroom as a wellness area approaches, in which it becomes an integral part of our daily life.

Subsequently, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the bathroom enters to all intents and purposes into everyone’s lives, initially conceived as a purely functional place and then changing into a place of privacy and personal hygiene.

The advent of the twentieth century and the new modernity

With the development of modern technologies, during the twentieth century, the results are remarkable, surprising. Shower enclosures, tubs and accessories designed specifically for personal care are starting to arrive on the market.

Towards the end of the twentieth century, with a greater knowledge of the hydro-thermo-sanitary sector and an increasingly marked exaltation of the individual, solutions aimed at body care begin to flourish: the living spaces are redesigned and the functional approach is opens up to new elements, often “stolen” from the world of wellness areas and spas. shower enclosures are born and evolve rapidly, in step with the times and the houses that gradually shrink.

The Roaring Twenties

Creating a wellness area in your bathroom? You can!

Today, with a greater awareness of means and tools, these elements become central to our daily life. The shower boxes evolve and with them our bathroom, which becomes a real wellness area.

But what are the precautions that we can take to make the bathroom environment at home more relaxing and comfortable?

  • Use soothing neutral colors for walls and furniture
  • Make use of scented candles (let yourself be enchanted by the most exotic scents!)
  • Use plants to decorate ( here and here our guides for decorating the bathroom with plants)
  • Use a multifunction shower cabin or Turkish bath
  • Use a heated towel rail

Relaxation starts with the little things

The bathroom becomes a wellness area: New horizons and possibilities

Wellness and personal care evolve. Thanks to which technologies? We show you the two simplest and most immediate solutions to elevate your bathroom to a real spa.

 

Chromotherapy

 

What does chromotherapy consist of? Considered for millennia one of the most effective and least invasive therapeutic methods for recovering strength, energy and treating stress, it is a technique capable of exploiting the harmony of colors to bring numerous health benefits.

 

It is well known how light is capable of resolving many moods and making us regain psycho-physical well-being, also favoring some natural processes such as the spontaneous healing of our body.

 

So why not add chromotherapy to your bathroom / spa?

 

Turkish bath

 

The origin of the Turkish bath is ancient and rooted in the Mediterranean peoples. Greeks, Egyptians and Romans immediately discovered the beneficial properties of a treatment like this. The invigorating and relaxing effect of a Turkish bath has few rivals in the world of wellness.

 

Thanks to the effect of heat, in fact, the benefits we can derive from it are many, among these we find the spontaneous dilation of blood vessels (which greatly favors circulation) and a purification and cleaning of the skin (thanks to the effect of steam) that they will make you feel younger after just 20 minutes of sitting.

 

At what temperatures is a Turkish bath performed?

 

There are usually two temperatures: one at the level of the feet ranging from 20 to 25 ° C and one at a higher level, including the torso and head, with temperatures that tend to double, reaching almost 50 ° C.

Three succulents resting on the sink in the bathroom

The bathroom is certainly the area of the house where humidity is most likely to accumulate. Especially if this is not equipped with windows. Air quality is important and it is good to make the bathroom a welcoming environment.

Eliminate moisture with plants

In the bathroom, humidity could cause some discomfort. Fortunately, there are many plants that have the ability to absorb moisture such as Ivy and Tillandsia that feed on the humidity of the environment. Likewise, the fern or Haworthia succulent plant that is used to living even in difficult conditions, feeding on the humidity that surrounds it.

Whether large or small, succulents have an edge as a bathroom plant, because in this room they will directly draw the humidity from the air which is their nourishment. Succulents are known as succulents precisely because they are able to absorb large quantities of water, this ability allows them to overcome large periods of drought. The absorbed water is then used by the plant to stay hydrated. The compact and often hermetic shapes are enriched with hairs and waxes that isolate the plant itself from the environment to combat temperatures, allowing the plant to conserve water without wasting it. Here the bathroom becomes an ideal habitat for succulents: they absorb water through humidity.

 

Decorating the bathroom with succulents is a healthy habit that is becoming increasingly popular. It is a new trend in eco-friendly furniture that involves the most striking and eye-catching indoor plants. Succulents are used as interior design elements. Adding succulents means adding greenery, liveliness and naturalness to your bathroom and is also a great way to regain energy.

This is why they are an excellent furnishing solution for those who want a touch of green in their home.

Conclusions

Furnishing the bathroom with succulents is a simple and elegant way to bring energy into the home and transform its appearance. If you introduce plants in the bathroom, you will begin to notice improvements in health and general mood. It is important to first study the location of the plants in the house: the spaces should not be overcrowded because each species needs its habitat to grow, but at the same time they must not be made to look too sparse or random. Our advice is to create a micro-plant area composed of plants of different sizes and shapes. But make sure that the plants you choose are suitable for that particular space.
