How do bathrooms lead to wellness?

The bathroom is often the least appreciated room. Yet, we start and end our day in it. Put some thought into your bathroom. Design it in your mind as a space in which you will feel calm and serene. There are other rooms in the house for activity and excitement.

Think.

What colours do you find calming? Do you relax better in the bath or in the shower? Do you have room for a bathroom sauna? Do you share your bathroom or is it your personal sanctuary?

Now make your choices.

Pick colours and finishes that will please you and help you unwind.

Be aware of the position of the door and window and find the layout that makes best use of morning light.

Put special attention into fabrics. Your towels, rugs, and curtains help to soften the space - and the colours used should bring you a calm serenity.

Be sure to think of adequate storage. This will free your bathroom from clutter. A tidy space is better for an easy mind.

Choose fixtures and fittings that work well and will last for years. You want complete peace of mind.

Your bathroom is an oasis of calm that’s free from the noise of the outside world. Be sure to plan it out in a way that suits your highest ideal of calm.

Think of your bathroom as a no-phone room.

Free from distraction, you can connect with yourself. You can enjoy a few restorative moments without the distraction of our daily obligations.

No matter the time of day,

Make time for yourself.

Morning Rituals

Our day starts in the bathroom, a room that can give us a moment of stillness.

TIP:

Don’t pick up your phone until an hour after waking time.

Instead, use your time in the bathroom for breathing exercises. This starts your day with a natural calm.

TIP:

Mindful Moments with Essential Oils.

Add a few drops of calming essential oil like lavender or chamomile to your shower tray. The steam will release the aroma, filling the air with a soothing fragrance that promotes relaxation and sets a positive tone for your day.

It’s daytime

Your bathroom can be host to a sauna. 30 minutes in the sauna are rejuvenating and restorative.

TIP:

Relax and use the time to be alone with your thoughts.

Take a thought into the sauna, one you have been meaning to take the time to explore.

TIP:

Take a Mindful Bath.

Take some time in your day for a bath. Don’t rush it - turn it into a mindful experience. Add Epsom salts or a bath bomb, focus on your breath, and let the warm water soothe your muscles and mind.

Sweet Dreams

Our day ends in the bathroom. It’s another opportunity to connect body and mind. Stretch, breathe, relax. A still mind leads to restful sleep.

Dim the Lights and Unwind.

As the day winds down, lower the lights in your bathroom to signal to your body that it's time to relax. Light a candle (or ten) to create a soothing ambiance that promotes tranquillity and prepares you for sleep.

Practice Gentle Stretching or Yoga.

Your bathroom is the perfect place to practise a few simple stretches or yoga poses. These gentle movements can help release tension from the day, improve circulation, and promote a sense of calm before bed.
