Opportunities to Live a Healthier More Productive Lifestyle

Taylor CStandard

Designing for health and wellness is no longer a fad. It has become a staple and for many good reasons. In our ever-connected, technologically sophisticated world, we have found that our clients lack both connection and time, and those shortcomings are fueling demand for in-home spas and baths that provide a place for relaxation, comfort and stress relief.

A bathroom serves functional purposes for grooming and hygiene, and those activities are improved with the proper lighting, ventilation and with anti-bacterial materials and fixtures. Today’s manufacturers are harnessing the ability of water, light, color, sound, music, smell and technology to provide therapies that promote health and wellness and a more enjoyable lifestyle. The following is a list of common fixtures and design concepts that clients are employing to obtain healthier and more fulfilling lifestyles.
