Today’s guest post comes from Adrian Barr, Founder and Director of Geyser Steam & Sauna who will explore the idea of creating a wellness at home zone.
The idea of “wellness at home” has been on the minds of savvy interior designers for some time now. Globally the movement toward creating spa-like sanctuaries in ensuites and main bathrooms for clients has grown exponentially, not only for the enjoyment of the home owners but as an investment for increased re-sell value.
Now more than ever, with physical distancing and isolation, having a space of wellness in the home is so important. And it has become even more clear to designers around the world that specifying a space within their client’s home where they can retreat, relax and rejuvenate is one of the most valuable additions to a new build or renovation.
Designing a natural healing sanctuary in the home offer clients a place where wellness is a priority, where they can find a balance of the mind, body, and spirit in the comfort of their own home whenever they choose. It’s about creating a space at home where clients can enjoy luxurious wellness experiences without having to travel to a gym or spa.
One of the key elements for a home spa is a steam shower. The benefits of a steam shower go beyond relaxation, steam has also been known to assist with allergies, respiratory issue and muscle recovery. Much easier and more affordable to install than you might think, a steam shower is a simple generator that heats water until it vaporises and then pumps that delicious steam into an enclosed area. It’s a simple idea that doesn’t require much space, just considered space planning.
The Mr Steam brand is already well known in Australia, having supplied the design industry for over seven years. Specifying steam showers for prestige apartments, luxury homes and boutique hotels around the country, designers love that these steam shower generators are simple and easy to install, and that they are easily accessible right now in Australia.
You can easily add the iSteam central command centre which controls the various elements of spa therapy – aromatherapy infusing essential oils into the steam, the mood-enhancing lighting of ChromaSteam, and Music Therapy supplied via AudioStream. The SteamLinx application even allows home owners to use their mobile phone to dial up steam so their steam shower is ready to step into as they arrive home.
With wellness at home top of mind, creating a sanctuary for clients has never been more relevant. For information on how to install a steam shower, on the spatial considerations and on the best materials to use, visit mrsteam.com.au/ or phone 1800 GEYSER (439 737)
