Luxury Bathroom Renovations That Would Make The Ancient Romans So Jealous!
Luxury bathroom renovations never go out of style. Even with the recent economic ups and downs, there are a wide range of TV shows on celebrity lifestyles and home improvements. People have quite a taste for luxury. Despite challenges, people are still willing to spend a little towards luxury items, especially when they can justify it by calling it a “home improvement”.
One of the easiest rooms to add a touch of luxury to is the bathroom. It’s a place a person can relax and forget the stresses and strains of the everyday world. If we can’t pamper ourselves in the bathroom with soft towels and luxurious linens – where can we? You don’t need to be rich and famous to get your hands on luxury bathroom renovations and add a true touch of glamour to your bathroom.
Luxurious bathrooms these days can be huge master bathroom suites with vanities using high-end material such as marble and granite and baths can be Jaccuzis where you can truly lie back and relax.
European influence has also brought in towel warmers and bidets. Not just high fashion, these bathroom items are also fully functional. Once you have tried these luxury items you won’t know how you ever lived without them!
Far Infra-Red Heated Towel Rails
Towel rails allow you to truly pamper yourself in stepping fresh from the bath or shower and enveloping yourself in a warm, fluffy towel. They are also an energy efficient way to at least partially heat your bathroom.
Europe knew about heated towel rails a good few years ago and they are featured widely in their energy conscious designs. However, Canada is only just getting a hold of the idea of how easy it is to install.
Now-a-days you can go a step further. Heated towel rails can have a “far-infrared” (FIR) controller that you can program.
What Is Far-Infrared?
Seniors are more likely to suffer from diseases such as chronic fatigue, arthritis, falls and injuries, chronic pains in the back and joints, elevated blood pressure, sleep disorders and many other conditions. Lifestyle habit and diet changes are often part of the overall treatment of these conditions.
But there is also much to be said for time-tested techniques such as heat therapy and its latest version, Far Infrared Therapy which can provide natural pain relief.
Far infrared light is the frequency of invisible light that is generated naturally by the sun. FIR Therapy is a type of low energy therapy that takes advantage of the heat generated by waves of energy from the far end of the infrared spectrum.
This safe and natural alternative therapy can be used in the treatment of a variety of health problems such as arthritis, muscle pain and spasms and shoulder or joint stiffness.
FIR therapy also benefits the body by:
- Helping the body remove toxins through perspiration
- Reducing tension and stress
- Improving lymphatic flow
- Boosting the immune system
- Increasing the circulation of blood deep in the tissues
Far-infrared heated towel rails allow you to make energy savings while adding a touch of glamour to your bathroom. Program it to turn on before you are due to wake and you will walk into a wonderfully warm bathroom.
They are practical too, because if you live in a humid area, you will find that heated towel rails help to eradicate mold and mildew and stop them recurring because they will dry out your towels quickly.
Heated towel rails are easy to install and they don’t need anything fancier than a standard electric point from which to run. They are self-contained units and little can go wrong with their installation so literally anywhere you could have a standard towel rail you can have a heated towel rail. You will find them in all shapes, sizes and colors so they will fit any bathroom décor.
“IT” Bathroom Renovations
Technology has brought us so much to enhance our everyday life…why not bring all that technology offers to your luxury bathroom renovation?
The bathroom is not just a place you can take a quick bath. Computer technology based bathroom renovations can create a stunning bathing experience.
Think of heated flooring, remote-controlled fireplace, self-cleaning toilets, TV cabinet and much more! You can even consider installing tech-savvy showers that allow you to customize the water temperature and flow with a remote control.
Get Relaxed With Chromatherapy And Hydrotherapy!
Aromatherapy is nothing new. It’s been around for years. However, Chromatherapy is the use of colored lights in your bath or shower. Combining this approach with hydrotherapy can create especially soothing effects.
Underwater lights with LED technology create a constant color wash or flowing color sequence.
Luxury bathroom renovations often include LED’s in the shower area or bath tubs. Chromatherapy gives you a relaxing, invigorating and therapeutic bath.
You can install shower speakers to add nature sounds or other relaxing music to enhance the experience.
Here are the kinds of things you can achieve by bathing in your favorite colours:
- White is pure and clarifying to the senses, as well as the mind.
- Yellow is hopeful and stimulating, especially for creative thinking.
- Turquoise is serene and stress reducing — think of the Mediterranean.
- Light red is bold, warming, energizing and courageous.
- Green brings harmony and balance to the spirit.
- Orange feels fresh — it invigorates and awakens the soul.
- Magenta reduces anxiety while boosting creativity.
What Is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy tubs use water to treat a disease or to maintain health. The theory behind it is that water has many properties that give it the ability to heal:
- Water can store and carry heat and energy.
- Water can dissolve other substances, such as minerals and salts.
- Water cannot hurt you, even if you are sensitive to your surroundings.
- Water is found in different forms, such as ice, liquid, or steam. Ice may be used to cool, liquid is used in baths and compresses at varying pressures or temperatures, and steam is used in steam baths or when breathing in.
- Water can help blood flow.
- Water has a soothing, calming, and relaxing effect on people, whether in a bath, shower, spray, or compress.
- Exercise in water takes the weight off a painful joint while also providing resistance.
