In the fast-paced world we live in, our homes have become sanctuaries for relaxation and rejuvenation. More than ever, interior design is embracing the concept of wellbeing, integrating features that support mental and physical health into everyday spaces.
At Bathroom Discount Centre we're proud to be at the forefront of this movement, recently adding our first infrared sauna to our showroom. Let's explore the role of wellbeing in design, the benefits of infrared saunas, and how you can create a bathroom that nurtures your body and mind.
The Rise of Wellbeing-Centric Design
Design trends in 2025 are shifting towards holistic approaches that prioritise comfort, sustainability and wellbeing. According to a study by Houzz, 76% of homeowners in the UK are making wellness-focused improvements to their homes, with bathrooms becoming a top priority.
Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces; they're transforming into wellness retreats. Features like ambient lighting, aromatherapy showers, and spa-like layouts are increasingly popular. The addition of saunas, especially infrared options, is gaining traction as a luxurious yet health-focused upgrade.
Infrared Saunas: A Wellness Revolution
Infrared saunas are quickly becoming a must-have for those looking to enhance their wellbeing. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light to penetrate the skin directly, promoting a deeper and more efficient heat experience.
Key benefits of infrared saunas:
-
Detoxification:
Infrared saunas help to eliminate toxins from the body through sweating, improving overall health. -
Improved Circulation:
The heat stimulates blood flow, which can alleviate muscle pain and support cardiovascular health. -
Stress Relief:
Spending time in an infrared sauna has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. According to Livingetc, incorporating calming rituals like sauna sessions into your routine can significantly improve mental health. -
Skin Health:
Infrared light promotes collagen production, which can improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging. -
Enhanced Sleep:

Designing a Bathroom for Wellbeing
Creating a bathroom that supports wellbeing doesn't require a complete remodel. By focusing on key design elements, you can transform your space into a personal sanctuary.
Incorporate natural elements
Incorporating natural elements into your bathroom design can create a serene and grounding atmosphere. Materials like wood, stone and bamboo provide an organic connection to nature, while greenery such as moisture-loving plants like ferns or orchids thrive in humid environments, adding a touch of vitality and freshness to the space.
Focus on lighting
Installing dimmable lighting allows you to effortlessly adjust the room's mood, creating an atmosphere tailored to relaxation or invigoration. Complementing this with LED mirrors that offer customisable light settings ensures you can craft the perfect ambiance to suit your needs, whether it's for unwinding after a long day or energising your morning routine.
Embrace water therapy
Upgrading to a rainfall showerhead or a bath with whirlpool features can bring the soothing sensations of a spa into your own home. Adding aromatherapy options, such as shower pods infused with essential oils, further enhances the experience, transforming daily routines into moments of pure relaxation and rejuvenation.
Include wellness features
Integrating an infrared sauna into your bathroom provides the ultimate relaxation and numerous health benefits, making it an ideal addition for those seeking to prioritise their wellbeing. Complementing this with heated towel rails and underfloor heating adds a touch of indulgence, ensuring your space remains cosy and inviting all year round.
