Bharat Bhise Shares Tips on How to Set Up a Residential Spa

Introduction

According to Bharat Bhise, a residential spa has numerous benefits. From improving your sleep to helping reduce stress and pain. However, you need to be careful while building one for your home. Let’s figure out how you can set up a residential spa.

Tips & Tricks

1. Space – Most commercial spas are quite large. That’s why a lot of people develop the false notion of scale while setting up residential spas. However, residential spas are for two or three people at most and don’t need to be so large. Efficient use of space allows you to build a functional residential spa within just a few square meters. You may decide to build it outdoors on the patio or in your basement.
2. Design – The design and overall look of the spa is very important. You may choose a vintage, contemporary or traditional style and combine different style elements to reflect a cohesive theme. For instance, you may choose to have natural stone or sauna wood in the steam room and a high-end finish to go along with it. Irrespective of the style, the goal is to create a calming environment.

When choosing colors for finishes, walls, and other elements in the spa, stick to neutral pastel tones. Colors have a psychological effect and choosing calming and relaxing tones like pastel blue is better than stimulating tones like bright red.

3. Lighting and zoning – Lighting is also essential in a residential spa design. While artificial lights near the mirrors and guiding floor lights in dim rooms are important, try to incorporate as much natural light as possible with skylights and windows.

Zoning is crucial for residential spas and needs careful planning since you have limited space. Different spa zones are designated for different types of treatments and aligning them with complimentary features helps to maintain the natural flow and keep costs down. For instance, the experience shower and spa pool should be near the swimming pool when you’re building an outdoor spa. This helps to integrate all water-based features.

4. Spa facilities – You can choose to create all kinds of spa facilities in individual spa zones as long as you have the space for them. If you look forward to de-stressing and relaxing while you sweat, you can create integrated steam rooms and saunas.

The high level of humidity in steam rooms helps mitigate sleep disorders and improves blood circulation and breathing issues. The energy used in the steam room can be redirected to a small traditional wooden sauna that is separated by an insulating partition. The same can be done for warm baths.

However, facilities that are radically different need to be isolated. For instance, if you like the cold environment of ice rooms, they need to be completely separate from other facilities.

Conclusion

Bharat Bhise suggests using the above-mentioned design elements and equipment in mind while setting up a residential spa. A functional residential spa doesn’t need to be too big. It just needs to be zoned properly, have the right equipment, and an appropriately styled theme going for it.
