Ways to Make Your Shower Experience Serene Post a Hectic Day

A home is much more than just a residence. It is a place where we feel safe, we relax and rejuvenate, spend time with family and friends, and make beautiful memories. It is the place we come back to after a long, hectic day and look forward to decompressing completely. So what is it that you look forward to after a hot, sultry summer day? Or a really cold and uncomfortable winter day out? It has to be the serenity of a long, wonderful shower.

If you are wondering how to make your shower more serene, here are some tips.    

1. Rainfall Experience - Some of our best childhood memories centre on the rain – splashing in them, running out to get all drenched and wet, and playing in them. Recreate the therapeutic experience of a walk through the rain with a rainfall showerhead. Feel the rainfall melt away the stress and activity of the day as you soak in the warm and invigorating downpour.

2. Massage The Stress Away - Getting back from a long, busy day at work, a strenuous gym workout, or even an exciting evening of socialising? The one thing that you want is a relaxing massage. You can now get this in your shower panel. Instal a hydro massage shower that offers your hot, cold, and jet speed options for the perfect deep tissue massage that can get you to relax completely.

3. Personal Spa - If you are looking to make your shower more serene, nothing quite beats the spa experience. Get a fixed shower column or a combination of a handheld and overhead shower system - whatever you choose, look for one with a spa shower experience. This is the ultimate indulgence, and you deserve it. Some of the top bathroom fixture brands in India offer an in-built steam shower as well.

4. Negative Ion Filter - Fitting your shower with a negative ion filter is a great idea. Studies show negative ion filter systems help in reducing stress levels and also resolve allergies and asthma. If you live in a city like Mumbai or Delhi, this is a particularly helpful feature that will remove the harmful effects of pollution. Talk of therapeutic showers, and this is the ultimate experience.

5. The Shower Bench - Moving on to the shower experience itself, who doesn’t love a long soak after a particularly hot and humid day? But what if you didn’t have to stand through the experience? Adding a shower bench in marble, granite, or any other water-resistant material is one of the indulgences you deserve.

6. Niche or Ledge - One of the key aspects of having a destressing shower is stocking up on the right products. Aromatic oils, body washes, shampoos and conditioners – all within easy reach. The niche storage system is indeed the most popular. It makes for easy storage and cleaning, but you may opt for the storage ledge if it suits the décor. Whatever you do, pick the most wonderful shower products for a relaxing experience.

7. Light, Sound, Action – Adding a lighting system that can go from mellow to bright, soft to warm, and light to serene can do wonders for your shower and bathroom. Make it all about your mood. A sound system that plays natural sounds or soft music is another way to guarantee a relaxing shower.

8. Accessorize, accessorise - Your bath accessories are as important as the shower experience itself. Do not scrimp on towels, bath sheets, and antiskid mats. You want to step out of a refreshing shower and pull on an ultra-soft bathrobe that feels warm and cosy against your skin. That is the ultimate luxury.

9. Bath and Beyond - It is important to remember that not all days are shower days. Sometimes all you need is to soak in the warmth of a bubble bath or let bath salts work their magic. Installing a high-quality bathtub is something you should consider if your home is unbridled by space constraints.

10. Classy And Clear - Your home should showcase your vibrancy and colourful tastes. Your bathroom, on the other hand, is a place for calm and serenity. White and black tiles, countertops, fittings, and accessories never go out of fashion. To add a touch of luxury, temper your black-and-white bathroom and shower with golden railings or fixtures.

If you are looking to customise your bathroom and install a high-grade shower with multiple settings, it may be a good idea to talk to your developer and work with them. This is all the more convenient if you buy a property that is under construction rather than a ready-made flat. Most developers accommodate minor changes in the property that you have bought as long as it does not affect the structural elements of the building or unit plan. Your Blox relationship manager will help you liaise with the builder or developer so you can negotiate the personalisation that you want.
