Here at Shop4Blinds, we think that bathrooms are one of the most underappreciated rooms in the entire house. They are the places we relax after a hard day, wash off the stresses of a busy work environment and make ourself look our very best. But for some reasons, we focus all of our design dreams on having beautiful living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Don’t get us wrong – we think these rooms are just as important. But there’s something about a bathroom that, we feel, need more appreciation. Which is why we’re bringing you our top 3 reasons why your bathroom should be a focus – especially during autumn and winter 2020.
- Hot baths
Hands up who dreams about sinking into a hot bath or stepping underneath a waterfall of hot water at the end of the day? The heat helps to relax out body, allowing us to relieve tension in muscles and even helping to lower our blood pressure. For this reason, up to 57% of people turn to showers with 32% opting for baths and the others being unfazed, every single day. During autumn and winter, the cold weather leaves us pining to be back inside our houses. We wrap up in multiple layers, throw on extra moisturiser and brave ourselves for the impact. When we get home, it’s no surprise that many of us navigate directly for the bathroom.
- Self Care
Taking time for ourselves is important the whole year round, but perhaps never so prevalent as it is during the winter. Shorter days, less sunlight and less exposure to Vitamin D can cause our bodies to produce higher levels of melatonin. This leaves to fatigue and other symptoms that are related with depression. The lack of sunlight can also cause havoc with our body’s internal clock, causing us to face insomnia or trouble relaxing. One of the key ways specialists advise to help counteract this is to carve out time in your day for self-care. Any act that focuses on your own physical and well-being can fall into this category.
Many people opt for (as we mentioned above) a hot and relaxing bubble bath at the end of the day. Others take time to work through a structured skincare routine to help focus their brains. And others like to switch off with a podcast or music to help alleviate their stresses. Your bathroom offers the perfect haven to do just this. You won’t need to worry bout people ‘popping in’ to change their clothes or grabbing a drink quickly. Instead, once you’re in the bathroom, you have every right to shut off the rest of the world and just relax.
- Creativity
Many people spend hours pinning style ideas for their kitchens and bedrooms to Pinterest boards. However, bathrooms are one space in the home that seem to only get redecorated when something goes wrong. If there is a leak, a bath tub becomes damaged or we’ve completed the rest of the house, we may then turn to this smaller room. However, the scope for creativity here is huge. With the market constantly evolving and developing, there are a wide range of different accessories, paints and appliances that can help to create the home you’ve always dreamt of.
