Origin: A way of designing inspired by wellness spaces, increasingly common in homes in recent years.
Spa style focuses on relaxation through soft light, gentle fragrance, low sound and materials that feel good to touch. In a home it usually concentrates in the bathroom, main bedroom or a meditation corner, with stone, timber, thick cotton and plants. Unlike an ordinary house, where everything serves daily routines, the goal here is recovery and stress relief, so every detail is chosen for how it feels.
In humid coastal areas, humid spells are hard on bathrooms, so ventilation, extractor fans and moisture-resistant paint are essential, and anti-slip stone or tile floors are a must. Use essential oils, candles, thick cotton towels and river pebbles. Lights should dim so the night stays soft. Keep exercise gear and clutter out of this zone.
