What To Look For When Buying A Spa Tub For Your Home?

Bathroom spas are trending in 2022, as homeowners search for ways to improve their mental and physical health without the hassle of leaving their home. Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, getting out of the house and going away on spa retreats was a popular way of relieving stress. Since then, we have witnessed a huge increase in bathroom remodeling and renovation projects, as homeowners want to bring tranquility inside the home, creating a peaceful place to rest, recover and regenerate.

How To Transform Your Bathroom Into A Spa

Transforming your bathroom into a spa sanctuary is much easier than you think. Here are five simple ways to transform your bathroom into a relaxing oasis.

Choose A Therapeutic Bathtub Spa

It is important to select a high-quality spa bathtub, which is ergonomically designed for comfort and equipped with state-of-the-art wellness technology. If you're looking to create a true spa experience, the bathtub should include plenty of jets for a therapeutic underwater massage. The bathtub should also feature chromotherapy LED lighting, allowing you to create a calming spa ambiance in your home.

Incorporate Nature

Bring nature inside the home, by adding some flowers and houseplants to your bathroom decor. Indoor plants can help you to create your own private oasis, providing a feeling of tranquility and escape. If you have a beautiful scenic view of the sea, mountains, forest or fields, you should place your bathtub in front of the window. Watching peaceful nature allows you to switch off and enhance your relaxation levels.

Use Natural Materials

Natural materials such as stone and wood can help to create a spa-like environment. Placing small stones or crystals around your bathtub rim, or on your bathroom vanity can help with meditation. Choosing a bathtub spa made of a solid surface stone composite material such as AquateX™ or black NeroX™ with a beautiful stone-like appearance and smooth texture can also perfectly complement your spa experience. Combining stone and wood together can create a warm and calming spa space. You can add wooden accessories to your solid surface spa tub such as the Aquatica Waterproof Bathtub Tray and Waterproof Bathtub Mat . Carefully crafted from solid wood, Aquatica wooden bathroom accessories are available in teak, iroko and american walnut.

Add Soothing Scents

Create a spa-like ambiance by incorporating calming scents to your bathroom. Adding aromatherapy fragrances to your bathroom helps to enhance relaxation levels. Aquatica’s Aromatherapy package includes soothing scents such as Chamomile, Lavender, Clary Sage, and Eucalyptus Mint. The perfume canister is plumbed into the spa tub’s air blower system, heating the air and diffusing calming fragrances. You can also place different styles of candles around your bathroom with pleasant smells.

Select Calming Tunes & Sounds

Relaxing music is often used in spa salons during a massage treatment to relieve stress and boost your mood. You can listen to the soothing sounds of nature to enhance your underwater massage experience. Aquatica offers the option to add Integrated Bluetooth Audio to your home bathtub spa. This state-of-the-art system completes the home spa experience, thanks to powerful Class D amplifier technology, weather-resistant pop-up speakers, and an integrated subwoofer.

The Benefits Of Combining Hydrotherapy, Chromotherapy & Aromatherapy

Hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and chromotherapy are used at spa and wellness centers as alternative medicinal treatments to improve mental and physical health. Combining all three types of therapies together is the most effective way of creating a spa-like space, and enhancing your overall health. The calming lights of chromotherapy combined with the smoothing scents of aromatherapy can help to transport you into another realm of pure tranquility, during your hydromassage treatment.

What Is Chromotherapy?

Chromotherapy uses different shades of light to create a peaceful environment, relaxing both the body and mind. It is often used to relieve anxiety, pain, inflammation, accelerate open wound healing and boost energy levels. Aquatica’s spa bathtubs are fitted with integrated chromotherapy LED lighting, which can be set in a slow rotation or fixed color mode to balance and harmonize the body. Each color in the program has different characteristics, allowing you to choose a specific light show to create the perfect spa ambiance to match your mood.

What Is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a popular holistic healing treatment, employing different scents to enhance physical, physiological and spiritual wellbeing. Essential oil therapy is often used during a massage treatment to relieve sinus congestion, insomnia, headaches, digestive issues, boost immunity, regulate sleep, and reduce stress and anxiety. Aquatica’s Aromatherapy Package uses special aromatherapy beads from spa inSPAration, the very first aromatherapy provider for pool and spa companies. All aromatherapy blends are created in Southern California, and contain refreshing moisturizers for your skin.

What To Look For When Buying A Spa Tub For Your Home?

Spa Technology

It is important to look for a bathtub spa, which is equipped with high-quality wellness features. Cheaper spa tubs can break easily, requiring repair or even replacement. This is why it is crucial to choose a home spa tub, which features durable wellness system components and a warranty. You should also closely examine all the spa tub’s wellness features, such as the amount of jets, chromotherapy lighting, pumps, control pads, and water circulation functions. The best bathtub spas feature advanced wellness technology to ensure a perfect spa experience.

Shape & Size

Make sure you choose the right shape and size spa tub to perfectly fit your space. Before exploring bathtub spa models, you need to measure your space to find out the size of bathtub you will need. Aquatica offers bathtub spas in all shapes and sizes to meet both your personal and design needs. It is important to check the bathtub’s parameters under the product details section and look at the product drawings in the TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION section.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the most crucial elements when designing a spa bathroom, so it is important to buy a spa bathtub, which is comfortable for your body type. Aquatica offers a wide range of ergonomically designed spa tubs for your home, which follows the body’s shape to provide ultimate comfort and support. We recommend you use some of Aquatica's tools, which allow you to view and test the bathtub remotely. Aquatica’s Demo Videos display the measurements of the bathtub and the model, to show how comfortable this type of bath is for individuals with similar body dimensions. The 3D Body Position App allows you to create an avatar, representing your specific shape and size, enabling you to see which bathtub style perfectly fits your body.

Wet-Room

If you're designing a wet-room style spa bathroom, you can check out Aquatica’s Wet Room Add-On .
