There is nothing like the anti-climax of returning home from a wonderful holiday and knowing that it’s time to get back into the daily routine, including work. Especially this time as you have had a mind-opening experience of visiting Japan.
You always try to immerse yourself in the local culture wherever you visit and in Japan, all that beautiful sightseeing, the mad pace of Tokyo, the beautiful food, and smiling hospitable people – it really was a holiday to remember.
An outstanding feature you really enjoyed was the bathroom design. Your business is going well so you have decided that you will be turning Japanese and tapping into your inner Zen by splashing out on something similar at home, especially when you’ve seen how well it looks and works at an Egham bath showroom you happened to drop by. You’ve even searched online for showrooms near you for more inspiration on this type of design, and the internet didn’t disappoint.
What Is The Experience Of A Japanese Bathroom Like?
The typical Japanese bathroom has a shower as well as a deep bathtub. The toilet is usually located in an entirely separate room. The idea is to clean yourself in the shower or with a washbowl and then, enter the tub which is full of hot water of around 40 to 43 degrees to soak and relax.
It is a similar experience to taking a bath at an Onsen, which is a hot spring, or a public bath. Once soaked and relaxed, you should get back out of the water and clean yourself with soap or your favourite products, ensuring that none get into the bathtub water. Your body must be rinsed clean before immersing once more into the tub for a final soak, and chill out as all the stresses and tensions of the day are washed away.
Which Features Will Allow You To Recreate A Japanese Bathroom?
If you want the real wow factor, how about going for a rustic stone tub on a bamboo floor? A glass basin with a basic chrome tap or a simple stone would be the icing on top of the Taiyaki cake, so authentic that you could charge visitors for the privilege of the attraction!
White and natural tones are most popular in Japanese design. A bamboo blind or frosted glass will not be too expensive, and will add class and realism as your mind relaxes and you think of happy times. Simplistic minimalism with clear open spaces is the way.
Wooden features will help you connect with the outdoors to aid the feelings of calm, while keeping your space neutral yet modern. Any shelving in wood would be a great addition, with perhaps bamboo flooring. Many ideas may be gathered after an inspiring visit to somewhere presenting the very best of Japanese art and design.
Make your bathtub the centrepiece with its simple, minimalist curves. Suddenly, your bathroom looks like a piece of art.
