Achieving Zen in Your Modern Bathroom 

 

After a long or busy day, we all find ourselves seeking those moments of solitude, where we can relax and unwind without distraction. Many of us turn to the bathroom for a mindful and soothing experience that washes away the day, boosts our mood and leaves us feeling refreshed. 

Typically, the first thing we think of when imagining a blissful bathroom is the bath or shower. But achieving zen in our bathroom isn’t just about the bathing or showering experience. Tranquillity and peacefulness are also largely achieved through our environment. You could have the most soothing shower escape but if the rest of your bathroom isn’t up to scratch, you’ll never achieve that truly relaxing atmosphere that allows you to let everything go and be present in the moment. 

The great thing about modern bathroom design is that luxury is at the forefront. And with that comes the ease of recreating a spa-like aura in our homes. Modern, innovative design considers our need for a calming bathroom experience and weaves this beautifully into the products, generating a wide range of features that create a blissful bathroom design. 

 

Calm The Mind with Colour 

 

The colour of our space has a huge impact on both our mood and the atmosphere of the room. Some colours are more appropriate for focus and productivity, such as blues and oranges, while others can produce a more negative emotional response, such as reds and dark browns. Therefore, it’s important to bring colours that promote peace and happiness into your tranquil bathroom space. Our Hackney furniture range provides the perfect hues. For a blissful bathroom design, we recommend Cherry Wood Effect and Earthy Green.  

Cherry Wood Effect: Accentuating the natural beauty of the material, the Cherry Wood Effect allows a raw wooden texture to shine through. A rustic, calming nature-inspired bathroom design is elevated with Cherry Wood Effect bathroom furniture. 

Earthy Green: On-trend, bold and soothing, bring the calming effects of nature into your bathroom with Hackney in Earthy Green. Whether part of a bold design or used as a beautiful colour accent, this soothing tone brings tranquillity to your modern bathroom design. 

A Clean and Tidy Space

 

It may not seem so important, but a clean and tidy space can make a huge difference to the atmosphere and therefore our emotions and wellbeing. Clutter and disorganisation can leave our brains feeling the same, hindering our ability to unwind. Whereas a space free from mess not only looks good but also leaves our mind free to be mindful and destress. 

To achieve a clutter-free space, we need bathroom furniture that is designed to perfectly conceal all our bathroom essentials. That’s where our Hackney wall hung furniture shines. This modular furniture collection consists of a single drawer and shelf unit in a variety of sizes and a double shelving unit that all fit together, producing a wide range of possible configurations. This means that you can make your bathroom furniture as big or as small as you need and with as many drawers or shelves as required to hold all your bathroom bits and bobs. 

 

Sleek, Contemporary Design 

 

Storing away your bathroom essentials in beautiful bathroom furniture is perfect for keeping your bathroom tidy and peaceful. But you can take this one step further for a truly calming design. Featuring sleek, modern products in your bathroom design can go a long way to producing that desired spa-like atmosphere. Take our Hackney furniture units for example. It might seem like such a minor detail but the handle-less design on the drawers removes one more piece of jarring detail from the bathroom, aiding in the production of a peaceful atmosphere. 

Utilising modern push-to-open technology, these drawers are easy to open with a gentle touch. With smooth rails and a soft movement, the opening of the drawer doesn’t disturb the tranquil ambience with excessive noise or jolted motion. 

 

Luxurious Finishing Touches 

 

For a truly blissful bathroom design, it’s important to achieve harmony between every element in your bathroom. Those finishing touches don’t just impact the design, they impact the way you experience the space. That’s why our Hackney furniture comes with the option of a worktop perfect for a beautiful and luxurious countertop basin

Bringing a touch of sophistication and luxury into our design, no matter how small, can elevate the spa-like aura and leave us feeling soothed. The perfect way to achieve this is by including a countertop basin. Choose a countertop basin with soft curves and a gentle, rounded design, such as our Oval Countertop Basin. If nature soothes you, our Pebble Countertop Basin brings the beautiful shape of a pebble with the calming memory of the beach into your tranquil bathroom design.

With the right considerations across your bathroom design, you can achieve a blissful space, an escape from the day-to-day and a place to unwind. Bring ultimate relaxation into your modern bathroom with our range of soothing baths and modern bath fillers
