How to Promote Wellness in Your New Bathroom

Advice inspired by new products found at KBIS 2024

Just as people invest in gym memberships, healthy food and workout clothes, many are also investing in their wellness at home. Thankfully, popular building products manufacturers like Kohler and American Standard are making it easier than ever to do so. This wellness-focused design trend is showing up throughout out the house, but especially in the kitchen and bathroom.

Bathrooms are the space where you get ready and recover from your workouts and workdays. For some people, that means a enjoying deep tub soak with bubbles piled up a mile high. For others, taking a hot steam shower with a massaging showerhead is the best way to face the day, or relax.  At the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), manufacturers reveal the latest bathroom products, designed to make the bathroom a space for wellness and relaxation. You can create a healthy, spa-like bathroom of your dreams in your new home from this inspiration.

Personal Hygiene

Personal hygiene, whether to prepare for your workday or after exercise, is also tied to wellness.  Toilets with bidet functionality improve hygiene over toilet paper. It used to be that you’d have to spend thousands of dollars for a bidet style toilet, but at the most recent Kitchen & Bath Industry Show for the building and remodeling trade, many bidets are coming in at more affordable price points.

Innovations in safety for support and ADA-compliance include items like Kohler’s Toilet Armrest Accessory. Its ergonomic design and easy installation make it a must for accessible living. This toilet accessory makes it easy to both sit and dismount. With arms that raise up out of the way, the design is ideal for all.

Other innovations include Toto’s wall-hung NEOREST WX series of smart toilets. Not only do you enjoy smart technology, these sleek toilets are space-saving with a square design, soft floor illumination, and weight distribution.

Kohler’s SpaViva Handshower & All-in-One Cleansing Device is the ideal way to enjoy a beauty routine in the shower. Essential skincare tools offer deep cleaning in a two-function handshower. Relax with two spray types and a beauty tool with three speeds. Attachments include a body massager, face brush, body brush and body scrub.

Luxe Extras

For those with luxury homes and budgets, your choices run the gamut. If you aspire to have the latest aesthetic then color might just be in your future. Kohler’s Heritage Colors collection leads with bold nature-inspired greens. Choose from aspen green, teal, and fresh green with their latest addition to this popular collection. If a more neutral bathroom is your preference you may prefer the new matte white tubs and faucets.
