Bathrooms continue to be the key element playing multifunctional roles in homes. Today’s bath space is a peaceful sanctuary with luxury touches. Wellness is one of the most important zones in the bath space – the other three areas being the basin area, shower area and the water closet area.

“For consumers with high-end lifestyles, the wellness segment has evolved significantly. From being a luxurious outsourced indulgence to a daily wellness regime out of home, wellness centres in residential townships and wellness zones (comprehensive range of products like whirlpool, spa, steam and sauna bath) in individual households are seeing a surge in demand. These wellness zones are not only restricted to dedicated bath spaces, but places like rooftops, kitchen gardens and even wellness centres as an extension of the house. These zones are often termed ‘wet-wellness’ among architects in India and across the world,” explains Sandeep Shukla, head Marketing & Communication – Global Operations, Jaquar Group.
