When was the last time you truly savoured a bath?

Most of us treat the showers like a pit stop—fast, efficient, and just enough to keep us going. But think about those blissful hotel staycations: you actually look forward to drawing a bath, dropping in a fizzy bath bomb, and maybe even lighting some candles.

Why should this ritual be reserved for special occasions? With a few clever upgrades, you can take your bathroom from functional to fabulous. Here's how to transform your routine into a moment of self-care.

PRO-TIP

AzerobactⓇplus by Antolini, available at Hafary Singapore, is the only treatment that keeps natural stone bacteria- and mold-free-ideal for a low-maintenance bathroom.
