5 SPA Design Trends

Spa design philosophies are renewed from time to time to make the atmosphere more relaxing and calming.

Recently with healthy living style becoming the “new fortune”, its effects on design trends acquired an important role in design philosophy. Let’s discover new dynamics in your spiritual and physical journey by analyzing these new spa trends? 

1) JAPANDI

“Japandi” is one of the most known trends in the spa design world of today. This interior design style joins Scandinavian minimalism and Japan’s Zen culture in one and makes you feel at home by providing a minimalistic, healthy and clean environment wanting to give you the comfort of your home. Japandi also draws inspiration from the wabi-sabi philosophy which is about accepting temporality and flaws. Earth colors used in the design are amongst the most effective details that create a warm atmosphere and a Zen aura. Similarly, using crude objects such as rattan, bamboo, wood, soft linen contributes to tranquility of the ambiance. 

2) SPA INSIDE A SPA 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, inevitably we started needing more personal space in spas. Therefore, it makes it much more important to have smart design details in spa designs. It is pretty ideal for providing private areas such as personal or group spa gardens, hydro pool, gym, sauna and steam room located in a large spa garden created using smart space design philosophy. Creating micro or capsule spaces in accordance with the size of the group and the width of the spa space, attracts visitors and redefines the privacy line of the new spa designs. 

3) CONNECTION WITH NATURE 

Since the restrictions of the pandemic began, we all long for a deeper emotional bond with nature. For this reason, the main focus of today’s healthy living space designs goes through creating a space that is holistically appealing both for our body and mind and at the same time, looks aesthetic. At this point, the usage of rich textures, colors, and patterns that reflect the natural world in modern healthy living spaces stands out. Among the most popular themes are spa designs that have been acknowledged as flawed and blended with nature in accordance with the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy.

4) THE POWER OF COLORS 

The ultimate aim of any design trend is to create a spa interior that is both neutral and calming. At this point, keeping the color scheme neutral, making use of natural Stones and shades of gold are usually seen as elements that give life to spa centers. Color shades identified by global color authority Pantone in 2021, such as ‘Sunshine Yellow’ and ‘Rock Gray’ send messages of strength and trust with the joy of coming days. Accordingly, the number of spa centers that are switching to natural color palettes is increasing. You can observe a switch into colors such as soft green instead of blue mosaics for swimming and spa pools or a dark slate blue, which reflects sunlight rather dramatically. 

5) ORGANIC FORMS 

The curved and soft facing forms that stand out as a strong theme in the spa design prove that organic forms are on the rise. Curved organic pools with round lines, arcuated couches or organic sauna designs with soft details are of great support when it comes to making our spa experience calming and embracing. Spa design trends renew themselves in accordance with our ever changing lifestyles and perspective on life to create a rich and inviting spa experience.
