Luxury homes - new build or remodel - include elements of wellness to enhance a healthy indoor atmosphere, exercise, relaxation, nutrition and calmness. Clean, minimalist design is a part of achieving the wellness experience at home. Soothing colors in bathroom spas and bedrooms help to create calmness. Bathroom spas continue to have room for a yoga mat, windows, plants and steam showers.
All home water filters and air purification are popular when wanting a healthy atmosphere. Indoor/outdoor exercise areas have replaced many gym memberships.
In the kitchen, nutrition wellness has given way to designing in steam ovens, herb gardens and storage for spices, fresh fruits and vegetables. Specialty appliances like Blast Chillers, wine storage units and vacuum sealers are gaining traction in luxury designs. Open floor layouts remain a request of many local residents to enhance family gatherings. Outdoor kitchens add another dimension to wellness at mealtime. The outdoors is soothing and can be therapeutic.
