Design & Technology Trends: Home Shower & Bath

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Home shower and bath design has certainly come a long way since the good old days of bathing with a bucket in the backyard, or for the truly privileged, soaking in a tin tub stuffed into a closet with a door – you know, for privacy. Today’s stunning bathrooms have built on decades of innovation in the fields of design and technology; perhaps nowhere is this more evident than the shower and the bath. Homeowners today have a plethora of shower and bath options that they never could have dreamed of a decade ago, or in some instance, even a few short years ago. Among the top manufacturers, design has gotten so modern and sophisticated, and technology so advanced, that shower and bath options for the home can be of a quality that’s as high as those found in world class spas. So what specifically are some of the current trends in the world of home shower and bath?

Friday, May 7th, 2010

When you think of spas, showers, and baths you don’t think of an environment that is very friendly to modern technology. But, in fact, you can find a variety of consumer electronics that work perfectly in the spa and in wet conditions, and enable you to watch television, surf the web, make phone calls and listen to music. Here are a few waterproof devices that might enhance your spa experience.

New Virtual Spa Attendant

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Virtual Spa Attendant

In an era that delivers smart appliances that can be programmed to take notes, generate recipe ideas, calculate cooking times and heat food at warp speed, we are always amazed at what manufacturers are able to create to further the technology in the automated home. While many of the innovations have taken place in the kitchen, the bath is getting tech-savvy too.

In the kitchen where the demand for products that speed up the cooking process are created – in the bathroom, it’s all about slowing things down, relaxing and achieving a Zen-like state. Luxury steam shower manufacturer ThermaSol now has a Virtual Spa Attendant which confirms your selections via voice response. This feature now comes with their Serenity Light & Music System as it delivers the ultimate steam shower experience.

When you change a setting or select a new program you now have the option to be notified by your Virtual Spa Attendant. When you are adjusting the temperature of your steam shower, adjusting your music system’s volume, bass, treble, radio station or any other setting, you now have the ability to cycle through these settings with your eyes closed as your Virtual Spa Attendant announces your settings. If you prefer a candle lit steam or having the lights off while you enjoy your color therapy system you will no longer have to worry about turning the lights back on to change your settings as the spa attendant will speak to you to while you adjust your temperature and settings.  The Virtual Spa Attendant can also be programmed to give you voice-automated commands like, “Hot steam activated please be seated,” “10 minutes remaining,” or “Steam system is shutting down.”
