How to Turn Your Bathroom into a High-Tech, Spa-Like Experience

Matte black accents, wood vanities, and statement art have all made it to the list of the hottest bathroom trends of 2019. But the trend that trumps them all is perhaps those of home spa features.

In fact, most people view their bathrooms to be some kind of a safe haven or a recreational spa retreat. This way, they can quell all of their frustrations and stress by taking a nice soothing shower or a hot relaxing bath. And now, thanks to modern technology, we might see this becoming a reality.

The following is a list of all the coolest high-tech gadgets that will give your bathroom the most zen-like facelift that you’ll enjoy every day for the rest of your life:

1. A Programmable Shower

You can add this tablet-esque full-color digital touch screen that will make your bathroom feel more personalized than before. This device allows you to set up to 9 different “scenarios.” Its thermostatic valve alters water temperature from over four outlets; one standard, one overhead, and two wall streams.

The setup also lets you adjust volume levels from an audio device and lighting. If you usually hang around in the shower more than usual, you set configure the shower to a set amount of time and track the amount of water you consume.

2. High-Tech Faucets

There was once a time when the biggest tech for faucets was probably infrared sensors – which were used at malls and restaurants, but no more.

Besides infrared sensors, GROHE, and some other companies have introduced faucets with electronic timers that can be set up for specific tasks such as brushing teeth. What happens is that the tap runs for a couple of seconds as you’re wetting your brush. After that, it will shut down at your preconfigured time and then resume when you’re rinsing your brush and mouth.

3. A Bathtub That’s Also a Sound System

What could be better than chilling out in a tub of warm water than listening to your favorite music, news, or podcast after a stressful, long day at work? Nothing! And that’s why you should focus your sites on tubs that come with such features. And when the tub is empty, the sounds just vibrate all over your bathroom. Upon purchase, it already has four default compositions, including “Solitude” and “Transcendence.”

4. Fancy Toilets

Tech-operated toilets can do plenty of things, like keep your seat warm, save up on water, automatic water spritzing that prevents you from having to rely on paper, is able to clean itself and move the lid with a motion sensor.

The automatic water spritzing toilet will enable us to clean keep our hands clean from our “business” and save on tons of toilet paper. The higher-tech versions come with sensors that know when to clean our behind and our hands just so we don’t have to lift a finger.

There are also toilets that come with heated seats which are especially suited for those who live in cold climate regions.

5. LED Lighting

LED lighting is more eco-friendly than regular lighting as it uses less heat which saves on energy costs, has a longer lifespan and doesn’t have any toxic materials like mercury. Better than that is that a Chromatherapy shower includes LED lights that come with changing shade which allows you to witness soothing colors to rebalance and relax.

6. LED Temperature Control

If you want to really know which tap is cold and hot, then give the LED temperature device a whirl. It glows either red or blue which indicates water temperature. The level also makes it much easier to adjust temperature and pressure from one hand. What’s more, even the fluid appears very modern and comes with polished chrome and super-cool matte powder-coat finishes.
