MERLYN has published a new guide outlining how homeowners can create a spa-like bathroom for the winter months, focusing on warm lighting, natural materials and contemporary shower designs.
The guide explains how relatively simple changes can make bathrooms more comfortable during colder months, without requiring a complete renovation. Suggestions include warming the room before showering, using dimmable lighting, keeping surfaces clear and having warm towels and robes ready.
Design is also a key consideration, with frameless and virtually frameless shower enclosures helping to create a more open, light-filled space. Stone-effect shower trays, warm neutral colours and natural textures can add warmth, while concealed storage helps maintain a cleaner appearance.
MERLYN also highlights the role of walk-in showers and wetrooms in creating a hotel-style bathroom. Its ARYSTO collection includes frameless and sliding enclosure designs, with options such as the ARYSTO X, ARYSTO Ten and ARYSTO EIGHT. The ARYSTO STONE range offers low-profile, slip-resistant shower trays in four finishes.
The company’s advice is that a spa-like bathroom does not depend on size or budget. Lighting, materials and a more considered daily routine can all help create a calmer space, whether in a compact ensuite or a larger family bathroom.
The guide also encourages homeowners planning bathroom improvements for the new year to consider materials, finishes and layouts in advance.
