Bathroom wellness products are rising in popularity as people realize the benefits hydrotherapy can offer. KÄSCH is well versed in the art of modern and contemporary bathroom products that not only enhance your body and soul, but also your interior design visuals. The progressive "Overflow" collection of subterranean modern tubs recently won the RedDot Design Award and features, like the name would imply, a soothing waterfall overflow system that surrounds the user with the delicate sound of flowing water. As you can see there is a tub shape for every design scheme that can be surrounded in stone, wood, or a zen rock setting. If a more conventional freestanding type of tub for bathing is more you thing KÄSCH has you covered there as well. See the entire collection of modern bath tubs and wellness whirlpool tubs here.

I find this chair interesting and very similar to a Rubik's cube that is mixed up. This may be the most colorful chair in the world, but is one that is sure to challenge your senses. This chair is so "loud" that I cannot imagine any but the most contemporary and aggressive interior decorators trying to work it into a living room design. The chair was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson in 1953. I was not around at that time, but I imagine experimentation with color was the rage. I have to admit that you will not find it in my living room, but it makes for an interesting blog anecdote. Product information: here.

When it comes to shower head rain, this is where you can treat yourself to luxury. A close friend of mine was telling me how she wants to remodel her bathroom. She has been in her house for ten years and rarely uses her garden tub. Her plans are to rip out the garden tub and put in a luxury shower. Her reasoning was that the shower would get used all the time, whereas the garden tub sits idle. I was asked what I thought about her idea. Her concern was whether or not it would hurt her chances to sell the property in the future. I responded that my belief is that it will not hurt the chances to sell. Many people do not use their garden tubs that often. I did caution that the shower would have to be nice to win buyers over with the new bathroom concept. Though a garden tub is on our "mental checklist" of house needs, when you really think about it shower head rain in a luxury bathroom setting has its own appeal. Picture source: here.
