Wellness Bathrooms
A beautifully designed wellness space can transform everyday routines into moments of calm. Whether it’s a luxurious steam shower, a bespoke home sauna or a complete spa retreat, we design spaces that support relaxation, recovery and wellbeing.
At Pier1, we believe bathrooms have evolved beyond purely functional spaces. They have become places to slow down, recharge and reconnect. As more homeowners prioritise wellbeing at home, we’re helping clients create spa-inspired environments that support healthier daily routines, whether that’s unwinding in a calming steam shower after work, recovering in an infrared sauna, or enjoying the restorative benefits of a complete home wellness suite.
For us, wellness design is about creating spaces that enhance everyday living. A thoughtfully designed wellness room can offer a place to relax, reduce stress, aid post-exercise recovery and bring the feeling of a luxury hotel spa into your own home. It’s not about simply adding specialist products; it’s about carefully considering layout, lighting, temperature, acoustics, materials and atmosphere to create a space that genuinely improves how you feel, while adding lasting enjoyment and long-term value to your home.
What We Design
- Home Saunas
Traditional Finnish saunas, bespoke timber interiors, integrated lighting and sound. - Infrared Saunas
Lower temperatures, modern wellness routines, compact spaces. - Steam Rooms & Steam Showers
Luxury spa experiences suitable for both dedicated rooms and bathrooms. - Experience Showers
Rainfall, body jets, contrasting temperatures, aromatherapy and chromotherapy. - Cold Therapy

Bathrooms designed around wellbeing rather than simply bathing.
From ventilation, insulation and waterproofing to lighting design, acoustics, natural materials and discreetly integrated technology, we ensure each element works together in harmony. We also coordinate closely with your installer to ensure every technical requirement is planned from the outset, resulting in a wellness space that is as beautifully engineered as it is beautifully designed.
Brands We Work With
-
What's the difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna?
-
A traditional sauna heats the air to high temperatures using a heater and stones, while an infrared sauna uses infrared panels to warm the body directly at lower temperatures. Both offer a relaxing wellness experience, with the right choice depending on your personal preference and lifestyle.
-
Can I install a sauna in a normal bathroom?
-
Yes. Many modern saunas are designed to fit within a bathroom or adjoining space. We’ll assess your layout, ventilation and available space to determine the most suitable solution.
-
Do I need planning permission for a home sauna?
-
In most cases, indoor home saunas do not require planning permission. However, building regulations and electrical requirements may apply, particularly for larger or bespoke installations.
-
How much space is needed for a steam room?
-
Steam rooms can be designed for a wide range of spaces, from compact steam showers to dedicated wellness rooms. We’ll help you maximise the available space while ensuring the room performs efficiently.
-
Can a steam shower replace a normal shower?
-
Absolutely. A steam shower functions as a standard shower for everyday use while offering the added benefit of a luxurious steam experience whenever you choose.
-
What is an experience shower?
-
An experience shower combines features such as rainfall, body jets, varying water temperatures, ambient lighting and sometimes aromatherapy to create an immersive, spa-like experience.
-
What brands do you recommend?
-
We work with trusted premium wellness brands including Effe, Tylö and Steamist, selecting the most suitable products based on your space, design aspirations and budget.
-
How much does a home wellness room cost?
-
Every project is unique. Costs vary depending on the products, size of the space and level of specification. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your requirements and provide a tailored design and quotation.
-
Can wellness products be added during a renovation?
-
Yes. A bathroom renovation is often the ideal opportunity to incorporate wellness features, as electrical, plumbing and ventilation requirements can be planned from the outset.
-
What electrical and ventilation requirements are needed?
-
Requirements vary depending on the products you choose. Most wellness installations require dedicated electrical supplies and carefully designed ventilation to ensure safe, efficient and long-lasting performance. We coordinate these technical requirements with your installer as part of the design process.
