Want to create your own kingdom of pleasures,where you can forget about everything in the world and truly relax? Then you definitely can't do without a spa! And you don't have to go anywhere, because you can even arrange it at home The customers are a Muscovite family with two children (a girl and a boy), all big fans of a healthy lifestyle in general and baths and spas in particular. They see life outside the city as a way to restore strength after a hard work week in the metropolis. That is why the idea was born to build not only a country house, but also to plan the construction of a spa center, and as a separate building. Designer Zhenya Zhdanova brought this interesting idea to life, and this is what came of it. Zhenya Zhdanova, designer, decorator Creator of the online interior boutique DivaDecor.

Customers' wishes
Initially this structure was consideredcustomers only as a sauna with a swimming pool. But in the process of working on the project, a more successful solution was born, including a space for rest and complete relaxation with an abundance of opportunities that the spa industry can offer today. Moreover, the area of the building made it possible to accommodate various zones not only for relaxation, but also for beauty treatments. By the way, the construction of the building took about a year, and finishing work and decorative design lasted about another year. Zhenya Zhdanova, designer, decorator: - The main direction of the interior of this spa center was set by the chic of the interiors of the East. Intricate patterns and ornaments, materials with various textures, such as carving, teak flooring, mosaics and textured tiles - all of them make you hold your breath and simply beckon to touch themselves, and then look at them for a long time. divadecor.ru
What is a home spa like?
Relaxation can be found in this home spaany taste. Those who prefer quiet relaxation will be able to enjoy swimming in a five-meter pool with a waterfall and underwater hydromassage, or take a steam bath in a hammam, sitting on benches made of exquisite white marble. Exotic lovers will appreciate the Japanese ofuro bath, consisting of an oak barrel for two. And where would a broad Russian soul be without the legendary Russian bath, where you can go straight from the heat of a wood-burning stove outside and jump into a snowdrift, or douse yourself with cold water from a bucket for dousing in the shower area! A rest room, which is available as neededbecomes a massage area, decorated with exquisite textiles and a window with a unique design. Here you can relax during a massage from a spa therapist, inhaling the enchanting aromas of essential oils and enjoying pleasant music. A comfortable sofa from the Italian factory Mito 1964 and a wonderful carved panel on the golden wall are perfectly placed in the relaxation area, where you can sit with a cup of delicious and aromatic tea. The main front area features carved benches and an oak table. A small but very roomy kitchen with oak fronts complements the harmony that has developed in this realm of relaxation. Zhenya Zhdanova, designer, decorator:— There are also a number of functional rooms where bath accessories are stored — towels, robes, slippers, as well as everything necessary for spa rituals — oak, birch and spruce brooms, oils, creams, peelings, masks, aroma diffusers, candles. All engineering services are carried out in the basement, where the pool equipment, ventilation and air conditioning systems, plumbing and cleaning equipment are located.
Eastern fairy tale
The main patterns for the carving of the panels were inspired bytraditional Moroccan motifs. The oriental flavor in the carving undoubtedly gives aesthetic pleasure during the day, but at night, when the light penetrates outside, the spectacle becomes even more incredible, exciting and truly magical. The designer furniture and all the carved details were made to order according to Zhenya Zhdanova's sketches. A whole team of carvers worked on them for more than six months, but it was worth it. Huge panels with ornaments, kitchen facades, table supports and bench legs look simply amazing, as well as many other things. Of course, the cost of hand carving is not a cheap pleasure, however, the budget is quite comparable with the cost of purchasing branded furniture at the prices of Moscow suppliers. Noble finishing, attention to detail and an abundance of textured solutions complement this wonderful atmosphere, making it complete and conducive to absolute relaxation in complete detachment from worldly problems. Here, every part of the body can experience the comfort, touch and other delights of an amazing home spa.
How to Set Up a Spa at Home
If it is not possible to move the bath and spa area outseparate building, you can place a spa area in the house. It is important to provide for all the necessary utilities in advance, it is especially important to think through the ventilation. Zhenya Zhdanova, designer: - More than once I have designed spa areas in houses and cottages in basements and semi-basements with an area of 15-18 square meters. And there I managed to place a comfortable steam room, an ofuro barrel, a shower area, a relaxation area, and even a massage table. If you are a fan of the bathhouse, you can always find a solution for organizing a spa space. Marina Pershina, divadecor.ru, zhenya-zhdanova.livejournal.com, Olga Melekestseva, Alexander Mamet
