It’s more important than ever! 120 years ago, less than ten percent of the population had a space to wash in. Having your own bathroom was a real luxury in those days. People used to wash in the kitchen, then in the laundry room, outside or in public baths. The hygienic, functional bathroom was democratised in the 20th century. Almost everyone had a bathroom they could wash in. What is striking and becoming ever more apparent is that since the 1980s, people have needed a space to regenerate in, as exemplified by everything from the Fitness fad to today’s Wellness boom. People look for these spaces on holiday, in yoga classes, or at spas. There’s growing demand for places to retreat into. Places to seek refuge from stress, hyper-mobility, the virtual world, and modern life in general. That is something the bathroom is increasingly able to offer.
