Relaxation Station

Minimalism is key at Root Remedies. This Malaysian-born brand’s products are all about being natural and intentional, which is the same philosophy that has been brought into the Root Remedies hair care and body care line. The Clary Sage and Lemongrass Hair Wash is a suitable product for all hair types, including oily and dandruff-prone hair. Made from coconut oil and a blend of clary sage, lemongrass and rosemary essential oils, this foaming soap cleanses the scalp and hair, leaving it softer, smoother and volumized. The Pomegranate Hair and Scalp Treatment Oil is an add-on that will bolster hair health. Having a great hair day may improve your mood, so check out Root Remedies’ hair care product as an addition for your bathroom.

Don’t forget to care for the rest of your body. The Litsea and Black Pepper Body Wash sounds intense, but it’s actually an earthy and citrusy blend that is stimulating but also comforting. Made from the finest coconut oil and olive oil, it gently cleanses and is suitable for all skin types. The Lime and Patchouli Hand Wash is another great addition to any bathroom as it will gently but efficiently clean your hands while leaving a uniquely refreshing scent. It’ll also leave your hands feeling moisturized and soft.

Scents are a big part of the human experience. Most people will also know that the scent of a bathroom is important to one’s experience in that space. A pleasant-smelling bathroom can lift your spirits. To do so, consider using the natural scents from Hyang, another Malaysian brand. Hyang offers luxurious aromas meticulously handpicked from nature. Their gorgeous scents will help create a little paradise for you to escape into. They also offer a unique natural device to diffuse them.

Hyang believes most traditional scenting products use synthetic fragrances, which can be damaging to your body when breathe in on a daily basis. That’s what this brand is extremely conscious of their use of ingredients. Using non-toxic, all-natural and 100% pure essential oils, Hyang is dedicated to craft aromas to surround you with exceptional olfactory quality.

Each person will gravitate towards a different scent, but Guilty Pleasure and Barely Legal are two particularly sensual scents for you to enjoy. Their natural Glacier Diffusing Stone is perfect as a decorative piece but obviously functions as a lovely scenting device.

Arguably, every bathroom should incorporate a little bit of greenery to give it a sense of life. If you’re someone who doesn’t have the time to constantly maintain your plants, though, it might be a challenge. Consider the Dóro Treeó as your saviour. These lush little succulents are so lush and adorable. They’re a small form of decoration, and you might even think that it’s too gorgeous to leave in your bathroom. You can certainly move these small planters around your home as you please, but they definitely look wonderful sitting in the bathroom too. After all, the visual aesthetics in the bathroom is as important as anywhere else in the home. Sometimes, you need to treat yourself just as kindly as you might treat a guest in your home and give yourself a little visual delight, even if no one else can see it.

If you’re looking for a slightly bigger plant, the Mini Money Tree is a good option. It’s fitted with natural solid wood planters, just like with the Treeó, and it’s suitable for indoor spaces. Money trees are also natural air purifiers and resemble good fortune and wealth. It’s a great gift for yourself – or for others, if you feel so inclined to give the gift of giving!

By the way, if the bathroom is a sacred place to you, you should take great care to furnish it appropriately – check out our special bathroom section on page 80 for a more detailed glimpse into the beautiful world of designer bathrooms.

Continuing on the theme of scents, you can also enjoy a beautiful scent while treating your ears to a gentle crackle from the fire – that’s right, a candle. Anbo is a homegrown brand that is known for their beeswax candles that are presented in a lovely concrete vessel that gives it an organic vibe. These candles also come with wooden wicks, which means that upon lighting the candles, it will start to produce a soft, calming crackle. All of Anbo’s candles are hand-crafted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and uses only natural ingredients to allow for a clean burn and powerful scent throw. The unique vessels are definitely a selling point but let’s not forget about the scent itself.
