Heathy & Organic Spas

Posted on September 13, 2009

Thinking of building a green spa, salon or health center? Start here!

A successful spa design begins with exploration and collaboration between the interior designer and the project owner. No matter if you are planning an express spa, day spa, wellness and/ or nutritional + fitness spa, medi-spa, nail spa, salon spa or dental spa you likely want your clients to be taken away with clean and calm the minute they walk through your doors.

Luxury, privacy and comfort are the essential ingredients to any spa. A green or organic spa will go beyond creating physical beauty in the space and seek materials and practices that promote health and well being.

Earth friendly finish materials are critical to ensuring healthy indoor air! A Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited interior designer will be able to recommend finishes and materials that are free of harsh chemicals and should avoid synthetic furnishings and fixtures (like plastic) whenever possible. Lighting and day lighting should be given careful consideration to provide the most pleasant guest experience and reduce energy use.

Los Angeles based interior designer and LEED AP, Sarah Barnard specializes in green and healthy interior design.
