The lockdown due to the COVID-19 health emergency, has forced us to spend the days in our homes, some connected in the “smart working” mode and others in “house chores" mode.

In this tough and painful moment, #stayathome doesn’t simply mean respecting the rules, but also giving ourselves the opportunity to indulge in those simple activities, alone or with our family, that too often this hectic life leads us to neglect. We could almost call it, in some ways, a rediscovery of ourselves.

Although forcedly and with great concern for the working future, this situation is leading all of us to relive the house in a more critical way, reorganizing the spaces and re-evaluating the environments practicality. This depends on the desire and on the need of remaining mentally and physically active, ready to restart. The will to stay in shape, for example, has highlighted the need to design a space dedicated to fitness, a space though that is not always present in our homes.

Still with regard to the ongoing reevaluation of our home spaces, let’s think about for example, of how the role of the bathroom is radically turning itself, from just being a functional place dedicated to daily hygiene actions, to a space in which “taking care of oneself ”is assuming  a more holistic connotation.

In fact, to satisfy every taste and need, the bathroom is covered in colors and finishes with an innovative design, and becomes a place where to experiment from the design and creative concepts standpoint.

An example is offered by the famous Italian company Scavolini, point of reference in the home furnishings sector, which has launched a new concept dedicated to the bathroom called GYM SPACE.

What am I talking about? GYM SPACE is a project that integrates bathroom furnishings, dedicated to personal care, to a gym system to keep you in shape at all hours of the day. These are compact fitness corners, suitable for any type of space, able to combine factors that have always been important in the field of design, aesthetics and functionality.

Let's get influenced by the good habits of a healthy life and let’s keep them over time, even when all this is over! For a life in harmony with ourselves and with those around us.
