These days, the value of the bath as a haven increases exponentially . Of course water becomes critical to creating a spa-like space that promotes relaxation, and that means showers and tubs take center stage. With shower systems and soaking tubs, there’s no question that people like plenty of water to wash away their cares and stresses. But at the same time, the green trend that promotes water and energy conservation is also impacting design and product trends . With two seemingly disparate trends at play, there’s some debate about what consumers want. “It’s about wellness and rejuvenation,” says Mike Reffner, group product manager for Moen, in North Olmsted, OH. “Consumers [want] an experience that’s spa-like – a bath experience that is a mini-escape.” Lars Christensen, senior product manager for Hansgrohe, in Alpharetta, GA, says that “gree...
