Carving out a personal wellness space begins with acknowledging our homes as more than just physical structures; they are sanctuaries where we recharge, rejuvenate and ready ourselves to plunge back into life's every day grind. This is why dedicated wellness spaces such as meditation rooms, home gyms, and spa-like bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary homes. With growing stress as everyone's constant companion, thoughtful design can play an important role in fostering serenity and restoring balance. We reached out to some of India's best interior designers and architects to explore easy ways to incorporate wellbeing into your space.
