How to Create a Sanctuary Around Your Luxury Massage Chair

It’s no secret that a luxury massage chair comes with a host of benefits. But what many people don’t know is that you can maximize those benefits by creating a private sanctuary around your chair. Not only will this make the experience more relaxing and indulgent, but it will also boost the positive impacts on your physical and mental health. 

What’s Better Than a Luxury Massage Chair?

When the physical and mental demands of a long day leave you feeling depleted, what’s better than a luxury massage chair to soothe the tension and renew your energy? Our answer: A luxury massage chair in a private, customized space where your selfcare is the primary focus.

At Wellis New England, we’ve seen how much the thoughtful preparation of a complete environment can elevate the physical and mental rewards of a massage chair. Here, we offer some tips on how to create your private sanctuary so you can sit back, relax, and let your luxury massage chair ease you into a refreshed sense of well-being. Specifically, you’ll want to consider the following in the design of your space:

• Decoration
• Lighting
• Sound Elements
• Scents

Decoration

One of the most important aspects of creating an inviting space for your massage chair is decoration. We recommend painting the room or area where it is located with soft colors that promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. Studies suggest that cool colors (i.e., blues and greens) tend to have the most calming effect. Neutral colors (e.g., taupe, cream, grey, etc.) are also popular choices because they’re evocative of nature.

A few decorative accessories can go a long way in composing a welcoming, restful space. Add soft, cozy textiles to the environment to help elevate the sense of comfort. Decorate the walls with hanging art that conveys tranquility. For a finishing touch, incorporate natural elements into your space like smooth river rocks or modest plants.

Lighting

The type of lighting you choose is critical for creating the perfect relaxation experience. You want to make sure that you have indirect, soft lighting that will help your body relax. In this category, salt lamps have become a popular fixture in spa spaces. 

Also, there is a vast market of lighting elements out there that provide color light therapy. Color light therapy (a.k.a., chromotherapy) is a feature that utilizes different colors and their associated frequencies to help promote physical and emotional well-being. It works by introducing wavelengths of colored light into the body which causes reactions in the cells, stimulating healing and relaxation. The range of colors can be adjusted depending on what mood or energy you are seeking, from deep relaxation to invigorated energy.

Sound Elements

Another element that can transform your luxury massage chair experience is sound and music. Choose soothing instrumental tracks, nature sounds, or white noise to play while you’re enjoying your massage, as this can help you drift into a deeper state of relaxation. 

Also, never underestimate the value of silence. While it’s good to have a library of sounds at the ready to help aid you into a relaxed state, it never hurts to see how intentional silence serves your practice as well.

Scents

The scent is a powerful component in any relaxation space. Adding just the right amount of fragrance to your private sanctuary will further promote feelings of relaxation and calmness while you enjoy your massage chair.  

Incense sticks, essential oil diffusers, and aromatherapy candles are excellent tools for enhancing the air surrounding you and your massage chair.
