Bath or Shower in Your Home Bathroom?
 Are you thinking of changing the layout of the bathroom at home? Are you debating whether to leave the bathtub or change to a shower or vice versa? Not to worry! From the Hotel Sevilla GreenSuites, we’ve put together an analysis of pros and cons of each of these elements to help you decide which is best for you. Read on for more details.   <h2>Adapting To Needs</h2>   When you’re making bathroom renovations at home, one large dilemma generally arises: Do we choose bathtub or shower? Sometimes the decision is clear and it’s essentially based on the amount of space available in the bathroom, when most opt for a standing shower only. However, when the bathroom is relatively large enough to accommodate a standard bathtub or a large shower, or even both, it is worth analysing the pros and cons of both options. In this case, using common sense is always best, taking into account the needs of the members of the household, the functionalities of each system, as well as the expense of water use.   As the years go by, our personal circumstances change and, therefore, so do our practical and daily needs. All of this is accelerated with children or any elderly family members at home. And, during the first years of a baby's care, a bathtub becomes almost indispensable, while with the care of an elderly person, a shower tray with a built-in seat would be the most suitable alternative for peace of mind. Taking all this into account, bathroom manufacturers have managed to create a combined option that includes bath and shower in the same system with features that bring the benefits of both elements together.   <h2>If We Combine Both…</h2>   Having a combined option in the bathroom, merging a bathtub and a shower, create a more complete aspect to the bathroom. One of the great advantages of this design is that the shower curtain or door can be opened outward or simply pulled to the side to comfortably enjoy the bathtub, if desired, in case we want to fill it to the brim in a long-awaited moment of relaxation at home. Sounds great!   <h2>Benefits of Having a bath</h2>   Bathrooms have changed considerably since their origins. Conceived in ancient times as public spas with varying temperatures, the bath has become a relatively frequent element in private spaces and, nowadays, it is related to personal and daily hygiene. However, if we have a bath at home, we should make the most of it, both as an element of daily hygiene and as a temple of relaxation whenever possible.   Almost privileged at home nowadays, baths are an ideal place to either recharge your batteries after a tiring day at work or start the weekend with a tribute to self-care. The truth is that we lead a frenetic pace of life and, sometimes, it is best to stop and rest, attending to your personal and physical needs. One way to achieve absolute calm is by filling the bathtub with warm water and enjoying some time alone, with background music if you feel like it, and letting your thoughts flow. An ideal plan if you’re looking for a break!   <h2>Benefits of Having a Shower Only</h2>   Water is a source of life, in every sense. In addition to being recommended for daily hydration with 2 litres of water to maintain balanced oxygen levels in our body, water also gives us energy and vitality in the form of a shower to start the day. It is an extra provision to start the day on the right foot, being clean and having clear ideas. For this, showers are ideal spaces if we are looking for a basic element for everyday use. Showers are also very relaxing, as are baths, but the format is different; they are shorter and help save more water.   When enjoying a shower, it’s important to take into account the temperature of the water. To enhance the value of a good shower, specialists advise to regulate the degrees starting with warm water and ending with cold water because it brings great benefits to the body. Among the recognised advantages, it moisturizes hair and skin better, tones muscles, hardens the epidermis when there is flaccidity or cellulite and notably reduces the sensation of tension or stress.

Decorating your home to brighten up the atmosphere and celebrate Christmas sounds wonderful, so take note of our recommendations to bring your rooms to life. What are you waiting for to get started?   <h2>Trends in Christmas decorations</h2>   Before we start with decoration ideas, we’ve detailed a few characteristics that best define decorative styles this time of year. Do you like bright colours and clearly defined shapes? Or are you more minimalist and prefer simple and warm decorations? Keep reading and find out more!   1.Full-colour decorations: Christmas is synonymous with joy and enthusiasm. Which makes brightly coloured decorations, traditional prints or natural motifs ideal. The best part? You can most likely reuse decorations that you already have at home and, therefore, create a warm and original atmosphere without the need to buy new ones.   2. Decorations for families with children: Younger family members can be the best helpers when it comes to making crafts. This way, we can also have them participate in a magical creative process and make special areas of the house with original decorations. Keep in mind, depending on age, we recommend using more easily created decorations and not necessarily those that are fragile and susceptible to breaking.   3. Rural-style decorations: If you have the opportunity to use natural materials, such as tree branches, fresh leaves, wooden boards or paper in brown and green tones, you will already have most of the decoration ready! Simply combine these materials in the way that best suits your home to create your own style. Tip: Adding real or fake candles is always a good option if you're looking for something a bit more cozy.   4. Nordic-style decorations: This style, with its minimalist character, is the undisputed protagonist when it comes to Christmas interior decoration. The combination between wood and glass or between candles and furry blankets is ideal for creating a comforting and Christmas-like atmosphere with white and grey tones.   <h2>Simple ideas for Christmas decorations</h2>   Once you have chosen the decorative style that best suits your personal taste, it is time to create some areas of your home where peace, joy and celebration go hand in hand to commemorate Christmas in its purest essence. Here are some simple ideas that you can prepare even with younger family members:   • Add lights and candles   Lights come in all shapes and sizes, and can be used to decorate almost any area of your home. Also, we recommend decorating with real or fake candles to give your home a warm touch during the winter season.   • Include details in red and green   From flowers to fabric bows, every detail in red and green is welcome at Christmastime. The key to choosing a good location is to first identify if the colours match your home furniture.   • Make a centrepiece   If you prefer more discreet Christmas decorations, you might want to consider simple centrepieces. Completely personalised with candles, reindeer, pine cones or maybe even a decorative wreath or a loaf of bread. With a good amount of imagination, you will only need to choose the pieces and place them in the centre of the table. It will be a real hit!   • Make your own Christmas tree   Would you like to create an original tree? It’s easy! Choose your favourite pictures and place them on a wall creating the shape of a tree. And voila! You will have a different and original tree from the rest that unite all your favourite memories in the space you choose.   Give your home a touch of personality this Christmas and prepare some of these Christmas decoration suggestions. And, if you do it as a team, the little ones at home will have a great time creating decorations!
