Spa Trends of 2022

Check out some of the latest trends in the spa industry and how Hollman lockers can help you achieve it.

When clients come to a spa, they vision a getaway place to relax and get pampered. While the services offered are crucial for clients, the environment is a significant factor in whether people decide to choose your spa for its service.

Creating an environment for your clients will attract new members and will drive retention rates up. Through color and design, décor can be an extension of your brand. With Hollman, design lockers that compliment your space while providing the necessary storage for your member’s personal.

TRENDING SPA STYLES

BOHO:

The look/concept: Browns, burgundy, white, and tan everything. Boho has popularly involved cacti and desert-type vibes, including items like fuzzy white rugs, gold accents shown through lighting and art pieces, and natural wood. The boho-chic style is notorious for having neutral or earth tones with a free-flowing design. 

GARDEN:

The look/concept: Bringing the outdoors in with nature-inspired designs and decorations. Natural wood, green tones with biophilic design accents. Connecting with nature has been a trend in wellness for years and members will appreciate spas that embrace the great outdoors.

MINIMALIST:

The look/concept: Clean lines, monochromatic tones, neutrals, and simplicity. The style is truly “minimal” keeping rooms open, with lots of lighting, allowing accent pieces or lockers to be the focus of the room. 

Today’s spa are more than retreat spaces, thanks to health trends and customers who demand more for their membership dollar. See how Hollman can help you create a locker room that is functional, attractive, and above the competition.
