You’ve been thinking about adding a hot tub to your home. What you wouldn’t give to have this kind of luxury in your house. It’s a cool way to soak away the stresses of the world without having to go to a spa resort. However, hot tubs come with challenges as well as advantages. The best approach, therefore, is to plan how you’ll integrate your hot tub into your home before you have it built. Here are five ways you can seamlessly integrate a hot tub into your home.
1. Create Hidden Alcoves and Recesses
There’s something intriguing about houses with hidden spaces. They remind you a bit of a Dan Brown novel. It turns out that these recessed areas also help you to integrate your hot tub into your home space if you want the hot tub inside the house.

It can be integrated with other spa and sauna-type pieces. For example, Sunplay, a company that offers a range of pool and spa items, makes sauna rooms that resemble a wardrobe closet. (They’re made of natural wood.) Adding one of the saunas to a room that’s hidden behind a wardrobe would allow you to integrate the hidden alcove effect and create a whole spa room.
2. Get Good Ventilation
According to the Home Building website, one of the reasons why people don’t want to put their hot tub inside the house (like in the bathroom) is that they’re afraid of having the smell of pool chemicals in their house. A hot tub can be very visually integrated into the house and still stand out in an unpleasant way due to this.
When you’re building the spa area make sure that you set up the intended room with the vital extras that you need like extra ventilation, rough stone on the floors (to prevent slips and falls), and excellent plumbing. This holds true whether you create a room like the one above or if you just add a hot tub to your existing bathroom.
