Designing Your Own Sauna

The most important aspect of building a home sauna is planning and knowing what you want. Saunas you must know, should be simple, spacious and clean before you start planning. In Finland as I’ve written before is a time for relaxation, reflection and some times mediation. My friends last sauna that they built her father placed simple small star like lights in the ceiling. It was nothing large or sparkly but it had a twilight affect and it enhanced the sauna by 50%.
Other features that made her new sauna nice was the use of two small windows as opposed to one large one. My favorite part of their first sauna at the new home was the aroma, which was subtle but it was there. Oftentimes, in saunas if the door is not kept open or no type of fresh enhancement is included, the smell of old wood and mold can occur.
