The Nirvana bathtub is a technological sound bathtub equipped with 360 LED lights on the surface to create the perfect bathroom mood while you soak in the tub. The Nirvana bathtub is touch controlled to tinker with the lights as well as the water. There is even a motion activated hand shower that only adds to the experience. It’s simple, sexy and soothing for anytime of the day (just in case you get into a starry mood in the morning!). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Touch-controlled Bathtubs:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create innovative, customizable bathtub experiences with touch-controlled features. - **Led-lit Bathtubs:** Potential for companies to incorporate LED lights into bathtub designs to enhance the ambiance and create a soothing mood. - **Motion-activated Showers:** Chance for shower manufacturers to develop motion-activated hand showers that enhance the bathing experience and add convenience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliance Industry:** Companies in the home appliance industry can explore opportunities to incorporate touch-controlled features and LED lights into bathtubs. - **Bathroom Fixture Industry:** Manufacturers in the bathroom fixture industry can innovate by creating LED-lit bathtubs that enhance the ambiance and appeal to consumers. - **Plumbing Industry:** Opportunity for the plumbing industry to develop motion-activated showers that offer a unique and convenient bathing experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Relaxation Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bathtub.md) - [AI-Enhanced Contemporary Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-and-co.md) - [Digital Bath Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-bot.md) - [Customizable Minimalist Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acquabella-noon-slate.md) - [Luxe Translucent Bathtubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusso-amore-freestanding-resin-bath.md) - [Sophisticated High-Design Bath Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soaking-tub.md) - [Rounded Hydromassage Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aretusa-tub-by-claudio-papa.md) - [Cedar Wood Soaking Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofuro-bathtub.md) - [Voice-Controlled Bath Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-perfectfill.md)
