Saunas are hot -- a hot home trend that is. Puns aside, steam rooms really are becoming more and more popular these days. Back in 2010, the Wall Street Journal found that many Americans were foregoing basements and closets to make room for this facility. It could be because we're all looking to de-stress and unwind easier at home, and what better way to do that than with a spa-like room to soothe your senses? If you're looking to add one of these to your house, we've rounded up 10 homes with saunas to help inspire your designs.

Sauna in the gym? Don't mind if we do.
Look at it, it's just calling you.
Hop right from the steam room into the shower and you're all set.
See how perfectly one of these fit in a bathroom?
A hidden room is great so you can enjoy it all to yourself.
This space has both form and function.
It's a whole spa right in your home.
Is this real life?
It's kind of small, but hey, we wouldn't complain.
A little window to the outside world is a nice touch.

Can't afford a sauna? Here are some other ways to de-stress your bathroom.

De-Stress Your Bathroom
Keep Your Go-To Products At Hand(01 of09)

Put your tried-and-true everyday basics in either a cup or bag that you can stow away when not needed. This will save you time when getting ready and keep the sink clean. Photo by FeatheredTar
Make Cleaning A Snap(02 of09)

Keep a few must-have cleaning products like Windex, Clorox disinfecting wipes and daily shower cleaner spray in the bathroom. This way, you won't have to haul your huge cleaning caddy in when you want to clean. Speaking of, to keep your Saturdays free from hours of deep cleaning, wipe down the sink and tub everyday and the room will always be good to go.Flickr photo by suavehouse113
Keep Reading Material In Order (03 of09)

OK, let's be real here and say that we all, at some point, bring magazines or books into the bathroom. Instead of placing them on the toilet tank or on the floor, acknowledge reality and either buy a magazine rack that can tuck next to the toilet or one that hangs on the door.

Toss Expired Products(04 of09)

If you're like us, you probably have a ton of accessories and products that you haven't used in years. To help streamline your life, go through those products regularly and toss anything you don't use. You'll be surprised to learn that things like razors, rubbing alcohol and loofahs have expiration dates. Photo by Shutterstock
Hide The Toilet Paper(05 of09)

Toilet paper isn't exactly the most glamorous thing in the world, but it's definitely a necessity. Instead of storing it outside of the bathroom where you can't get to it in a time of need, place it in a cute basket or bin. This way it looks pretty and it's always in reach.Photo by Basket Creations and Candles
Save The Guest Towels(06 of09)

Unless you're actually having guests over, why stress yourself out trying to make sure the special towels don't get ruined? Just put out the ones you actually use and store the others somewhere else.Photo by Shutterstock
Choose Soothing Colors(07 of09)

We love candles, but the last thing you want to worry about is knocking over a flame when stepping out of the tub. Instead, invest in oil diffusers. Photo by The Artful Hand Gallery
Corral Kids Toys(09 of09)

Listen, kids need to have fun in the bathroom too, but it doesn't mean you have to take a soak with a plastic tugboat. Simply gather all the kids' toys in a mesh bag or shelf to keep them tidy. Photo by plindberg
