3. Type: Saunas can come in different types, including traditional Finnish saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, and combination saunas. The choice should be based on the preferences of the homeowner and the level of maintenance required.

4. Materials: Saunas can be made of different materials, such as wood, tiles, or glass. The materials chosen should be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, as well as durable and resistant to heat.

5. Heating system: The type of heating system chosen can affect the efficiency and cost of operating the sauna. Options include electric, gas, and wood-burning heaters.

6. Accessories: Accessories such as benches, lighting, music systems, and aromatherapy dispensers can enhance the sauna experience and should be chosen based on personal preference.

7. Budget: The cost of building a sauna can vary significantly depending on the size, materials, and accessories chosen. A realistic budget should be established before beginning the design process.
