Leading trends in sensual worlds
I have done a check on what's out there on the Internet, and ... "Lebenswelt" is usually rendered as simply ... "world" - just place a qualifier of your choice there.
No matter which answer you go with, do not, repeat NOT, use "emotional" in English in this context. German "emotional" and English "emotional" are not identical in this context of yours. Therefore, I have opted for "sensual" (only a guess: they probably want to hint at the fact that their bathroom furnishings and interiors lend a sensual touch to one's bathroom).
I hope this works for you.

Comment: "I ended up using "Leading trends in sensual living", picturing a woman shaving her legs by candlelight in the bathtub. Since this was a PR piece for a company that manufactured bathroom furniture, it seemed to make the most sense.
thanks

ooshi has a pretty good idea there, but I believe that ooshi's suggestion is a bit too general - after all, your personal/private environment could be anywhere (on an island, in your backyard, or even your mind); it's not by definition your bathroom, or is it?
There was once a commercial for some mineral water "belebt die Sinne"; this would tie in with your ad. That's why I have gone with "sensual".

Maybe the idea is to keep it "deflected" from the bathroom subject, thus lending credence to the fact that people don't want to think of bathroom noises, etc when in their emotional Gilette-shaving, Nair leg-shaver world.
for what it's worth. It's a tough one.
"The very latest for your personal living space." Nothing seems to work, without just offering to do the advertising account for them. Recast, recast, recast.
