SYNOPSIS
Spa-like luxury bathrooms—the kind usually associated with four-star resorts—are becoming more prevalent in American homes. The popularity of resorts plus the increased emphasis on fitness and general well-being have fueled this interest in making the bathroom and home spa a more important space in the home.
Architects, designers, and manufacturers are responding to this surge of interest by offering a wide range of options for creating and outfitting the bath. From oversized stone bathtubs with faucets that resemble cascading waterfalls to steam rooms, saunas, and “smart toilets,” a properly outfitted bathroom can now cost the same as a BMW.
Featuring approximately 30 bathrooms, LUXURY BATHROOMS presents the latest in bathroom design. The book provides detailed information on the specific materials used as well as brand-name fixtures. What separates this book from similar titles is its inclusion of floor plans for each bathroom, providing homeowners and architects with a clear understanding as to how each of the bathrooms is laid out, facilitating their own planning.
The book first examines the individual components of the bathroom—tubs, showers, vanities and sinks—then presents complete bathrooms with all of the components in place, along with a floor plan.
