FROM THE PUBLISHER

Abounding with breathtaking full-color photographs and informative text, Bathrooms is an invaluable guide to transforming these highly utilitarian room into exquisite retreats. Small Spaces: Discover valuable tricks for fitting a wealth of amenities into a tiny space; defy actual dimensions by creating the illusion of spaciousness; and explore design ideas that make big impacts in small spaces. Style: Included here is a wide variety of styles and moods, from a highly contemporary bathroom with a three-dimensional sculpture that acts as a shower curtain to a country-style setting, with a floral- patterned sink skirt, coordinating drapes, and fresh flowers. Color: Color can be just as important as the style of a bathroom's fixtures and accessories in setting a mood. Create a classic look with a clean, crisp all-white bathroom; establish a sophisticated tone with striking black accents; or jazz up a child's bathroom with a wild mix of primary colors. Spalike Retreats: Indulge in the pleasures of pampering amenities while situated in the midst of exquisite surroundings. A marble whirlpool bath, his and her vanities, showers with multiple water effects, dressing areas, and even televisions and stereos are all elements that add luxury to the bathroom environment.
