Bathrooms are a focus feature of the 21st-century home, and where space allows, there is usually more than one. The most desirable configuration is an en suite shower room—a streamlined space for a quick and efficient cleanse, as well as a larger, more luxurious room with a bath and possibly a steam enclosure. Top stylist Vinny Lee (Zen Interiors, Kitchens: A Design Sourcebook) shows that it is no longer just the bath-versus-shower option that needs to be considered—there is an increasingly diverse range of ancillary options. Saunas, spa baths, body-jet showers, environmentally modified systems, and mood lighting are just a few of the vast array of fixtures and ideas that she explores. She also looks at the vast array of materials now available for those all-important finishing touches. Enhanced with 250 color photos, Bathrooms is an outstanding source of ideas and advice for anyone looking to renovate an existing bathroom or planning to build a new one.
