Synopsis

Chock-filled with inspiring photos, this exquisite guide covers all the options available to someone planning to renovate or build a custom bathroom. In addition to providing advice on budgets and working with contractors and designers, it also presents House Beautiful’s favorite ideas on surfaces, storage, fixtures, and fittings. The choices range from scene-stealing tubs in unusual shapes to an elaborate Body Spa system with ten water jets that combine whirlpool action with hydro-massage. See how a splash of color gives a vintage bath a new lease on life; how creamy concrete surfaces can create a look that’s both modern and elegant; how his-and-her sinks make the morning rush more manageable; and how acrylic block panels allow in light without sacrificing privacy. Style Notes” throughout provide important tips and additional information.

About this title

From Booklist:

To find your style, most design magazines and books advise leafing through print publications, designating looks and styles that you prefer. Stop--and save money on decor. Because under one book spine are all the photographs and room settings necessary to pick the right look, thanks to careful pruning by House Beautiful editors. The actual advice is a bit on the lightweight side, though it does cover the right subjects: working with professionals, designers, architects, contractors, bids and contracts, budgeting and finance. Sidebars, called "Style Notes," add practical information, from counsel on fixture choices to a plug for molding, among others. Yet the stand-out attraction, without doubt, is the many different visuals to drool over. Barbara Jacobs
