Complete Bathroom Design: 30 Floor Plans, Plus Fixtures, Surfaces, And Storage Ideas

by Holly Harrison, Holly Harrison

Bathrooms are no longer the most neglected, tiniest rooms in a home. Homeowners want bathrooms that are luxurious in terms of space and amenities; they want their bathroom to be a spa getaway they can escape to after a hectic workday. This explains why bathrooms are the most redesigned room in a home, after the kitchen. They are also the hardest room in a house to design. Every cubic foot of space counts. More importantly, owners want them to be functional as well as exquisitely beautiful. This book showcases a wide range of bathroom designs, from exacting floor plans down to the little details such as built-in storage and digitally controlled thermal shower jets. It is useful for both the do-it-yourselfer and the homeowner who wants to paint a clear picture for an architect or a builder. It also provides a full range of styles and options, detailed resource listings, and sidebars to help consumers with their decision making.

This was bought along with some other books for remodeling inspiration. Lovely eye candy with lots of sleek and modern baths featured and lots of great planning ideas though mostly not my style.

Are you a celebrity? Do you have a net worth of 50 million dollars? If so buy this book, otherwise this book is only for dreamers not logical minded people. I will give Holly Harrison credit for the fact that after she first addressed large bathrooms, rooms that are at least 4 times the size of any of mine, she then had a chapter on small bathrooms, which were all much bigger than mine and mine are not too small. What is it with Americans and huge bathrooms? Who wants to take a bath in one of those modern tubs in a huge drafty room? Sorry, but I didn't get any ideas from this book.
