There are two kinds of people in this world: people who wash, and people who bathe. If you're the latter, you probably know what I mean - whether you're taking a hot shower or a luxurious bubble bath, it isn't just about getting in, getting out, and getting clean. For bathers, the journey (the long soak, the relaxation) trumps the destination (merely getting clean) >>>...
There are a lot of luxuries, big and small, that you can cram into your bathroom. It's one of the easiest places in your home to indulge. From whirlpool tubs to custom showers, to elegant soaking tubs, there are a lot of fancy bathroom upgrades to help you get your relax-on >>>...
Thinking about buying a hot tub but worried about the weather? Sure, lounging in in a tub of hot water, watching the steam rise and the snow fall sounds pretty picturesque - but climbing out into the cold and making a run for the door isn't quite so fun! If you live in a cooler climate, or crave a little more privacy than an open back yard, an indoor hot tub might be right for you.
From a simple two person tub like this Whirlpool model to extravagant custom designs and one-of-a-kind art pieces, indoor hot tubs address many of the problems posed by more conventional outdoor ones. Indoor pools can be used year-round, regardless of outside temperature, and require less maintenance because they aren't exposed to the elements - or falling leaves!
In fact, an indoor hot tub can b >>>...
Many bathroom design trends are beginning to converge: bigger bathrooms, luxury master suites, an emphasis on simplicity and creature comfort. Taken together, they show a clear trend towards master bathrooms strongly influenced by spas and high end hotels. But even with the simple, open floor plan and emphasis on luxurious natural materials in mind, there are more than a few options when it comes to choosing the major fixtures for a spa style bathroom >>>...
Spa style bathrooms have become hugely popular in the past few years, and I'll be honest, I'm a big sucker for the style. These hotel-inspired bathrooms are all about relaxing, unwinding, and getting back to nature. They have a warm, inviting feeling, lots of natural light, and tactile elements that combine to create a lush, bright, open space >>>...
Spa style bathrooms have become more and more popular in recent years as homeowners attempt to recreate the open, airy, relaxed look and feel of bathrooms found in high-end hotels. But this design certainly isn't a cookie cutter one: while there are similar features you can point to (like the prevalence of open shelf bathroom vanities, stone tile, or steam showers), the real point of a spa style bathroom is to combine simple, sophisticated design with a relaxed, casual atmosphere. That's something you can do no matter where your design preference leans >>>...
Spa style master bathrooms have become hugely popular in recent years and are a great way to make a master bathroom that little bit more indulgent and relaxing. But while many of these bathrooms have a distinctly Nordic influence, lately homeowners have been looking farther east for inspiration. The simple, zen-like vibe of Asian inspired bathrooms meshes well with the trend toward natural, open bathroom spaces, but this style has its own distinct sense of elegance >>>...
Choosing a new lighting fixture can be a somewhat daunting process. Even if you have a good idea of the style or type of light you want, the sheer number of options available can be a tad overwhelming. A good way to start narrowing down your options is to look for brands that offer large collections of lighting fixtures in the same style >>>...
Big, luxurious, walk-in showers have become one of the most desirable features in bathroom design. They're convenient enough to use even if you have a busy schedule and scale remarkably well to the size of your bathroom and your budget. While the ideal you'll see on TV and in design magazines is a shower built to fit about five people, you can get the same steamy, decadent indulgence even in a small bathroom >>>...
Choosing the perfect vanity for a master bathroom is a bit of a balancing act. Of course you want the vanity to look good, but even more important is finding one that works well. After all, having two sinks and plenty of storage is a must for keeping the peace in many relationships, and unfortunately many vanities that focus solely on style do so at the expense of functionality >>>...
