Filled with practical tips and ingenious design ideas, this exquisitely illustrated volume is a complete guide to equipping and decorating the most functional room in the home. Every aspect of bathroom decor is covered, from the essentials (tub, shower, sink, toilet) to the fundamentals (mirrors, towel racks, storage cabinets) to the all-important incidentals (wall, floor, ceiling, and window treatments). Whether your ideal bathroom is a scrupulously hygenic, efficient space or a luxurious, pampering retreat - or a combination of the two - you'll find countless tips and suggestions for achieving optimal functionality and maximum style - at minimal cost. With Diane Berger's idea-packed text, Fritz von der Schulenburg's masterly photographs of bathrooms all over the world, including those of such legendary style-setters as the Duchess of Windsor, Karl Lagerfeld, and Rudolf Nureyev, and an international source directory, The Bathroom is indispensable for anyone who is building, renovating, or redecorating a bathroom.
