Bathrooms Plan/Remodel/Build

Bathrooms, whatever their style -- contemporary, classic, unconventional, or rustic -- have become full-fledged rooms in their own right. The most private of private rooms. In the 19th century, dressing tables were part of the bedroom. Today, more often than not, it is the bedroom that encroaches upon the bathroom -- with sofas, pictures on the walls, wood paneling, and even wall hangings. The truly original among us turn our bathrooms into showpieces of our offbeat tastes. Lovers of things contemporary can have a field day with minimalism, in pursuit of materials that are at once raw and refined. This little book is not solely intended to make you dream big. Rather, our hope is that readers will find an idea they can borrow on each and every page. In fact, Elle Decor Bathrooms is filled with ideas. Need some inspiration for sprucing up your shower or breathing new life into your sink and its surroundings? Well, look no further. This book breezes through some of the most dynamic and best conceived bathrooms in Paris, Manhattan, London and everywhere in between. You will be able to learn from designers such as Philippe Starck and Jacques Garcia while peeking in on bathrooms in the homes of Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent. Helpful addresses and contact information provided then enables you to bring the ideas on the pages of this book into your own home.
