And, again like a kitchen, bathrooms can be deal breakers if there are too few or they are outdated. So the success--and ultimate value--of a new bathroom depends on making the right choices when it comes to fixtures and finishes, bathing options, layout, and storage. Design Ideas for Bathrooms, Second Edition informs homeowners about the latest products and trends in bath design. In a market that offers an overwhelming selection, it's important to know what differentiates one product or finish, for example, from another, and how to choose what is best suited to your lifestyle, needs, and budget. Contains 500 photos that showcase the newest tubs, showers, fixtures, faucets--from no-frills to spa features. Includes more than 50 sample floor plans and layouts for master and family baths, three-quarter baths, and powder rooms. |
