Splish Splash
By Roger BrooksWith contribution from Christopher Werner
Just 50 years ago, bathrooms were small, dark, unappreciated utility rooms. No more. Today’s bathrooms are retreats designed to melt away the stress of hectic lives. They’re bigger, brighter, and filled with pampering gadgets and stylish materials. None of those changes have garnered the bathroom the attention it deserves—even in our own magazine. So we’ve revisited every home we’ve featured in our pages to find the best bathrooms we neglected to show off. Each one leaves its owners feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day—if only so they can soak in the tub when it’s over. Pick and choose your own favorite features (use the resource guide on page 118) to turn your space into a spalike retreat.
