4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book, but not necessarily useful for design ideas, January 19, 2005

This review is from: Contemporary Asian Bathrooms (Contemporary Asian Home Series) (Hardcover)

This is an undeniably beautiful coffee table book, which shows plenty of photos for bathroom design in Asian countries (Japan, China, Thailand, etc). If what you want is an overview demonstrating how gorgeous a bathroom can be, given an unlimited budget and (often) a lot of space, then you'll probably find this a five-star book.

That wasn't what I was hoping for, however, so I'm personaly a little disappointed. First, when you can buy the finest (such as lots of marble) then it's easy to create something beautiful. For my purposes... as a new homeowner, I've been considering doing one of my bathrooms with an Asian theme. This book didn't give me much in the way of ideas for that. On the other hand, it's so pretty that I don't really mind.

I bought all the Contemporary Asian Books Series and all of them were great. My primary purpose is to get new design ideas and this book delivers it well with impressive photography and good selections!
