I LOVE this book! What the author does is show you how your bathroom isn't just a room with a bath, it's really an extension of your whole personality and the feeling of your home. She shows you how to make your bathroom really warm and inviting and USEFUL! Whether you want it to be your personal zen escape, a child's play space, a grown up's retreat, etc. The images are lush and luxurious, but there's definitely something to take away as cheap-and-chic inspiration at every price level. J'adore! If you're renovating your bathroom, this is a great place to start for ideas. A must!

The Luxury Bathroom is a beautiful book: the images are stunningly shot, the projects are diverse, and the text is thorough and thoughtful. It is as relaxing to peruse as the bathrooms it showcases; it is a book I will return to again and again.

There was nothing luxury about these bathrooms; there was very little inspiration to be found and none of the rooms seemed luxurious or extravagant. Most were very modern and being in the luxury design business I can you tell you the fittings (taps) featured were moderately priced mass market items. Luxury does not necessarily demand a big expenditure, but I had hoped for tasteful, creative ideas instead of the designs any one of my interns could produce within their first month of employment. Don't waste your money.

Many great ideas from some of the country's most inspirational designers. A terrific resource for anyone considering a bathroom design.

A FABULOUS book! Full of gorgeous images and wonderful details - it is truly inspirational and covers an incredible range of styles! I highly recommend it, you don't need to be renovating your bathroom to be inspired by this book.

This is one of the best bathroom books I have seen in the last 20 years. This book has quality printing and the rooms are high-end that provide great ideas.

The book also provides many different styles of rooms from simple to more formal

This book has beautiful pictures of bathrooms you might find in multi-million dollar houses. I doubt you would find 99% of these bathrooms in any house under 7 figures. Also, unless you can create something simply from looking at a picture, forget it. That's like saying I could recreate a great painting simply from having seen it, I don't think so. There are no material lists, planning ideas, etc.
So if you just want a book with pretty pictures, this is the one for you. If you want a book that will actually help create and design a bathroom, keep looking.

Most of the bathrooms pictures seemed very "cold" to me. I would have appreciated a more eclectic range of styles in the book.

This is a truly fantastic book. We are planning on renovating our bathrooms this winter. I had no idea which way to go with my ideas. My sister bought me this book and everything became so clear.
This book has it all. Elegance and sophistication with a sense of humor.

Pretty Cover page, but the pictures of the bathrooms were nothing unique or spectacular. Many other interior books that have better pictures.
