These are all designer bathrooms. they are mostly (all?) european. Every bathroom is elegant. Every bathroom is different.

Sourcing is very light and a lot of the work is custom ($$$), but there is a list of designer websites at the end.

I'm using these ultimate books to communicate to my architects what kinds of things I want, not as a guide to which kind of kohler fixtures to buy. It's ideal for my use, less useful as a fixture buying guide.

Buying this book I was looking for some ideas to decorate my bathrooms. I did not find a single one in the book. This book is for those who like minimalism.
