Synopsis
Design Ideas for Bathrooms presents the latest ideas for building or remodeling a bathroom. It contains almost 500 color photographs that show homeowners the latest styles of tubs and showers, sink, faucets, vanities, tile, stone, glass, and more.
Library Journal
Hillstrom (former editor in chief, House Beautiful Special Interest Publications) presents a huge amount of practical information on redesigning bathrooms and kitchens, the two rooms that can be the most costly to remodel. Bathrooms covers universal design considerations and the basics of master bath and half-bath layout, then focuses on bath and shower options that include tubs and fittings. Extensive information on surfaces like tile, stone, glass, concrete, synthetics, wood, and metal points to the advantages and disadvantages of each. Kitchens offers a similar wealth of information, on cabinets, surfaces, and major appliances such as cooktops, stoves, and refrigerators. A few projects, like refinishing a hardwood floor, suggest that other sources should be consulted before beginning, since so few instructions are given. Kitchens is similar to Susan Preen's Creating Your Dream Kitchen (see review, p. 62), with more photographs and choices provided here. Both books would make excellent purchases for public libraries.

I loved this book!by sally35

04/28/2009: I plan on eventually remodeling the master and regular bath plus installing a half bath. I have a normal size home with average size baths except master is fairly large. I can use this book for ideas on all. this book is able to capture every style and size I can think of. Not only can you just glance through and get amazing ideas, but you can read it in detail and learn more than you wanted to about baths. This book will help anyone who is looking to do a major renovation, budget facelift, or installing any size bathroom. The only thing I was not real happy about is that it goes into great detail on just about every aspect you can think of when it comes to designing and decorating the bath, including toilets. With 10 pages on bidets and toilets it does not talk about a rear discharge toilet and I was hoping for that because I need one for the 1/2 bath.
