　　The bathroom is the new design frontier. In urban apartments

and at large secluded estates, adventurous home owners and the

nation’s top designers are breaking the old rules, using space and

materials in dramatic new ways and reimagining just what a bathroom

can be. No longer intended solely for utilitarian purposes, today’s

bathrooms are designed for everything from solitude to

accommodating the family to entertaining.

The Luxury Bathroom offers a tour of thirty-five state-of-the-art

spaces created by today’s top designers—among them Celerie Kemble,

Jamie Drake, and Miles Redd—in exclusive residences across the

country. From luxuriously equipped expanses worthy of Canyon Ranch

to a tiny Beaux Arts bathroom inspired by a gallery at New York’s

Metropolitan Museum of Art to a guest bath covered in leather

tiles, each room is unique and a rich source of inspiration and

aspiration.

Once the most purely functional of rooms, bathrooms today are

evolving into the most fanciful and sumptuous of living spaces. In

these pages you’ll discover a getaway oasis that brings the spa

vacation home, an unabashedly social space complete with wet bar

and fabulous upholstery, and a woman’s private sanctuary that is

the ultimate expression of contemporary femininity.

Not only delving into the details that make each room unique, but

also including humor and insight into how the spaces reflect the

owners’ lifestyle, taste, and vision, The Luxury Bathroom reveals a

surprising range of possibilities for reinventing this room, for

those of us who are ready to begin now or who are just dreaming

about doing so.

The phenomenal array of unique materials and the limitless

imagination of designers and builders have made bathrooms the new

design frontier. The space has become a nucleus of style and taste,

but perhaps it is most notable for seducing its owners to spend

time there. And, after all, what is more luxurious than time? With

the endless possibilities for what was once a boxed-in space, the

bathroom has become the Cinderella star of a fancy dress ball. And

so The Luxury Bathroom will inform and entertain as it celebrates

not just the bathroom, but really the imagination.
