Summary: The bathroom is probably one of the rooms that has changed most over a short period of time. Until fairly recently, it was a room that was regarded as unimportant and its organization and decoration was neglected. Nowadays, however, bathrooms have come into their own and are seen as indispensable focal points, not just spaces exclusively given over to personal hygiene. They have become veritable temples to pleasure and relaxation, where relaxing in a bubble-bath or a jacuzzi or working out in a small gym and reveling in the delight of feeling fit are the order of the day. Changes in habits and needs have helped to give bathrooms a starring role that until only recently was out of the question. This beautifully designed book examines the transformation of this room by presenting a brief overview of its history, evolution and stylistic features. Specific practical examples show readers how architects and interior decorators approach the design of the latest, most modern bathrooms.
