For centuries, baths have been regarded as havens for rest and relaxation. From huge Roman ruins looming over hot springs to small wooden saunas dotting Finland's landscape to Japan's outdoor wooden soaking pools, baths, saunas, and spas have proven medicinal and spiritual value. Bathing Spaces celebrates the lasting traditions of the bath and beckons modern bathing areas to come out of their hidden spaces, since cutting-edge design is creating a "bathroom too chic to languish behind locked doors."

Encouraging you to draw the bath and let it spill into larger areas, Bathing Spaces displays bathrooms as "second living rooms" where you no longer hop in the shower but rather lounge, meditate, and even exercise. Offering new ideas for creating the perfect spacious retreat away from the bustling world, lighting, faucets, tubs, tiles, and layouts are all explored. Bathing Spaces does not confine all of its designs to four walls but dares to venture outside. Outdoor baths, rooftop showers, and large windows in front of the bath incorporate nature into the bathing experience. Straying from the elements of design, the ancient tradition of the scented bath is also explored as well as the daunting task of cleaning the bathroom. With lush full-color photos and running narrative from Ali Hanan, Bathing Spaces will inspire you to transform your bathing area into a room that will pamper your body as well as your soul. --Jenny Burritt The Midwest Book

Tells how to transform a bathroom into a beautiful area. This is packed with artistic photos and ideas.
