Today’s Bath design by bath designer Cheryl Kees Clendenon of In Detail Kitchen and Bath.
When 5 ft. by 9 ft. was an average-sized bath, even for the masters of the house, the one real cabinet in the bath was a 30-in. high rectangle about 16 in. to 20 in. deep and 36 in. to 72 in. long—the vanity. Oh how times have changed.
There has been a quiet revolution in bath ventilation fans over the years—literally. Although fans work much the same way as they have for more than 50 years, today’s fans have several features that make them quieter, smarter and less obtrusive.
If you are still relying on the shelf-and-pole assembly in the closets in your home, there are several new options that maximize and customize your storage space.
Bathrooms in the past typically relied on a small, sliding window for light for fear of losing privacy. Privacy is still important, but today’s master suites simply need more light than baths in the past.
Water closets and their featured fixture—the toilet—don’t get a lot of attention when advice is handed out on picking out products for the bath. Although Americans are a bit shy about discussing this topic, there are some valuable tips that will help you purchase a toilet that you’re happy with for years to come and locate it in a new or remodeled bath.
Call them spas, whirlpools, or jetted tubs; but what you’re describing is a bath tub that offers hydrotherapy—everything from just a good warm soak to the caress of air and the massage of circulating water. Although tubs that fit this description have been around for a couple of decades, the best of today’s hydrotherapy tubs combine comfort and cleanliness.
