20 Inspiring bathrooms that beautifully integrates lush gardens

Image
The current design trends reflect modern bathrooms that are more like retreats, an escape from the daily grind of busy lives and stressful careers. The best ones are designed with luxurious touches, such as soaking tubs, steam showers, integrated televisions with surround sound. Decadent materials adds to the overall elegant aesthetic, which includes rich woods , layered textures and earthy stones. If you could design your own dream bathroom, you might wish to include a way to integrate nature into your surroundings. This could be visually or literally, by the use of glass walls and sliding panels . You could surround yourself with lush gardens by placing a soaking tub on a deck, or set in front of bi- fold glass doors . There is nothing more soothing than admiring nature while soaking in a warm bath… very Zen. The sights and sounds of nature and fresh breezes will help not only help to de-stress, but will give you a vacation feeling. Have a look below at these 2o luminous bathr...

The legal fight over North Carolina’s transgender bathroom law, in 4 questions

On May 9, North Carolina Gov . Pat McCrory (R) and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced dueling lawsuits regarding HB2, a law that requires people to use public restrooms according to the sex they were assigned at birth, rather than the one they identify with. (Monica Akhtar/The Washington Post) From the moment North Carolina Gov . Pat McCrory (R) signed that  controversial bathroom bill into law, he pretty much guaranteed its content would end up in court. North Carolina became the first (and so far only) state to restrict where transgender people can use public bathrooms and locker rooms, and gay rights advocates almost immediately filed a lawsuit challenging the law's legality. Now the state is suing the government, and the government is suing the state. Basically, lawsuits all around. The federal government says the law violates federal civil rights laws and ordered  North Carolina to get rid of it. North Carolina GOP officials argue there's no law that ...

Your Home; Junior 4's And Other Puzzles

''It can be a one-bedroom unit with an L- shaped living room or a small den or alcove,'' Mr. Grancaric said. ''But I think that a true junior four is a one-bedroom with a room off the kitchen that was originally set up as a dining area, but that can be turned into a second sleeping area.'' Hopefully, the room has a closet.'' And junior two's and junior three's? ''In my opinion, a junior three is basically the same thing as a junior one with a closet in the sleeping area'' Mr. Grancaric said. ''I don't think a junior two exists.'' O.K., then; what's a half room? ''I would say a half room is any room that's not normal-sized,'' Mr. Grancaric said, adding that a ''normal-sized'' room would be one that is no smaller than say, 10 by 12 feet. A half bath? ''That would be a bathroom with just a toilet and a sink,'' he said. ''But if the bathroom h...

Inside the Evolving Hotel Bathroom

Image
Drew Shepard, senior director of consumer insights for Marriott Hotels , spends copious amounts of time listening to travelers: in 2010 and 2011 combined he interviewed more than 7,000 hotel guests in person or through surveys to inform the renovations now underway at Marriott. “The bathroom is a really important signal for a bunch of things,” he said. “You hope it’s a little aspirational, a little better than what you have at home. A little fun.” And it’s the little things, he said, that add up, which is why Marriott is not only renovating but also investing in things like thicker towels and a new amenity brand (from a Thai company called Thann ). It’s also considering — attention, fellow longhaired travelers — more powerful hair dryers . An internal study of more than 6,000 guests last year found that seven in 10 women use a hair dryer when at a Marriott and, when asked, everybody requested higher wattage . When it comes to bathroom light wattage , TrustYou said it’s not something ...

How long does a bathroom reno REALLY take and why?

Image
By Sarah Nolen I, like anyone, am a true fan of a great before & after makeover. And that’s exactly what reality TV has harnessed. The fact that you’re reading this article now assures me that you’ve been accustomed to fast- tracked renovation shows that are showcased every evening for our viewing pleasure. The reason why they show bathrooms completely stripped out and made afresh in only a few episodes is because there is no way on earth they’d maintain your attention if you were to sit through a real life renovation . For one, it takes a considerable amount of time and two, it would be boring. The real world of design and construction is a lot less drama filled, but hey that’s the power of reality TV, who are they going to fight with next? Keep in mind too that they also have a huge workforce on TV shows to speed up the process: double the carpenters, plumbers and electricians. This economically would not work in a typical domestic setting due to substantial additional costs ....

House Tour: A Clever Kids' Bedroom & Bathroom Makeover

Names: Finley (4-years-old) and Jackson (5 1/2 years old) Location: Seattle, Washington Room sizes: Bathroom - 47 square feet; Finley's Room - 100 square feet; Jackson's Room -130 square feet The adorable Finley and Jackson of Finley and Jackson's "Modern Shabby-Chic" Bedrooms & Playrooms are back with new and improved big kid bedrooms and bathroom. Their mom, Emily, had been thinking about adding a bathroom to the upper level of their home for years. The house—Emily and Kai's Thoughtful and Stunning Seattle Home —came with only 1.5 bathrooms when they purchased it six years ago, and the only shower/bathtub was in the master bathroom. Now that the kids are getting older (Finley is almost 4 years old and Jackson is 5 ½) and out of diapers, it's clear that they need their own bathroom. In order to add it, both bedrooms needed a new floor plan—this is what Emily came up with! Emily and Kai's home is a little over 1600 square feet, and there is...
