Bathroom design gets spa-like turn

“ W e believe that people can transform their lives through how they engage with water,” says Ken Roberts, the vice president of international business at Delta Faucet Company . A lofty sentiment – but one that is reflective of changing attitudes towards what is probably one of the most under-designed rooms in your home: the bathroom. When it comes to decorating, if you think that your bathroom is any less deserving of your attention than the other rooms in your house, you’re sorely mistaken. Recent years have seen this humble room evolve into a spa-like haven of relaxation and restoration – an area for bathing, beautifying and unwinding after a long day. It’s no longer a strictly utilitarian space filled with cold, sterile, purely functional features , but rather a personal retreat that should be treated as an important extension of the rest of your interior. “With the fast-paced lifestyle here in the UAE, people want a sanctuary; they want somewhere that they can go and unwind and ...

Broadway Centre attracts Bed Bath & Beyond and Tilley

A Master Bath Renovation

Image
It was certainly a process of a few month’s work, but my brother-in-law, Bruce, finished up their master bath renovation and it looks fabulous!  I can’t wait to share it with you all.  Did you know that kitchens and master baths are right at the top of the list for spaces to renovate in a home that will add the most value?  It’s true.  I hear it all the time.  Most folks when they are looking at a resale home really love it when it has an up to date kitchen and renovated master bath , so hopefully these master bath renovation ideas will give you some things to ponder. So, not only will they get to enjoy the beauty and newness of their master bath, it will add value to their home too, when they sell it down the road.  That’s a win-win for sure.  And also the fact that Bruce did the work himself saved them a TON of money.  Bruce shared with me that he spent about $8,500 on the whole bathroom project, including the new Closet Maid closet system that he bought and installed too.  That’s...

Shower Solutions | Kitchen Bath Design

Building Sep 10, 2009   Share Shower and bath manufacturers are touting eco-friendly advances that won’t sacrifice the spa-like feel. These days, the value of the bath as a haven increases exponentially . Of course water becomes critical to creating a spa-like space that promotes relaxation, and that means showers and tubs take center stage. With shower systems and soaking tubs, there’s no question that people like plenty of water to wash away their cares and stresses. But at the same time, the green trend that promotes water and energy conservation is also impacting design and product trends . With two seemingly disparate trends at play, there’s some debate about what consumers want. “It’s about wellness and rejuvenation,” says Mike Reffner, group product manager for Moen, in North Olmsted, OH. “Consumers [want] an experience that’s spa-like – a bath experience that is a mini-escape.” Lars Christensen, senior product manager for Hansgrohe, in Alpharetta, GA, says that “gree...

Etihad offers bed and bath suites

TALK about some serious legroom. Etihad Airways , a fast- growing Mideast carrier , has laid out plans to offer passengers who find first-class seats a bit too tight a miniature suite featuring a closed-off bedroom, private bathroom and a dedicated butler. It's just the latest push by airlines worldwide to attract high-spending customers. The Abu Dhabi- based carrier announced the front-of-plane amenities as part of a broader rollout of plush new cabin offerings for dozens of long-range jetliners it plans to receive over the coming years. It is the latest in a series of premium offerings for the flying elite by Etihad, which already woos fliers with perks including private first-class chefs and in-flight nannies. Etihad Chief Executive James Hogan conceded that offering what the airline says is the first-of-its kind multi- room suite helps generate buzz , but that ultimately it is a serious effort to bring in more cash. "Obviously there's going to be a halo effect in t...
