After a hectic day, filled with cell-phones and faxes, teleconferencing and frenzied freeways, nothing relieves stress better than relaxing at home in your own bathroom get-away. Maybe your bathroom transports you to another time and place as it creates an ambiance reminiscent of a Roman bath house. Or perhaps your bath recalls the memory of the wonderful weekend you spent in that elegant, upscale hotel in New York City. Daily pressures just seem to vanish as you pamper yourself in the luxury of today’s bath.
Luxury and comfort are the key words defining what everybody wants in their bathroom haven. Whirlpool tubs continue to be strong, especially those that offer the latest in technology; programmable hydrotherapy jets for a body massage that can’t be beat. However, there is also a growing desire for larger, more sophisticated shower systems with custom glass enclosures, often with the shower taking precedent over tub when space is limited. "Hot" trends include steam units in showers, body sprays, multiple shower heads 
and showers for two.Amenities such as built-in TVs, telephones and mini bars remain popular luxury items. Radiant floor heating and heated towel bars provide a soothing warmth that eases away tension. Multiple windows or skylights utilize natural light to brighten up the room, and invite inside the elegance of the great outdoors.Greater choices than ever in bathroom finishes let homeowners express their personal taste by setting a mood, or evoking a memory. Faucets are no longer selected for functionality alone, but for elegance and detail. Fixtures, such as toilets and sinks, have become pieces of art with rich textures and unique shapes. Many styles feature exquisite hand painted designs. Cabinetry rivals the appearance of fine furniture, and countertops speak high-end luxury in materials such as marble.
Bathrooms are also being personalized to fit the particular needs of individuals, adding grab bars and raising or lowering the height of vanities as desired. Pressure-balancing bath and shower faucets eliminate surges of hot or cold water. Overall, bathrooms are open and airy, and include plenty of storage and dressing space.
Today’s bathrooms are definitely becoming a kind of personal sanctuary, a place where we can relax and dream dreams in privacy, comfort and luxury.
