A chic, polished guide to creating your dream bathroom, including engaging interviews with top designers and practical advice for homeowners. Whether you call it your sanctuary, retreat, oasis, or spa, the bath is unlike any other room in the house. It can be the most private and indulgent of spaces or a simple, public one in which guests need to feel comfortable. Today’s bath is an expression of personal style and priorities and the luxurious focal point of sophisticated interiors. Creating the perfect bath has become an obsession for homeowners and designers. Yet perhaps no room in the house requires as much forethought and planning as the bath. In The Perfect Bath, Barbara Sallick explores the process of designing a bathroom in great detail and with beautiful images. She shares exquisite, favorite, and esteemed baths, talks with top designers—including Suzanne Lovell, Pamela Shamshiri, Thomas O’Brien, Lee Mindel, Gil Schafer, Tim Clarke, and Steven Gambrel—about their work, and offers important, how-to advice for homeowners. Combining evocative, informative photography with an authoritative, engaging narrative, The Perfect Bath will be an essential, lasting resource.

Matthew ★★★★★

I didn't expect the practical advice to be this useful—there's a whole section on lighting placement that finally made my renovation decisions feel manageable. The designer interviews add a lot too, more like eavesdropping on real conversations than reading a how-to.

Brian K. ★★★★★

The interviews with top designers are what sold me — I picked up two layout ideas I'm actually using in our tiny guest bath. It's more practical than the coffee-table look suggests, with real advice on lighting and storage.

Andrew ★★★★★

I didn't expect a bathroom book to actually be useful, but the practical advice for homeowners saved me from a few expensive mistakes during our remodel. It's a gorgeous coffee-table book too, and the photos alone are worth it.
