Product Description
The bathroom is quite possibly the most overlooked room in the home. Nevertheless, this smaller space is being increasingly upgraded and needs to be functional and attractive, with the right amount of storage. Whether it is being used for a quick shower or long soak in the tub, there are many aesthetic and practical considerations to bear in mind. This is where Plan Your Bathroom comes in. In this follow-up to the very sucessful Color Your Home and Plan Your Kitchen, Plan Your Bathroom uses a similar accessible and innovative format to help with all of the key decisionmaking.
After an introduction to bathroom ergonomics and layout, including how to work with what you can't change easily such as plumbing and windows, Plan Your Bathroom looks at the major choices to be made relating to baths, showers, hand basins, and toilets. This is followed by chapters devoted to floors and walls, color, accessories, and gadgets. The final mix and match section contains sample floors, fittings, and walls for endless combinations, as well as tear-out wish lists for readers to plan what to buy and where to source it.
Hundreds of full-color photographs, including examples from leading manufactures, provide a complete visual catalog that will inspire anybody to turn their bathroom into a spa.

I thought that the color suggestions were restrictive, and didn't particularly like the planning choices. The book didn't inspire me at all.
This one had 3 things that I really liked 1-the color scheme samples, 2-the layout grid with scale sized fixtures, and 3-the forms/spreadsheets for writing down where to get what and compare your options (ex: item (eg. bathtub), supplier, color, cost).
Color schemes - I was able to get a feel for what colors I liked and didn't like and my husbands taste too. Obviously, we weren't going to go with the exact scheme but it was a good place to start. Layout grid - there were tons of these online but our bathroom is not square or rectangular, so it was nice to grid it out easily. As for the forms, I could have come up with my own, but it was nice to have one to borrow from.
As for the actual bathrooms they showed, they were pretty fancy and very modern. So if your budget is limited or your tastes or more eclectic, keep that in mind. Also, there isn't any technical stuff in there dealing with wiring, plumbing, tiling, or the construction part of a remodel. So if you are looking for a book that would get you completely start to finish, this isn't really it.
