The Bathroom
Great stuff.
"I always wanted one of those huge bathrooms with the free standing iron
bath and the Lions feet. There’s a sofa in it and a table with
books and candles and there are lots of plants. Big fleecy robes hang on the door and there’s stack of
towels and knick knacks. You sometimes see these bathrooms in Homes
and Gardens. You could
lie in there for hours in undisturbed peace. I comfort myself with
the fact that it would be harder to clean and heat, impractical,
absolutely. But I’d
really like one."

It’s O.K. though ,because there are lots and lots of different styles
to choose from.
The size and the number of people who will use it are the main
factors to take into account when choosing.

We should say here that carpet in the bathroom is
usually a bad idea. No
matter how hard you try to keep it clean and dry it is impossible,
and very soon the carpet will not be doing the room any favours
It is really worth spending the money getting the flooring right. There
are great vinyls available now and if you want to get adventurous
you can design and cut tiles to give all sorts of fantastic effects.
You can do the same with ceramics and there are woods treated to stand up to the conditions.

Wallpaper, if you use it, should be suitable for bathrooms or you run the risk of steam causing
damage.
Bathrooms are another place where you can be dramatic if you like. |
Lighting, we’d recommend
good spotlights, carefully positioned, and when you want to just lie in
the bath and chill out you use candles, aromatherapy ones even.
