It has become a refuge for those seeking purification, warmth, and respite and, as such, is designed to integrate functionality with beauty and relaxation. The hundreds of color photographs included in this practical yet visually pleasing book illustrate this truism and provide helpful decorating hints and ideas for anyone looking to re-design this most important room.
