Ultimate Entertainment Bathroom

By Carolyn Gray

Start off with plenty of natural stone, warm wood and colors that soothe the artistic temperament. Then add beautiful fixtures with simple, elegant lines. A deep soaking tub makes the best seat for your bathroom home theater; you may want massaging water jets, chromatherapy lights or just an extra-large tub with room for your favorite co-star.

No time for a soak? Jump into a frameless glass shower. Today's spa showers include everything from a soaking rain and multiple variable sprays to a full steam shower. With all these choices, you'll want a computerized control that remembers the temperature, spray pattern and other details of multiple shower programs. And, of course, a warmed towel is the perfect way to end the perfect shower.

You won't want to leave this ultimate bathroom, so make it easy to linger with a small sitting area complete with minibar. It's the perfect place to serve a glass of Oscar-night champagne.
