“The Bathroom Book: The Ultimate Design Resource for the Home’s Most
Essential Space,” Edited by Bill Partsch ($29, Filipacchi)
If the bathroom is more of a functional wash station than relaxing oasis, “The Bathroom Book” will provide fuel for an update. Packed with examples of elegant design, it shows how to choose the perfect porcelain toilet, the smartest storage system, softest lighting and even a tub made for two. There are practical guides for selecting low-maintenance tiling and flooring. And even if you never wanted to see the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson’s dream bathroom, it’s here in this functional, glossy treat.| Antonia Blyth
