There can be moments when a day seems a lot longer than it is and each moment starts to weigh heavily on you with the only thing that you look forward to at that point being a refreshing shower and a good night’s sleep. There is simply nothing like a rejuvenating and relaxing bath to soothe your aching sense, revitalize you with energy and to offer you some much needed time away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. When it comes to delivering all that and a whole lot more, nothing matches the silent eloquence of the Japanese design .

A Stunning Japanese Ryokan in the Heart of Tokyo

Fathom editor Berit Baugher checked into the city's most talked about new hotel. TOKYO – On a recent visit to Japan I checked into Hoshinoya Tokyo , one of the city's newest and most exciting hotel openings . Styled after a traditional Japanese inn , also known as a ryokan , the quiet 84- room hotel feels worlds away from the busy streets of Tokyo. Historically, ryokans are low-key affairs with minimal furnishings and services, shared bathrooms, and no heating or air conditioning. Hoshinoya Tokyo embraces the tradition of simplicity, but through an elevated and luxurious lens, differentiating it from other urban ryokans. Upon entering the hotel, I instantly felt at peace; fragrant incense filled the air and soft Japanese music played in the background. Instead of a traditional lobby , I was greeted by an attendant in a room laye...

shoji screen makes a perfect partition for a relaxing space." title="Ryan McVay/Digital Vision/Getty Images" /> The shoji screen makes a perfect partition for a relaxing space. Traditional shoji screens consist of panels of rice paper framed in a wooden grid. Available in different sizes, they can be used as sliding panels , window treatments or standalone folding screens . Like many Japanese design elements , shoji screens boast a simple geometric design and neutral, natural tones for a calming, peaceful presence. These qualities make them ideal for creating a relaxing bathroom environment . Shoji Shower and Bath The neutral tones of a shoji screen make it a good design choice for a shower or bath area, and the translucent quality of the panel maintains privacy but lets light in. If the planned partition will come into contact with water, ensure that the screen is waterproof. Instead of a glass shower door , use a sliding shoji screen panel made with wa...

Shower and Bath All in One

Image
To bathe or to shower? That is the question, but for many of us there is only one answer. Our smaller bathrooms simply don 't allow for both choices. We recently found a house in Austin that has a creative solution for containing a shower and a bath in one modest space. Built by Accord Construction, an ordinary garden tub enclosed by a tiled deck, is basically inside an open shower. The whole mosaic tiled area is roughly 5 by 5 feet and is separated from the rest of the bathroom by a 5 inch curb. The beauty of this design is that there is no need for the usual glass shower partition , which is a substantial expense and sometimes difficult to keep free of water stains. Bonus: If you splish-splash too much while taking a bath, the suds drain right into the shower. We searched for another clever solution to the bath/shower dilemma and discovered the Seadream by Duravit. This is a shower and tub "in a nutshell", or in wood veneer paneling . The decorative wood panels are o...
