We went to interior designer Kyle Timothy Blood , of Kyle Timothy Home in East Hampton, New York, and Eddy Doumas, owner of Worth Interiors in Vail, Colorado, for their ideas on creating a spa feeling in your own home. Soup Up Your Tub Mention the words luxury and bath, and most people's minds turn immediately to the tub. "I steer my clients toward freestanding tubs because I think they're sexier than undermounts with miles of cold countertops," says Doumas. "You can add a beautiful piece of furniture and a basket for towels to the floor space you save." Whether you prefer the romance of a claw-foot tub or the extravagance of a marble surround, make sure your tub selection has adequate length and depth for comfortable bathing. The newest programmable tubs can automatically set ...

Ever felt the sweat dripping off of you during a workout? How about feeling uncomfortably sweaty on a hot summer's day? Remember your palms perspiring right before your first date or job interview? And what about that spicy Thai food you ate a few nights ago? Didn't you sweat just a wee bit? Sweat happens.

Sweat is mostly our body's way of regulating temperature." A natural lubricant that prevents dry skin , the amount of sweat produced depends upon the number o...

When designing a bathroom, the key is to look beyond this space. Does the style blend with the rest of your house? Now, keep in mind, you don’t have to be matchy-matchy and blending doesn’t have to be boring. But if your door knobs and hardware throughout the home are oil-rubbed bronze and you choose nickel for a hall bathroom, the change in finish could be distracting to the eye. Same goes for color scheme, except for the powder room, where drama reigns. If the master bedroom walls are painted a cheery yellow and you go for a burgundy wine colored bathroom , the jarring contrast will create a choppy feel, not the smooth transition you’re after.
