Hexagon tile became popularized in the 20th century as a unique bath tile look. Around the mid-20th century, designers got creative with tiling, and the small hexagonal bath tiles transformed into an iconic choice for any space using any size and color. The Timeless Hexagon.

I love so many things about the three baths pictured here. All were created by Alexandra and Michael Miscczynski of the firm Interiors/Atelier AM (I highly recommend picking up a copy of their book). The voids in their rooms do not feel like empty spaces, but rather create a sense of calm and well-being.

In the October 2015 issue of Architectural Digest, be sure to flip to the bath that Nate Berkus, the hip and talented young designer, created for his own house. I was immediately attracted to the book-matched stone feature wall. But there is much more that makes this a memorable bath.

If you live in a shared space and don’t have that opportunity, look for ways to make your bath or shower into a spa setting for yourself. You can add bath salts, a handheld massaging showerhead (you can buy online and easily install), a candle and a book tray if reading helps you unwind.

Leslie’s book, Behind the Burly Q, is about the history of burlesque in America, and she is familiar with the strippers, musicians and other members of the “burly circuit.” The mission was to create a bathroom that might resemble the ones originally installed and to accurately reflect the style of a 1920s bath.

Occasionally, I come across a vintage bath that is so compelling I like to post a single image. In this bath for Barbara Hutton, I loved the choice of book matched marble with just the right amount of activity on the surface, the contrasting color scheme, the classical ornamentation on the soffit over the tub and the brass tub fittings.

Taking a luxurious bath is another easy way to feel like you’ve stepped into a spa at the Four Seasons. However, if baths aren’t your thing or your bathroom doesn’t have a tub, you can add a body spray to your shower for hydrotherapy and a massage-like feel. Candles or essential oils in the guest bathroom show thought and care.
