California-based Tim Clarke lets nature lead the way in his bathroom designs. "Another way to integrate the interior and exterior is to...treat the view as artwork within the room," says Clarke in "The Perfect Bath" by Barbara Sallick. "Sometimes I will frame the view with a square or even slightly vertical window, so that the proportions of sky, sea, and sand read as an abstract canvas."

Pamela Shamshiri is inspired by nature with her wooden bathroom designs. "In my own home, we have a Japanese bath that demands nearly as much attention as a child. But it's worth it, and I believe fine woods, such as hinoki, a Japanese cypress, deliver healing properties that other materials do not," she says.

Sallick, a designer herself, encourages bathrooms to reflect a home's overall aesthetic. "Go in a direction that is in sympathy with the style of your home. If a material is stridently out of context, you'll regret it -- and as it has been crafted at great expense, you will have no choice but to live with it," she says.

Not shy of embellishments, this marble bathroom lies in a Miami villa, called Vizcaya, which was once the winter abode of the late agricultural industrialist James Deering. Now a museum, the 54-room mansion overlooks Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove, Florida, and has been designed in an eighteenth-century Italian Mediterranean architectural style.

On color, Sallick writes,"the smaller the space, the more potent it becomes." Here, she points out that the gray-white marble sink and white-on-white artwork help to tone down the color and vibrant patterns of the room's wallpaper.

"I used layers of glass to separate the shower cabinet from an outdoor teak deck and from the rest of the bathroom. I also chose a stone for the shower wall that resembled the surface of the sea. That way there was a play on the perception of what was inside and what was outside," says designer Tim Clarke.

Sallick's personal preference has led her to the classic end of the color spectrum: "My own bath eloquently conveys my love of white," she says.
