Lavish Hotel Jacuzzis
One of the best parts of staying in a hotel: pampering yourself with a lavish hotel jacuzzi. Hotels have long been known for their luxurious air tubs, Jacuzzis and whirlpools and guests enjoy them so much, they often wish they could install them in their own homes. The good news is that you can. The better news is that you should. As the real estate market becomes more competitive, buyers are looking for homes not with just a master bath, but with spa style bath suites. Read more »
4 Celebrity Bathrooms
If you’ve always assumed that the rich and famous have fancy powder rooms, you are only half right. Most notions of a celebrity bathroom involve images of waterfalls, fancy Jacuzzi tubs and expansive bathroom vanities. But as the examples from below illustrate, celebrity bathrooms can run the gamut from composed and stylish to downright basic.
5 Modern Bathroom Vanities
The bathroom vanity is the centerpiece of your modern bathroom. Vanities set the tone for the look and feel as well as provide storage and serve as the housing for your bathroom sink and faucet and your bathroom mirror. Modern bathroom vanities have clean lines, innovative designs and both functional and visual appeal. To coax out a fresh, contemporary look for your bathroom, consider one of these vanities.

Air Tub vs. Whirlpool: What’s the Difference?
At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between whirlpools and air tubs. Both provide jet massages in a tub. But once you are in the market for one or the other, you will quickly realize that there are some important variances between a whirlpool tub and an air tub. The main distinguishing feature that sets the two apart is the mechanism by which the jets operate. Simply put, a whirlpool shoots jets of water while an air tub uses jets of air. This can have several implications in regards to upkeep, function and personal preference.
American Standard Evolution Whirlpool
The most noticeable difference is the sensation. A whirlpool’s water jets come with the classic, high pressure, deep massaging jets that most people have come to associate with hydrotherapy. When you visit a professional physical therapist, this will likely be the type of tub they have. An air tub, on the other hand, is a more generalized, effervescent feeling. Instead of a few concentrated jets, the air tub has numerous air jets that shoot millions of massaging bubbles. It’s a gentler sensation, but still highly relaxing.
Jacuzzi Allusion Air Tub
The other significant difference between whirlpools and air tubs is the maintenance. Both are relatively simple to clean. For a whirlpool, simply add in a cleaning solution (store bought or homemade) and run the jets for a few minutes. It’s also important to remember to never run a whirlpool unless it is filled. An air tub, on the other hand, is self-drying and is thus self-cleaning. Simply drain the air tub and turn on the jets until the tub is completely dry.
Neither the air tub nor the whirlpool is a superior choice. Choosing which one you install in your home is simply a matter of taste.
Jacuzzi Capella Air Tub
Turning your home into a relaxing oasis is easy to do with the help of the Jacuzzi Capella Air Tub.

| Mix and Match Tile Sizes
Don’t simply install a plain square 12×12 tile floor. At least not until you have considered mixing and matching different tile sizes. Consider using combinations of 6×6 and 12×12 tiles. Or you can go with fancier patterns and use 6×6, 12×12 and 18×18 tiles together in the same room. Read more »
