Functional Luxury in the Bathroom

(ARA) - These days, what used to be the most forgotten room in the house is getting a lot of attention. One of the most popular trends in home improvement is to turn the bathroom into a luxurious getaway. But how do you do it?

Some people will knock down walls to make their bathroom bigger, and then add such upgrades as a whirlpool custom shower, workout space or separate toilet room. But for those who don't have $30,000 to spend on upgrades, there are some simple, but luxurious things that can be done to change the look and functionality of the room for the better.

People have been adding in-floor heating, heated towel warmers and adjustable shower heads for a while now, but just introduced at the 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry show in Las Vegas this past May is a high-tech storage option that has the potential to change how people use their bathrooms: Robern's M Series mirrored cabinet with Cold Storage.

"For homeowners who prize luxury and utility, this cold storage cabinet is soon to be a storage must-have," says Steve Bissell, president of Robern, a company that specializes in bathroom storage solutions that combine stylish designs with innovative features.

Half of the 8-inch deep, 20-by-30-inch cabinet is dedicated to cold storage at a refrigerator-like temperature that allows users to extend the life of high-end cosmetics, maintain the quality of health and wellness products or simply keep beverages chilled and handy. The other half is for toiletries that do not require refrigeration, like toothbrushes, soaps or towels.

The cabinet can be installed semi-recessed or surface mounted. It has interior shelves to maximize storage and a handsome mirrored front door with a minimalist style that enables it to complement the other design elements of the vanity or room.
