Bathrooms today are frequently designed as retreats places where you can take time out to relax at the end of a busy day. The master bathroom in this house is no exception. As well as an inviting decor and large tub, it features the Steamist steam bath.

While the physical and mental benefits of steam bathing have been recognized for centuries, the advantages of having such a system in your home are only now becoming widely appreciated.

Designer Wendy Valliere of Seldom Scene Interiors says the busy lifestyles people lead have created a need for therapeutic relaxation.

"We like to think of the master bathroom as a spa, rather than just another serviceable room," she says. "The Steamist steam bath helps to create that sense of a spa retreat. There's no need to visit the gym for a relaxing steam bath, and the whole family can enjoy the benefits."

Steamist steam baths are simple to operate, and the system is easily connected to existing plumbing and electrical services.

The Steamist steam bath was supplied by The Portand Group, 74 Salem Rd, N Billerica, MA 01862, phone (877) 382 8153. Or visit the website: www.theportlandgroup.com.
