Close your eyes. Now take a deep breath,
and imagine a secluded place with low ambient
sounds and softly changing colors. Add your
favorite aromatherapy scents. Imagine a space
filled with the healing power of steam. But
where could you find all this, in one place? An
expensive West Coast spa? A jet-set Buddha
chill lounge in Ibiza?
No, in your very own bathroom, shower or
spa. Today there are sleek, refined and functional
new bathroom furnishings, sinks and other
products by companies such as Kallista and
Kohler, striving to pamper the homeowner.
For instance, the steamshower is replacing
the garden tub, as the preferred at-home relaxation
experience. Kohler and Thermasol are two
companies who have perfected the art of totally
engaging our senses, and shutting out the world.
If all this seems a bit complicated to install,
here are some reassuring words from a
Pensacola showroom manager. “Most plumbers
around here have a lot of experience with these
systems,” reports Lorrie Riley at Bogan Supply.
“Kohler’s digital shower controls, and pressure
valve have simple installation instructions,”
she explains. Their DTVII Interface
touch pad can be programmed for up to six different
uses.”
Kohler’s steam unit is integrated into the
shower’s ceiling, with its soothing blue lighting.
Water Tiles install into the side walls for a lowvolume
shower spray. Their matching Sound
Tiles add a waterproof way to enjoy music.
Love the idea, but can’t live without your
iPod? No problem. Thermasol and Kohler creators
realized everyone who bathes regularly
has a favorite tune or two. Their plug-and-play
audio inputs allow for satellite radio, MP3
player, CD, DVD, or cable television.

steam system installed into any
bathroom in your home.
