Create Ambiance

To create the perfect bathing experience, Jean Kolb of Kohler advises designing a dip that addresses the five senses. Close the bathroom door and dim the lights or light a candle. Play soothing music -- or do the opposite and opt for the sound of silence to still the mind. "A bath can be so simple. Close the door, shut out the world, and find solace in plain water," says Shirley Pieratt, president of Lady Primrose bath products.
