Treat your bathroom to a holiday makeover

Holiday wish lists -- you've checked off your kids, parents, and spouse's, but what is on your bath's? If your bath is more functional than fabulous, it will be the last room you head for when you need a little TLC. Dress it up this holiday season with festive faucetry and create your own little corner of tranquility.

Festive faucets -- traditional Clayton (top) and contemporary Nexus (bottom) -- will add flash and flair to your bathroom, in time for holiday gatherings.

TOTO's beautiful new high-performance Nexus, Mercer, and Clayton lavatory and tub faucets will turn you on as they bring out the beauty of your bath. These flashy fixtures are easy-to-clean and stand firm against heavy wear-and-tear. Like jewels for the bath, the polished chrome faucets are available as centerset or widespread, and feature valves of solid brass construction with 90-degree turn ceramic disc valving. Installation is easy, the result of flexible connections and top-mount installation.

The lavatory spouts deliver an aerated flow, which minimizes splashing and conserves water, while the tub spouts' laminar flow provides a 2.5 gallons-per-minute fill rate.

The Nexus faucets' minimalism invokes nature's elemental beauty and adds design dimension to the contemporary bath. The handles emulate the flared look of the spout and handle bases, unifying the design lines and creating a balanced, homogenous silhouette.

The neo-classical design of the Mercer lavatory and tub faucets combines nostalgia with the spirit of the modern age. The warmed up classical shape and unique details help create a distinctive design statement that blends tradition with today to capture the essence of elegance. The crosshatch handles and gooseneck spout sit atop round molded bases, which echo that of the spout, creating a harmonious design statement.

Clayton lavatory and bath-shower mixer reflect the traditional influences of the past while incorporating modern design touches for a look that will remain appealing for years to come. The lever handles, with porcelain accents, serve as a counterpoint to the softly arching spout. The flared spout base accentuates the beauty of the flared handle bases, giving these timeless fixtures a graceful look reminiscent of yesteryear, but engineered for today's active households.

The deck mount shower-mixer has a flexible hand shower with porcelain accents. Its flared showerhead echoes the shower-mixer's spout, and its aerated flow creates a sensuous whoosh of water to lather soap or rinse it away, while conserving the element.
