Homeowners want to step into a new world when they walk into their bathrooms these days, and manufacturers are quite happy to oblige them with an astounding array of product offerings. Whether it's an energizing shower or a relaxing whirlpool bath, options abound in the number of jets, the direction of sprays, the choice of air and water temperature settings, and even the use of aromatherapy scents. It could be that a “back-to-basics” backlash will come in a few years, but for now, it's time to dive into a sea of options.

MTI. Bringing the home bath closer to a full spa experience is the aromatherapy package option, available on many of the company's whirlpool baths. A small, deck-mounted well houses a removable canister that holds felt pads dampened with the bather's choice of essential oils. The thermo-air massage system circulates air bubbles through the canister and into the bath, carrying the scent with them. 800.783.8827. www.mtiwhirlpools.com.
