Whole-House Sound Hath Charms to Soothe the Savage in You
Charms of Music
Installing whole-house sound hath the same charms of music – soothing savage beasts, and all that – and is a luxury feature that charms buyers, too. These sound systems (http://digitaltips.org/home-systems/multi-room-buying-guide.asp), which can pipe music to every room or to just a few, cost as high as $3,000 per room for behind-the-walls wiring (including speakers), to as low as $400 per room for wireless units. But whatever price point you choose, music will make your house sound like a million bucks. Here’s a look at your options.
Steam Shower: Make Your Life a Little Steamy
Put Some Steam in Your Life
Installing a home steam shower unclogs the sinuses in the morning and relaxes the muscles at night. It’s a luxury upgrade-up to $10,000 for a custom-framed steam shower; or about half that for a prefabricated unit. But compared with an upscale bathroom remodel $54,000, a steam shower is a comparatively inexpensive way to feel like royalty.
