The layout of this bathroom by Shanade McAllister-Fisher is a designer’s nightmare: it’s small, cramped, narrow, and without a single window to help brighten up the space. It’s literally too small to be photographed from inside the room. And yet, the smart use of contrast and light not only saves this small bathroom from feeling cramped and […]
One of the big dangers of chasing design trends is that the bold, breathtaking styles of today don’t always last.

Consider how involved a remodel can be, decorating a bathroom can be an arduous process. You will be asking questions like shower or bath? Mosaic tile or checkered? Should the curtains match the soap dispenser? What kind of sink? The last one is easy enough to answer: if you want to maximize your space and amp up your […]
