Replacing a bathroom vanity is one of the biggest renovation projects you’ll face as a homeowner. And that’s not because it’s particularly difficult to do or (in the grand scheme of roof repairs and water heater replacements) even all that expensive. So what’s the big deal? Whatever vanity you choose will be with you for […]
I’ve always coveted more closet space. I never seem to have enough of it, and there’s no better way to hide a lot of accumulated stuff – whether it’s clothes, board games, golf clubs, or old paperwork – than behind a closed closet door. Which is why it might sound a little outrageous to suggest […]
I’ve been in the interior design business a long time. I know from experience that trends come and go; the ones people think will stick aren’t always the ones still around five or ten years down the line. But take it from me: for all the times in the last decade that someone has asked […]
If you’re of the mind to update your bathroom, you may be considering what’s worth the renovation budget. Tearing out your bathtub and replacing it can be an intimidating project, not to mention labor-intensive and expensive. But what if there was another way to update it? Bathtubs look and function largely the same, so it’s […]
I think we can all agree, 2020 wasn’t a great year for getting things done. And all that time at home has certainly helped highlight what we wish our spaces could do better. So it’s no surprise that 2021 bathroom trends have two big, very 2020-influenced themes: comfort and cleanliness. The biggest trends this year […]
Whether you have a big master bathroom or a small one, it’s a space you have to share. That can be hard when you only have one sink, especially if you and your partner need to get ready at the same time. Double vanities–or “his and her” vanities–solve this issue by giving you more sink, […]
The building blocks of interior design are all squares and rectangles. If you’ve ever had the (mis)fortune of using floorplan software, you’ll know: at the very basic level, everything is broken down into small boxes shuffled around in bigger boxes. But where does that leave you if the space you’re working with isn’t quite square? […]
When I was a child, I was lucky enough to have my own bathroom. My parents decided to appropriately theme it to make getting ready for school fun in the mornings. It was an aquatic style, with bubbly wallpaper, soothing blues, and a ton of fish accents. I loved it. As an adult I wanted […]
Acrylic furniture has always been something of a novelty. After all, there’s really no other way to get totally translucent furniture. Glass and mirrored surfaces come close, but the look of clear acrylic really is in a class all its own. But if you think clear acrylic furniture can only be used as an accent […]
One of the biggest new trends in bathroom design isn’t actually new at all, but an homage to a very old look. Specifically, lots of designers are trying their hand at re-interpreting and recreating a turn-of-the-century industrial style. At the height of the industries this look is imitating, bathrooms were very different than the ones […]
