Finding a way to make a small bathroom livable is one of the biggest design challenges homeowners will face. Unlike many other rooms, in a small bathroom there isn't a whole lot of room to skimp on furniture or fixtures. To make a small bathroom work, you really need to know exactly where to pare down and how to do it intelligently. You see, one of the most obvious ways to save space is to get a s...
If you've ever dreamed of having your very own Victorian style dressing table but don't exactly have the space to pull it off, it's not too hard to craft a bathroom with the same look and feel. Dainty white bathroom vanities, especially those with a little Victorian influence, can often take the part of dressing vanities. That way, you get all the style of a decadent bathroom and private dressing ...
One of the biggest problems with modern bathroom vanities - and, really, modern bathroom design as a whole - is that the minimal design and industrial palette tend to err a little on the side of stark, cold, and even sterile. That said, if you give your bathroom design a creative eye, it's more than possible to create a modern decor that's warm and inviting rather than a little alien. The best, mo...
Modern bathroom design is all about beauty in simplicity - a fairly monochromatic palette, minimalist lines, and geometric shapes. That said, there are a few great ways to break the "rules" and make your modern bathroom design really stand out. In a modern bathroom, you expect all smooth, unbroken lines, so when you add something with a little more color - like a signature vessel sink - it immedia...
Major bathroom remodels are never cheap, and redoing a big bathroom is even more expensive. But if you find yourself on a tight budget, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice quality, or even the scope of your project, to get the job done. For anything you might want to buy, chances are there's a whole range of similar items in different price ranges. This is especially true of bathroom vanities,...
Arriving nicely dressed to work every single day might be the key to success, but appearing well groomed is easier for some than others. It depends on a person's type of hair, whether or not he has tattoos, or has a talent for ironing or suffers any chronic acne. Life can be cruel. The bathroom vanity was aptly named such because it is a place in the home where we focus all our attention on ou...
There's tons of advice out there about how to make the most of a small bathroom, from making smart choices when choosing big fixtures like a bathtub, toilet, or vanity, to working in smaller details to make the bathroom easier to use. But some of the most effective ways to save space are ones that are seemingly simple, but that have a larger impact on the bathroom as a whole. One of my very favori...
I've become something of an expert in surviving small bathrooms. I've lived in places with bathrooms that range from cozy to outright tight, makeshift to fully remodeled. Let me tell you: in retrospect, it's easy to see that there are a few things that can really make or break a small bathroom when it comes to storage space. And I'm not talking the conventional wisdom and small bathroom storage ad...
Modern design is all about simplicity and streamlined efficiency, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Many "storage smart" and "space saving" designs have a modern feel to them, in large part because they emphasize utility and convenience in a way that more ornate, traditional designs don't. But while storage-packed modern bathroom vanities have become a staple of small bathrooms, moder...
Most bathroom vanity cabinets are just that: cabinets designed more or less the same as kitchen cabinet boxes, with a lot of wide open space and maybe a shelf or two if you're lucky. But when a vanity is all the storage you have in a small bathroom, you want something with a little more organizational savvy.
