If there’s one piece of design advice you hear over and over again it’s this: update your hardware. It’s tried and true, but so over-stated that it’s become tired and trite. Because, sure, updating your hardware is easy and inexpensive. But in most cases it also doesn’t make that big a difference. So why do […]
I’ve talked about cottagecore at length – from what the style is to how to recreate it at home. But there’s one room in the house that’s never talked about in the cottagecore movement: the bathroom. It seemed strange; the bathroom is arguably the most important room in the home, and can be a huge […]
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 […]
Gold hardware has been a staple in bathrooms for decades, so in the 21st century it’s hard for it not to feel outdated. You may be tempted to replace your faucets and showerhead with something newer like brass or chrome, but modern bathrooms have brought gold back as an accent. With some other updates to […]
Building a luxury bathroom typically means doing a wide-scale, big-budget renovation. You know the type: rip everything out and replace it with something high-quality and expensive. But adding a sense of luxury to your bathroom doesn’t have to mean rebuilding it from the ground up. In fact, the improvements you’ll get the most mileage out […]
Large scale remodels almost always demand a large budget. The bigger the space and the more elaborate your design choices, the higher the bottom line. That’s why powder rooms and guest bathrooms have become something of a go-to spot to flex your design muscles. Because these bathrooms are typically smaller and less trafficked, you not […]
Farmhouse bathrooms are an iconic staple of the design world, and a look that’s usually pretty dependent on a few specific fixtures and features. Clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks, and subway and hex tile all spell a look that’s homey and classic. But if you want a style that captures that coziness but feels a little […]
Cottage and farmhouse style bathrooms are a big go-to for homeowners looking to make the most of a smaller bathroom, but for a long time now that’s mostly meant making spaces that are wall-to-wall white: white tile, white vanities, and white porcelain just-about-everything. The good news is, it’s entirely possible to get that same homey […]
Guest bathrooms and powder rooms are among my favorite spaces to experiment with new styles. They’re relatively small, which means you won’t need a lot of time or materials to totally transform the space. They’re also less frequently used, which means you can be a little bolder with your choices than you might for a […]
