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 […]
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 […]
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? […]
Bathtubs are one of the most basic staples of bathroom design – to the point that you can’t claim to have a “full” bathroom without one. But despite this, they’ve always been a point of debate when it comes to doing a major bathroom renovation. How big should your tub be? Should it be freestanding, […]
Lately almost everyone in the design world is saying white bathrooms are on the way out. But after years of seeing nothing but white subway tile, pedestal sinks, and beadboard, it can be hard to know where to start building a bathroom that doesn’t rely on these cottage-style staples. Worse still, how do you add […]
2020 has been a rough year so far. I think it’s safe to say that we all have hygiene on the mind, and that we could all use a reliable way to de-stress and unwind. Where do those two things come together? You’ve got it: the bathroom. A hot shower or a long bubble bath […]
For many people, getting in and out of the tub is so much of a struggle that taking a bath becomes a luxury. Whether its from a temporary injury or permanent disability, climbing in and out can be an impossible hurdle, making your bathtub the least functional part of your bathroom. This is not the […]
With the obvious exception of bathroom vanities, putting any wood in a bathroom has long been a big no-no. After all, bathrooms are full of water, heat, steam, and fluctuating temperatures – all natural enemies of hardwood. Yet more and more homeowners and designers are bringing the warmth of natural wood into this forbidden territory, […]
