You might not realize it, but one of the most mundane, practical decisions you have to make for your bathroom is actually one that will have a huge impact on the overall look and feel of your space. How to keep the shower from splashing water onto the rest of your bathroom isn’t exactly a […]
If you’re looking for a way to build a luxury shower on a budget (or in a smaller space!) your best option might be one you’ve never heard of. Shower panels are a relatively little-known option, but they’re a great, budget-friendly midpoint between a generic showerhead and an expensive custom shower. They offer many of […]
Small bathrooms often get the short end of the stick when it comes to availability of luxury upgrades. After all, it’s hard to have a big, sweeping shower stall when your bathroom itself is neither big nor sweeping. Ditto for a roomy soaking tub or whirlpool.
