Corners are a tricky-to-decorate but mandatory space in every home. Unless we start building all our homes to be curved (which would create a different problem!), you’ll always have several sharp angles in every room. That isn’t a bad thing inherently, but room corners tend to be darker than the rest of the room, and […]
If you’re just starting to explore your sense of style, the lingo used by designers can be confusing or off-putting. People often use the words “modern” and “contemporary” interchangeably. That’s hard enough to navigate without the many modifiers you’re likely to find on the way. “Organic modern”? “Contemporary Scandinavian”? “Mid-century modern”? If you’re feeling off-balance, […]
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 […]
When you’re shopping for a new bathroom vanity, it can seem like you have two options: either buy a pre-made vanity from your local big box hardware store, or shell out for custom cabinet work. But having someone else design and build your vanity isn’t the only way to customize your space. Modular bathroom vanities […]
Decorating a small, high traffic bathroom is a bit of a juggling act. Finding a vanity that fits in the space, with all the storage and features you need is hard enough – to say nothing of getting one that looks good, too. But being “small” and “functional” doesn’t mean a bathroom vanity can’t be […]
New product lines typically get rolled out towards the start of the year. But 2021 has been anything but typical. This year, James Martin’s big annual update has come as a new fall collection rather than a spring one. But with five entirely new collections and a whole host of updates to their most popular […]
Modular, makeup-table style bathroom vanities have become one of the hottest options for master bathrooms over the last few years, and for a good reason. They’re easy to install, customizable in terms of size, style, and layout, and give you more functionality than you’d get from an oversized double vanity. That said, they won’t always […]
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 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, […]
