Bathroom Decorating Tips
As a designer,
I am frequently asked for advice or tips on updating residential interiors.
The rooms people want to update most often are their kitchens and bathrooms.
This makes sense because kitchens and bathrooms are the rooms that everyone
in the family uses ... every day. These high-traffic rooms often
become run-down and dated quicker than other rooms in the house.
Good design is about mixing and
matching. We want our homes to reflect our individual tastes and interests.
It should be practical and personal. We shy away from cookie-cutter rooms
filled with furnishings all in the same scale and style. And, what "goes
together" doesn't always need to match.
Bathrooms are one of the most used and abused rooms in your
home, yet they are also a serene and relaxing retreat to escape
for a few moments each day. With that in
mind, it is crucial for
your bathroom to be functional, beautiful and enjoyable.
Home fashion has come full circle. Many design trends first made popular
in the 1920s are back in vogue and stronger than ever. For example, the
cottage-style home, a blend of farmhouse and bungalow that is best defined
by the simple clean lines of the 1920s, has enjoyed a resurgence in
popularity in recent years.
