Bathrooms

Make your bathroom into a personal retreat.

Beauty and function go hand in hand in this important room. Some obvious places to start your bathroom plan are: - A paint color that makes you feel pampered - An elegant vanity, maybe even a vintage table that’s repurposed - New countertops, backsplashes and sinks - Updated hardware, including faucets, pulls and handles, available in such a variety of looks and finishes - Beautiful framed mirrors, instead of frameless wall-to-wall mirrors - New layered lighting that’s beautiful AND functional, and even a skylight to bring in natural light Redoing the shower or tub is a bigger project, but how much fun to create a luxurious bathing experience. This is a good place to spurge on finishes and hardware since you’ll enjoy them every day of the year. Function is also key when updating a bathroom. - Use slip-resistant flooring. - Select finishes that are easy to clean and resistant to water, especially if you live in a humid environment. - Plan for as much storage as you need, so the bathroom never looks cluttered. - Include plenty of towel racks, so towels are easy to reach and have a chance to dry. - If you have space, include a place to sit, whether it’s a built-in bench or a movable chair or stool. Ready to have a luxurious new retreat in your home? Focus on remodeling your bathroom this season!

Decorative Layering

Layering is a beautiful decorating strategy.

Layering adds beauty and sophistication to a decorating plan. There are so many surfaces you can layer in your home. Add layers: - To your walls with wainscoting, stenciling, wall coverings and crown moldings - To your floors with rugs and carpets over hard wood, tile and stone flooring - To your window coverings by pairing soft window treatments with blinds and shades - To your bed with layers of sheets, blankets, duvets, comforters, throws, pillows and more - To your furniture with slip covers, embellished pillows and cuddly throws - To your lighting by combining functional task lighting with interesting lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, spotlights and even candles - To your dining table with tablecloths, runners, place mats, chargers and dishware Layers can be achieved with color, by using multiple shades within the same color family or with complementary colors, such as deep red accents in a sage green décor. Think of color layering during the holidays too, with accents in gold, silver, red and green, or blue and silver. You can also layer with patterns, using several patterns in a decorating scheme or using the same pattern in slightly different colors or a different scale. Just be careful with too many patterns, so you don’t create chaos! Think about layering with textures too, combining soft rich fabrics with crisp, clean linen and even tweedy, rough wools. Think multidimensional about your rooms this summer, and add a little layering for depth and engagement.

Bathroom Window Treatments

What to Consider when Selecting Window Treatments
for a Bathroom

Clearly, our first priority in the bathroom is privacy, but these window treatments also need to withstand near-constant humidity.  For an area near a tub, shower or spa, look for materials that won't warp, crack or mildew.  Shades that open from the top down are also a wise choice because they let natural light in yet still provide privacy. 

Mildew-Resistant Blinds and ShuttersWe recommend Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ polysatin shutters and EverWood® alternative wood blinds for your bathroom. These products are made from materials that are guaranteed to never warp, chip, crack or fade even in the most extreme temperatures. By simply tilting and turning the slats and louvers of our alternative wood blinds and shutters you control the light and privacy levels you want in your bathroom. Remember: The wider the slats or louvers, the better the view through -- and less surface to clean!

More Window Treatment Options for the Bathroom
If moisture is less of a concern in your bathroom, there are other options you may want to consider, such as Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds and Silhouette® window shadings.

We will help you choose the right solution.

Our experienced design professionals will work with you to find the best window treatment solution for your bathroom, all within your budget.

The Color Chocolate

Chocolate is a bold and luscious interior design choice.

And chocolate can remind you of one of your favorite treats! Just like edible chocolate, which we mix with everything from Rice Krispies to raspberries to hazelnuts to make it even tastier, decorative chocolate can be combined with a myriad of colors to enhance its beauty and flavor! - Together with pastels, such as baby blue, light pink or butter yellow - Layered with several lighter neutrals, such as cream, taupe, tan and beige - Paired with snowy white - Integrated with earth tones, like gold, apricot and sage green - Combined with bold colors, such as tangerine, acid green or tomato red Like most dark colors, chocolate works best as an accent color rather than as the predominant color in a room. And it’s important to surround large areas of chocolate with light colors to ensure a room doesn’t appear too dark and closed. Consider these design elements for a touch of chocolate in your house: - A painted accent wall - Lacquer surfaces, such as table tops and furniture - Rugs and carpeting - Hardwood floors - Fabrics for upholstery, draperies and headboards - Table, bed and bath linens - Leather or suede for wall coverings, furniture or table tops - Tile, backsplashes and countertops in kitchen and bath Think chocolate for decorating this year.              Try pairing chocolate with turquoise and white.                                           STORE HOURS Monday through Friday  10am-4pm We are happy to assist you at any other time, including evenings and weekends...
