28 Bathroom Vanity Ideas To Elevate Your Storage Space
In almost any bathroom, the vanity serves as a focal point as soon as you walk in. A piece of furniture where you groom yourself, like brushing hair or washing your face, the vanity is an important functional element of any bathroom. It is where your personal toiletries, like makeup, skincare, and soaps, are stored, and it serves as a pedestal or base for your sink. And although beautiful tiled showers often get the spotlight (and most of your funds) during a remodel, the vanity is often what spearheads the style and aesthetic of the entire space. #dreambathroom #spaaesthetic #homedecorideas #interiordesign #bathroomvanity

45 Bathroom Tile Ideas To Inspire Your Renovation For Showers, Floors, And Walls
While we still love white for a bathroom, we’re expanding our horizons to the world of intriguing colors. These days, interior designers are opting for more unique bathroom looks.

Among them, tile can be a particularly impactful choice with seemingly endless options.

18 Things That Make Your Bathroom Look Dated
Let’s set one thing straight: Old doesn’t mean bad. We love antique, vintage, and second hand home goods and in our opinion, our favorite timeless heirlooms have aged like fine wine. However, where you get into tricky territory, is with outdated trends. When a home decorating trend booms into popularity, it can crumble into obscurity just as quickly. If you buy into the wrong trend, in just a few years time, it can serve as an unfortunate, outdated remnant of styles past. #vintage #bathroom #homedesign #interiordesign #bathroomtrends
7 Things You Should Be Storing Under The Bathroom Sink
No matter the size of your bathroom, storage always seems to be in short supply. Picking and choosing what should be stored under the sink and what should be stored in a nearby closet can feel like a logic problem. That’s why every organizational expert we spoke with recommended investing in an under-sink storage organization system. That could be a two-tier shelf, plastic bins, a revolving lazy Susan organizer, plastic drawers, or whatever is most practical for you and your space. #decor #homedecorations #interiordesign #bathroom #bathroomsink #southernhome

Truthfully, they’re very similar: They both showcase a timeless, silver-like sheen perfect for kitchen and bathroom finishes, including faucets, light fixtures, and cabinet handles.
