“Bright and bright” is the renovation goal for most clients. However, every space requires balance. Compare vanities with tile, such as the black vanity and light marble tile in the Country Club project and vice versa.

Tiles can be cold, both literally underfoot and visually. The cabinet shop team worked wonders when it came to the wooden dresser, adding warmth through the color of the wood and working artistically with the grain.

Mixing metals is becoming increasingly popular in design. My grandmother would be horrified. A useful way to balance two different types of metal finishes is to use two layers, one for all plumbing fixtures and one for accessories such as mirrors, hardware, robe hooks, etc. Choose a matte or flat finish and a polished one. for dimensions.

Wallpaper fits in any bathroom. The cute chevron wallpaper in the Drew Avenue kids’ bathroom is a feature on the vanity wall.

Natural stone marble and basalt tiles add texture and color variation to the monochromatic color palette of this Hale House loft owner’s suite renovation. Designing a monochromatic room doesn’t have to result in a boring space. Add patterns of varying scales and follow design principles to keep the room interesting.

Millwork is a wonderful way to add dimension and texture to a room, especially if the room is monochromatic like the Dayton Ranch owner’s suite. Using the rule of thirds in millwork, i.e. the bottom is two-thirds of the wall with the top third, makes the ceiling feel higher, compared to if the millwork consisted of two and a half sections. Framed millwork takes the elegance of this space to a higher level of luxury.

Wooden floors in the bathroom?! We’re not crazy; that doesn’t mean we recommend carpet! Hardwood floors can live a healthy life in the bathroom with proper ventilation and precautions, such as bath mats and rugs, to absorb water. The owner’s suite in the Goodrich Tudor project has hardwood floors. We are also currently installing engineered hardwood in the downstairs guest bathroom, as part of our phase II renovation on Whitegate Lane.
