According to Designers, the Biggest Bathroom Trend of 2023 Is Self-Care

Although the past couple of years are not entirely in the rear view mirror, as a whole, humanity seems to have rebounded. But one aspect of the long isolation—that the primary bathroom became a refuge when everyone was always home—has remained. We’ve developed an unyielding need for personal space, and that’s not something we’re apt to give up quickly.

Bathrooms as we know them are a relatively recent phenomenon. Ancient Romans and medieval Europeans, for example, used public

7 Luxe Bathroom Ideas to Boost Your Well-Being

With all due respect to the kitchen, we could make a strong case for the bathroom being the heart of the home. It’s the spot where you start every morning and wind down at the end of every evening. And when you’re in need of a full recharge, there’s nothing quite like a long bath to wash away the stress of the day.

The bathroom is vital to health and happiness, which is why it’s so important to create a space that goes beyond being functional. A few thoughtful design choices—and some pieces from Duravit’s Zen-channeling Zencha collection—can take

Plate Racks (for Displaying Platters, Serving Boards, and Plates!): Sunday Strolls + Scrolls

Plate racks are a charming and functional addition to the home. You can use one for storing and displaying platters, plates, wood boards, and serving pieces. They don’t take up much room, which makes them perfect for tucking into a small or shallow space.

While having plenty of storage to tuck away things you use is a luxury, I love displaying pretty items that are also used regularly in my home! It can be so convenient and practical. But of course it also makes the sense that any

Pleated Lampshades (see more pleated lampshades here)

Do you get the winter blues? It’s hard to keep spirits up in January. Winter here in our coastal pocket of the NW isn’t nearly as miserable as it is in some areas of the country, so I’m grateful for that. But we have more gray, chilly and rainy days than I would choose.

Dark cold months and short days are depressing, especially when they don’t seem to end. Even worse, it’s hard if you tend to get sick in the

Do you Suffer from Instagram Worthy-itis? (What It Means to Create a Sanctuary)

Do you Suffer from Instagram Worthy-itis? (What It Means to Create a Sanctuary)

Sixteen years ago I coined a phrase, Magazine Cover-itis which described (all in fun) an affliction many who love design and decorating our homes could relate to at some level.

A healthy pursuit of inspiration, along with a desire to create and be surrounded by meaningful beauty in our homes can be so beneficial for our well-being.
