Bathroom Cabinetry for 2020

2020 not only marks a new year, it marks a new decade. Along with your New Year’s resolutions, now’s the time to look at your home to see if you’re ready for a change. What’s nice is that you don’t have to search for something new. All it takes is using established styles in new ways. When it comes to bathrooms, shaker cabinets continue to work well even though the style is as old as cabinetry itself. They’re timeless because of their versatility. Here are three ways these cabinets bring new life to your bathroom. Color and contrast. For those who who currently have all-white or one-toned bathrooms, consider color cabinets to add color and contrast.  White bathrooms get definition with black shaker cabinets.  Create a nautical look with nave blue…or…simply chose your favorite color to reflect your personality. Texture. Another choice for one-color themed bathrooms is to add texture with farmhouse or rustic surfaced cabinets. It’s a way to provide definition without going outside the color scheme. Hardware. This is where shaker cabinetry is at its best. The simplicity of shaker doors allows homeowners to choose virtually any hardware they like. For example, complete the nautical bathroom with drawer pulls that resemble dock cleats. When it comes to dark cabinets, gold, chrome and brushed nickel contrast well. And you have endless options for light cabinets. Dark metals like brass, copper and iron always stand out. Light cabinets also support colorful ceramic hardware.  Shaker cabinets offer a simple palate where the hardware makes a statement.  They support all sizes but don’t hesitate to use large hardware like tubular and...

Ten Ways to Get The Most From Your Walk-In Closet

Because of their spacious accommodation, walk-in closets are favored for extensive wardrobes…and there’s no reason why they can’t have an elegance of their own. Not only are custom-designed closets beautifully detailed; they help to free up bedroom space by eliminating the need for a large dresser or chest. Check out these ten ideas that go a long way to create the closet of your dreams. Island dressers add personality and subtly create ‘his’ and ‘her’ sides but, they do require a fair amount of space. You need at least three to four feet on all four sides. If you don’t have that much room, the next best thing is a peninsula dresser. Whether you enjoy ironing or not, the closet is the most convenient place to install a pull-out ironing board. It saves steps and time and folds up to disappear when not in use. Right now, cubby holes are off-the-charts popular. When it comes to dimensions, cubbies measuring nine and a half inches wide by eight inches high house most shoe sizes and still leave room for prized heels. Jewelry cabinets with keypad locks can blend in while adding an extra layer of safety. These days it’s not unusual to hang jeans alongside of dress pants with a well-spaced pant rack. And tie racks aren’t just for ties. They hold sunglasses, wallets and cuff links - keeping these accessories together in one place. Drawer dividers add even more organization. Simply adjust them to fit your personal pieces. When it comes to purses, consider hooks. Hook rails showcase individual purses so purse swapping is a breeze. Reduce search time...
