We all make mistakes – sometimes without even knowing it. If your home’s feeling dated and you don’t know why, these fixes will help you to bring your home out of the past.

Mistake #1: All grey interiors

Once the height of interior fashion, all grey interiors have fallen in popularity. Now, they’re more often seen as devoid of personality and boring. 

The Fix: Go bold

Bold colors are in! Tired of boring exteriors, homeowners are adding life and color to their homes. If a solid, bold color feels intimidating, try painting a single feature wall or hanging a large, graphic art piece instead!

 

Mistake #2: All tan exteriors

If you’re missing contrast, you’re missing out. For a long time, realtors and home builders encouraged clients to choose “safe” colors, but what we’ve ended up with is rows of dirt-colored homes that look like they’re lost in time.

The Fix: A bit of paint goes a long way

The easiest way to spruce up the exterior color of your home is to paint it – but that’s a pretty big undertaking. If a full paint job isn’t your idea of a good time, try painting your door to add a pop of color.

 

Mistake #3: Glass blocks in the bathroom

Wildly popular in the ‘90s, glass blocks were originally used to let light in without sacrificing privacy. But, they ended up being a trend that didn’t last. 

The Fix: Privacy glass

Many modern bathrooms use simple clear glass in the shower, but if you’d rather shower in private, go for patterned, frosted, or etched glass. This glass comes in a variety of “levels” – so you can find one that will meet your privacy requirements without having to resort to bulky glass blocks.

 

Mistake #4: Marble or tile countertops

In the 80s and 90s, marble countertops were often the go-to luxury choice, but it’s impractical in the kitchen because it scratches and stains easily. Today, marble countertops tend to feel over-the-top and dated. Tile countertops were also a popular budget option, but similarly, they are a nightmare in the kitchen – the grout is porous and impossible to keep sanitary and clean, and the individual tiles can crack if exposed to heat. Both of these countertop materials will make your home feel dated.

The Fix: Modern materials

The best option is to replace them with a more modern material like quartz or granite. If that’s not in the budget, or if you’re renting, you can also try covering dated countertops with a laminate sheet.

 

Mistake #5: Mirrored closet doors

This 1980s staple was a must for making spaces feel larger, but in today’s design world it often feels more tacky than tasteful. 

The Fix: Freestanding mirror

If you still need a place to check your ‘fit before you leave your room, instead opt for a freestanding or leaner mirror. 

 

Mistake #6: Crammed closets

Staying by the closet for a minute, another thing that can make your home feel dated is a crammed closet. It’s a disorganized mess that leaves you wondering how long ago the collecting started.

The Fix: Donate and Organize

In a world where we’ve forgotten how to reuse rather than replace, our closets are easily cluttered by the redundant and obsolete. It’s an issue so far spread that there are hundreds of books written about it, and we have entire stores dedicated to helping us organize our homes. 

First, go through and donate anything you haven’t worn in a year. Second, invest in smart space-saving closet organizers that fit your needs. If you’re feeling fancy, try adding some LED string or puck lights inside shelves or over collections. It might take a weekend (or two, or three), but that’s what it takes to bring your stuck-in-the-past closet back into today’s world.

 

Mistake #7: Outdated appliances

Listen, appliances can be pricey, and sometimes it’s better to stick with the devil you know. We get it. But it doesn’t change the fact that your dated microwave oven combo is tethering your home to the past.

The Fix: In with the new

Replacing a large, dated appliance with a modern version makes a huge impact on the entire space. (We’ve also seen some pretty cool things done with a bit of paint or contact paper for the DIY-inclined.) 

 

Mistake #8: Builder-grade light fixtures

When you buy a home, there are often little surprises that come up. “It came with the house” is cute when it’s unexpected lilies and crocuses in the spring… not so much when it’s the flush-mount dome lights, less affectionately nicknamed “boob lights”. 

The Fix: Swap it out

Swapping out one light fixture for another is usually an easy, beginner-level DIY. Stop in at a local lighting showroom (you’ll find better quality lights for the same price as a hardware store), choose one you love, and bing bam boom you’re back in the modern age.

 

Mistake #9: Relying solely on a single ceiling light

Ceiling lights are great – they give off ambient light for an entire room. But… if that’s your only light source then your room is likely to have dim and dingy corners that pull the design down.

The Fix: Add a lamp

Light Layering is a big deal in the design world. Whether it’s a floor lamp, table lamp, or even a wall-mounted sconce, adding another layer or two of light will do magical things for your space. 

 

Mistake #10: Exposed and cluttered cords

Nothing screams “my home was designed before the modern age” like draped or messy bundles of cords. 

The Fix: Cable management

There are so many options to help manage your messy cords. From peel-and-stick cord hooks to spiral cable wrap, to hook and loop tape on the back of a power strip, to flat plugs that fit behind furniture, there’s a solution for every problem if you just take a minute to look for it. 

 

Mistake #11: Cluttered bedside 

We’re too far into this modern age to be dealing with a messy bedside table and nowhere to charge a phone.

The Fix: Multi-purpose lamp

Gone are the days of diving under the bed, knocking things off your nightstand, looking for a phone cord. Lamps with USB charging ports come in a huge range of styles, and make it easy for you to plug in your phone at the end of the day. They’re also a great option for guest rooms – no one likes to beg a forgotten charger block off their host.

 

Mistake #12: Wood paneling

All the rage in the 70s, wood paneling has plagued home buyers for decades ever since. 

The Fix: A modern take

If you love the look and feel of natural wood in a space, you can still have it! There are plenty of modern takes on this design, including acoustic wood paneling that does double duty – giving you a natural design element and dampening the sound in the room.

 

Mistake #13: Old (or nonexistent) patio lights

If your outdoor space is poorly lit, or lit by old fixtures, it’s a great way to make it feel older and less cared for than it actually is. Lighting matters!

The Fix: String lights

It’s such a simple fix there’s no surprise at all at how popular string lights have become. Add a few connected strands to your outdoor space to make it feel cozy and comfortable. 

 

Mistake #14: Poor exterior lights

For so many, the exterior lights on their home are an afterthought. Over time, exterior lights can be sun-faded or scratched from years in the elements, and they can make your home feel unkempt. Similarly, too-dim light fixtures can make your home feel dark, dingy, and dilapidated.

The Fix: Better fixtures

Whether your exterior lights are dingy or dim (or both), replacing them is one of THE easiest ways to give your home an instant facelift. While you can hire an electrician to do this for you, this is an easy project for most homeowners when the fixtures are easily accessible.

 

Mistake #15: Weeds

It doesn’t matter how well you care for your home on the inside, if the first impression says “I haven’t been cared for in a while” then it’ll make your whole home feed dated. 

The Fix: A little elbow grease

Whether you do it yourself or hire it out, keeping your front yard looking well-kept will make your entire home feel up-to-date. 

 

Mistake #16: Obvious fake plants

We get it – taking care of plants isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. And we’re not here to throw shade at anyone that uses artificial plants to bring life to the inside (or outside) of their home. But – if you’re using fake plants that LOOK fake, then you’re more likely to remind guests of their Great Aunt Marjorie than be complemented on your decor.

The Fix: Invest in quality artificial plants

There are incredible options available for artificial plants that look lifelike. It’s worth it to focus on quality over quantity and invest in artificial plants that will look great for years to come.

 

Mistake #17: Old throw pillows

We love a good throw pillow. It brightens a space and gives a comfy touch or personality. What we don’t love is a dated or dingy throw pillow. 

The Fix: Replace or recover

The throw pillow world is your oyster – with a new pillow cover you can say goodbye to your dated pillows and hello to your new space. If your pillows are dingy and don’t come clean in the wash, we’re sorry but it’s time to say goodbye and start fresh. 

 

Mistake #18: Cluttered home office

We’re not judging you if you close and lock the door to your office when guests come over. We’ve all been there. But a cluttered office can make your home feel less than – and for many people working in a cluttered space can make it harder to concentrate.

The Fix: Add functional storage

We’re not here to tell the work-at-home artists to put their stuff away, but we do believe in the power of great storage to make a space easier to use. When the things you aren’t using are out of the way, you have more room to work and fewer distractions. And… maybe it’ll be okay for your friend to peek their head in and say hello.

 

Mistake #19: Ugly organizers

Sometimes when we start organizing, it’s tempting to buy the cheap fixes that look, well, awful. They’re a great way to get started, but if your regular-use organizers are all function, no design (dated coat rack, cheap plastic over-the-door shoe organizer or spice rack, dented fabric bins, etc.) then they might be bringing down your home’s design. 

The Fix: Organize with design in mind

There is no shortage of organizers on the market, and no matter which place in your home needs one, you’re sure to be able to find something that both works and looks good. Take your time and swap them out one by one, or buy a whole system that matches. Any way you do it – you’re sure to make your home feel fresh again.

 

Mistake #20: Popcorn ceilings

It’s no secret that popcorn ceilings are almost universally disliked. Aside from the less-than-aesthetically pleasing appearance, popcorn ceilings from before the 1980s (and some into the ‘80s) often contain asbestos, making them a health hazard if they are damaged or disturbed. 

The Fix: Remove or cover

The best way to fix popcorn ceilings is to have them professionally removed, and then refinish your ceilings. For a more economical option, some homeowners opt to cover them with faux ceiling tiles instead.  

 

Mistake #21: Old wallpaper designs

Whether it’s a tiny pattern or a dated border, old wallpaper can make you entire home feel dated – no matter how well you’ve decorated around it. 

The Fix: Modern wallpaper

For a while, wallpaper was almost a dirty word in the design world. But we’ve recovered from our overreaction and are back to loving wallpaper – in modern prints of course. 

 

Mistake #22: Weak sink and shower fixtures

It doesn’t matter how well cared for they are, if your sink and shower fixtures leave you dreaming of waterfalls and firehoses… then they aren’t doing you or your home any favors.

The Fix: Swap it out

A quality faucet or showerhead can make your entire bathroom (or kitchen) feel new again. Swapping them out is a relatively basic home improvement project that most people can tackle on their own – and it’s often renter-friendly, just put the original fixture back on before you move out.

 

Mistake #23: Chaos pantry

Your pantry doesn’t have to be social media ready at all times (especially if you have kids), but if your pantry is perpetually overstuffed and disorganized, it can make your kitchen feel dingy and dated (not to mention it makes it harder to find a midnight snack).

The Fix: Add a few organizers 

We’re not suggesting that you go out and buy a bulk set of glass containers and a label maker (although more power to you if you do), but there are plenty of simple and affordable ways to create more usable space in a pantry, like adding a small freestanding shelf or an undershelf basket. 

 

Mistake #24: Old or dingy cabinet handles

We see and use our cabinet handles all the time, so it’s easy to forget how much they impact the way a room feels. If you’re less-than-thrilled every time you need to open a cabinet door or drawer, your kitchen or bathroom hardware may be making your home feel older than it really is.

The Fix: Replace them with handles you love

Replacing the handles on your cabinets is so simple. New knobs and pulls come in a huge variety of styles and colors, so feel free to go a little wild if you want – they’re easy to swap out again later if you change your mind.

 

Mistake #25: Tired Doorknobs

Doorknobs aren’t hard to replace, but most homeowners choose not to. This often means that your home’s doorknobs end up staying in the past… and taking your home with them. You might not even realize it’s happened – just like the cabinet knobs above, we often forget to really see them after a while.

The Fix: New knobs

New doorknobs may seem like a subtle change – but they’ll make a big impact on the way your home feels. 

 

Mistake #26: Not repairing wall damage

A few small dings here and there aren’t a huge deal, but if you leave large dents and holes in your walls or trim unattended they will start to make your home feel run-down. 

The Fix: Wall repair kit

Depending on the size of your hole, you might be able to get away with just some spackle and a putty knife, but larger holes need a bit more support. Wall repair kits are cheap, and there are hundreds of helpful YouTube videos that can you walk you through the repair. It’s usually a quick fix – minus drying time.

 

Mistake #27: Torch lamps

Once widely popular, torch lamps are known to many now simply as bug graveyards. While there’s nothing inherently bad about them – they often just feel dated, and they really are hard to keep clean between the dust and the dead bugs that build up in the shade.

The Fix: Modern lamp

There really are thousands of styles to choose from – and just about any style that doesn’t collect bugs in its free time should be an improvement. A quality, modern lamp completely transforms a space in two ways – in the style of the lamp itself, and in the light it shines on your space.  

 

Mistake #28: Heavy drapes and old blinds

Unless you’re heart is set in the 70s and you love a hefty thick fringe, heavy drapes can weigh down a room, making it feel dated. Likewise, old blinds can make a room feel dingy… and nobody wants that. 

The Fix: Modern window treatments

Curtains aren’t off the table – and neither is fringe! If you love a good statement curtain moment, there are plenty of modern alternatives that will breathe fresh life into your space. Modern blinds come in a wide variety of styles, and are much easier to replace than most people think. Many blinds come in standard widths, and most stores will cut them to size for you when you purchase them to get the right fit. 

 

Mistake #29: Analog thermostat

If your thermostat looks like it was installed before Apple went big, it’s time for an upgrade. 

The Fix: Smart thermostat

A smart thermostat will do a much better job of accurately maintaining your home’s temperature, which will help you save money on your utility bills. It will also look much nicer on your wall – which is a huge plus.

 

Mistake #30: Low-quality lights

In the age of online shopping, it’s so easy to search for a fixture, sort by price, and buy the cheapest thing you see without considering the quality. What you get may look good for a moment, but low-quality fixtures always chip or break, and they’ll make your home look outdated until they’re replaced.

The Fix: Ask an expert

When it comes to home lighting, you’re way better off checking in at a local showroom than heading to a big-box chain store. Showroom owners are choosy about which brands they carry, and have years of specialized experience in lighting that they can use to help you find what you need. 

 

Some people place lighting showrooms in the same category as boutique shopping, expensive and questionable – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When you shop at a showroom you’ll find similar styles and prices you’d find elsewhere – without the buyers’ remorse. If you’re looking to update your home, stop by our showroom and ask one of our experts. We’ll help you narrow down your options and give you insider tips – and most importantly, send you home with exactly what you’re looking for.

 

Designing a home that will stand the test of time is an opportunity to create something that will last – beyond fleeting trends, changing styles, and ever-evolving tastes. It involves thoughtful consideration of how each element contributes to the whole design! By choosing simple, elegant, and balanced pieces, you can create a room that will be a sanctuary apart from the whims of a world in perpetual motion.

Keep It Simple

Embracing simplicity is the key to a home that will survive the passing trends. Sticking to the basics will ensure your design won’t be outdated as soon as you finish it! Pick classic patterns, a neutral color palette, and stick to finishes that will pass the test of time. Remember, less is more in a timeless home!

Use a Neutral Color Palette

Neutrals provide a base that will complement the trends of any era. Choosing a neutral color palette is the safest bet if you don’t want to frequently repaint or re-furnish your home, but still want to keep it looking fresh and up-to-date! 

This does not mean you have to go beige head to toe – if you’re a color-lover, consider adding bright elements in the artwork and other easily-replaceable accessories like pillows, rugs, lamps, drapes, etc. Then it’s an easy swap when you’re ready for a style change!

This home’s neutral color palette is sure to withstand any style changes that are thrown at it! From floor to ceiling, this space speaks elegance. The houseplants add a pop of life and color, and there’s plenty of room to add more personal touches. We love the way the table lamp mirrors the arched windows and adds interest with a metallic bronze finish. Lamps are a smart way to add a touch of trendy because they’re easy to move to a different location or replace as styles evolve!

Stick to Classic Patterns

Some patterns belong in the past while others seem to persist through the generations! When you’re adding visual interest, pick classic patterns instead of the current trends. Florals, stripes, damask, and some plaids are generally a safe choice.

This nook exudes a vintage feel without any out-of-date vibes. The floral patterns on the chair and wallpaper have been proven through the generations – they’re here to stay! We also love a lamp-shaded wall sconce like this one. Choosing a traditional shape means that even if you change out the furniture and/or accessories, your light fixture can still look fresh.

Finish Up With Finishes

When you’re designing a timeless home, lighting finishes can either bring your design into the current era (but may need to be replaced before long) or they can be an element that endures. Choosing the wrong finish can detract from the ultimate purpose of the design: transcending fads and remaining appealing throughout the years.

This home is ageless, but has elements to bring it into the present. The open space makes it a blank canvas to work with any design era. The gold hardware and light fixtures speak to the current trends and modernize the space. Even in a timeless design, it’s important to pick a few things you love – even if they might need to be replaced later. If you’re looking for something that will last, opt for crystal, nickel, or another classic finish.

Pro Tip: It’s also important to consider the style of your home. For example, ornate cabinet knobs may feel trendy in a sleek, modern kitchen, but will feel timeless in a historic home.

Use Natural Materials

Throughout every style era, the timelessness of nature continues to inspire beautiful designs. Whether it’s in the home’s architecture (wood accents, stone details, or tiles) or in the accessories (indoor plants, ceramics, and other accessories), natural elements will inevitably show up somewhere in every home. Finding ways to include natural materials in your home will keep your design current and beautiful for years to come!

This bathroom’s repeated warm wood accents tie this design together seamlessly. From the dresser to the vanity, the room feels cohesive and ageless. We always love a pendant vanity light, but we especially love this one for a timeless look! Its classic shape and color are bound to blend in with any trend – just change out a few of the countertop accessories and you’ll have a brand-new design without spending a fortune. 

Quality Over Quantity

When you’re wanting a design that lasts, durability has to be a big consideration. Investing in quality fixtures and furniture will bring you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you won’t need to spend more money later on repairs or replacements. Focus your efforts on building a core collection that will last, then you’ll have the time and budget to indulge in a trend here and there as you find things you love.

This kitchen is the perfect example of how a light fixture can completely transform a space! This white and grey kitchen needed a focal point, and this fixture delivers! The design of the fixture is classic take on crystal chandeliers, and it’ll last beyond trend shifts. Choosing a quality, classic light that makes you happy is a great way to ensure that you’ll love your lighting through the trends for years to come.

Focus on Functionality

A well-designed space that serves the people living there is more likely to remain relevant over time and can adapt to changing circumstances. Unlike trends that come and go, functional design focuses on design principles that transcend temporary styles..

Even the most gorgeous bathroom will feel outdated if usability isn’t considered first. A bathroom is one of the most vital rooms in the house, so it should be functional! It’s where you care for yourself and ensure you’re at your best. 

This stunning bathroom takes functionality to the next level, and maximizes a space with difficult proportions. This awkward space feels bright and open thanks to a focus on functional design. Placing the toilet under the low part of the ceiling maximizes the functionality of an otherwise unusable space. The vanity’s open design helps to make the room feel bigger, and it still packs plenty of storage with a pair of wide drawers. 

The light in this room has been cleverly layered with a functional and beautiful fixture over the vanity, and accent lighting behind the wooden panel that helps trick the eye into thinking the space is larger than it is. Taking the mirror all the way up and over maximizes usable mirror space (no more fighting for face time) while also reflecting the light and making the space feel larger. With it all put together, this angled ceiling feels more like a design feature rather than a space-stealer. 

Incorporate Your Style

No matter the room, the impact of the design will fall flat if you fail to add some personal touches! This isn’t simply a space to be lived in for years – it’s also a home to make memories in and find joy in. Build a base that will transcend trends, then mindfully select more modern pieces, knowing that you may want to update them throughout the years to maintain relevance.

This space is the perfect example of building a timeless base, then adding personal touches. The neutral colors and clean lines of the furniture, floors, and built-ins speak to timelessness, but the light fixtures are modern and on trend. Lamps and pendants (or just the shades) are fairly simple to replace, but without them this design wouldn’t be complete! 

The personal touches here are to die for. We love how this asymmetrical design uses different nightstands and lights, but still manages to maintain cohesiveness. Also peep all the accent lighting in this room – from the ceiling and walls to the built-ins, the lighting in this space packs a punch!

When you put love and effort into a space, you’ll want to enjoy it with your loved ones for many years to come. From impromptu living room dances to enjoying meals together, your focus should be on each other – not the outdated design of your home! Our experts are ready to help you create a classic home that will still be true to you and your taste. Give Super Lite a call to get started!

Have you ever watched a television show or movie set in a time period that made you want to hop in a time machine? Opulent architecture and fabrics from the Edwardian age, bohemian vibes in the 70s, smoky dens and midcentury furniture in the 50s… they all have style aspects that are still popular in homes today. 

While you may not want to redesign your home completely in a particular period’s style, a bathroom is a small space where it’s easy to incorporate your favorite era’s designs. Let’s take a jump into the past, present, and future with some fun bathrooms that might serve as real inspiration for your own renovations!

 

 

The Gilded Age 

When more was more, the 1870s was a period full of ornate designs and a whole lot of gold. While you may choose not to go as maximalist as some of the fashionable folks of this period, oversized mirrors, sumptuous linens, and gold and glass fixtures make for a truly luxe lavatory. 

Always wanted a dramatic chandelier in your home, but felt it was too “much” in your regular living spaces? Put it in the bathroom! Feel free to experiment with gold handles, doorknobs, and towel bars – they’ll make a big impact, and they’re really easy to swap out if you change your mind down the road.

 

 

The Edwardian Era

If you’d love to trade places with the Countess of Grantham, a bathroom with touches of the Edwardian Era may be perfect for you. Rich woods, freestanding tubs, and beautifully arched architectural details were the norm of the time. 

While you probably don’t have a crew of “downstairs” staff to tend to your every need, you can still feel like an aristocrat when you install vintage-inspired fixtures that provide a warm glow.

 

 

Mid-Century

If you watched Mad Men more in awe of the décor than Don Draper, then a bathroom in a mid-century modern style is right up your alley. Tapered legs and natural wood tone vanities combine with colors like olive green, rust, soft pink, or blue. 

While you might not enjoy a 10am scotch accompaniment to your Zoom meetings, you can bring a little 50s flair into your life through bathroom decor. Choose furniture with clean lines, abstract art and fixtures, and organic shapes (like a round or oblong mirror) to really instill the room with a mid-century feel. 

 

 

The Hippie-Vibe 70s

Peace, love, and macramé! The 70s were a time of exploration, advocacy, and a laid-back design style that is experiencing a resurgence today. Beaded or woven light fixtures, fiber wall hangings, and plenty of plants help set a casual, bohemian vibe in your home. Grab some incense, pull the beaded curtain closed, and turn on some Grateful Dead for a very chill soaking session.

 

 

The 80s

The 80s were all about the party, which meant not shying away from bold colors, textures, and fixtures. Olive green bathtub? Sure! Stairs leading to an oversized Jacuzzi tub? Why not? Patterned carpet in the bathroom? Uh, ok, let’s never revisit that. 

Designers are bringing some of the 80s attitude into bathrooms again, embracing colorful toilets and tubs and saying “more is more!” Maybe you wouldn’t use teal tile in your kitchen, but a little playfulness in bathroom design never hurt anyone. In fact, one might say it’s totally rad.

Want to add a touch of (the good part of) the 80s? Consider a pink or green toilet, terrazzo tile, or a bold light fixture to bring pizzazz to a functional space. 

 

 

Turn of the Century

While teens of the Y2K era were busy covering their rooms with colorful posters and blowing up their inflatable chairs, their parents had very different ideas for the rest of the house. The 90s ushered in an era of minimalism with warm browns, satin nickel and brassy gold, and honey oak. And in the bathrooms – who could forget all of that glass block? 

For many, this era is still a little too fresh to want to do a repeat, but we think there are some great opportunities to bring the best of the Y2K bathrooms into today. For example, including warm undertones can make modern minimalist bathrooms feel more cozy and comfortable, and today’s modern light fixtures are popular in both silver and gold finishes. 

 

 

The Present

It’s fun to turn back the clock, but we have to give credit to the current era of design. We’ve kept the focus on creating a peaceful retreat, but allowed a little more life to enter the chat. Homeowners today are sticking to their natural materials and earth-toned palettes, while also finding ways to add a little bit of personality to their bathrooms using things like houseplants, wallpaper, paint, funky mirror shapes, unique light fixtures, and even colored tile to brighten up their space. 

In a home designed in the trends of the 2020s, you’ll notice twists on previous eras of style. Mid-century-inspired mirrors mingle with wood laid in herringbone patterns (a trend from the 16th century!) and hexagon tiles. Modern appliances and light fixtures are nestled in between old-world-inspired wall molding and trim. Today’s bathrooms are designed with style, health, and sustainability in mind – saving the planet while promoting wellness. 

 

 

The Future

Tech enthusiasts and aspiring space travelers, this is the bathroom for you. You’ll be amazed by the features available for bathrooms these days, from deodorizing washlets, to heated water-proof flooring, smart mirrors and smart lights to smart toilets and smart showers, and more. 

While we don’t know what the future may hold, this rendering gives us a glimpse at the possibilities! Futuristic bathroom designs tend to lean more minimalist, focusing on functionality over style – but that doesn’t mean the room needs to feel sterile. We hope to see people incorporate natural materials (and maybe a houseplant or two) to keep their homes from feeling like a bathroom on a space station. (Unless astronaut-core is the next hot trend – only time will tell!)

———————————

Whether you’re a vintage vixen or a tech maven, the bathroom is a fantastic room to incorporate more flashy or fun features that you might not choose in the rest of your home. Considering humans spend an average of 2+ years in the bathroom in their lifetimes, it’s a room worth making your own!
