It's all about the Tub!

What started with the ever classic claw foot tub has now transformed new shapes, sizes and styles of free standing, soaker tubs to the world of design. A great soaker tub is an essential for all homes. Not only is it a luxurious experience in your own home but it is a stunning piece of furniture that lends itself to great design.
 From square to oval, free standing tubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suite the needs of the space and the client.
To add glitz and glam to your tub, faucets can be the perfect accessory. From a traditional shining chrome, wall mounted faucet to a contemporary, muted, brushed nickel floor mounted faucet and hose, there are endless possibilities that will add the perfect touch to your free standing tub.
Remember to consider the design style you would like to achieve when selecting the tub to ensure you will enhance the overall look and feel of your bathroom retreat!

Graphic Photo Walls


What better way to bring love into your home then to create a photo wall with images of your loved ones and favorite memories. The visual effect that multiple picture frames create when hung in a geometric pattern will create a statement, focal wall! 




There is a trick to hanging your frames perfectly, without putting too many holes in your walls. First, lay out your frames on your floor in the ideal pattern that maximizes your wall space. Measure the center of your wall and start with the frame in the center and bottom of your pattern. Work your way out from the center and then move onto the next row. 

By using different sized frames it creates a unique pattern. Remember, to create interest mix up the frame sizes and colours. Have fun with this project!

DESIGN OF THE WEEK

CLEAN LINES WITH RUSTIC ELEMENTS



Marble countertops, shaker cabinetry and white paint make up this clean lined kitchen, but add reclaimed beams, floating shelves and iron to the mix and we have a stunning juxtaposition of materials and design styles. One of my favorite elements in this design is the subtle chevron, wood floor!

pattern, pattern, pattern

There is nothing better than adding a pop to any room with a striking pattern. Here are a few easy ways to add pattern to your space!

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is one of my favorite ways to add a beautiful pattern! Choose a bold pattern that will create a statement in your room.





Tile

To make a subtle statement, select a plain tile and lay it in a unique way, such as the herringbone subway tile!











Accessories & Fabrics


Add pattern with accessories, rugs, pillows and curtains to add a pop that can easily be changed out! Don't be afraid of layering patterns! The more patterns, the more interest.
