Take advantage of a nook created by existing his-and-hers closets to add a sunny seat. Paneling on this seat's base makes it a focal point in the room, while a lavender cushion and throw pillows echo the wall color.

7 #NaturalStones For Your #BathroomRemodel

There’s no other material quite like natural stone. No two pieces are exactly alike, and nothing else adds the same organic warmth and texture to a bathroom. Not to mention the longevity. If they’re well maintained, your stone surfaces can last a lifetime.

Marble, of course, has been a popular stone choice for luxurious interiors for centuries based on its inherent beauty. But while Carrara and Calacatta remain classics, they have their downsides, and they aren’t your only options. Here are seven other natural stone varieties, each with its own unique characteristics and strengths, worth considering for your bathroom floors, countertops and walls.

#TropicalFlavor With #Wicker #Rattan

Think you know the difference between wicker and rattan? Well, the truth is, they often are one and the same. Rattan is a plant material harvested from palm fronds to create a grassy, classic design essential. Wicker is a woven material made from natural or natural-looking fibers (often made of rattan, but not always) that you may associate with South Beach or Grandma’s cottage. Either way, these two material choices can give you sophisticated tropical style all year round.
