Tranquil Retreat – Kitchen & Bath Design News

Posted on 02/09/2025

Personal health and wellness are a rising priority, creating demand for luxury, custom features and exquisite shower design to create a spa-like oasis in the home.

“Designing spaces prioritizing well-being has never been more critical,” offers Martha Orellana, v.p. at MrSteam in Long Island City, NY.

This focus on health and wellness impacts the elements people are looking to include in their showering experiences. “As consumers seek solutions for self-care rituals and at-home spa experiences, shower fittings continue to move beyond addressing basic hygiene to providing a more elevated experience that promotes wellness and relaxation,” stresses Jean-Jacques L’Henaff, leader, LIXIL Global Design, LIXIL Americas region in Piscataway, NJ. “This includes more options for personalization like hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and steam.”

A personal retreat must be just that: personal. “Everyone is familiar with a standard shower, but we are seeing clients gravitate toward unique designs to delight the soul,” adds Clinton Cardinal, Brizo category manager, Showering for Brizo in Indianapolis, IN. “With the shower being such a necessary but personal experience, many folks are seeking designs not found in the mass market.”

“Consumers are looking to personalize their showering experience. Bringing in beauty through sculptural elements such as an architectural rain

40 Bathroom Tile Ideas For Showers, Floors, And Walls

Posted on 27/08/2025

Once upon a time, just a few years ago, all-white bathrooms seemed like the only stylish possibility for bathrooms. From the tiles to the porcelain, paint, and linens, white was the go-to. While we still love white, we’re expanding our horizons to the world of intriguing colors. These days, interior designers are opting for more unique bathroom looks. Because bathrooms are enclosed spaces, they provide an awesome opportunity for fun design featuring interesting colors, patterns, and materials. Among them, tiles can be a particularly impactful choice with seemingly endless options. Not only do you have to choose the tile material, color, and shape, but from there, you also need to decide what pattern to arrange them in. And don’t even get us started on grout.

When Laurie LeBoeuf was tasked with creating a beautiful bathroom for her client’s daughter, she delivered a stunning space with a fantastic flamingo flair.

“This particular client has a southern style and loves all things whimsical and fun with a dose of classic tradition,” says LeBoeuf, senior designer for Castle Design. “I think we were able to marry all of these elements together and give her just that.”

LeBoeuf selected a classic hexagon marble tile for the floor and used brass and acrylic hardware to accentuate the space with coordinating fixtures from Signature Hardware. Soft white and gold Generation Lighting sconces were selected to flank the oversized mirror at the soft pink vanity and created a delightfully feminine vignette. To finish it off, Leboeuf used iconic Cole & Sons flamingo print wall covering to give the space a whimsical touch.

“The aesthetic of the space was driven by a desire to capture the youth of their daughter, all while providing her with a space that she could grow into,” LeBoeuf says. “The owners of this traditional home craved materials and finishes that distinguish their home forever from others.

A range of materials and finishes tailored to individual tastes helps them create just the right combination for each homeowner.

The Best Small Bathroom Paint Colors

Posted on 24/04/2025

While functionality is the most important feature of any bathroom, with the right design elements, you can transform this room into a calming oasis. But if you’re working with limited square footage, your bathroom may feel cramped rather than relaxing. One way to make this space feel bigger is by choosing the right hue for your walls. Ahead, we’re sharing paint colors that experts say can make small bathrooms feel bigger.

Light Grey

If you’re worried about gray feeling too cold, don’t be—it can actually be a very warm and inviting hue when thoughtfully chosen. Opt for a light grey, as it’s neutral enough to create the illusion of light, which can make small bathrooms feel bigger, says Meg Piercy, the founder and owner of MegMade.

Blush Pink

Since the bathroom is such a small part of your home, it gives you the opportunity to get creative with color. If you want a subtle shade that’s far from boring, opt for blush pink. This colorful neutral is so versatile that you can pair it with essentially any other color, as you would with a true neutral, says Kathryn Emery, home improvement and lifestyle expert.

21 Walk-In Shower Ideas For Any Size Bathroom

Posted on 18/04/2025

A tub can be a gorgeous focal point in the bathroom, but a walk-in shower is a true showstopper. For bathrooms large and small, a tub-free shower is a great alternative to make a big impression. According to designers, this stand-alone option delivers powerful style and function.

“A walk-in shower can provide functional elements over a tub shower, such as dual shower heads for busy couples getting ready in the morning, enhanced safety, additional space for a larger niche or two to store shampoos and soaps, etc, and a bench seat,” says designer Susan Sutter. “Walk-in showers also provide more beauty and style than a tub shower with opportunities to use fun tile pairings on the shower floor, niche accent, and wall tile.”

Susan Sutter is the principal designer of Susan Sutter Interiors, a boutique design firm in Arlington, Virginia.
Paige Goodloe is the principal designer of Paige Goodloe Interiors in Atlanta, Georgia.

In fact, designer Paige Goodloe says that she encourages clients to choose a walk-in shower over a tub shower in most situations. While she insists on one tub per household—to wash kids—, walk-in showers

Posted on 13/04/2025

COOPERSBURG, PA — A vast majority of US homeowners say that quality lighting is important to the design of their home, with most reporting that lighting “is one of their most important design choices,” according to a Harris Poll survey conducted on behalf of Lutron Electronics, a major supplier of lighting, control and automated shading solutions.

According to Lutron, the first-of-its-kind poll “signals the growing demand for modern, high-quality lighting solutions” that supports the role of lighting in everything from wellness and sleep routines, to creating ambiance, connecting to nature, incorporating sustainable design elements, and informing homebuying priorities.

“Light is a fundamental element in the design of a space,” said Cecilia Ramos, senior director for the Coopersburg, PA-based Lutron. “Light brings atmosphere and can enhance not only the aesthetic of a home but how we look, feel and live within it.”

According to Lutron, about three quarters of surveyed US homeowners (74%) said they would not purchase a new home without “good natural light” even if the home checked the other boxes on their search.

“One of the most organic ways to support connection to nature within the home is through natural light – both sunlight as well as

Bathroom Business: OSHA’s Restroom Rules

Posted on 09/04/2025

Do you have enough toilets in your workplace? What condition are they in? Are your bathroom break policies too restrictive?

It’s important to know, because the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates the availability of and workers’ access to restroom facilities.

OSHA’s sanitation standard “is intended to ensure that employers provide employees with sanitary and available toilet facilities, so that employees will not suffer the adverse health effects that could result if toilets are not available when employees need them.” These rules ensure that all workplace bathrooms remain safe, sanitary and easily accessible. Here’s a quick rundown:

Availability

Toilet facilities must be available at every work site, with mobile worksites being the exception. Employees in mobile work crews must have transportation readily available to toilet facilities “nearby,” however, and agricultural workers must have toilet and hand-washing facilities within a quarter-mile of the work site.

Employees must have reasonable access to a bathroom facility. According to an April 6, 1998, OSHA memorandum, the standard mandates that “employers allow employees prompt access to bathroom facilities,” and that “restrictions on access must be reasonable, and may not cause extended delays.” Employers should also carefully consider restrictions for employees with certain medical
