Bathroom's with a fun twist.

FREE IMAGES

Most bathrooms in a home are just your average bathroom with a touch of paint or wallpaper and maybe an updated mirror. Here are a few that are anything but traditional!

To me this says, masculine doesn't have to be boring!

The benefits of a great rug!

There are so many benefits to a great rug.

It adds a layer to your decor. Some of us love layers!

via apartmenttherapy

They reduce the noise in the room. Rugs absorb noise so your room won't echo as much.

via apartmenttherapy

It's a great way to add color to a neutral room!

via ensuus

It adds comfort to those who prefer carpet instead of hardwood.

via apartmenttherapy

It is personal. There are so many rug options, you can get one that fits your style perfectly.

It makes you feel at home.

Why do you love rugs?

Finding Balance in your Home Decor

FREE IMAGES

Whether it's clutter to clean, natural to color, or even the furniture in the home. Finding a good balance is key.

In an open floor plan it's not just about one room. You want to have balance throughout the space.

Balancing textures in your decor is a great way to add layer to your home without adding clutter!

If you enjoy neutrals more, you might consider balancing it out with silver or gold items.

Adding some balance with height is also a great option!

It may take a few tries before you find the right balance you like.

Black & White Bathrooms

FREE IMAGES

Today I am embracing a little black and white. I tend to shy away from the darker colors but here is some inspiration that is proving that a little dark never hurt anyone:

via dulux

When using black and dark colors, I think it's great to mix it with some bold bright as well to even it out and give natural light a chance to brighten up the room.

via apartmenttherapy

I've always been a fan of a gorgeous tub, but this black on white tub trend is really starting to catch my eye!

via hgtv

There's something timeless about black and white, and it's a great gender neutral bathroom as well!

via apartmenttherapy

Again the lovely black and white tub and some gorgeous tile!

Would you go black and white in your bathroom?

Open Concept Love

FREE IMAGES Yesterday 3 walls in our house were taken down.  Our kitchen, living, and dining room will not all be one great room.  I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait to start setting up our new space.

In the meantime, I've been gathering all the inspiration I can for open concept layouts.  Here are some of my favorites.

Adding a Bench Seat

FREE IMAGES

With the cold weather coming, I've been in the mood to cuddle up around the house and have been looking for new spaces to find where I can have some sunshine and relax a little.

via houseofturquoise

These bench seats right by windows really give you a great view of the outdoors without having to go outside! 

via bhg

They also make great places to read books and take a quick nap.

via homebunch

I always wished I had places like these to do homework and hang out when I was a kid. 

via chiccoastalliving

I love how creative some of these spaces are, even if you don't think you have room for one, you might be surprised!

via buzzfeed

They don't require a lot of space and can double as storage as well. 

Going Modern in the Bathroom

FREE IMAGES Most would assume that going modern in a bathroom would make it look even more cold and sterile than it already does, but they haven't seen all the options yet!

via decoist

The right lighting can make any room feel warm and plants get it a fresh look that bring a sense of comfort and color to the room.

via bhg

Using neutral colors along with the modern materials can give it that warm feeling you are looking for paired with some great mirrors makes it even brighter. I love that tile!

via hepock

Even with the darker tones for a more manly bathroom doesn't have to look cold and miserable. It still looks modern and sleek with a hint of color and I love it! 

There are some great vanity and shower tub options that are on Modern Bath that can help you match these looks.

via smittenstudioonline

You could even mix the modern with the vintage for a completely different look! It's a great mix of new and old that comes to life when it's together.

Luscious Neutral Spaces

FREE IMAGES I think everyone can agree that there is definitely elegance in simplicity. Simplicity can by reflected by your decor, textiles, or in the examples below, through a restrained use of color.

White & Wood

FREE IMAGES Although I have a love for a white crisp room, sometimes too much white can feel bland. So to add on to my love of white and neutrals, here's a great idea to give white rooms a little more character without taking away from the white.

Natural wood really adds some character to the white without taking away from the crisp clean look!

Wallpaper I Wouldn't Mind Having

FREE IMAGES The trends of wallpaper come and go but there are some styles that I feel like stick around really well and I could imagine having in my own home:

If the pattern is busy, I'd say go with a neutral color way or only one wall.
via Pinterest via BHG

Classic patterns, like the diamonds above or the stripes below, are a surefire and chic way to go.
via Pinterest via Apartment Therapy

via thedecorista

Going with neutral colors or a simple print like stripes is a great choice for something that can last a a long time in a home and potentially resell just fine!

via Pinterest via Real Simple

Prints that seem to stick around are another option. There are always those few that don't seem to ever go out of style. Floral trellises are one example.

via pinterest

If you know you are going to be in the home you are in go with something you love! My suggestion would be to pick something you know you will still love years down the road, like a print you've always adored, since changing up wallpaper isn't as easy.

Have fun with it, because after all - it is your home!
