Important elements of Powder Room Design: Sink & Faucet
Traditional style faucet or stream-lined modern faucet with coordinated finish that blends with overall design; Vessel type sinks are popular available in wide range of materials - marble, glass, stainless steel, vitreous china.

Powder Room Color:
Select a deep, dramatic hue for the walls. Don't be concerned about closing in this small space. An intense wall or ceiling color can make a dramatic impact in the room and add an element of surprise off the hallway.

Texture can also play an important role. Consider a reflective material to help lighten up the room. If you're not into bold hues, earth tones and light-colored natural materials can also help keep the space feeling open and fresh.

The powder room, while small, makes a big statement about you and your home. With a little thought and imagination, you can make sure it's speaking with your distinct voice. Just thought of this small room and some questions I have been asked before especially what paint color, flooring, countertop material, sink and faucet style. Stay tuned for design tips next time...

Since fresh air, sunlight and adequate space are already present, what you need is determination and creativity to personalize and to beautify your patio deck.
Design ideas:
Privacy – Use antique wooden or metal fence or even plant shrubs and vines to create a barrier and create some separation from your neighbors
Multi-functionality – Patio/decks also serve as an extension to your living room by adding fire pits or an extension to the kitchen by placing a barbeque grill and working table.
Appearance – As an extension to the kitchen, you can have table and chairs but to create a space to rejuvenate, place water fountains
Lighting – Consider using different intensities of light fixtures such as paper lantern, flexible outdoor lighting or embedded lighting

Why is bathroom remodeling one of the most popular home renovation projects? Because it is one of the most visited, most used rooms in the home.
Be sure to have: 1) Adequate legroom/space between fixtures, 2) Adequate lighting, 3) Adequate storage, 4) Emphasize the color scheme; use coordinating bathroom accessories, 5) add recessed shelving or compact cupboards for extra bathroom storage

Does Interior Design Affect Your Health? Author Paul White explains: If our space is dark and dingy, static and uninteresting, or cluttered and unfinished, we increase our chances of becoming depressed. It will not only affect your mental and emotional state, your physical health is at risk too. How? Depression is one of the leading causes of exhaustion, and physical pains without a physical cause, like back pain. You might think this is a stretch, but it's actually a factual statement backed by research. This is what interior design is for really and you can manipulate it in such a way that it benefits you mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Why choose bamboo flooring? - can be easily cleaned, is non-allergenic, long lasting, costs up to 50% less than conventional flooring, can be easily installed over many types of subfloor,can be nailed, floated, or glued, is environmentally friendly in that it is quickly renewable and fire resistant. However, engineered Bamboo flooring is not 100% bamboo but more durable, resists cupping with increased moisture resistance for high humidity areas.

Contemporary style offers simple, soft and uncluttered look. White, creams, light blues and accents colors like red and green add warmth. Track lighting and recessed lighting look nice. It involves clean-lines in the design of furniture. I like to blend contemporary with some conventional design features to bring in character and soften the striking clean-lines. The design features can be in the form of texture and pattern such as stack veneer stone, veneer brick, textured paint, wall covering, slate, sand-blasted glass.

White is often perceived as absence of color. I am not a big fan of white myself and I though my perception would never change. Maintenance free especially stain-resistant interior furnishings, fabrics, and wall and floor finishes….works best in any interior space and much appreciated by families with children.

I have to admit…I started to feel different about white after discovering the refreshing effect it has

refreshing effect it has on our living spaces...white walls are a good backdrop for objects d' art and paintings that are placed in the room. It awakens creativity, amplifies the effect of other colors, and highlights good architectural details. Not every white is snow white. Try using whites tinted with: ivory, cream, antique white and palest beige, blue and yellow – Benjamin Moore has over 140 whites to choose from.

Accessorize with White: Flowers, throw pillows, art, sculpture, shelves, candles, lamp shades, chandelier and much more.
