Downsizing
2. Aluminum and glass shower enclosure. Need a little something more to spruce up your shower? Don’t be afraid to be unique and try a shower surround that has flair. Created with glass panels set into an aluminum frame, this shower enclosure mimics the look of the tile in the back of the shower. The dark metal mixed with the clear glass gives the enclosure an eclectic feel.
Zimny and Kovacs most often find themselves in the living room: “Whether we are grilling, watching TV or just hanging out listening to music, the whole space really opens up and transforms. Sometimes we turn down the lights in the house, flip on the disco ball, turn on the fire pit and lounge,” Zimny says.Industrial storage coffee table: West Elm; rug: Pottery Barn; wall and trim paint: Simply White, Benjamin Moore; sectional sofa: Scandinavian Designs; ceramic wall planters: West Elm
9. Black lower cabinets + white subway tile + white floors. Increase the sense of space in a small kitchen by using black on lower cabinets, and forgo uppers in favor of open shelves installed on a glossy white subway tile wall. High-gloss finishes on cabinet fronts and tilework help maximize light.Kitchen cabinets, appliances: Ikea
6. Black counters + black grout + white tile. For such a simple, easy change, swapping out light grout in favor of dark makes a big impact — not to mention it’s easier to keep looking clean! Classic white subway tile installed in a herringbone pattern calls attention to the spaces between more than if it were laid in straight rows.
4. Sliding enclosure. Want the beauty of glass but don’t have the room for a swinging door? Try a sliding glass door, a very practical space-saving option that’s also stylish. Sliding doors can be customized to fit any style and space, and are a great way to show off your shower and still have room for other bathroom fixtures.Looking for a sliding glass door on a budget? Try a partially frameless sliding door. It will give you an airy look without breaking the bank.
