What Is the Best Flooring To Use For Your Laundry Room?

Conestoga Tile Blog

Gone are the days when the laundry area in a home was relegated to a dark, damp corner of the basement, or a tiny, stuffy closet. Just as with the rest of the home, we now want our laundry room to be a visually appealing place to spend time – while also providing great function and utility. The top priority is certainly the quality of appliances you buy, but coming in strong at second on the scale of importance is the flooring.

Designing to Distraction

KB Culture

Apparently created for a cook with a tremendous ability to focus on the task at hand, this kitchen is visually overwhelming. I'd say it was finished in floor-to-ceiling tile, but that would be technically inaccurate; the ceiling is actually covered in mirrors, adding to the hallucinogenic quality of the space. But in the end, I appreciate the willingness of the designer to go all-out in the pursuit of what is inarguably a singular vision. milkdecoration.com.

Waste Cans, Many Ways

The Perfect Bath

I was inspired to start a series on bath accessories after visiting an apartment that Thomas O’Brien designed. He is a master at re-purposing objects, and the apartment had many beautiful things that might have been found in a library — great shagreen boxes, framed family pictures, and silver or ceramic cups. Much to my delight, O’Brien placed some of these items in the bath.
