Five simple ways to update your bathroom’s style(BPT) - Do you have a bathroom

that’s starting to look a little dated and drab, but perhaps doesn’t need a complete remodel? If you’re craving a change, you can update the space’s style with a few strategic steps. Not only will you elevate the appearance of your bathroom, but you’ll be boosting your home’s value as well.

Here are five ideas for updating your bathroom space with fashion and function in mind:

FLOORING REPLACEMENT

The floor in your bathroom gets used and abused, with frequent foot traffic as well as moisture from baths and showers. Replacing the flooring gives the space a noticeable face-lift. New tile is always a great choice for the bathroom, with options in virtually every shade, so you can select a new color palette if you please. Add a heated floor element to give the space upscale appeal. Not into tile? An alternative is

luxury vinyl flooring that gives the illusion of wood but with better durability.

VANITY UPGRADES

Your vanity is a main focal point of the bathroom, but replacing the entire unit is costly and difficult. One way to update a vanity is to replace the top portion with a durable material, such as granite, quartz, marble or concrete. This

EXPERTSCall thecan change the entire look of the vanity and update it with modern style. Want to go one step further? Consider updating the hardware as well. By replacing the handles and knobs you are enhancing the look of the piece while adding to the overall aesthetic of the room.

MIRROR AND LIGHTING

One of the hottest trends in bathroom design right now is lighted mirrors, adding both elegance and function to a bathroom. Upgrade your mirror to a new Sunfield Lighted Mirror from Sterling Plumbing and you’ll enjoy natural, purposeful lighting in a sleek design. Sunfield lighted mirrors create a flood of natural light from the perimeter of the mirror with a true-to-daylight Color Rendering Index (CRI)

greater than 90, providing accurate reflection and color representation. Learn more at www.sterlingplumbing.com.

SHOWER STYLE

Replacing the shower is a massive project, but if you want to update the style with less effort, replace the shower curtain or door. If you have a shower door, it can be difficult to keep the glass

clean and eliminate water deposits that build up over time. A new crystal-clear door from your local home improvement store will add a clean, updated look to the space. If you have a curtain, swap out old material for one in a fresh hue that evokes just the right feel for the space.

LINENS AND RUGS

Last but not least, to update the

style of your bathroom space, don’t forget about fresh linens. New hand towels, bath towels, rugs and more in a coordinating color will update the visual appearance of the room in an instant. Simply swap out new for old and you’ll not only love the look, but there’s something luxurious about wrapping yourself up in a fresh plush towel after a long bath or shower.

EXPERTSCall theSophisticated kitchen design for a stately aesthetic

(BPT) - A balanced aesthetic across styles creates a truly sophisticated kitchen design. Bring this concept to life with contemporary nuances that complete a space and complement an overall traditional tone. From spatial layout to thoughtful fittings, merge design influences to elevate the heart of the home and achieve an altogether stately elegance.

CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC

Embrace classicism while maintaining a modern overtone and celebrate the kitchen as a true focal point with an open concept, removing barriers to free the space and framing it with a wide archway trimmed with intricate crown molding. With an eye for pragmatism, add bold design elements. Consider a custom-built kitchen island with integrated plush, tufted velvet bench seating for an air of stately elegance, or a bespoke canopy that conceals the range hood while making a

structural statement. Ground the aesthetic in darker tones, such as a deep Aegean blue or juniper green for a rich and dignified quality, and offset with contemporary components, such as deep-veined marble countertops or unexpected skylight windows.

EXQUISITELY BALANCED

Balance is key in sophisticated kitchen design, whether referring to spatial balance or the perfect blend of form and function. Make calculated design choices to anchor the room. For instance, book-match marble countertops for symmetrical impact, creating a strikingly beautiful center point, or further institute the equilibrium and crown the room with a tiered-ring chandelier directly above. Meanwhile, consider dark maple or walnut chevron floors to provide a warm elegance and classic foundation for contrast.

EXPERTSCall theELEGANT CRAFTSMANSHIP

To achieve a true sense of stately luxury, incorporate elements of craftsmanship and customization throughout the kitchen. Integrate panel-ready appliances to streamline the aesthetic and seamlessly unify the room with Shaker-style cabinetry, or recall the architecture of classic hardware with the Rook Kitchen Collection by Brizo. Providing a sense of visual intrigue, the newly configured Articulating Bridge Faucet adds a layer of refined sophistication for an elevated kitchen space. Carry craftsman style through even the seemingly minute details and select artisanal accessories, from coordinating drawer pulls and cabinet handles within the Rook Kitchen Collection, to a hammered, copper-framed mirror for a harmonious design.

DIGNIFIED DETAILS

Complete the space with accent

elements to culminate a sophisticated look and feel, identifying finishing touches that take the design beyond the expected. Ground the kitchen island with hand-carved,

understated corbels to augment a classic aesthetic, or modernize the space with an antiqued mirror tile backsplash next to a quartered, swept head window for the perfect juxtaposition of forward-thinking

traditionalism. As a space is coming together, contemplate subtle yet distinguishing enhancements. Place a light, white oak backing inside kitchen cabinetry and showcase the grain

through bubble-glass doors, or take a creative approach to lighting and integrate floor fixtures for a soft, unexpected glow to elevate the overall kitchen experience.

EXPERTSCall theThe best home improvements:High-impact, low-maintenance

Yes, everyone knows making home improvements is a worthy investment in your greatest material asset. Sure you want every improvement job done well with top-notch end results. But when all is said and done, do you really want to have to put a lot of effort and money into maintaining those improvements? For most people - whether they’ll admit it or not - the answer is “no.”

The best home improvements are the ones that not only enhance your home’s value and livability, but also require little work from you afterward to keep them looking great and functioning well. If you’re looking for high-impact, low-maintenance home improvements, consider these popular projects:

No-leak skylightsWhen it comes to an

improvement that brightens your home, enhances its indoor air quality and boosts energy-efficiency, skylights deliver.

Unfortunately, early skylights had a reputation for being leaky - a problem that simply doesn’t occur with modern, no leak, energy-efficient skylights like those made by Velux America. Pre-engineered flashing kits (the metal shield that surrounds any opening in a wall or roof) work with all types of roofs, from shingles to metal, to ensure a properly installed skylight won’t leak.

Need further low-maintenance points to make the case for adding a skylight? Not only do modern skylights keep water out, they’re energy efficient as well. Energy Star-qualified, no leak solar-powered fresh air skylights, deliver fresh air through cost-effective passive ventilation. Adding remote-controlled, solar-powered blinds allows you to easily open or close a fresh air skylight and shade it when the sun hits that part of the roof, boosting the skylight’s energy efficiency by 39 percent. Keep the shade

open during cold weather to admit warmth and reduce heating costs. A 30 percent federal tax credit on both products and installation costs makes a skylight project even more appealing.

Lighting upgrade

Older light fixtures not only look dated, they often use outdated, inefficient bulbs and are lacking in the energy-efficient emphasis that comes with newer fixtures. Upgrading lighting throughout your home is a great way to ensure you won’t have to

think about it again any time soon.

If a total lighting redesign is out of the question, you can still make your existing light fixtures lower maintenance simply by swapping
