Forget Small Burgundy Accents, These Rooms Commit to the Color

Image
Burgundy has spent years appearing in interiors through cushions, rugs, and small decor, but these rooms give the deep red shade far more surface area. Walls, sofas, storage units, curtains, shelving, and upholstered beds carry the color across spaces built around dark wood, black, gray, pink, and pale timber. Recent design coverage has also put burgundy back in focus, with the shade appearing across painted rooms, cabinetry, upholstery, and lacquered finishes. The examples here show how much the result changes depending on where the color lands and which material carries it. Some rooms use one large burgundy element against a dark backdrop, while others repeat related red tones across several surfaces. Changes in texture, finish, and surrounding colors keep each approach distinct. Burgundy Upholstery Can Carry Most of the Color Two rust-burgundy sofas occupy much of the seating area, putting the color across a broad horizontal section without matching paint. Charcoal walls and ...

He Spray Painted the Oak Cabinets Brilliant White and Suddenly the Dark Backsplash Stands Out

Image
Solid oak cabinets covered both sides of this kitchen, with honey-toned doors above and below the worktops. Gray subway tile, beige counters, gray floor tile, a black sink, and dark appliances surrounded the wood. @themobilespray Instagram creator @themobilespray kept the fitted cabinetry and changed its finish instead. The solid oak doors needed more than a coat of paint, since knots and cracks had to be filled before sanding began. High-build primer prepared the wood for several topcoats in Brilliant White with a satin finish. The process changed the dominant surface in the room while retaining the raised-panel doors, decorative trim, cabinet boxes, worktops, backsplash, flooring, and appliances. Solid Oak Covered Both Sides of the Kitchen @themobilespray Honey-toned oak covered the base cabinets, drawers, and upper cabinets beside the range. Raised center panels and routed edges gave each door a detailed profile, while decorative molding ran beneath the wall cabinets. Gray s...

Couple Replaced the Dated Tiled Vanity With a Double Sink and the Bathroom Looks Twice as Big

Image
Small square tiles covered the vanity countertop and backsplash in this 1962 home’s primary bathroom, surrounding a single sink with rows of dark grout lines. A mirrored medicine cabinet filled the wall above, while patterned vinyl flooring and a beige tub liner added finishes from later renovations. @The Bond House Jess Bond of The Bond House and her husband wanted two sinks, more storage, and a cleaner bathroom without expanding the footprint. The couple completed the $2,200 remodel themselves with help from Jess’s father-in-law, replacing the one-sink vanity while finding ways to keep parts of the original 1962 bathroom. Apartment Therapy reported that the project took about a week and a half. Small Tiles Covered the Counter, Backsplash, and Vanity Edge @The Bond House White square tiles ran across the countertop, up the backsplash, and over the front edge of the vanity. Dark grout divided the surface into a tight grid around a single drop-in sink, while the wide mi...

Bathroom Sinks Don’t Have to Be Built Into the Vanity: These Designs Put Them Right on Top

Image
Built-in and undermount sinks make the basin part of the countertop, leaving much of its form hidden below the surface. Vessel sinks reverse that arrangement. The entire basin remains above the vanity, turning a plumbing fixture into one of the first elements you notice in the bathroom. These bathroom designs show how much that shift can change the vanity itself. Some pair vessel sinks with drawers and enclosed storage, while others use wood slabs, open frames, floating counters, or furniture-style bases. Round, oval, rectangular, and sculpted basins also show that the idea is not tied to one bathroom style. Twin Oval Basins Sit Above a Floating Wood Vanity Two oval vessel sinks sit across a long wood vanity with drawers tucked beneath the counter. Keeping both basins above the wood leaves the front of the vanity free for broad drawer faces instead of breaking the composition with visible sink bowls. Wall-mounted faucets rise behind each basin, so no faucet deck takes up space b...
