Greige Farmhouse Bathroom

Black Bathroom Hardware Ideas

For a warm and welcoming look with a dynamic edge, why not introduce black bathroom hardware into a greige bathroom? The greige shiplap bridges the contrast between the white porcelain and black accents. Thanks to the neutral shade, elements like the faucet, trash can, and duo of black framed prints still stand out, but they have a much more relaxed look than a stark black and white contrast.

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me?

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream.

If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
