There are so many decisions to make when remodeling your bathroom. Some of them are expected and others you wouldn’t think about until the time to make the decision has come. We’re sharing some tips and features to remember when it comes time to start your bathroom remodel.
If you ask an experienced bathroom designer what their bathroom design pet peeve is, you’re likely to hear a rant about the toilet. Don’t make the toilet the focal point of your beautiful new bathroom. Too often, a bathroom door opens up to reveal a toilet, front and center. Now, think about all the times when the bathroom door is left open. This means everyone walking by has a framed view of the porcelain throne. Choose any other focal point and highlight that instead. If it makes sense for your design, position the toilet on the same wall as the door or at least out of view of the open door.
Tubs are one of those features that were standard for years in bathroom design, then were swapped out for fancy steam showers and the like. Now, tubs are back. Everything from deep soaking tubs to tiny tubs with a small footprint. If you have the space (or can get creative) get a tub for your bathroom.
Not a tub person? No matter how trendy, if you’ll never step foot in a tub, deck out your shower. Opting out of a tub entirely is still a popular choice for Team Shower. By removing a tub and replacing it with a shower, you can save money by not having to reroute plumbing too. Popular choices in showers include floor-to-ceiling steam showers and curbless showers.
While vanities can seem like an easy choice to make when renovating your bathroom, this is a decision to be made carefully. If you choose a vanity too small for your space, you’ll be fighting with your family for storage and countertop space. If you choose one too large, it will throw off the scale of the room and take up precious space.
Overall, a bathroom renovation can be complex, especially if you’re not used to it. That’s why it’s important to work with an expert designer like ours from Fairview Millwork and Kitchens.

Kitchens are called the heart of the home for a reason. They are where we cook nourishing meals for our families, share important conversations with our friends, work and complete homework, and even entertain. For this reason, it is important that your kitchen is kept clean and organized so that you can find the right tools for the right occasion no matter what that is.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. No client has ever gone to one of our kitchen designers complaining of too much storage in their kitchen. It is always our advice to max out on all the storage you can fit. Speak with a designer about how you can best utilize under-used and forgotten spaces in your design for additional storage.
Storage doesn’t just mean empty drawers and cabinets. At Fairview Millwork and Kitchens, you can work with a designer to choose cabinets, drawers, and pullouts for custom storage. These can include everything from specific bakeware, dinnerware, and cookware storage to K-cup storage and concealed step stools.
No one wants to stare at (or smell) stinky trash while they eat. Conceal your trash and recycling instead with garbage can pull-outs. These not only hide your unsightly trash from your guests and family but also move the trash closer to the food prep space for easy cleanup. You can even keep all of your recycling separated as you throw so there is no additional sorting on trash day.
Cabinets aren’t the only way to keep your kitchen items organized. Use open shelving to break up long stretches of upper cabinets. These work especially well if you have some pretty dishes or items that you’d like to show off. Don’t go open shelf crazy however, those items will need to be kept neat and dust-free.
How you use your kitchen will be unique to you and your family. Working with a professional kitchen designer will help you make the most of your space and introduce you to the options available to you. Contact an expert designer at your local Fairview Millwork and Kitchens today!
There are many reasons why a homeowner might want to work with a professional designer when renovating their home. One reason is that a professional knows what is available on the market and can brainstorm options for problem areas. Another reason is that a designer is often in touch with their clients after the project is complete and therefore, is able to know which features their clients get the most use from and are happiest about. Below, we’ll take a look at some professional designers’ most recommended bathroom features.
It makes sense to want your bathroom to look clean. But it can be easy to go from looking clean to looking sterile. To break up the sterile all-white bathroom look, incorporating natural elements like stained wood can give a bathroom that spa-like feel. A great place to do this is with your bathroom vanity. Using the color and texture of a natural element like wood means this solution can be used in a bathroom of any style including contemporary modern, traditional, and anything in between.
For some, heated floors are the ultimate in bathroom luxury. Say goodbye to cold feet on a winter’s morning and say hello to your own home spa. Heated floors make it appealing to shower and get ready no matter the frigid temperatures outside. This is an upgrade a homeowner is unlikely to regret.
There may be no such thing as too much storage particularly when you’re talking about a bathroom. Typically, a bathroom needs space for ample personal care products as well as towels and sometimes more. Countertop storage, drawers, linen closet, and open shelving are all popular solutions.
A shower niche is a simple solution to in-shower storage. With this chic shelf, you can throw away those unsightly, removable corner shelf shower units. Instead, you can store your most-used shower products directly in the wall. Some homeowners even choose to use this as a space for design by lining the inside of the niche with a contrasting or complementary tile color.
Any room that makes a bold style statement is sure to be a room that a homeowner will love. A bathroom should be no different. When designing a new bathroom a homeowner should take time to think about which part of the room their eye will be drawn to. Whether it’s a beautiful furniture-style vanity or giant soaking tub choose elements in your bathroom carefully and thoughtfully.

Trends can be fickle things. What was once popular is now out of favor and vice versa. Below, we examine 3 trends that have ridden the wheel of popularity and are once again back in favor.
For several years colorful vanities have reigned supreme In the world of bathroom design. But recently, reclaimed and natural wood finishes have become increasingly popular. seeing natural knotting in the wood adds texture and color to a bathroom. And in light of the popularity of all-white bathrooms, a natural wood vanity brings warmth to a space.
Shiny chrome enjoyed a long reign at the top of the list for most popular bathroom fixture colors. But now, designers see homeowners opting for matte nickel finishes like brushed or satin chrome. And while silvery metallic options are still the most popular choices, brushed brass continues to make a comeback in both kitchen and bathroom hardware and fixtures.
For a short time, the steam shower was a bathroom designer’s best friend. However, it appears that homeowners miss the sensation of relaxing back in a tub. But this new breed of bathtub fans won’t settle for your average tub. They are choosing increasingly larger soaking tubs with more modern features. These tubs are sure to make a statement.
From upgraded tubs to new fixture styles if it’s time to upgrade your bathroom consult someone you can trust. Visit your local Fairview Millwork and Kitchens and speak to one of our talented kitchen and bathroom designers.

It will be good news for many that wood finish is making a comeback. In a sea of white kitchens, the natural wood look is seeping back into modern kitchen design. Some homeowners are even choosing to mix and match wood finishes in the same space, much in the same way that complementary cabinet colors are often used in one room.
Pantries are key for anyone who really enjoys home organization and/or meal planning. Pantries provide one centralized, cool, dry space to store food which can help meal prep time when you don’t have to go poking through various cupboards to find ingredients. It can also cut down on the amount of cabinets needed allowing more space to be left open, making a kitchen feel larger.
Mudrooms, utility rooms, and laundry rooms used to be spaces that were hidden away in the back of homes never to be seen by visiting guests. They were homes’ dirty little secrets where anything from muddy boots to cleaning supplies would be stored. Now however, these places can be finished to such a high standard that any homeowner would be proud to show them off. Installing built-in cabinets that are both beautiful and provide storage make these spaces stylish and functional.
Open shelving can be both practical and design-forward. This is an area to show off your most beautiful or most special dishware. Maybe you’ve inherited your grandmother’s tea set or collected beautiful dishes from around the world. On the practical side, this can be where you store your most often used dishes for quick easy access.

Cabinets are not restricted to kitchen use. In fact, cabinetry can be useful all over your home. Below are just some of the spaces where adding cabinetry can do your family and your clutter some good.
A mudroom is an obvious area for cabinet storage. Wet coats and muddy boots all need to go somewhere. The climate you live in and the lifestyle you enjoy will probably help in determining how much storage you need and which materials to choose. Those with very active lifestyles may want to consider more durable materials in this space.
Bathrooms are notorious for being short on storage. Built-in cabinets are a great way to add more storage and maintain a consistent aesthetic throughout the room. Upper cabinets are also a nice feature if your bathroom is intended to stay suitable for someone aging in place. Keeping storage conveniently at shoulder level means no bending to look under sinks.
A laundry room or utility room can quickly become a jumbled storage area without a system of organization and storage. One of the great things about using cabinetry to create such systems is that it can almost always be tailor-fit to your needs. In these types of rooms, it is important for everything to have its place and cabinetry can hide it all behind closed doors.
One place that may not be so obvious for cabinets is the home office. However, ample (and often secure) storage in this area is something we have all come to learn to be very useful. And while working from home can, at times, be chaotic, adding built-ins will help you to contain the clutter elegantly.
So, think outside the box when it comes to where you can use cabinetry in your home. If you want an expert opinion, contact the kitchen and bath designers at your local Fairview Millwork and Kitchens for samples and pricing.
