Good design has the ability to improve how you experience the everyday…
especially when it comes to the spaces where you spend the most time. The primary bathroom, or main bathroom, is one of those spaces, and we consider it one of the most important when tackling a project, be it a new build or remodel.
If you’re looking for primary bathroom inspiration, keep scrolling to see eight of our favorite designs, read more about the process behind them, and shop the accents that bring them to life!
No. 1: A fresh & timeless primary bath
This primary bathroom in our AZ Homestead Project feels fresh and timeless with a subtle green tone on the cabinetry, painted with Sensible Hue by Sherwin Williams, gold hardware and accents, and beautiful marble mosaic floors. We added interest in the details with counter-front sinks and contrasting hardware on the vanity and centered the space with an eye-catching free-standing tub and coordinating brass tap-ware.

The New Year comes with many shifts…
and whether or not you are the type to subscribe to the idea of resolutions or goals, there’s something special about setting intentions and looking forward to what’s ahead with each new calendar year. When it comes to the interior design space, the new year is often filled with debate about what’s “in” and “out”.
Our team shares mixed feelings about the idea of trends in design, but the truth is, our homes are ever evolving and often a reflection of what is happening around us. It’s always fun to watch how the patterns of material, form, and influences ebb and flow from year to year, and we’re excited to share a few things we can’t wait to incorporate more of in 2022.
While we love light and bright spaces, the design pendulum is swinging back to traditionalism as we spend more and more time indoors and long for the feeling of comfort that timeless, warm elements bring to our spaces. This year, we’re encouraging our clients to welcome rich materials that bring depth to the home, and we’re excited to see a resurgence of traditional details in everything from architecture to product design.
Here are a few design “trends” we’re anticipating this year:
Pattern-heavy elements
While we saw a lot of pattern-heavy elements in 2021, we’re anticipating even more in the year ahead. Large and small-scale patterns are becoming more apparent in everything from wallpaper to bedding to window treatments!
While committing to a pattern can feel intimidating, there are countless ways to incorporate more patterns into your space that don’t involve covering your walls from floor to ceiling. Think patterned textiles, rugs, and even artwork! It’s all about playing with scale and maintaining a consistent color palette to keep your space feeling consistent and interesting.
Romantic materials & textures
We’re excited to incorporate more romantic and whimsical design influences into our spaces this year and anticipate the continuation of fluted, reeded, scalloped, and ribbed, and lace materials. Not only do these elements soften our homes and bring a feeling of warmth and nostalgia, but they can bring dimensions to even the most minimal of color palettes.
These romantic details feel unexpected when juxtaposed with modern elements and angular silhouettes and are easy to incorporate through both big and small furniture and decor selections.
Exaggerated proportions
Playing with scale is always a great way to keep things interesting in design, and this year, we’re excited to see even more exaggerated proportions in everything from statement-making lighting to sculptural-like vases and artwork.
Even proportions in hard finishes like tile and hardware can feel exaggerated and draw the eye to every detail, giving any interior a custom and thoughtful feeling.
Softened kitchen furnishings
We’re excited about seeing more furniture-like builds in the kitchen and living-space-like decor in the kitchen this year. We’ve been using artwork in kitchens for years, and we love incorporating lamps and other unexpected décor and finish elements to soften the hard lines of kitchen cabinetry and appliances.
Warmer material & color palettes
From terracotta to deep brown hues and warm natural stone and woods, we’re expecting to see even more warm material and color palettes in 2022. After a few years of uncertainty in the outside world, these warm tones are comforting and inviting, encouraging you to sit down and stay awhile.
Although warm and rusty tones are typically associated with autumn and winter months, we anticipate them having a year-round staying power as we continue to create spaces of refuge at home.
Pedestals
While pedestals aren’t a new trend, we’re seeing more and more people incorporate them into their spaces, and we’re all for it!
Pedestals can be a great way to add a new layer of material or texture in your home, fill an empty space, bring in height variation, or all of the above!
We’re excited to see new variations on pedestal materials and colors, and we might even have a few to share in our upcoming collections with McGee & Co (hint hint).

As we’re settling in for the winter…
and getting ready for the busy holiday season approaching, we’re thinking about how we can add layers to our spaces and create experiences in our environments to encourage warmth for ourselves and our guests.
When it comes to curating our spaces during colder months, it’s not just about hanging the stockings or decorating the tree but also about creating moments that feel inviting and last all winter long. Today, we’re sharing a few simple ways to create a cozy atmosphere that can carry through into the new year once the tinsel is down from the tree and the holiday leftovers are gone.
Add layers of textiles
Adding layers of textiles is a simple way to add coziness to your space, and we love switching out our pillows and throws with each new season to tell a new story with our styling and bring in fresh elements of color and texture. We add more layers than usual during the winter months to ensure there are throws in grabbing-distance for everyone and pillows to add warmth to our material palettes.

The kitchen is the center of gathering, and even more so this time of year…
as we settle in and welcome our favorite baking, entertaining, and hosting traditions, we’re considering how to make each element in our kitchen spaces more intentional.
In our latest catalouge with McGee & Co., we styled the kitchen space with some of our favorite pieces that encourage settling in and staying awhile amidst this busy time of year.
Scroll through to see the look and read more details on how we brought it to life!
The pieces
Our process for adding styled pieces starts with taking inspiration from the finishes in a kitchen space. In this home, the kitchen is filled with warm, character-driven details like warm oak cabinetry, unlacquered brass hardware, and beautiful contrasting black and white marble countertops.
We chose pieces from our latest McGee & Co. collection that would highlight each detail, from the rounded woven Hadden Counter-stools to the grey and gold Scarlett Pendants.
Pembroke Hand-Knotted Rug
The Pembroke Hand-Knotted rug grounds the space, adding warmth and a subtle pattern to soften the angular lines of the kitchen.
“The Pembroke Hand-Knotted Rug is a best seller for a reason. It is an instant classic. With its vintage-inspired design and soft hues that add an extra layer of comfort.”
– Shea McGee
“We hung our Scarlet pendants above the islands in this new neutral colorway. I have these pendants in my own kitchen and love the scale and angular shape.”
– Shea McGee
The details
The accessories in this space bring it to life and add personality with a mix of vintage and new styled pieces. A large wooden bowl on the island is ready to be filled with seasonal fruit or hold kitchen linens, and styled serveware and decor on the open-shelving brings form and function to tie everything together.
Rectangle Oak Wood Bread Board
A small lamp brings a lived-in feeling to the kitchen space and allows for cozier lighting at the end of the day, styled next to a sculptural potted tree and stacked coffee table books.
