1

Go for a Headboard and Nightstand Combo

Much of this Rupp Studio-designed bedroom is actually vintage, from the blush and gold chandelier to the pair of ceramic table lamps. But the custom Donald Judd-inspired headboard with built-in nightstands and the soft neutrals modernize the small space.

2

Color Block with Quilts

Turn vintage quilts into custom-made pillows to personalize a space in a fresh new way just like this serene room designed by Leah Ring of Another Human. Juno Peach by Benjamin Moore provides a peachy backdrop for the plexiglass butterfly artwork above the bed in this room that has cozy and colorful layers.

A mid-century staple, paper lanterns are beloved for their diffuse lighting and organic feel. If you’ve got vaulted ceilings like this sun-lit, all-white room designed by Leanne Ford Interiors, go big with a globe-shape pendant. Washi paper lighting pairs beautifully with other organic furnishings, like stone or wood side tables.

The paint color you choose for your bedroom has a major impact on the space, and cool bluish-greens like this moody teal just feel exceptionally modern. The Studio Shamshiri bedroom also features a custom built-in desk and subs in a stylish armchair for an ergonomic workhorse. Need some paint inspiration? Here are 10 bluish-green colors great for bedrooms.

5

Lighten Things Up with Lucite

Full transparency: We love a lucite accent piece to modernize small spaces, like the side table in this Kristin Fine-designed bedroom. The bedside lights by the headboard are a little touch of luxury, too.

6

Play with Large-Scale Pattern

Glass and steel are an uber-contemporary combo. Designer Kathleen McCormick softens the look in the bedroom with wool carpets and luxe layers on the bed, plus has some fun with coordinating large-scale polka dots and graphic stripes.

7

Give Geometric Motifs a Go

This sweet bedroom designed by Atelier ND provides quite the geometry lesson, with conversation heart colors showing up on the cubic nightstand, curved headboard, and neatly squared frame. The theme continues to the geometric printed curtains.

The sleek and modern platform bed keeps a low profile in this bedroom that designer Elaine Santos says does “enough architecturally that the furniture and the textiles could stay quiet.” If you’ve got soaring ceilings in your own bedroom, try a tiered chandelier like this one from Circa Lighting.

9

Keep It Neutral and Natural

This Fiona Lynch-designed space feels like an autumnal cocoon with its mocha brown walls and gold linen bedding. A jute rug adds the finishing touch (and a tad more texture).

The white linens and curtains allow other pieces to make a statement in this Tamsin Johnson Interiors, specifically the water view and the matching brass-based rattan lamps. The modern bust also elevates the space.

Tonal silvery-grays throughout the bedroom yield to the winter landscape outside the wall of windows of this slopeside A-Frame madeover by Sarah Richardson Design. The soothing monochromatic look comes together with custom fabric wrapping the headboard, contemporary sconces from Artemide, and a textural rug.

12

Embrace Organic Textures

From the custom blush headboard that feels like a tapestry to the rattan pendant anchoring the bedroom and the slatted window that opens like an easel, lovely organic textures fill this Japanese-inspired space from Kureck Jones. To duplicate in your own room, add flowers and a linen coverlet.

13

Mix and Match Graphic Prints

For a modern kid’s room, designer Hilary Matt knew the design called for a funky graphic print wallpaper. Pops of taxi yellow, skateboard art, and lamps that look like ear buds up the cool factor.

Serene and streamlined, this coastal bedroom from Studio Diaa is a minimalist’s muse. Interesting details make the cut, including a two-piece gallery wall, built-in bookshelf above the bed, hooks to hang robes on, and a full moon pendant light.

In this bedroom, designer Marina Hanisch mixed furniture, textiles, and wallcoverings with different types of stripes, adding visual interest. She simultaneously softened up the bedroom with oat colors, a plush rug, and a curvaceous pendant.

What you can’t see in this Melanie Millner-designed bedroom is that the TV recesses into the ceiling when it’s not in use, a trick often used by luxury hotels, but also a good idea for keeping a sanctuary feel in home bedrooms, too. Other modern touches in this room are the matching bedside tables and rotating wall sconces as well as the crisp white bedding that drapes to the floor.

When you’ve got a sun-drenched space like this happy Devin Kirk-designed bedroom, let the light in and allow your houseplants to thrive. As a bonus, houseplants can help you catch some ZZZ’s and purify the air, so bring on the Golden Pothos and ferns.

18

Frame Contemporary Photos

It’s probably been since college since you’ve had a poster hanging in your room; but how about framing art of an icon for a youthful feel? This Dash Snow photo above the writing desk gives the Studio OSKLO designed space a contemporary beat. The bedroom also features a French mid century lamp and a custom bed in flannel hue mohair.

Designer Kate Abt modernized a 110-year-old townhouse, sprucing up this guest bedroom with a cool white paint (Benjamin Moore’s Snowfall White). The space-saving floating walnut nighstands are spacious enough to hold an alarm clock and vase of flowers and don’t take up extra square footage like their bulkier alternatives.

20

Hang a Large-Scale Modern Mirror

Sarah Solis placed the large-scale mirror in the just-right spot for it to reflect a desert oasis in this earthy room with imperfect plaster walls and muted linens. Instead of propping the mirror on the floor, she allowed for a wooden bench to bridge the space and provide some extra storage.

21

Incorporate Walnut Wood

Capable of warming up a room in a snap, walnut wood is predicted to be big in 2023. From there, pile on the patterns like the pillows and coverlet on this platform bed in a Shamshiri Studio bedroom.

From the channel tufted bed frame to the low-slung chairs, curvy silhouettes give this bedroom a contemporary feel. If space allows, crank up the relaxation elements in a bedroom and create a seating area at the end of the bed like designer Hilary Matt did in this texture-rich, neutral space. The veining on the marble table in between the low-slung chairs adds to the polished look.

Canopy beds add an element of grandeur. But you don’t have to go out an buy an all-new bed to try out the look; just add drapery rods to the ceiling and tie back your flowing fabrics as demonstrated in this Ashby Studio bedroom.

Fueled By New Wealth, ‘Ultra-Luxury’ Real Estate Tallies Big Year In 2022

Fueled By New Wealth, ‘Ultra-Luxury’ Real Estate Tallies Big Year In 2022

In these times, double down — on your skills, on your knowledge, on you. Join us Aug. 8-10 at Inman Connect Las Vegas to lean into the shift and learn from the best. Get your ticket now for the best price.

Ultra-luxury sales in newly emerged or reemerging markets helped propel 2022 sales in that sector beyond pre-pandemic levels, a report released by Compass on Wednesday shows.

Ultra-luxury sales — or the sale of homes valued at $10 million or more — totaled $29.5 billion across 1,774 transactions in 2022, the brokerage reported, representing an increase of 104.7 percent in sales volume from 2019 levels. Those sales in unexpected markets came as luxury buyers sought to diversify their portfolios with inventory still relatively tight.

Despite those figures besting 2019 levels, overall transaction volume on $10 million-plus properties in the U.S. was actually down 18.8 percent in 2022 compared to 2021.

“Lots of new wealth was created during the pandemic, and simultaneously, the ultra-wealthy reimagined their investments and living arrangements,” Compass’ report stated. “During lockdowns, they wanted everything they needed in one place and found inspiration in markets they had not considered before, creating new ultra-wealthy areas that did not exist a few years ago and inspiring a renaissance in others.”

Compass’ report identified 10 markets with no pre-pandemic ultra-luxury transactions that saw significant $10 million-plus movement in 2022: Brooklyn, New York; North Florida, Florida; Boulder, Colorado; East Bay, California; Dallas-Fort-Worth, Texas; Central Florida, Florida; Austin, Texas; Washington, D.C.; Indianapolis, Indiana; North New Jersey, New Jersey.

Brooklyn, North Florida and Boulder all saw year-over-year increases in $10 million-plus transaction volume of 300 percent or more. Brooklyn saw the greatest surge in ultra-luxury sales, with just three such transactions in 2021 and then 13 in 2022. Austin, Central Florida, Dallas-Fort-Worth and California’s East Bay all also saw substantial increases in ultra-luxury sales, ranging from surges of 25 to 100 percent year over year.

Well-established luxury markets also outperformed 2019 levels in 2022, with Telluride, Colorado, and Palm Springs, California, showing standout growth in transaction volume, increasing 600 percent from 2019. From 2021 to 2022 alone, Palm Springs’ sales volume rose 117.6 percent year over year, hitting $207.4 million.

Valery Neuman

“People from across the globe are purchasing luxury estates to enjoy the lifestyle our desert offers,” Valery Neuman, a Compass agent in Palm Springs, said in a statement. “No longer dubbed as the retirement mecca, buyers are younger and taking advantage of all its amenities, including golf, pickleball, tennis, concerts, fine dining, fine arts and a small airport with private jet access.”

Manhattan saw the greatest number of ultra-luxury sales in 2022, closing more than $6 billion in sales volume across 343 transactions. Those ultra-luxury deals were front-loaded during the first half of 2022, with nine out of the top 10 sales of the year occurring during the first six months of 2022, prior to the market correction that settled in following the Fed’s series of mortgage rate increases.

Tony Sargent

“While the $10 million-plus market in Manhattan slowed notably between July and October, contract activity rose in November and December, especially in the $20 million-plus market, evidence that the ultra-wealthy who seize opportunities in volatile times usually end up winning in the long term,” Tony Sargent, an agent with Compass in New York, said in a statement. “We saw this in 2009 as well as in 2018-2020.”

As far as what this all may mean for 2023, Compass agents expect a lot of the strong ultra-luxury momentum from 2022 in these markets to continue in the new year.

Liz Hogan | Compass

“We are still seeing an unprecedented level of relocations to Florida from high tax states,” Liz Hogan, a Compass agent in Miami, said in a statement.

Contract activity from Q4 2022 also offers a glimpse ahead at 2023. In Manhattan, specifically, 44 contracts were signed on homes priced over $10 million, with an average contract price of $18.3 million. Those figures represent about one-third of the number of contracts signed during Q4 2021, but about $2 million more than the average contract price during Q4 2021 of $16.6 million.

Shelly Tretter Lynch

For the most part, however, Compass agents said that luxury buyers tend to remain a stable presence in the market, despite the economic environment.

“Luxury never goes away,” Compass-Greenwich Agent Shelly Tretter Lynch said.

22 Beautiful Kitchen Sink Ideas To Transform Your Space

22 Beautiful Kitchen Sink Ideas To Transform Your Space

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. Not only do you likely use it every day, but it’s also vital to the resale value of your house if you ever decide to put it on the market. Whether you want to renovate it for yourself or increase its value, it’s an indispensable area to pay attention to. But you don’t need to make significant changes to the space to boost your home’s worth. 

According to Vevano, the smallest renovations have the highest return on investment, roughly 80.5{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96}. One of the smallest and, in some cases, easiest renovations you can make is via your kitchen sink. It can be as simple as changing out the faucet hardware to installing a new basin entirely, but it’s generally much more straightforward than reflooring or replacing larger appliances. There are endless options for updating your kitchen through the kitchen sink, including color, materials, designs, shapes, and more.

1. Black drainboard sink

Drainboard sinks allow you to conveniently stack dishes and glasses or rinse off food in the sink, allowing the water to drain into the basin mess-free. A black drainboard sink has a slightly edgy, rustic, industrial-inspired look, which can be enhanced or left to stand out on its own.

2. Brass faucet

Spruce up a plain single basin sink with an eye-catching faucet. A warm-toned brass faucet goes wonderfully with a bright white kitchen and marble countertops, making your kitchen look chic and luxurious.

3. Black farmhouse sink

Farmhouse sinks aren’t just convenient but visually intriguing additions to your kitchen. If you want to avoid a rustic, farmhouse look, but want the effect of the sink, choose a black basin, which gives it a slightly modern edge — especially in a brighter kitchen.

4. Corner sink

Picking a place to put your sink can be as challenging as choosing a style. If you have an awkward corner or bend in your counters, don’t count it out as a place to install your sink. It makes the appliance much more intriguing and can transform even the plainest sink into something visually interesting.

5. Gold hardware

What hardware you choose for your sink is just as, if not more, necessary than the sink itself. Pick a shiny, reflective gold color for your faucet and other sink hardware to liven up a plain sink or highlight a dramatic, large basin. 

6. Double sinks

One sink may not be enough if you cook a lot or have a busy household. Two sinks allow you to contrast designs — one sink can be classic and sleek, the other traditional and vintage. One could be chrome, the other steel. Play around with colors, sizes, and designs.

7. Oval-shaped sink

Square sinks may be the standard in most kitchens, but there’s no rule against varying shapes. An oval or circular-shaped sink is much softer and goes well with similarly muted colors and design choices.

8. Brass basin

Don’t limit colorful metals to your faucets. Brass sink basins are not only eye-catching and appeal to your kitchen, but they also have the sanitary properties of other metals. Just make sure to keep up with the necessary maintenance. 

9. White farmhouse sink

If you like bright and clean kitchens, then a large, white farmhouse sink is a perfect addition. Add chrome or gold hardware to your faucet and cabinets to tie it in seamlessly with the rest of your kitchen.

10. Classic steel basin

Steel may not be as flashy as brass or gold, but it is just as practical and visually effective in your kitchen. Clean, square silhouettes can help emphasize the minimalist, clean-cut nature of the metal.

11. Chrome faucet

Chrome is another excellent finish for your sink hardware, adding more dimension and intrigue than simple stainless steel.

12. Rounded double basin

A simple, divided, double basin can be plain or sterile for your tastes. Instead, opt for a rounded double basin with a rounded, integrated design.

13. Smooth gold sink

Instead of just a gold faucet, go for a double gold faucet and sink basin. This adds warmth and color to your kitchen and goes great with other gold hardware or appliances.

14. Modern spout faucet

While some things, like your actual basin, are more difficult to swap, the faucet is a little easier to update. If you want a slightly modern, contemporary edge, swap out your basic straight spout faucet for a more minimalist design. 

15. Vintage bridge faucet

On the other hand, if you want to make your kitchen feel a little more vintage, a simple bridge faucet with vintage detailing can go a long way to enhancing any other antique vibes in your kitchen, like butcher block countertops.

16. Copper basin and gold faucet

Mix and match metals with your faucet and sink — gold or brass for the tap, detailing, drainboard, and copper for the basin. Pair with other warm colors to integrate it seamlessly into your kitchen.

17. Black vintage faucet

If you want vintage touches without going overboard, choose a faucet with a vintage design in a modern color, like black. Pair with a plain, simple white basin for a pop of vintage inspiration without committing too much to the aesthetic.

18. Minimalist gooseneck faucet

Gooseneck faucets are one of the most popular styles. Give it a minimalist edge with a square, U-shaped design instead of the classic rounded configuration. Dark, matte shades like black for your sink and faucet help accentuate the design. 

19. Simple single basin

Your kitchen sink doesn’t need to be flashy to be an excellent addition to your kitchen. A simple white ceramic top-mount basin with a chrome or steel faucet is classic, adaptable, and timeless.

20. Raised stone basin

On the other hand, if you want to make a statement with your kitchen sink, choose a raised basin. Add character by selecting a stone material and a gold, vintage-style faucet. 

21. Pop of blue

Your kitchen sink can also add a pop of color to the room. Keep it subtle with a darker, more natural shade, like a stone blue. Pair with more pigmented variations of the color throughout the kitchen — cabinets, paint, decorations, etc.

22. Natural stone basin

Add stone touches in a more understated way through your basin. Choose a natural, tan, or cream color to keep it simple, paired with a chrome faucet and other masonry details — stone countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, etc.

Inside a California Bedroom Makeover That’s Inspired by the Ocean

Taking on a comprehensive gut reno of your have house is pretty the feat. When the entrepreneurs of a 1952 bungalow in Redondo Beach, California, did just that, they gave it their all. “But when it arrived to their bed room, they have been worn out and succumbed to using present and outdated home furniture and calling it a working day,” claims Dee Murphy. So they tapped the designer to devise a retreat that mirrored the operate they experienced accomplished throughout the rest of the 4-bed room, 3-toilet household.

Q&A

Property Attractive: Did you encounter any troubles or surprises in the course of the undertaking? How did you pivot?

Dee Murphy: Oh boy! A incredibly unforgettable hiccup was that when the bed arrived, the headboard and posts had been attached (created in extremely good print on the internet site), and we couldn’t get it up the staircase. We had to reorder the mattress, custom, to supply it in smaller parts, which included an extra 4 months to our timeline. I figured out that this experienced happened to a number of designers, so I did not feel fairly as bad, and thank goodness the shopper had a perception of humor about it.

HB: The place did the the greater part of the budget go?

DM: The the greater part of the budget went to the personalized created-ins and the bed.

HB: How did you save money, Diy, or get crafty?

DM: Essentially, we did not help save any money. The house owner truly needed to go all out and employed me for this home precisely!
