Designers Weigh In on Seriously Upgrading Your Kitchen and Bath

I feel like the products are what should shine in a beauty space. I don’t think you need a designated vanity with a chair. When I think about how I live my life, I do my morning and night beauty rituals when I wash my face and brush my teeth, so it makes sense in a bathroom setting.

I like bathrooms to feel very tidy and clean. The bathroom design is there to support the products. I can’t stress enough the importance of organization. If you have drawers in your bathroom, there’s so much you can do. Dividers or plexiglass boxes inside them go a long way toward organizing beauty products. I love little glass shelves too. They look very chic. Products are really beautiful as long as you have a place for them, so they can look intentional and inviting.

I also like the bathroom because you usually have the best light there. I love warm lighting in my home, but in the bathroom I think it’s the one place you can go a little cooler for lighting. I have two lights: one directly by the mirror and another that’s a ceiling light.
