Bathroom Cabinets and Vanities Ideas for Re-Designing Your Home
By Mike • Aug 31st, 2010 • Category: interior design

Modern bathroom cabinets and vanities are becoming a must-have feature in the homes of today. Aside from their unique and eye-catching designs that makes them stand out from the rest of your furnishings, modern bathroom cabinets are acknowledged for their many purposes. First, a vanity is a secure platform that serves as the foundation and support for a sink, faucet and drain, even while it hides the plumbing underneath. Such furniture often has a counter surface next to the sink, which is very useful for keeping toiletries and other common bathroom wares, while its cabinets are important storage areas where one can place supplies, thereby keeping the room clean and neat.

Regardless of their sizes, contemporary vanity cabinets that are aesthetically appealing and highly functional are considered a major selling point (as they are considered “good-living” features) for homes that are up for resale. So, if you have the intention of selling your home sometime in the not-too-distant future, make sure that you buy bathroom vanities and install them elegantly in spaces where they are needed the most so that they can add significantly to your home’s resale price. The vanities inside your home don’t have to appear boring like the standard designed cabinets with counter tops. In fact, vanities today come in different finishes that could suit any homeowners design preferences; and to help you out with your search, here are three of the top vanity sink cabinet designs available in the market.

First in the list are the natural stone modern bathroom cabinets and vanities that are constructed out of granite, marble, limestone, sandstone and other stone materials. What makes these vanities appealing is their easy to maintain nature, which many busy homeowners prefer for their furnishings. They are also long lasting, which makes them good fixtures for bathrooms and kitchens because they can withstand consistent exposure to moisture, steam and water. This finish is also highly revered due to its design flexibility that could fit any room type, thereby maintaining interior design consistency.

Meanwhile, a solid wood vanity sink cabinet are constructed out of wood materials ranging from oak and teak, to mahogany and maple. What’s really good about wood finished vanity is that it can induce a sense of country living. Because wooden fixtures acquire the laid back character of country living, wood vanities are perfect for bedrooms as their presence can provoke feelings of comfort and relaxation. Although wood vanities also work for bath spaces, it is more likely that they will wear out overtime due to moisture and steam.

Modern Bed Designs: Why Should You Consider Modern Platform Beds?
By Mike • Nov 16th, 2009 • Category: interior design, modern bedroom furniture

Hello, all! So Chic Design is now changing its focus. While the site has provided much worthwhile Wordpress information in the past, we are moving in a new direction: while we are not altogether abandoning Wordpress themes and articles, we are going to be throwing chic interior home design articles into the mix. I hope this will allow for more design variety and be informative to a wider pool of readers.

With that, I’d like to take a moment to talk about modern platform beds.

We are still here

Teresa here.

I have not dropped off the face of the planet. I haven’t gone public about the direction my life recently took. While it’s very personal, I do feel like people should know since there are some delays in replies since these “changes” have taken place.

Out of nowhere I’m in the middle of a divorce. This resulted in me moving back to the USA from Canada, which took place late last month. Soon after my arrival “home” my grandfather passed away. Both of these things left me in a state of shock. I’m healing from both, so I’m pushing forward.

I am currently writing this post on a dialup connection. It makes “work” very difficult, even loading email takes a long time. My high speed internet will be set up early next week, so with any luck I’ll be finalizing the few projects that remained when all of these changes began to happen in my life.

I’m currently responding to some emails, and emailing those of you that have purchased premades. If you do not get a message from me within the next 24 hours, please check your spam box. If you find no messages there and I’ve somehow overlooked a purchase, please do not hesitate to let me know. I can be reached at sochicdesign@gmail.com. I will have access to email while I wait for the high speed, so I’ll do my best to reply right away.

Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
