What a difference a shade makes! We swapped out the classic tapered shades that our high and low sconces originally came with for more contemporary cylindrical ones, taking the straightup traditional and giving it a modern twist.

Knob sense
We have no idea why “you knob” is often thrown out as an insult when knobs are actually one of the unsung heroes of home decor. They’re key to customizing a big box purchase, the jewellery that adds a little dazzle to a room and one of the quickest ways to give your space a light refresh on a low budget. So around here? We consider “you knob” to be a compliment.

Mini mosaic tiles not only add subtle texture to your bathroom decor but also provide traction for those slippery post-shower feet. The hexagon options take us to our favourite French bistros, the herringbone reminds us of Gatsby-worthy ensuites, and the more eclectic varieties offer a unique cable-knit look or a kaleidoscope effect. Whatever image they bring to mind, these tiles also ease our minds, assuring they’ll deliver a chic look while preventing us from flailing and falling out of the shower.
