LA BASILICA DI SANTA CHIARA

Costruita per volere di Carlo di Borbone, dal 1957 ospita il Museo nazionale di Capodimonte.

During stressful times, the home can become a sanctuary. From soothing color palettes that evoke a sense of calm to high-tech features that make daily tasks feel a bit less strenuous, design choices are crucial in curating serene spaces. This is especially true in the bathroom - the room where people escape to cleanse and recharge.

Refined elegance

Elegant design does not require over-the-top stylistic features. Instead, focus on elements that are beautifully understated. Create a refined aesthetic that combines clean lines and curves with luxurious materials and finishes to achieve an unassuming, timeless space. To bring this style to the bathroom, a space that should feel and look fresh, make deliberate design choices by removing features that distract from the beauty of the space. There is power in simplicity; an alluring force that can elevate any room.

Serene sanctuary

The bathroom is a place of livable serenity within the home. Regardless of the size of the space, it is important to create the feeling of openness, which will truly transform it into the spot to come back to and to relax in after a long day. Curated style choices, such as a light color palette, soft-textured accent pieces like plush towels and wood features or other organic elements, create the feeling of airiness akin to the serene design found in spas. Water plays a key role in the bathroom, and fixtures that are both purposeful and elegant should serve as the pathway to bring this natural element to life in the room.

Showcase water as a design element by selecting faucets

and fixtures that bring the design and details of the space together in a harmonious fashion. Create a sanctuary that perfectly captures the intrigue of minimalism. Incorporate the smooth contours and sleek aesthetic of the Allaria Bath Collection by Brizo, offering effortless beauty and unparalleled craftsmanship. The collection transforms simple forms into functional works of art. By combining curved geometric shapes with striking split finishes, the fixtures achieve a look of soft modernism.

Sophisticated customization

exclusive finishes. The Allaria

1. Replace the faucet, mirror

Make a statement in your half bath by letting your guests see themselves in an updated mirror. Whether vintage or new, a mirror creates the feeling of space, even in the most cramped quarters.

2. Update cabinet hardware

While tearing out a half bath’s vanity can be labor-intensive and expensive, swapping out the hardware can make it feel new again. Choosing colors and finishes that complement the faucet, mirror and light fixture ties the room together.

3. Paint & Wallpaper

To add more drama to the space, add a fresh coat of paint to the powder room’s vanity and walls. Light and dark colors add contrast which creates depth and the illusion of space, while medium tones can make the room feel smaller.

4. Update decor

Ditch the dated powder room decor for modern functional items. A cute succulent or fresh-cut flowers are visually appealing and make the room smell great. A stack of books can turn into a pedestal for soap and hand towels.

5. Add new light fixtures

Updated lighting can set the mood and help make a small room feel bright and airy. By matching lighting to the mirror, faucet and hardware, the powder room will feel put together and thought out.

Take a look around your home. Does your dining table show signs of wear and tear?

Is your work-from-home setup not getting the job done?

Does your bedroom furniture look a little shabby and not quite chic? If you’re nodding your head in agreement, then it might be time to upgrade. And there’s no better investment than Real American Hardwood furniture crafted from a stylish wood like cypress.

Make an Entry

Is your home in need of an entryway drop zone? A console table may be just what you need to transform unused wall space into practical storage and decor. And if you value durability, woodworker Capers L. Cauthen of Landrum Tables in Charleston, South Carolina, says cypress is your best bet. I don’t just offer cypress furniture, I recommend it, he adds. It’s naturally durable.

I use a lot of river-recovered cypress in my work, and I tell my clients that any wood that can last 400 or more years on the bottom of a river or swamp is something you can bank on.

Choose a Centerpiece

Picking out a coffee table can be a big decision. It’s the resting spot for remotes, drinks, greasy pizza boxes, and tired feet. So, look for one that’s built to withstand spills

and scratches. With proper care, solid wood like cypress will last forever, Cauthen says. And it can be repaired, refinished, and brought back to life many times over. On the other hand, run-of-the-mill pieces made out of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) or particle board aren’t built for long-term use. Their surface has one life, and if it gets damaged, the whole thing will need to be replaced.

Experience Fine Dining

Family dinner time shouldn’t be interrupted by creaks and wobbles. That’s why buying a quality table is a smart choice.

There is truly no comparison, says woodworker Angel Komazec of The French Address in Slidell, Louisiana. “Solid, handmade furniture is just built differently than pieces created in a factory. The labor and love that goes into building our wooden tables is what sets them apart.” And her wood of choice is cypress. Its texture and grain never disappoint, and the way it accepts stain leaves us in awe every time.

Witnessing someone see their custom cypress table for the Is it time to move your home office from the dining room to a dedicated space?

Then invest in a desk that’ll

keep you organized and on task-and look good doing it. Matthew Latiolais, owner and craftsman at Cajun Salvage Company in Lafayette, Louisiana, says cypress slab desks are all the rage. Cypress is prevalent in our area, and it’s more economical and easier to work with than some other species, he adds. We use a lot of reclaimed material. It’s a pretty wood and its natural color offers the lighter tones that are popular in home décor. And when you apply a durable poly finish, it’ll be well protected for everyday use. Did you know the average person spends 26 years sleeping

during their lifetime? It’s true, and a well-made bedframe is as important as your mattress when it comes to getting better rest. “Having a quality bedframe matters, says Kelly Seibels, owner of Seibels Cottage in Birmingham, Alabama. And that’s why we pride ourselves in our craftsmanship. Our frames are custom made by hand, and we pay close attention to the details to ensure every piece meets a high standard. Aesthetics are another consideration and that’s why we choose to work with cypress. It’s a beautiful, stable wood with straight grain and very few if any knots. I love
