If you’ve been following our “Dare to Live” series, you know that we find the most inspiration in interior design details that comprise a cohesive, compelling home. By carefully selecting items, furnishings and fixtures that really resonate with you, you’ll craft an overall aesthetic that is reflective of you and your lifestyle and truly feels like home.
Because we spend so much of our lives in our kitchens and bathrooms, our faucets and showerheads take on meaning beyond functionality. By choosing fixtures that fit your range of needs (from the practical to the polished), you can upgrade your daily chores into enjoyable self-care rituals.
Kitchens With Style and Substance
This ultra-modern kitchen showcases several design trends we’re loving. First of all, notice the three different faucet installations from Brizo. The main faucet features smart-touch technology (tap lightly to turn on/off or hold to move without turning off the water), while a bar sink and pot filler add convenience for the home cook. The minimalist open-floor plan and fireplace also make us swoon!
A cool industrial vibe is gleaned from these faucets from Waterworks, where function meets fabulous. The internal mechanics are exposed, giving you something to gaze at in wonderment while you rinse your Champagne flutes.
Brass and black faucet finishes are also trending in the interior design world — we love how this classic-meets-modern combination fits in a wide variety of decor styles.
Beautiful Bathrooms
Airy, expansive open-floor plans extend to the bathroom, as well, lending a feeling of more space and letting the fixtures really pop. These brass faucets and showerheads from Brizo make a stylish statement while elevating your daily routines from simply cleansing to immersing yourself in spa-like luxury.
Style and substance come together beautifully in this shower system from Waterworks, with an overhead faucet joined by a bathtub spout and a wonderful shower “wand” that works like magic and cleans like a dream.
We believe that by enhancing your kitchen and bathroom fixtures, you can boost your spirits and improve your quality of life. We’re here to help you find the perfect fixtures and furnishings that create your ideal surroundings — find out how we can collaborate.

Destination Family Compounds: A Defining Luxury Trend for 2026
Luxury living in 2026 is being redefined, not by excess, but by intention. As families rethink how and where they gather, a new standard is emerging: the destination vacation family compound. These thoughtfully designed estates go beyond the traditional vacation home, offering a private, immersive environment where connection, autonomy, and legacy coexist.
Unlike resorts or single-home retreats, destination family compounds are designed to support real life across generations. A central residence anchors shared experiences, while secondary structures provide privacy and independence, allowing families to come together without sacrificing personal space. The result is a living environment that feels effortless, adaptable, and deeply personal.
At their best, these compounds are not seasonal escapes but enduring sanctuaries, places where traditions form, milestones are celebrated, and family history quietly unfolds over time.
