How To Make A Small Bathroom Feel Bigger

Today, I’m excited to share a project that we’ve been hinting at for a while…

This is one of those things I feel very strongly about.
Scale is one of the fastest ways to elevate a room... and one of the easiest to get wrong. I see it all the time: a space has beautiful pieces, but something still feels off. More often than not, itā€™s because everything is too small.

Our coffee table is a good example. Itā€™s intentionally larger because it helps the whole seating area read as one zone. It visually connects the sofa and chairs, gives everyone an actual surface within reach, and creates one strong focal point in the middle of the room.

If it were smaller, weā€™d need extra little tables to make the layout function, and all of those pieces would start competing with each other.

One larger piece often creates more calm than several smaller ones.

Save this for your next room refresh, and share it with someone whoā€™s trying to figure out why their space feels off.

Finally using our kitchen... and it feels so good šŸ„¹

We donā€™t take this for granted for a second! Having a fully working kitchen again truly feels like such a gift. Itā€™s always been the heart of our home, and after so many months without it, being back in this space feels extra special.

If youā€™ve been around here for a while, you know Derrick and I are major foodies.

And over the years, heā€™s become such an incredible cook... his recipes just keep getting better and better (lucky me ā˜ŗļø).

Thereā€™s something about cooking at home, slowing down, and gathering around a meal that just feels like us again.

Would you guys want to see more of what weā€™re cooking, like we used to share?

5 stars. I wanted to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome and a hotel inspired bed seemed like the perfect idea.

All of this bedding is from @onequince , comment ā€˜BEDā€™ and weā€™ll send you everything thatā€™s linked on our LTK.

This look isnā€™t for the ā€œanti-pillowsā€ person - in fact itā€™s all about the layering for that plush, all-white and cozy hotel inspired look.

Hereā€™s how to get this look in your home:
- Start with smooth, wrinkle-free sheets (a quick steam makes all the difference) I love the classic embroidered trim on these I used.
- Tuck your sheets tightly (especially the corners) for that tailored finish
- Layer in a plush duvet or comforter for that full, cloud-like feel (I like to stuff a duvet cover with an insert thats one size larger)
- And donā€™t skip the pillow layer technique (this is key!): I stacked four total for sleeping, two euro shams for structure, two decorative shams, and an oversized accent lumbar pillow (ours measures 18 x 42 in @LeeJofa fabric) to finish it off

Save for the next time you want a bed refresh!

Hereā€™s how to bring everything you love together. Without the chaos!

Comment ā€˜LOVEā€™ and Iā€™ll send you exactly how we define your base, choose your lead style, and mix in the rest so it actually works.

Most people think they have to choose one style... but thatā€™s usually not the problem. The issue is trying to make everything feel equally important.

If you want your home to feel collected (not confusing), you need a clear lead... and then layer in the rest.

The difference between a home that looks good... and one that feels good?
Itā€™s what your hands touch every day.

Plumbing fixtures.
Cabinet hardware.
Upholstery.

These arenā€™t always the most exciting decisions, but theyā€™re the ones you interact with constantly. And trust me, you notice the difference. If youā€™re going to invest anywhere, start here.

Save this + pass it along to someone designing a space right now!
