Enhance Your Bathroom with Custom Floating Vanities

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:13:21 GMT

Design Showcase Floating vanities are popping up everywhere in bathroom design. While creating a custom look, wall mounted vanities have many advantages. Being able to mount against the wall means you don’t have to rely on a floor surface yet still offering functionality in your bath design. Floating vanities are an excellent option for small spaces because it visually opens up the space, but does not have to limit your storage options. Whether you choose Wood-Mode, Durasupreme, or Bellmont cabinetry our vendors at Design Showcase in Napa California can custom make a floating vanity for your space. When we design a bath we combine the countertop material with the cabinet plus the faucet to make sure it all works together. Working together our designs can be traditional or contemporary. They can be made in a wide range of colors, woods, or styles. We can custom fit for width, length, or height to maximize function and design. Each floating vanity can be 6, 8, or 12” off the floor and still reach the adult height most people desire at 36” total. The countertop will be cut at any height to match with your cabinet below. Quartz from Caesarstone has been popular as easy care option. Your floating vanity can have doors or drawers. Wood-Mode, Durasupreme, or Bellmont cabinetry can be made with drawers under the sink while making a cut out for the plumbing. Drawers are handy for useful storage and more function while you will a clean contemporary look.

The Latest Tile Trend from Altea Tile: Timeless Texture Meets Modern Warmth

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 07:16:38 GMT

In 2025, design continues to shift toward a blend of natural warmth, vintage character, and understated luxury — and Altea Tile is leading this evolution with their latest tile collections. Known for their European-inspired craftsmanship and artful finishes, Altea’s newest designs bring a tactile, organic feel to interiors, as beautifully demonstrated in the two featured spaces.

1. Elevated Earthiness: The Statement Backsplash

The first space captures the revival of patterned texture — a trend that embraces both nostalgia and modern restraint. The bar nook features Altea’s intricately embossed tiles, finished in a warm terracotta tone that adds depth and artisanal charm. The tiles’ subtle geometric motif complements the brass shelving and rustic wood framing, creating a harmonious blend of contemporary sophistication and vintage appeal.

This look celebrates imperfection and tactility, encouraging designers to move away from overly sleek surfaces in favor of something more soulful and expressive. The result? A space that feels curated, grounded, and effortlessly inviting.

2. Soft Neutrals and Stone-Inspired Serenity

In contrast, the second space showcases Altea’s ability to turn everyday rooms — like laundry or utility areas — into serene sanctuaries. Here, the tile flooring features a stone-look hexagon pattern, offering organic variation in tone and texture. The muted gray palette complements creamy cabinetry and marble countertops, achieving a cohesive and calming design language.

This trend leans into the “quiet luxury” movement — focusing on tactile materials, natural hues, and timeless patterns that don’t demand attention but reward it. Altea’s stone-inspired tiles bring a sense of grounded elegance and durability, ideal for high-traffic areas that still deserve beauty.

3. The Altea Philosophy: Artistry in Every Detail

What sets Altea Tile apart is its commitment to craftsmanship and design storytelling. Their tiles are not just functional elements; they are artistic foundations for the modern home. Whether used to highlight a cozy bar alcove or elevate a laundry room, Altea’s tiles deliver warmth, pattern, and enduring beauty — perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles that value both style and substance.

Our Organic Contemporary Kitchen Design

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:13:55 GMT

Designing for clients can be rewarding but also challenging for everyone. The process from start to finish can depend on many factors. The first step is getting to know what the client is wanting for their space. This discussion between both parties needs to be clarified with product in the store and pictures from the homeowner. Afterall neither party are mind readers so our definition of contemporary could be different than the client’s idea. We have a Houzz account which can offer visuals to show the client as you talk through likes and dislikes. Our vendors like www.woodmode.com , www.durasupreme.com , www.europacabinetry.com, and www.bellmontcabinets.com are good sources to show projects and install options.

We started with discussions to talk about color, style, and doors. One of our latest projects is with a design concept of organic contemporary. What does this mean for her? She and I looked at pictures from Architectural Digest, www.remodelista.com, and other ideas from like Domino magazine. She wanted texture. She wanted clean line. She wanted the organic movement of a natural slab island. The colors should be neutral. As a designer I pushed for a high splash which can hide the recessed hood. This takes several meetings to talk together and carve out the overall look.

If the footprint is staying as is; then we can go to next steps. Yet if walls are changing then the contractor need to be involved to discuss all changes and permits. Once the new walls are built then we can start to measure the space and begin doing the layout of cabinets on our drawing program. Another meeting with her to talk about the cabinet sizes and what is inside. Where does she put her silverware and pots and pans. Does she have a cooking partner that needs another space for their chopping and dicing. All the appliances need to be decided since the cabinets have to custom fit around these choices.

The design is priced and reviewed with the customer because they may want to change the layout or add accessories. This is totally understandable that they may want to adapt your idea to their lifestyle choices. A lot of these choices are made up front, but there could be last minute preferences for say adding a servo mechanism to the recycle bin or a special height cabinet to hold an heirloom or art. Kitchen design is a detail job and math is critical from measurements to order placement. Since we do custom work our measurements are in fractions and we don’t use many fillers to make the most of storage for the client.

With final plans the designer places the order line by line with the factory with any special details requested by the client. We have cabinet vendors with lead times that vary from 3-11 weeks.

All of our designs are on a computer with notes for the installer. We review the plans with them to make sure we on both on the same page on how we what any moldings or fillers cut. Each vendor has different cabinet codes and descriptions. If the installer has never used this cabinet supplier

then we can review with them before they cut something incorrectly. The designer and installer have a great working relationship for a smooth end product.

The next step is measurement for the countertop which will require a template or pattern. The fabricator is trained and licensed to cut quartz and stone. They will the shape per our design and install the final product.

Lighting under cabinets should be purchased and installed while the countertop is produced.

After the cabinets are adjusted the installer can put on the selected handles or knobs. Please note getting the cabinets adjusted means the hinges and drawer glides can be tweaked to make all the cabinets line up visually.

The job is done! We always hope the client is happy with the result.
