Never underestimate the importance of lighting for your kitchen. Whether you’re cooking, eating, cleaning, or organizing, you will need plenty of light in the right places.

Redoing a bathroom requires making a thousand decisions, but none is arguably so impactful on the overall effect as tile.

As you prepare to design or remodel your bathroom, don’t overlook the importance of saving space.

Thus by designing in a way that wastes as lit...
