What’s Hot in Hardware Part 2-Weathered Hardware

April 28, 2015 Jigsaw Design Leave a comment

With the serge of the industrial modern home as well as the farmhouse, we see strong growth in weathered patinas in hardware. From kitchen and bath to door knobs and knockers in bronze, brass and copper alike are being installed in weathered patinas to support these styles that are going strong.

Vintage styles and shapes play well into the weathered hardware aesthetic. Restoration Hardware are experts at rebirthing antique shapes and making them fresh with a modern flair. We love the mix of reclaimed wood and bronze faucets in their Logan Washstand. Pair it with the bronze filament sconce and your bathroom is instantly updated with this timeless weathered look.

Following the vintage vibe is the classic schoolhouse fixture by Rejuvenation. The schoolhouse style flourished from the 1920’s to the 1950’s at it’s peak, found not only in schools, but homes and commercial settings. While this style of lamp has many translations, Rejuvenation has done a great job of interpreting this look and making it reasonably priced.

While the clawfoot tub has made a big comeback in recent years, adding the weathered bronze feet brings a unique touch to detail your bath to the nines.

Weathered patinas are not limited to the industrial or farmhouse feel. Many interpretations can be found in sleeker more modern shapes like this Yokato brushed brass faucet. Their collect consists of clean and simple geometric lines and slender trims. The styles are sophisticated, well crafted and beautiful to behold.

The front door of your home or office is the first impression and should directly reflect the overall interior style of your space. Therefore when adding weathered hardware throughout the interiors, updating the front door hardware is a must. Rocky Mountain Hardware and Ashley Norton featured below offer a large selection of front door hardware in weathered patinas, all in beautiful shapes and meticulously crafted.

What’s Hot in Hardware Part 1: Rose Gold

April 21, 2015 Jigsaw Design 2 Comments

Hardware is not just a finishing touch in the home anymore, it’s a showpiece. With sleeker styles and fresh new finishes hardware for the kitchen and bath are taking on a more important role. In previous posts we discussed how we love Rose Gold here at Jigsaw, and these hot hardware pieces are fueling our fire.

Knobs and drawer pulls are introduced in updated shapes with a modern flair, or classic with a twist. We love the polished Rose Gold dice knobs and simple drawer pulls, while typical in design the rose color gives it a fresh look. These small details result in a powerful update to your kitchen or bath.

How many hours will you log in front of the kitchen sink every week? You may as well love the faucet you’ll be spending all that time with. Who wouldn’t splurge on these Cyprum DornBracht faucets? The CYPRUM series is high-gloss finished hardware produced by using 18-carat gold and copper. In giving the hardware a warm glow it carries a more earthy vibe than any other hardware finish.

Complete the bathroom’s warm characteristic by installing a Rose Gold rain shower for the ultimate in pampering after a long hard day. Coupled with the hand held shower head, you’ll never want to leave your luxury retreat.

Rose Gold lighting and accessories are becoming more abundant in the marketplace as we see this trend growing. Rejuvenation is a great resource for lighting, hinges, cup pulls and more. The following image is a sample of a few Rose Gold pieces from Rejuvenation that the Jigsaw Designers love to use.

When updating your hardware as a new design element in a particular room it is best to add a few touches of the new finish throughout the home to blend well. A few fun Rose Gold ideas could be adding utensils to your mix which will bring this metallic from the kitchen to the dining room. If you are a fan of oversized mixers the Rose Gold mixer by Kitchen Aid would be the perfect finishing touch as well as conversation starter.

Lemon Yellow-Summer’s Color

April 13, 2015 Jigsaw Design Leave a comment

As summer approaches we naturally crave warm sunny colors like lemon yellow, which is arguably the happiest color in the spectrum. This cheeky color was the hot color for spring runways during New York’s fashion week. In this post we will explore fun ways to add lemon yellow to your space to catch this summer loving trend.

This playful hue has big personality and blends well with most colors. For wow factor, pop lemon yellow in a navy and white room. The look is crisp and the yellow lightens the weight of the navy creating a cheery mood.

The Jigsaw Designers love the classic look of lemon yellow with black and white that transcends time. While the following spaces have a midcentury feel they still remain sharp and modern. The cheerfulness of the yellow keeps the black and white from appearing too formal or serious. Even the restaurant in the images below with all black interiors play off as happy and light with the yellow epoxy floors.

Being a very optimistic color this natural hue, inspired by lemons, is always associated with sunshine and happiness. Yellow is proven to stimulate the mind and is believed to be physically revitalizing. The energy is obvious in the rooms below; even with the layers of bright colors the yellow is a blast of energy that brings balance to these ultra feminine spaces.

Yellow being the symbol of joy and peace in the Chinese Feng Shui theory, it can be used in any room of the home, even in the bathroom. We love these quirky tiles in the bathrooms below. The patterns are interesting and the fun pop of yellow give these small rooms a lift.

Lighten you mood with sunny lemon yellow wether a little or lot, it will brighten your day. While the list of bright yellow paint colors are great, our favorite lemon yellow is called Lemon Twist by Benjamin Moore.

Updating Your Foyer

April 1, 2015 Jigsaw Design Leave a comment

What does your entry way say about your style? Crowded with tchotchkes ? Overrun with shoes? In this post we will show you quick ways to streamline your foyer and give it a little kick while keeping it functional.

We all dream of having the grand entrance fit for a king, but that’s not always realistic. Small entries are typical for city dweller and beach lovers alike. So how do you make an impact in a compact space? Rule #1, get rid of the table with knickknacks galore. Simplify with a few balanced accessories, a mirror or art work for the wall, and touch of storage or stool for removing shoes.

You’ve removed the clutter, now add the pop. No matter the scale being grand or petit, the Jigsaw team are big fans of wall paper. It’s serves many purposes; style, texture and personality! Adding wallpaper creates a bit of whimsy to the space and can serve as artwork, leaving the need for only a few finishing touches.

For an element of surprise, decorating the ceiling creates instant wow factor. We love this gold leaf ceiling in the entrance of this small apartment. The gold gives a regal appearance while remaining simple and understated.

Wallpaper is not only for the walls. The ceiling space in an entryway is usually somewhat separate from the rest of the home, so a little wall paper goes a long way. The herringbone paper in the image below is from target and is removable. If you are tired of it in a year, simply remove it!

Don’t be afraid of the dark either; dark charcoal or black walls make a statement in an entryway creating an artistic mood and setting the tone for the remainder of your trendsetting pad.

The options are endless for the standout entryway. While following a few simple rules of keeping it minimal and meticulous, yet filled with personality, your entrance is sure to be welcoming.
