Bet you wouldn’t guess where this bright, warm home is ... (I sure didn’t. 😲).  

“My partner and I both lead very busy lives and our home is our sanctuary. It's also where I live and work—so creating a warm, inviting living room where we can relax, unwind and hang out with friends was really important to me. My ultimate goal was to create a comfortable, creatively inspiring room brimming with good vibes and positive energy! Our apartment is six years old and we purchased it from a builder who was inspired by earth's natural elements. That inspiration was one of the reasons I originally fell in love with this apartment—so I used that concept as my inspiration for our living room refresh as well.”

We’re *all* for a little pampering, especially when it involves not leaving home. Lucky for us, spa-inspired bathrooms are the latest thing taking over our Pinterest feeds, and we can’t get enough of them. Featuring everything from cascading rain shower heads to elegant deep-soak bathtubs, these swoon-worthy washrooms promise to give you the true royal treatment, all on your own time. Take a look below to see some of our favorite examples.

Stark mid century elegance...(that could probably benefit from a few fluffy throw pillows.).

Renowned Danish architect Poul Henningsen is believed to have once owned this house in Copenhagen, which local studio Norm Architects refurbished by opening up the interior to create bright rooms containing dark and tactile bespoke furniture.
