Benefits of a Wet Room: Style, Comfort, and Everyday Ease - Lenton Company

Benefits of a Wet Room: Style, Comfort, and Everyday Ease

If you have been thinking about remodeling your bathroom, you may have heard the term wet room come up more frequently. A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the shower is open to the rest of the space, sometimes without a raised threshold or traditional enclosure. The result is a clean, open look that feels both modern and spa-like. Beyond its visual appeal, a wet room can transform the way you experience your daily routine.

Spacious Layout and Clean Lines

One of the biggest advantages of a wet room is the sense of space it creates. Without framed shower doors or bulky partitions, the room feels more open and calm. This layout works beautifully in both small and large bathrooms. Even a compact room can feel more expansive when the flooring continues uninterrupted throughout the space.

Easy Access for Every Stage of Life

If the design features a curbless shower, it means no step up and no barrier to navigate. This design is especially helpful for those planning to age in place or who simply want an easier, safer way to enter and exit the shower. The seamless flooring improves accessibility without making the space look clinical.

Simple to Clean and Maintain

A wet room has fewer tight corners, less hardware, and minimal glass, which translates to less scrubbing. Surfaces are easier to wipe down, and the open design allows water to drain efficiently. With the right materials in place, maintaining a wet room is refreshingly straightforward.

Built to Last

Because a wet room requires comprehensive waterproofing, it adds durability to one of the most frequently used areas of the home. This attention to moisture management protects the structure of the space and helps finishes stay beautiful over time. For homeowners, this means peace of mind as well as lasting value.

A Custom Look That Reflects You

A wet room opens the door to creative design choices. Large format tiles, natural stone, textured finishes, bold lighting, or a sculptural freestanding tub can all shine in an open layout. The space becomes more than a bathroom. It becomes a personal retreat.

Considering a Wet Room for Your Home?

A wet room is a thoughtful investment that combines style, function, and long-term performance. If you are curious whether this approach would work in your current layout, Lenton Company is happy to explore the possibilities with you.

DESIGN INSPIRATION: The Staying Power of Blue - Lenton Company

DESIGN INSPIRATION: The Staying Power of Blue

When it comes to design trends, some make a brief appearance while others settle in and evolve gracefully over time. Blue cabinetry is one of those enduring favorites. While the specific tones may shift from deep navy to rich ocean hues to soft smoky blues, the appeal remains strong. Blue offers personality without feeling overwhelming, and it pairs beautifully with both warm and cool elements in a space.

A current kitchen remodel that will become a featured project in a future newsletter showcases an inspiring mix of Ocean Blue Shaker cabinets paired with Light Gray Shaker accents. The combination offers contrast and depth while maintaining a calm, grounded feel. The cabinetry is balanced with a marble-like quartz countertop and a warm gold-toned faucet, bringing a touch of sophistication while keeping the palette cohesive.

Why Blue Works So Well

Blue has a unique ability to act as both a statement and a neutral. It can energize a space or create a sense of serenity depending on the shade and surrounding materials. In kitchens and bathrooms, where we spend time preparing for the day or unwinding from it, color plays a key role in how the space feels.

Over the past few seasons, we have seen homeowners embrace bold colors, jewel tones, and richer finishes. Blue fits naturally into this movement. It brings personality, feels timeless, and complements everything from natural wood to brushed metals to crisp whites.

Design Board: Details That Bring It All Together

  • Cabinetry: Ocean Blue Shaker and Light Gray Shaker finish create contrast with a sense of balance.
  • Countertops: Calacatta Azulean quartz adds elegance with subtle veining and soft movement.
  • Flooring: A warm wood-toned luxury vinyl plank grounds the room with organic warmth.
  • Faucet and Hardware: Brushed gold and bronze finishes add a refined, elevated touch without feeling flashy.

As shown in the design board image, these selections work together to create a look that is modern yet welcoming, bold yet harmonious.

More Blue Inspiration from Our Portfolio

If you love the enduring charm of blue, you’re in good company. Here are a few of our past projects that showcase how this timeless hue can bring character, depth, and sophistication to any space:

Each of these projects demonstrates how blue—whether subtle or bold—can adapt beautifully to a variety of styles, moods, and materials.

A Trend That Continues to Grow

This is not the first project where blue has taken center stage, and it certainly will not be the last. We have seen this palette successfully applied across kitchens and bathrooms from contemporary to coastal to classic styles. With thoughtful materials and balanced accents, blue continues to offer lasting style with room to express personality.

If you are considering refreshing your space and want a look that is both current and enduring, blue might be the perfect choice. Sometimes a little color can change everything.

DESIGN INSPIRATION: How “Intentional Clutter” Is Redefining Design - Lenton Company

DESIGN INSPIRATION: How “Intentional Clutter” Is Redefining Design

For years, the design world chased perfection (and often still does). Everything from clean countertops, colorless walls, and shelves that looked like they’d never seen a fingerprint. Minimalism reigned supreme, and “less is more” became the rule of modern living. But somewhere along the way, many of us began to miss something: personality.

Now, a new design philosophy is taking hold — and it’s anything but sterile. ELLE Decor calls it “intentional clutter.” It’s a layered, lived-in approach that celebrates the things that make a house feel like a home. According to the Pinterest 2025 report, searches for “eclectic maximalism” jumped 215% year-over-year and “vintage maximalism” surged by 260%.

The Return of Character

Instead of hiding away collections or keeping walls bare, homeowners are embracing the art of storytelling through design. A well-loved book stack, an assortment of vintage ceramics, or a gallery wall that mixes family photos with flea-market finds. All of it adds up to something richer than any minimalist aesthetic could achieve.

This new take on maximalism isn’t about chaos; it’s about curation. It’s the thoughtful arrangement of objects that hold meaning, where every item earns its place because it says something about you.

Design with a Personal Touch

At Lenton Company, we see this shift every day. Homeowners aren’t asking for “perfectly polished” anymore. They’re asking for authentic. A kitchen filled with color and texture. A home office shelf lined with travel mementos. A cozy living room where comfort matters as much as composition.

The best part? Intentional clutter isn’t just about how it looks; it’s about how it feels. It gives a space soul. It reminds you of where you’ve been and invites conversation when others walk through the door.

How to Get the Look (Without Losing Control)

Start with meaning. Gather items that tell your story and edit with care. It’s less about quantity and more about connection. Layer textures and heights for visual rhythm: place a sculpture beside a stack of art books or hang a bold painting above a cozy reading chair. And most importantly, give your treasures room to breathe. Even maximalism benefits from moments of calm.

Living Beautifully, Not Perfectly

The truth is, homes aren’t meant to be showroom pristine. They’re meant to be lived in. “Intentional clutter” celebrates that beautiful imperfection, offering a design style that evolves alongside your life.

So go ahead: hang the mismatched art, display the quirky collectibles, and let your personality spill into every corner. Because sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are the ones that feel just a little bit delightfully full.

BONUS: Design Worksheet – How to Master “Intentional Clutter” in Your Home

A Lenton Company Guide to Curated Maximalism

Step 1: Define Your Story

Before styling, think about what you want your home to say about you.
— What do you collect or love most?
— What colors or textures make you feel happy?
— Which spaces tell your story best — the entry, kitchen shelves, or living room?

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: “Intentional clutter” starts with meaning. Choose pieces that represent your interests, travels, or memories.

Step 2: Curate, Don’t Accumulate

Gather items that deserve a spot in your display.
— Group objects by theme, color, or material.
— Edit ruthlessly and only keep what makes you smile.
— Store the rest for seasonal rotation.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: Three coordinated vignettes have more impact than a dozen random piles.

Step 3: Layer for Visual Interest

— Mix heights — tall vases, medium candles, small trinkets.
— Combine textures — glass, ceramic, wood, metal, and fabric.
— Anchor displays with books, trays, or art for depth.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: Think of your space as a collage — every layer should contribute harmony or contrast.

Step 4: Balance with Breathing Room

— Leave open space between objects for rest and rhythm.
— Maintain clear surfaces for daily function.
— Step back and assess: does your room feel alive and not crowded?

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: If your eye can rest, your space can breathe.

Step 5: Evolve Over Time

— Swap pieces seasonally to keep things fresh.
— Revisit what’s displayed each year — your story evolves, and your home can too.
— Photograph your favorite arrangements for future inspiration.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: Intentional clutter is never static — it’s a living expression of who you are.

The Benefits of an ADU: Keeping Family Close While Preserving Independence - Lenton Company

The Benefits of an ADU: Keeping Family Close While Preserving Independence

As families evolve, so do the ways we live together. For many homeowners, the desire to keep loved ones close while ensuring everyone maintains a sense of privacy and independence has made Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) a popular and practical solution. Whether designed for aging parents, adult children, or extended family, an ADU provides the perfect balance between connection and autonomy.

A Safe Haven, Steps Away

Safety is often the first consideration when planning for an aging loved one. Having a family member nearby means peace of mind knowing help is within reach if needed. ADUs can be designed with accessibility and comfort in mind: no-step entries, wider doorways, barrier-free showers, and open circulation spaces that accommodate changing mobility needs. These thoughtful details ensure that the home remains safe, functional, and welcoming at every stage of life.

Independence with Connection

An ADU offers the best of both worlds. It allows family members to maintain their own routines and privacy while staying closely connected to the main household. Separate entrances, full kitchens, and personal living spaces foster independence, yet shared outdoor areas like patios or gardens encourage togetherness. From shared morning coffee to family dinners, the connection remains strong without compromising personal space.

A Smart Long-Term Investment

Beyond the personal benefits, building an ADU is a smart investment. It can add significant value to a property and provide flexibility for changing family dynamics. What begins as a home for an aging parent might later become space for a college graduate, a guest suite, or even a rental that generates additional income. With California’s supportive legislation, ADUs have become an increasingly attainable way to enhance both lifestyle and property value.

Designed for Living, Built for Life

At Lenton Company, we believe every ADU should reflect the individuality of its occupant while blending seamlessly with the surrounding home. Our design-build approach ensures that every detail from layout to finishes supports comfort, safety, and long-term enjoyment.

Whether you’re planning ahead for aging parents or envisioning a flexible multigenerational living solution, an ADU offers a thoughtful way to keep family close while allowing everyone to thrive independently.

Finding Your Perfect Soak: Choosing the Right Bathtub for Your Remodel - Lenton Company

Finding Your Perfect Soak: Choosing the Right Bathtub for Your Remodel

When planning a bathroom remodel, one of the most exciting decisions you’ll make is choosing a bathtub. Beyond being a practical fixture, a tub can set the tone for how you relax, rejuvenate, and use your space. From quick soaks to long spa-like retreats, the right tub can elevate your lifestyle. Here’s a guide to the most popular bathtub styles and what they say about the way you live.

Freestanding Tubs: A Spa at Home

Freestanding tubs have become a hallmark of modern luxury. Sculptural in design, they stand alone as a focal point in the bathroom. Perfect for homeowners who see their bath as an escape, freestanding tubs provide a deep, immersive soak. They’re ideal for those who love long, indulgent baths and want to create a spa-like retreat within your own home.

Alcove Tubs: Family-Friendly and Efficient

An alcove tub is installed against three walls, often with a showerhead above. This classic option is space-efficient and versatile, making it a favorite for families. If bath time doubles as playtime for kids, or you need the functionality of a tub-shower combo, the alcove style offers the best of both worlds. It’s practical, straightforward, and works well in bathrooms of all sizes.

Drop-In Tubs: Custom Comfort

Drop-in tubs are designed to “drop” into a pre-built platform or surround, giving you the flexibility to add storage or create a dramatic deck around your tub. This option suits those who value customization and want a more built-in, polished look. If your dream bathroom includes candles, bath trays, and a place to rest your favorite book, a drop-in tub could be your perfect fit.

Corner Tubs: Maximizing Space

Corner tubs are shaped to fit snugly into a bathroom corner, often larger in size and designed for soaking or even two-person use. This style is well-suited for homeowners who want to make the most of an unconventional layout. It’s also a good option if you enjoy baths as a shared experience or simply want extra room to stretch out.

Jetted Tubs: Hydrotherapy at Home

For those who crave more than just a soak, jetted tubs offer hydrotherapy benefits. Whether air jets for gentle bubbles or water jets for a more vigorous massage, these tubs are designed with relaxation and wellness in mind. They’re perfect if you want a tub that doubles as a stress-reliever or therapeutic tool for sore muscles.

Clawfoot Tubs: Timeless Charm

Clawfoot tubs bring a touch of vintage elegance with their distinctive raised feet. They appeal to homeowners who love classic style and a sense of history in their design. Deep and inviting, they’re wonderful for those who see the bath as a slow, restorative ritual.

Soak It All In
Your bathtub choice should reflect more than just the look of your bathroom—it should reflect your lifestyle. Whether you’re designing a family-friendly space, a personal spa, or a timeless retreat, the right tub can transform everyday routines into moments of comfort and joy.

DESIGN INSPIRATION: Art Deco Is Back: How to Bring Glamour and Geometry into Your Next Remodel - Lenton Company

DESIGN INSPIRATION: Art Deco Is Back: How to Bring Glamour and Geometry into Your Next Remodel

If you’ve been craving a design refresh that’s bold, elegant, and a little dramatic, you’re in luck: Art Deco is back and louder than ever. According to Elle Decor, the trend is making a serious comeback in 2025, offering a compelling counterpoint to the subdued, minimalist looks that have dominated for the last decade.

Art Deco’s signature style is all about clean lines, symmetry, metallic shine, geometric patterns, contrast, and luxurious detail. Think sunbursts, chevrons, bold color pairings, mirrored surfaces, and lavish finishes.

Elements to Try: The Deco Details

Art Deco design thrives on a combination of drama, elegance, and precision. When bringing this style into your remodel, consider layering in these hallmark details.

Symmetry and Geometry are at the heart of Art Deco. Strong shapes like arches, chevrons, and sunbursts create striking focal points, while balanced layouts and repeating forms add structure. Think geometric tile patterns on a shower wall, grid-like cabinetry, or even light fixtures with bold shapes adding a touch of Deco flair.

Metallic Accents deliver the shine that makes Deco so glamorous. Chrome, polished nickel, brass, and gold tones serve as essential highlights. You can incorporate them through cabinet hardware, faucets, lighting, mirror edges, or even a slim metallic strip running through tile. The smallest gleam of metal brings an instant air of luxury.

Luxe Materials and Finishes set Deco apart from simpler styles. Glossy surfaces, veined marble, rich woods, and mirrored details all reflect the opulence of the era. Consider marble countertops, a black-and-white patterned floor, a mirrored backsplash, or high-gloss cabinetry to bring richness and depth to your space.

Bold Color with Contrast adds personality. Saturated hues like emerald green, teal, inky blue, or gold pop when paired with neutrals or deep blacks. A vanity in a jewel tone, dark tile accents in a shower, or brass hardware against a moody wall can all strike the perfect balance of bold and beautiful.

Ornamentation and Detail round out the look. Molding, inlays, fluting, scallops, and stylized patterns give Art Deco its unmistakable character. Picture crown molding with stepped edges, fluted cabinet doors, a decorative tile border, or a statement mirror with a sunburst frame with each element bringing a layer of artistry to your design.

Together, these elements transform a room into a space that’s as functional as it is unforgettable proving that Art Deco’s timeless glamour is here to stay.

From Standard to Standout: Transforming a Tract Home Kitchen - Lenton Company

From Standard to Standout: Transforming a Tract Home Kitchen

For many homeowners, buying a tract home means living with a kitchen layout that’s been repeated hundreds—maybe even thousands—of times in various neighborhoods. Built decades ago, these designs often feature the same walls, cabinets, and configurations as every other home in the model line. While they may have been functional for their time, they rarely reflect the way families live today.

But here’s the good news—a standard layout doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. With thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship, a tract home kitchen can be transformed into a truly unique, custom space that feels fresh, modern, and entirely your own. In fact, we’ve remodeled this same tract home kitchen in this month’s featured project multiple times!

Some recent remodels began with a standard builder’s footprint of a kitchen that felt closed in and dated, limiting how the family household could cook, gather, and entertain. By reimagining the footprint—removing a wall to open the space, reconfiguring cabinets for better storage, and adding a large island for prep and seating—we created kitchens that function beautifully for our homeowners’ lifestyle. Finishes like custom-colored cabinetry, statement lighting, and modern hardware elevate the look, while details tailored to each homeowner’s taste made it unmistakably theirs.

Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek modern style, a warm farmhouse feel, or a blend of old and new, the possibilities go far beyond the builder’s blueprint. Your kitchen can be more than just functional—it can be a reflection of you.

DESIGN INSPIRATION: The ’90s Revival… Cozy, Curvy & Colorful Comebacks - Lenton Company

DESIGN INSPIRATION: The ’90s Revival… Cozy, Curvy & Colorful Comebacks

Everyone has a personal style—and that’s what makes design so endlessly exciting. This month’s featured homeowner knew the 1990s builder blueprint in her kitchen didn’t work for her lifestyle or taste, so we reimagined it into something timeless, functional, and perfectly her own. But while that particular ’90s layout was a no-go, the decade’s influence is making a stylish comeback in other parts of the home. From warm woods to soft curves, designers are revisiting the comfort and charm of the era, layering it with modern sensibilities for a fresh take on nostalgia, according to what’s trending in Elle Décor.

In this month’s featured project—a serene, spa-inspired primary bathroom—the homeowner had a clear vision: a beautiful, functional retreat with a place for everything… including her dog’s water bowl. Rather than leaving it as an afterthought, we designed a custom floating vanity with just the right amount of clearance underneath. This not only keeps the bowl tucked neatly out of sight but also prevents it from becoming a tripping hazard or visual distraction in an otherwise sleek space.

1. Warm Woods, Jewel Tones & Chic Metals

Beloved in the ’90s, honey oak cabinetry and rich jewel tones are reappearing—this time with a sophisticated twist. Designers are pairing oak or walnut with softened color palettes and sleek metallic accents. Chrome, once left in the shadow of brass, is stepping back into the spotlight alongside brushed finishes for a balanced, modern look. Deep jewel tones like burgundy and emerald green are back in a big way. Behr’s 2025 Color of the Year, “Rumors,” is a moody red that channels the era’s drama with a more sophisticated edge.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: To create warmth with chrome finishes, mix wood furniture with chrome lighting or cabinet pulls for texture contrast. To add color depth, Use a bold jewel tone as an accent wall or an upholstery.

2. Soft Curves, Bold Shapes, Chunky Furniture

Goodbye sharp edges—hello curves. Arched doorways, rounded kitchen islands, scalloped cabinetry, and plush, curved seating all nod to the organic shapes popular in the ’90s while keeping things fresh and inviting. Oversized sofas, deep-seated armchairs, and bold silhouettes are back—and designers are updating them with better proportions and sophisticated materials to keep the look fresh.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: To create curves, choose a rounded sofa common scalloped cabinet fronts, or an arched doorway detail.

3. Mixing Eras for a Modern Remix

Today’s retro revival isn’t about recreating the past—it’s about remixing it. ’90s-inspired textures and silhouettes mingle with mid-century or contemporary elements for a curated, “collected over time” feel. This mirrors the Korean “Newtro” concept, where nostalgic design elements are seamlessly woven into contemporary style.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: To blend eras, pair vintage 90s finds with modern furnishings for an eclectic feel.

4. Graphic Patterns and Playful Prints

Maximalist prints, Memphis-inspired shapes, and vibrant patterns are reemerging, especially in textiles and accent pieces. Warm, inviting materials like bouclé and chenille are being reintroduced, especially in pieces with soft, sculptural curves. These textiles offer a balance of plush comfort and modern polish. A well-placed rug or throw pillow can be the perfect low-commitment way to try the trend.

LENTON COMPANY PRO TIP: For playful graphics, add pattern throw pillows or artwork for a pop of personality.

5. Unexpected Materials: Formica
Formica—once a quintessentially ’90s surface—is returning in small, intentional doses: think lamp shades, trays, and accessories. It’s nostalgia with restraint.

Why It Matters

This isn’t a wholesale revival—this is evolution. The best of ’90s design is resurfacing with modern sensibilities: richer textures, thoughtful proportions, and meaningful accents. Even though the specific layout in our featured kitchen didn’t work, other aspects of ’90s charm—like cozy comfort, inviting textures, and bold color—are finding new life in the rest of the home.

Embrace what speaks to you—whether it’s a jewel-toned accent wall, a sculptural bouclé chair, or a playful wallpaper border—and integrate it in a way that feels personal, not kitschy. That’s the essence of timeless design: nostalgia that speaks to you, not the era.

Today’s homeowners are reimagining their spaces with everyone in mind—including the family pet. At Lenton Company, we’ve seen a growing trend in remodels that thoughtfully incorporate pet-friendly features without compromising style or sophistication.

In this month’s featured project—a serene, spa-inspired primary bathroom—the homeowner had a clear vision: a beautiful, functional retreat with a place for everything… including her dog’s water bowl. Rather than leaving it as an afterthought, we designed a custom floating vanity with just the right amount of clearance underneath. This not only keeps the bowl tucked neatly out of sight but also prevents it from becoming a tripping hazard or visual distraction in an otherwise sleek space.

DESIGN INSPIRATION: Plumbing Trends That Blend Style, Comfort, and Innovation - Lenton Company

DESIGN INSPIRATION: Plumbing Trends That Blend Style, Comfort, and Innovation

Plumbing may be behind the walls, but today’s innovations are bringing it front and center in both form and function. From the bathroom to the kitchen, here’s what’s trending—and inspiring—when it comes to plumbing design.

Smart Shower Solutions

Safety and style are coming together in new ways in the bathroom. At Lenton Company, we’re seeing elegant, built-in grab bars, sleek ADA-compliant fixtures, and thoughtful layouts that prioritize accessibility without compromising aesthetics. One particularly inspiring trend? Integrated shower niches that are designed around the showerhead itself. These streamlined designs combine convenience with visual harmony, keeping shower essentials within reach—without interrupting the tile layout.

The Return of the Clawfoot Tub

Freestanding tubs have been a staple in luxury bathrooms, but now the classic clawfoot tub is making a comeback—with a twist. Updated materials, matte finishes, and modern silhouettes give this vintage favorite a fresh feel. Paired with stylish floor-mounted tub fillers, they offer timeless charm and a true focal point for spa-inspired spaces.

Everyday Upgrades That Make a Big Difference

In the kitchen, workstation sinks remain a top choice, offering built-in cutting boards, drying racks, and colanders for ultimate efficiency. Behind the scenes, homeowners are investing in better living through plumbing:

  • Garbage disposals with quieter motors and advanced grinding systems
  • Water filtration systems that improve taste and reduce contaminants
  • Instant hot water dispensers for tea, coffee, and cooking, right at your fingertips

These upgrades may not steal the spotlight, but they elevate daily routines in a big way.

Designing with Intention

As with all aspects of home remodeling, the best plumbing solutions are those that align with how you live. Whether it’s a safer shower, a kitchen built for cooking, or simply the luxury of hot water on demand, today’s trends prove that thoughtful plumbing is more than pipes—it’s peace of mind.
