Should you ditch your bathtub for a walk-in shower? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bathtubs. It’s almost easy to take their presence for granted, like salt and pepper shakers on the dinner table. But while nearly every home seems to have a tub, the bathroom mainstay may not survive modern cleansing rituals. A 2026 report on North American bath trends found that more than half of industry experts believe it’s worth scrapping a bathtub for a larger shower, while a Houzz report from last year found that a quarter of those who recently renovated their bathrooms removed their tubs.
How to choose a comfortable – yet stylish – kitchen stool, according to design experts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Montreal interior designer Paule Bourbonnais knows the value of a good kitchen stool. She has two teenage daughters, who, after school, often pull up to the counter. “They do homework and I cook dinner,” she says. “It’s been like this since kindergarten.” For the past 10 years, Bourbonnais has had X Stools from Italian brand Alma.

Creative or claustrophobic? Why ‘cloffices’ – closet workspaces – are on the rise (opens the original)

Amanda Yip knows the value of storage. She’s raising two young children, aged 2 and 4, in a 600-square-foot Toronto condo.

Like a sparkly brooch on a grey blazer or the one quirky guest at an otherwise quiet dinner party, the surface can add colour and personality. At the same time, it must also protect the wall from myriad threats, including sloshing water, splattering grease and flying bits of food. A good one is durable and eye-catching, even years after
With a zinc roof, cathedral ceilings and stone hearth, this family cottage is built for awe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Norm Chang was thinking about designing a new cottage, he had two specific requests for his architect, Barbora Vokac Taylor. He wanted a double-height space, something that wasn’t possible when Ms. Vokac Taylor previously renovated his downtown Toronto home (“the floor plate was too tight,” she says). He also wanted a zinc roof, a hardy material that can last a long time – sometimes 100 years or more – long enough to pass the cottage down to the next generation. Chang has two children under
