The sun had long since hidden itself beneath the horizon when Tav had pulled her silvery-haired vampire from his bed. The book he had previously busied himself with lies open on the borrowed Elfsong mattress, forgotten, pages illuminated by the flickering flames of cream-colored candles left melting into warm, transparent pools.

The upper floor of the tavern is quiet for once. The rest of their party had gone out to explore the city after dark, offering up their coin to The Blushing Mermaid in exchange for a mug or four of cheap ale. Astarion had feigned indifference about going out, and Wyll had put on quite the show to try and sway him into joining them, dancing around on light feet and acting out how he’d make good friends with one of the drunkards stumbling around on the streets below, expertly selling him an unpredictable and unforgettable night of fun that he wouldn’t want to miss. By the end of it all, Gale had been in stitches and it had taken everything in Shadowheart to suppress her chuckle behind the back of her hand. She ultimately had failed, and Astarion had caved, and that was what had prompted Tav to fake a sudden, threatening sickness that kept them both rooted to the upper floor of the Elfsong while everyone else set out in search for the Mermaid.

The second the door had closed behind Halsin, leaving them alone in the room, he’d let out an exhale that had been trapped in his chest and thanked Tav with a lingering kiss to her temple.

—

Two pairs of bare feet pad across smooth floorboards that squeak with age, and a shorter body leads another blindly, clasped together by a hand. She leads him through the tavern’s private halls and around corners until they reach a door that is nothing short of ordinary. It’s the bathing room–a place to cleanse the body. They’ve both turned the water pink more than a handful of times before, cleansing their skin clean of their sins.

“Oh, darling,” he says, his voice silky smooth and his tongue dripping in honey. Tav reaches for the knob, twisting cool bronze in her palm and pulling him inside after her. The vampire spawn huffs through his nose, his eyes on the back of her head, and continues. “If what you wanted was to get wet then we could’ve snuck off into bed earlier…”

She chooses to pretend to not hear him.

The rich and melodic song of a flute somewhere outside floats in through the window left ajar, and Tav drops Astarion’s calloused hand, making her way towards the beautiful, hand-carved cabinet full of jars and bottles of every color and shape while he remains stuck to the floor where he entered, unsure of what is expected of him. Potions crafted carefully for the bath line the shelves when Tav pulls open the door, not for healing nor for harm like they’ve become so acquainted while weighed down by leather and metals and surrounded in the heat of battle, and the pad of her index finger glides over the faded labels while she reads.

“Astarion, my love, you’re nothing but correct. But I would’ve done so an hour ago if that was what I was up to.”

She glances over her shoulder to catch his crimson colored eyes, a blue bottle with a thin neck and curving handle clutched in her hand, and watches as his brow pulls together only slightly. His head tilts to the right and a flutter of fondness builds in her chest at the sight.

“I’m afraid you’ve lost me.”

Tav continues to gather a selection of bottles and jars, arranging them on the nearby vanity and collecting a pile of fresh towels to join them, all while the man behind her watches and makes the occasional suggestion about getting messy. The tub in the center of the room has been filled prior to their arrival and the water inside is a nice warm temperature. Tav dips her fingers into it, humming in approval and looking up to Astarion who has busied himself fiddling with the edge of his shirt. He rubs the mended hem between his fingers. Worrying the slide of the fabric back and forth between his fingers until the threads snap again and the fabric goes thin.

He looks confused and a bit unsure of what has been presented to him, but when Tav studies his features for any signs of discomfort or unease, she finds none. It’s a relief for both of them amongst the unspoken offerings being made.

Tav stares at her partner. The vampire spawn looks right back.

“Close the door, Astarion. Please?”

He breaks his gaze to find the edge of the door, pushing it the rest of the way closed until it slides snugly into its solid wood frame. Tav is still there when he returns his eyes to her. And so is the tub.

“Do you trust me?”

His eyes flick back up to meet hers, which have failed yet to break away from his face. Watching, observing, for any signs of discomfort. Waiting, offering him a chance to escape from this weirdness if he so desires to or suddenly feels trapped.

He nods, swallows. His throat bobs as he does. “Of course I do.” His voice sounds small. A stark contrast to the confidence that dripped from his tongue only minutes prior.

Tav keeps her eyes on his and raises her hands to the laces of her blouse, finding the ends of the ties and pulling them apart until the bows fall apart. One by one, she loosens the strings until it’s hanging from her chest and she pulls the fabric up and over her head. When her fingers drop to the front of her pants next, Astarion’s mind clouds with images of filth and heat, memories of late nights and glimpses of red hot passion. His tongue loosens up in his mouth like an old habit he can’t seem to shake and he begins to speak at the same time that he pulls his own shirt from his body. Tav ignores his words tainted with flirtation and filth and begins to work the corks from the bottles set aside, pouring them into the water with lips sealed tight and her back to him, allowing him a moment to undress on his own terms while he comes back to himself.

His shirt falls in a pile on the floor and becomes forgotten. His pants follow soon after. Still, Tav pays him no attention. The words that spill from his lips like sick refuse to stop and if he could flush hot with embarrassment, he would. Bare as the day he was born, clothes tossed aside, she still makes no advance to touch him. Second by everlasting second, the cloud in his head disperses.

She shares the flame of an oil lamp to several candles and disperses them throughout the room. The atmosphere becomes bathed in golden light, shifting, shimmering in shades of yellow and orange. The aromas from the bath oils fill the room. Astarion has been reduced to silence once again. He manages to clear his throat. The slight chill seeping in from the open window licks at his already cool skin and he suddenly feels very naked. “Is this a ritual?”

Tav lights the final candle and extinguishes the lamp. The rest of her clothing finds the floor and she steps into the tub, running her fingers over the surface to mix and disperse the bubbles and oils that float on top. “Of sorts.”

She moves so eloquently. Gracefully. And he watches her as she descends down into the water. It welcomes her like she holds a divinity for it and cradles her frame, and finally, once she’s settled on the bottom, she offers him her hand.

She guides him towards her, pulling him closer and urging him to join her, and with two big steps he steps into the space she’d left for him behind her. Hesitant and lacking instruction or guidance, he manages to settle. His legs feel much too long bracketing her in on both sides of her hips. The tops of his knees nudge against her sides and he allows them to as a passive reminder that he is there. Perhaps it’s a reminder for both of them.

Tav lets her hair down from its hold, running her fingers through the strands and wetting them with her palms, and Astarion wants to reach out to touch. He wants to comb through the knots and run his manicured nails over her skin, but his hands remain glued to the tub’s edge. Braced for whatever comes next in this strange ritual… Of sorts.

The water swirls as Tav cups the nice-smelling liquid in her palms, raising it to her shoulders and letting it drip over her skin until it shines and the air swims with floral aromas. When she rolls her head to the side and moves away her hair over her shoulder Astarion can’t sit still any longer. He leans forward and buries his face in her neck, nosing at her slick skin and teasing the artery there that's still healing from the last time he fed. He’s careful there as he drinks up the scent of her skin and his hands shake, that yearning to touch stronger than ever, and he gives into it, dipping his arms under the surface of the water to touch familiar skin and memorize her on instinct alone. Just as he has done so many times before.

He sighs deep and heavy when one of her hands reaches up behind him to scrape over his scalp, and dips his tongue into the shell of her ear.

“So when do we begin?” He asks, his voice so quiet it’s nearly a whisper. She pulls at the curls at the nape of his neck until he detaches from her skin. “Now.”

“What shall I do, my love?”

This strange ritual.

Those three words ring around his head, rich, like bells, and she whispers back.

“Relax.”

That lost feeling returns when she begins to lean back and crowd his space, pressing her back to his chest until he’s forced to support her weight in the water. When she becomes pleasantly weighted on him he leans back as well, reclining until they fall together as one body within the tub. When they’re both comfortable, Tav sighs and rubs at his knees on either side of her hips. Her eyes have fallen shut. Is she sleeping?

“Darling,” he says, and Tav hums sweetly, “which ritual is this?”

“The only ritual I'm succumbing you to is my raw devotion to you.”

His brow furrows despite the way that his chest manages to bloom with something nice inside, and she tilts her chin up to lay a lingering kiss to the underside of his jaw. It’s only then that he realizes how his body has tensed again, but not out of anything unpleasant. “Relax,” she reminds him, and despite everything in his brain screaming at him for the foreignness of this devotion, he does.

I always have high hopes for old homes when I see the exteriors, but I get shot down when I see the interiors. Here is a case where they brag about the original features, but the renovation choices are much too modern.

This is an 1892 Queen Anne, known as the “Herndon House,” in Owenton, Kentucky. It has 4bs. 3ba. and is listed for $449K. So, the first thing they brag about is the original iron fence. That’s wonderful.

BUT, they have an original fence and covered the house in vinyl siding, railings, and lattice. It looks like those new repro Victorian development homes.

In the entrance hall, there’s a beautiful staircase and pocket doors.

This lamp, however, is new. I don’t know if the original newel post had a light, or if they decided to adapt a new fixture. If it had one before, it would’ve been a bronze statue.

Here, they’re showing the buyers the special door knobs.

Here they show that the fireplace surround is original, but where’s the rest of it? They could’ve tried to duplicate it, at least with the mirror and pillars, but chose to use a small new mantle, painted white.

They made everything new and hung an antique fixture, so the room doesn’t do it justice.

The sitting rooms and dining room are so bland. Yes, there’re pocket doors, but what did they do with the other fireplaces?

And, look what they did to the kitchen. It’s super modern and doesn’t fit.

This home has service stairs- they modernized them, but at least they left them.

Upstairs, they brightened the bds. with white paint over the wood, when they get plenty of light.

I like the tub in the en suite, but not the sink.

Hooray, finally found a fireplace.

And, another one in this bd. I still think that the natural wood looks best- this room is still light and bright.

This would be a lovely library.

They tried to make a vintage looking bath, but I can’t help thinking that the cabinets are adapted from 70s kitchen cabinets.

Some reproduction hinges- that’s how you do an old house renovation, but it’s got to be consistent.

Whoever did this house really didn’t know what they were doing.

Notice how the Victorian house next door differs.

Stay Clean

Tw: Mentions of Death/Murder, maybe eating people ig lol

(I just wanna preface this by saying I know basically next to nothing about fixing cars or motorcycles lol so if there are any inaccuracies I apologise for that!)

Horror/Slasher Oc writing for Maxwell “Max” Holt

Dividers by firefly-graphics

“… missing case last night has been reported to local law enforcement. Identified as North Carolina-born Mark Fisher, the 33 year old was last seen drinking at a bar in Downings before he disappeared without a trace. This again marks another in a series of disappearances that has concerned the public, with some expressing worries that it is the work of a serial killer or a human trafficking ring. Police are still investigating if these cases are conne-“

Max groaned and fiddled with the knob of the radio, a dusty yellow rag over his hand to prevent the grease from staining it. Switching over to the local rock station, he smiled as Motörhead’s ‘Stay Clean’ replaced the uncomfortable chatter of the news; Lemmy’s thundering bass was always more reassuring to hear.

Especially now, the small voice in his head whispered to him. He was reminded of exactly what he did last night; an impulse brought on at least in part by his victim’s poor treatment of Debbie, the waitress at his favourite diner. It might not have been the wisest idea to kill again after the last time, but at least now his hunger pangs had subsided. With Mark he’d sated them till’ the next month.

Shaking his head to disperse those thoughts, Max’s hands came to rest again on the shiny bronze chrome of the Chevrolet in front of him. She’d come in with a nasty dent in her bumper from a collision. Thankfully nothing serious, but the guy had mentioned she just up and stopped on him. Not a problem you’d really want to ignore either way. His boss Jerry had her first, mentioned ‘some issue with the fan-belt’ he’d sorted out. She just needed some little fixes and then she’d be good to go, he’d said.

Max gave her engine another look over, wanting to be sure he’d gotten everything. Any other issues would probably show up when he started her up in a test-drive later. His keen ears picked up everything, so he knew when a car didn’t sound right. It was something Jerry had no idea Max got from his lycanthropy; he only knew it was another helpful addition to his toolkit when he hired him.

“… Max!” For a second he thought he heard a voice shouting over the din and he raised his head. By the office door of the workshop was his coworker, Leo, leaning against a cluttered tool cabinet. Max turned down the radio a tad.

“Oh, yeah, Leo. What’s up?” Max perked up a bit at the appearance of his work buddy, the only other person employed at the shop aside from him.

The younger man seemed to be preparing himself to ask him a question. Leo was a bit of a nervous type, so Max was used to the way he tended to need reassurance now and again. He seemed to try and wring his hands out on an oil-stained tank top, a futile endeavour.

“Hey man, just double-checking to be sure… You’re still free for our campaign on Saturday night, right?”

“Yeah!” He exclaimed with a toothy grin, sharp canines on display.

The subject of D&D had come up in a conversation over drinks the other night. He had reminisced over playing with his friends back in highschool and Leo expressed a desire to learn more about the game. Max was excited at the prospect of playing again, and gladly offered to teach him and his two younger sisters the joys of D&D. In all honesty, he really missed it. It had been years since he properly sat down and played at a real table. Although he’d probably be the DM so he could guide them in their first campaign, the thought still made him giddy inside.

“I got somethin’ brewing up that’s more beginner friendly” Max continued, blue eyes lighting up with enthusiasm. He took his hands off the car to gesture wildly, an old habit “I’m a bit rusty myself after so long not havin’ played, so I could probably use a good refresher too.” He admitted with a wry quirk of the lip.

“Thanks for letting me know… Joan an’ Jessie are real excited about the whole thing. Wouldn’t stop badgerin’ me about it an’ asking me if you were still comin.’” Leo scratched the back of his neck, seeming eager to shift the blame onto the twins.

“Not that I’m not lookin’ forward to it too!” He added hastily, big brown eyes as wide as saucers.

“Don’t worry, I ain’t gonna miss something like that.” Max assured him, chuckling. Leo nodded bashfully, then cast his gaze over to inspect the Chevrolet still docked in the workshop lift.

“…Front tire on that’s gonna need a bit of pumpin.’ I’ll go get er.’” Then he ducked back in to look for the necessary equipment.

That was Leo: real shy, but good with cars.

After work Max peeled off his grimy coveralls, replacing them with his usual washed out denim jeans and a black leather jacket. It was approaching Summer, and the warm sun beat down on the cracked pavement. Still, a cool spring breeze necessitated extra layers. Especially with his ride…

He rounded the corner toward where he’d left her, and he smiled as she came into view; his beloved Harley Davidson. Her glossy red paint was unmistakable, metal exhaust pipes gleaming in the sunlight.

He felt no shame in admitting she was his pride and joy; he had fixed her up himself, and she’d been with him for years now. Feeling the wind whip past him as he went 20 over the speed limit on the back of her was exhilarating beyond all words could express.

Max jogged over and fished his keys out of his pocket, resting his palm on the black leathered handlebar. A dark-visored helmet rested on the seat. Snatching it up, he shook his hair out of his ponytail, his tousled blond curls still damp from sweat.

He kicked his leg over to start the girl up, and soon the fierce growl of her engine reverberated through his bones. She purred mightily, spitting fumes all the way down the road as he headed back home.

As he came up to his house Max was pleasantly surprised to see Jack’s rusty blue pickup truck parked in the driveway. He definitely hadn’t been expecting him. Of course, Jack wasn’t the type to give prior notice before he called in, (Maybe that would dampen his mysterious appeal) so Max just gave him his own key so he could come and go as he pleased. Now he was used to receiving random visits from the elder lycan.

Max could see the dim light of his television through the window as he parked beside Jack’s truck, so he hurried to unlock the door and catch up with him.

“Hey, Jack!” He called out cheerfully as he hung up his jacket. There was no answer from the taciturn Jack. Max was used to that too.

Entering the kitchen, he saw the silver-haired man standing in the doorway to his living room. He was watching Judge Judy with a beer in his hand, technicolour light reflecting off his wolfish golden eyes.

“How are ya?” He tried again.

No response. Jack kept his eyes on the TV as he took a swig of the bottle.

Max shrugged and opened the door to his mini fridge, pulling out a cold beer of his own. A sharp hiss cut through the air as he pried off the bottle cap. He tried to ignore the tension in the air as he gulped down a mouthful. It tasted less refreshing than it should have.

Jack swivelled his head around, slowly, to look at him from out of the corner of his eye. There was an old scar on his face, one he never spoke about.

“Heard what ya did on the news…” He finally said.

Max froze. He felt his whole body tense up instinctively before he forced himself to relax. Jack knew. Jack understood; he wrestled with the same urges. All lycanthropes did. Still, they’d had a silent agreement never to speak of what he did.

“...Yeah?” His voice came out quietly, treading carefully.

Jack turned his attention back to the TV again, leaving him to stare down at the floor

Max resisted the urge to sigh. This is what he hated the most: the long, drawn out scoldings.

“… I don’t disagree with the choice you made. If anything, that man probably had it comin.’” That made Max look back up again, hopefully.

“But kiddo, there are consequences to livin’ like we do. Don’t forget that.”

Jack sent a pointed look his way, “Jus’ don’t get caught… Keep your nose clean, ya hear me?” He reached out a rough, calloused hand to pat Max on the shoulder. A little harder than necessary, perhaps for emphasis.

Max nodded obediently, swallowing the lump of beer in his throat. He supposed that wasn’t so much of a scolding as it was advice. Jack seemed to feel some responsibility for any mistakes Max made. Compared to him, he was only a pup, after all. And he had lived a long life, longer than any human could hope to live.

The rest of the night there was no more talk of the killings, which Max was grateful for. He offered to cook dinner for the two of them, and they ended up reminiscing again about the silly things he used to do when Jack first met him. Max grew lively again, recounting older stories from his childhood when he was even more of an idiot. This amused Jack greatly, even drawing out a rare chuckle from the older man.

Later he watched Jack’s truck kick dirt up on its way out of his driveway and down the road, waving goodbye as his words from earlier echoed in his mind.

Keep your nose clean, he’d said. He knew that he was just trying to tell him to be careful, and not attract too much attention with his meals.

He knew he wouldn’t stop doing it. He couldn’t. The world would be better off in the end, he convinced himself. But it was his accursed hunger that really controlled him in the end. He decided he’d continue to kill and feast on assholes like Mark, but after that he’d lick his chops and leave no evidence; otherwise his peaceful life in Downings would be over. Just like before.

Max wasn’t given to brooding over his problems either way, so he resolved to think no more of it for now. Instead he set himself about a far more appealing pastime: setting up his new campaign for Saturday…

Bite By Bite

That's how we have improved this house, bite by bite. Today the flooring guys showed up and we checked off the upstairs bathrooms. That's nearly the whole list now. Every room has been painted, flooring went in downstairs, new carpet in one bedroom upstairs because it was repulsive, pretty quartz countertops and painted cabinets in the kitchen, downstairs powder room received a new mirror and painted vanity, and we've even established a lovely yard and added a pretty fence. It's been like pulling teeth, but the results have been worth it.

Here's the before and after of the master bath. The first photo is the real estate listing before we bought it.

Big difference!

The hall (or HALLoween) bathroom before (again, real estate listing)...

and after.

I may have gone too cutesy in that hall bathroom, but I don't care. Those pumpkin knobs are ridiculous, but kind of happy too. I promise that in person the orange in the painting is compatible with the orange of the shower curtain. Also, I think this room would like a a braided rug instead of that fluffy one. Maybe two small rugs - one in front of the sink and one by the tub. Hmmm. Or I could just say ,"Ta-da!" and call it done. We still have some small changes to make. Both shower curtain rods are silver, and the towel bar in the hall bathroom is silver. I'm using oil-rubbed bronze fixtures in both bathrooms, so in time those will change. In the master bath you may have noticed that beside each sink of the double vanity there are small towel holders on the wall - one is oil-rubbed bronze and the other is silver. That makes my eye twitch. So, just small tweaks, I'll let the dust settle before I tackle that. Maybe I'll put shower curtain rods on my Xmas list. Anywho, that was our big Friday. While the two very nice young men were hard at work upstairs I sat at my desk and worked clay into earrings. I'm listening to a new true crime podcast called Dark Downeast, mostly because I've listened to every episode of Dateline and Snapped. Dark Downeast is all about murders in New England. Good stories, but I'm dissatisfied with how many are unsolved. That's the part that I love, when some sharp detective notices an obscure clue and cracks the case wide open. I get a little cranky when I become engrossed in a case and they wrap it up without an arrest. I think they should tell you right off the bat, even in the title - "The Unsolved Murder of Jim Shortz", instead of stuff like "Terror in Massapequa". Don't make me waste my time, and don't remind me that there's a murderer running around free. Yikes! From bathrooms to murders, that's a typical blog post, right? I really need to get out more. We pick up the grandgirl tomorrow morning and return her Monday afternoon. I probably won't post here because I will be going to bed at 9 o'clock. There's a reason that we have children when we're young. I know it will be delightful and fun and she'll crack me up, and I would jump in front of a train for her, but lawdy, Grancy's joints ain't what they used to be.

That's okay, I'll soak my aches away in a pretty bathroom. That'll help. Pretty things make everything better.

See you on the other side of the weekend! Sending you BIG love. XOXO, Nancy

7 reasons why cabinet knobs in Dubai are essential for your home.

When it comes to interior design, every detail counts. People often focus on large components like furniture, paint colors, and floor layouts, but it is the subtle details that truly make a home sparkle. The cabinet knob is one of these minor but crucial details. Cabinet knobs in Dubai can have a significant impact on the appearance, function, and overall feel of a space, whether you're designing a new kitchen, renovating a bathroom, or simply updating your furniture.

In this blog, we'll look at why cabinet knobs in Dubai are more than just useful hardware. Cabinet knobs are a crucial component of any well-designed house, enhancing the appearance of your room while also increasing the functioning of your cabinets. EuroArt is the go-to brand for high-quality, attractive knobs. Continue reading to learn how cabinet knobs in Dubai may transform your home and why EuroArt is a trusted name in home decor.

1. Improve Your Home's Aesthetic with Cabinet Knobs in Dubai

The first and most evident advantage of cabinet knobs in Dubai is their capacity to improve the aesthetics of your home. Cabinet knobs are available in a variety of styles, shapes, and finishes, making them an ideal complement for any area in your home. Whether you're working with contemporary, traditional, or eclectic decor, there's a cabinet knob to suit your style.

For example, EuroArt's cabinet knobs in Dubai range from sleek, minimalist chrome knobs to elaborate, vintage-inspired designs. These knobs may add the ideal finishing touch to your cabinets, doors, and furniture. They allow you to experiment with numerous appearances and modify the atmosphere of a place without requiring a complete overhaul. Adding or altering cabinet knobs might be the simplest and least expensive approach to entirely transform your room.

When decorating your kitchen or bathroom, consider how your cabinet knobs in Dubai will complement other aspects of the room. If you have a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, matching cabinet knobs might help create a clean, cohesive design. However, if you want a more classic look, antique brass or bronze knobs can give warmth and charm to your cabinets.

2. Functionality and ease of use for cabinet knobs in Dubai

While appearance is vital, the functioning of cabinet knobs in Dubai is also significant. A decent cabinet knob may make a huge difference in ease of use, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Consider how often you open and close cabinets and drawers. Cabinet knobs that are poorly constructed or of low quality might become frustrating to use over time. They may grow loose, cling together, or wear down quickly.

The purpose of EuroArt cabinet knobs in Dubai is to ensure smooth and effortless operation. Whether you're opening a large kitchen cabinet or a bathroom vanity, high-quality cabinet knobs will make the task easier. Ergonomically designed cabinet knobs provide a firm and comfortable grip, allowing you to open cabinets with minimal effort.

In a busy kitchen, where cabinets may open and close multiple times a day, convenience and ease of use are especially crucial. Robust, durable cabinet knobs guarantee that issues like broken knobs or challenging-to-open cabinets won't interfere with your daily tasks.

3. Cabinet Knobs in Dubai Bring a personal touch to your home.

One of the best aspects of cabinet knobs in Dubai is the wide range of designs available. Unlike larger pieces of furniture, cabinet knobs are a quick and inexpensive way to add individuality and style to any area. Whether you desire a modern, edgy look or a more rustic, vintage-inspired design, the correct cabinet knobs can represent your personal interests and preferences.

EuroArt provides a wide range of cabinet knobs in Dubai, from minimalist, clean designs to more artistic, elaborate knobs. If you want a sleek and modern style, consider a simple, round cabinet knob in matte black or brushed nickel. Alternatively, if you like a more vintage or rustic look, decorative cabinet knobs in brass or bronze can give your area an exquisite, timeless appearance.

Changing cabinet knobs in Dubai is a simple and cost-effective approach to refreshing the appearance of a space without undergoing a full remodel. Even something as simple as replacing your old, worn-out knobs with a set of attractive new ones may quickly transform your kitchen or living room.

4. The durability and quality of cabinet knobs in Dubai

One of the most crucial considerations while selecting cabinet knobs in Dubai is durability. After all, you want your knobs to last for many years, especially given how often you'll use them. Low-quality knobs tend to wear out rapidly, becoming loose, cracked, or rusted over time. This is not only irritating, but it also detracts from the overall appearance of your property.

High-quality materials, such as solid brass, stainless steel, and zinc alloys, comprise EuroArt cabinet knobs in Dubai, ensuring long-term durability. These materials are corrosion-resistant, which is especially useful in high-moisture areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. By selecting EuroArt cabinet knobs in Dubai, you can be confident that your knobs will resist daily wear and tear while keeping their functionality and appearance for years to come.

Furthermore, EuroArt designs its cabinet knobs to withstand frequent use. Whether it's a big kitchen cabinet or a small vanity, these knobs are built to run smoothly and stay in good condition even after extended use.

5. A simple and effective way to transform your home

Home renovations and redesigns can be costly and time-consuming. However, there is a more economical and time-saving option: upgrading your cabinet knobs in Dubai. Replacing outmoded, basic knobs with elegant, modern ones can instantly revitalize a room without the need for a significant renovation.

By merely altering the cabinet knobs, you may dramatically alter the look and feel of a room. For example, adding sleek, modern cabinet knobs to the kitchen can make a significant change in how the area feels without the need to replace worktops or cabinets. Similarly, changing the cabinet knobs on your bathroom or bedroom furniture can add a new level of elegance, giving your home a completely new and updated look.

What is the best part? Replacing cabinet knobs in Dubai is a simple DIY activity that doesn't require professional assistance. With just a screwdriver and a little time, you can completely transform your home.

6. Why Choose EuroArt for Cabinet Knobs in Dubai?

When it comes to cabinet knobs in Dubai, EuroArt is one of the top brands in terms of both quality and design. What distinguishes EuroArt is their commitment to providing high-quality items that mix practicality and beauty. Whether you're remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom furniture, EuroArt has a large selection of cabinet knobs to fulfill both aesthetic and functional requirements.

EuroArt's assortment of cabinet knobs in Dubai comprises a wide range of materials, finishes, and styles, guaranteeing that you discover the perfect fit for your house.

EuroArt offers unique, custom-made designs that enable you to create a truly personalized aesthetic for your home. Their customer-centric approach ensures that each cabinet knob not only satisfies design specifications but also provides functionality and longevity.

Trending Color Scheme for Your Modular Kitchen Design

Source of Info : https://www.regalokitchens.com/article/trending-color-scheme-for-your-modular-kitchen-design

Color schemes for modern modular kitchen design are popular right now because they provide comfortable attractive variations. Neutral foundations that provide a beautiful foundation, such as matte black, charcoal gray, and soft beige, are trendy. Accents of vibrant colors like bright mustard, bold blue, or rich emerald are frequently used to add zest, giving kitchens an attractive and colorful atmosphere. Additionally popular is the two-tone look, which adds depth and personality to top and bottom cabinets with different colors. Copper or brushed brass are excellent metallic treatments for a luxurious look. For a stylish, combined look, these colors go in perfectly with modular designs.

Why Color Matters in Modular Kitchen Design

Any kitchen's environment and functionality are strongly affected by color. Because every component of a modular kitchen design, from worktops to cabinets, can be customized, colors can define space, create harmony, and even affect mood. It can be difficult to choose colors when there are many options available, but maintaining up with the newest trends will help your design get new ideas.

According to Regalo Kitchens, the need for originality, elegance, and simplicity is reflected in the color trends of 2024. Now, let's explore some of the most popular color schemes for modular kitchens and how they can enhance your area.

1. Neutral Tones with a Twist

While neutral kitchen colors like white, gray, and cream continue to be in style, 2024 has seen modern variations on these timeless colors. Warmer neutrals like gray, beige, and greige—a combination of beige and gray—are becoming more popular among designers. These colors provide coziness and an impression of luxury to a kitchen.

• Reasons for Choosing Light Color: Light colors are classic, go well with any type of décor, and give the kitchen a fresh, proper look.

• Perfect Mixtures: For cabinets with white or gray counters, try a combination of soft beige. Think about using bronze or gold hardware to look better.

• Regalo Kitchens suggests combining a warm taupe cabinet with a creamy white marble backsplash to add an air of beauty.

2. Bold and Dramatic Blues

Blue has been a popular color for modular kitchens, especially in further and darker shades. These colors, which range from slate blue to navy and purple, offer depth and refinement, making the kitchen seem stylish and stunning. Both modern and traditional kitchen designs benefit from blue's ability to let homeowners express their individuality without overpowering the room.

• Why Opt for Dark Blues? These colors create a welcoming atmosphere and go well with metallic elements.

• Perfect Mixtures: For a beautiful design, pair navy blue cabinets with copper or brass knobs. For a well-balanced contrast, pair white cabinets with a deep blue island.

• Suggestion: For a stylish functional kitchen, deep blue cabinets with a white marble countertop and gold hardware create a luxurious atmosphere.

3. Earthy Greens for a Natural Look

Greens, particularly those with earthy tones, are becoming more and more common in modular kitchen design. These colors promote serenity and a feeling of oneness with the natural world. These colors, which range from olive and sage to forest green, are perfect for anybody wishing to design a calm kitchen.

• Reasons for Selecting Earthy Greens: Green colors go well with organic materials like stone and wood and produce a relaxing, perfectly-balanced atmosphere.

• Perfect Mixtures: A rustic but contemporary look may be achieved with cream counters and sage green cabinetry with wooden accents.

• For a modern, environmentally friendly look, Regalo Kitchens suggests using matte olive green cabinets with metal hardware.

4. Warm Terracotta and Clay Tones

The ceramic and clay tones, which draw inspiration from earthy components, give the kitchen coziness and an authentic attraction. These colors work well in kitchen modules because they provide comfort without overtaking the layout. These warm, natural colors give modern kitchen areas a Mediterranean vibe.

• Why Opt for Orange Shades? These hues are ideal for giving simple designs personality and creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in the kitchen.

• Perfect Mixtures: Ceramic cabinets seem grounded and natural when paired with light wood floors and white or neutral decor.

• The Advice of Regalo Kitchens: Warm wood cabinets and a clay-toned backsplash combine to produce a stylish but lively design that is perfect for open kitchen layouts.

5. Black and White Minimalism

The classic black-and-white color scheme is still popular because it provides a crisp, modern look. Almost every design style, from industrial to minimalist, can benefit from this high contrast combo. Additionally, it's simple to change with minor color accents in accessories and décor.

• Why Opt for Black and White? Both small and big kitchen areas can benefit from this timeless combination, which is minimal maintenance and has a striking visual effect.

• Perfect Mixtures: A black island set against white walls or matte black bottom cabinets with glossy white upper cabinets can offer a striking effect.

• For a sleek, elegant design, Regalo Kitchens suggests using stainless steel appliances, white surfaces, and black cabinets.

6. Soft Pastels for a Subtle Look

In modular kitchen design, soft colors like blush pink, powder blue, and mint green are returning. For people who desire a pop of color without going overboard, these colors are ideal. The kitchen looks larger and more open because of the bright, airy impression that colors give it.

• The Reasons for Selecting Soft Pastels They look well in small kitchens, are visually pleasing, and provide a happy mood.

• Perfect Mixtures: A charming kitchen may be created with blush pink cabinets with silver hardware or mint green cabinets with white worktops.

• Regalo Kitchens' Suggestion: Your kitchen can look attractive and old with pastel blue cabinetry and natural wood accessories.

7. Monochromatic Gray with Metallic Accents

Gray provides a stylish, modern look that is versatile to many different designs, particularly when used in a monochromatic scheme. Gray kitchens appear elegant and opulent when combined with metallic elements like gold or silver, making them perfect for a contemporary modular kitchen design.

• Reasons for Selecting Monochromatic Gray: Gray is classic and adaptable, working well with both sophisticated and simple designs.

• Perfect Mixtures: Choose different shades of gray for the cabinetry or use light gray for the cabinets and dark gray for the backsplash.

• According to Regalo Kitchens, a gray kitchen with stainless steel appliances and silver accessories can give your customized kitchen a modern, stylish look.

Tips for Choosing the Right Color Scheme

• Think about the Kitchen Size: darker colors can give bigger areas a sense of comfort and warmth, while brighter colors can enlarge a little kitchen.

• Complement the Current Décor: To ensure a smooth transition, make sure the colors of your kitchen go well with the rest of your home's decor.

• Test with Samples: Analyze how your selected colors appear in your kitchen's lighting by trying out little samples.

• Balance Bold with Neutral: To maintain a cohesive and classic style, balance a bold color choice with basic components.

Conclusion

With color trends providing a wide range of alternatives to fit every personal preference and home style, modular kitchen design are more fascinating than ever in 2024.

Choosing the Perfect Cabinetry Handles: A Guide to Styles, Materials, and Finishes

Introduction

Cabinetry handles may seem like small details, but they play a crucial role in enhancing your space's functionality and aesthetics. From sleek modern pulls to classic knobs, the right cabinetry handles can transform the look of your furniture while ensuring everyday convenience. With numerous styles, materials, and finishes to choose from, finding the perfect handles can be overwhelming. This comprehensive guide explores the types of cabinetry handles, their materials, and finishes, offering practical tips to help you make the best choice for your home.

Exploring Types of Cabinetry Handles

1. Pulls

Pull handles are long and versatile, often used on drawers and cabinets. They are particularly popular in modern and contemporary designs due to their streamlined appearance. Available in various lengths, pulls provide a firm grip and can be installed vertically or horizontally for different looks.

2. Knobs

Knobs are a classic option for cabinetry, featuring a single attachment point. They are easy to install, come in countless shapes and sizes, and work well in traditional or eclectic designs. Knobs are a great choice for smaller cabinets or spaces with limited room.

3. Cup Handles

Cup handles, also known as bin pulls, feature a semi-circular design that is easy to grip. They are commonly used in kitchens with a rustic, farmhouse, or vintage aesthetic and pair beautifully with shaker-style cabinetry.

4. Edge Pulls

Edge pulls are minimalistic handles installed along the edges of cabinets and drawers. These are ideal for ultra-modern or minimalist interiors, offering a sleek and understated look while remaining functional.

5. Bar Handles

Bar handles are cylindrical and versatile, making them a popular choice for modern kitchens and bathrooms. They are ergonomic and available in various lengths, complementing both small drawers and tall pantry doors.

Materials for Cabinetry Handles

1. Metal

Metal is a durable and stylish choice, available in finishes like stainless steel, brass, nickel, and bronze. Metal handles suit modern, industrial, and traditional designs, offering a broad range of aesthetics.

2. Wood

Wooden handles add warmth and texture to cabinetry, often used in rustic or Scandinavian-style interiors. They are available in natural wood tones or painted finishes to match your decor.

3. Glass or Crystal

Glass and crystal handles bring a touch of elegance and luxury to cabinetry, making them ideal for vintage or glamorous interiors. While visually stunning, they are less durable than metal and wood.

4. Ceramic

Ceramic handles are often hand-painted and available in intricate designs. They add a decorative element to cabinetry, particularly in traditional or eclectic spaces.

Finishes to Consider

1. Polished

Polished finishes, such as chrome or brass, create a shiny and reflective surface that adds brightness and elegance to any space.

2. Matte

Matte finishes, including black and brushed metals, offer a subtle and modern look, ideal for contemporary or minimalist designs.

3. Antique

Antique finishes, such as aged brass or bronze, evoke a vintage charm and pair well with classic or farmhouse interiors.

4. Satin

Satin finishes strike a balance between polished and matte, offering a smooth and understated appearance suitable for various styles.

Choosing Cabinetry Handles for Different Rooms

1. Kitchen

In the kitchen, functionality is key. Choose handles that are durable, easy to clean, and complement your cabinetry. Bar pulls and edge pulls are popular for modern kitchens, while cup handles and knobs suit traditional designs.

2. Bathroom

For the bathroom, moisture-resistant materials like stainless steel or brass are ideal. Opt for finishes that coordinate with your faucets and fixtures for a cohesive look.

3. Bedroom or Living Room

In these spaces, you can experiment with decorative handles that enhance the overall aesthetic. Consider glass, ceramic, or antique brass handles for a stylish touch.

Tips for Installation

1. Maintain Consistency

Ensure that the handles across your cabinets and drawers are consistent in style and finish to create a cohesive look.

2. Placement Matters

For drawers, handles should be centred for symmetry. For cabinets, install handles vertically near the opening edge for easy access.

3. Test Before Final Installation

Before drilling holes, test the handle placement with adhesive strips to find the most comfortable and visually appealing position.

Conclusion

Cabinetry handles are more than functional accessories; they are design elements that reflect your style and enhance the usability of your cabinets. With various types, materials, and finishes available, you can customise your cabinetry to match your interior decor perfectly. Whether you prefer sleek modern bar pulls, classic knobs, or intricate ceramic designs, the right handles can elevate the aesthetic of your space while ensuring everyday practicality. Take the time to explore your options, consider your needs, and make an informed choice to transform your cabinetry into a stylish and functional feature of your home.

Its sleek, understated elegance works well in both minimalist and industrial-inspired spaces, and it provides a striking contrast when paired with lighter colors like white or marble. Matte black also has the advantage of being easy to maintain, as it resists fingerprints and water spots.

How to Incorporate Matte Black:

Pair matte black faucets with white or natural stone countertops for a modern look

Use black cabinet handles in kitchens with light-colored cabinetry for a balanced contrast

Mix with other finishes like brass or chrome to create visual interest and dimension

2. Warm Metals: Brass and Bronze for a Vintage Touch

Warm metals like brass and bronze are making a strong comeback in 2024, bringing a sense of luxury and warmth to kitchens and bathrooms. These finishes are perfect for those who want to add a vintage or classic touch to their spaces. Antique brass and oil-rubbed bronze finishes work particularly well with natural materials like wood and stone, creating a welcoming, earthy aesthetic.

Ideas for Using Warm Metals:

Install brass faucets and showerheads in the bathroom for a classic, timeless feel

Use bronze cabinet handles and drawer pulls in rustic or farmhouse-style kitchens

Combine with textured or natural finishes, such as wood or marble, for an elegant, layered look

3. Minimalist, Slim Profile Handles

A minimalist approach to hardware is becoming more popular as homeowners embrace simplicity and clean lines. Slim-profile handles and low-profile knobs contribute to a clutter-free appearance, creating a sleek and streamlined look. This trend works especially well in small kitchens and bathrooms, where space efficiency is key, as well as in spaces designed around a minimalist or Scandinavian aesthetic.

Minimalist Hardware Ideas:

Opt for thin bar handles on kitchen cabinets for a modern, streamlined effect

Choose recessed handles for a minimalist look that reduces visual clutter

Pair slim handles with open shelving or glass-front cabinets for an airy feel

4. Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Materials

As environmental consciousness grows, so does the demand for sustainable hardware. In 2024, eco-friendly materials and finishes are trending, with a focus on recycled metals, sustainably sourced woods, and durable designs that reduce the need for replacements. Homeowners are now more inclined to select hardware that is both environmentally responsible and designed to stand the test of time.

Sustainable Choices for Hardware:

Look for hardware made from recycled brass, stainless steel, or reclaimed wood

Choose water-efficient faucets for a greener bathroom setup

Select durable materials that resist wear, reducing the need for replacements and waste

5. Smart Technology: Adding Functionality with Smart Hardware

Smart home technology continues to evolve, and hardware is no exception. In 2024, smart kitchen and bathroom hardware is gaining traction, offering added convenience, functionality, and even hygiene benefits. Smart faucets with touchless activation are particularly popular, reducing water waste and improving cleanliness. Smart locks and cabinet lighting are other examples of how technology is enhancing modern kitchens and bathrooms.

Smart Hardware Solutions:

Install touchless faucets in the kitchen or bathroom to reduce water waste and improve hygiene

Use smart locks for added security in bathroom or pantry areas

Add motion-sensor lighting inside cabinets for convenient, hands-free illumination

6. Mixed Finishes: Creating Contrast and Visual Interest

Gone are the days of matching every piece of hardware. In 2024, mixing finishes is on-trend, allowing homeowners to create dynamic and unique spaces. By combining different metals or finishes, you can add depth and visual interest without overwhelming the room. For instance, pairing matte black handles with brass accents or chrome with brushed nickel creates an elegant, layered look that feels both fresh and personalized.

Tips for Mixing Finishes:

Pair two complementary finishes, such as matte black with brass, for a balanced look

Limit the number of finishes to avoid visual clutter; stick to two or three

Use one finish as the dominant feature and the other as an accent to create harmony

7. Textured Hardware for Added Dimension

Textured hardware is a subtle yet effective way to add dimension and personality to your kitchen or bathroom. In 2024, designs featuring hammered, ribbed, or knurled textures are making their way into hardware trends. These textures not only add a tactile quality to the space but also enhance the visual appeal of cabinetry and fixtures, making them perfect for adding an artisan touch.

Ideas for Using Textured Hardware:

Use knurled or ribbed knobs on cabinetry for an industrial look

Choose hammered finishes for a rustic or vintage-inspired space

Pair textured hardware with smooth finishes for contrast and depth

8. Oversized Handles and Statement Hardware

Oversized and statement hardware is ideal for homeowners looking to make a bold impact. Large handles and knobs can turn simple cabinetry into a focal point, adding drama and personality to a room. This trend works particularly well in kitchens with large cabinets or bathrooms with double vanities, where oversized hardware can bring balance and a sense of scale.

How to Incorporate Statement Hardware:

Use oversized bar pulls on tall kitchen cabinets for a modern, dramatic effect

Select bold knobs or handles in unique shapes for added personality

Combine statement hardware with simple cabinetry for a sophisticated look
