If you’re concerned about the minimal bump to your electricity consumption, you can opt for smart tint, which doesn’t require electricity to work.

Recycled glass is a durable and sustainable countertop material that lends a unique look to any kitchen or bathroom. Whether or not it’s the right choice for your home hinges on your design preferences and budget. However, for many, it’s an excellent option to make your kitchen stand out if you don’t want to go with an option like quartz or quartzite.

You can hang bathroom mirrors in either orientation—vertical or horizontal. Factors like the bathroom layout, lighting design, vanity size, and mirror shape and size may make one orientation more practical. For example, a tall vanity with a tall faucet and low-hanging light fixtures may force a horizontal orientation for a rectangular or oval-shaped mirror. Looking at bathroom mirror ideas can help you decide which you like best.

While homeowners can spend anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000 on new bow windows, the average price for bow windows is $3,900. Some frames cost more than others and are worth considering if you’re on a budget.

For example, vinyl is the most budget-friendly material, while wooden frames have the highest price tag, especially once you factor in the amount of maintenance and the lifespan of the material. Larger bow windows will also cost more than smaller ones, so keep this in mind while shopping.
