- Consider using a vanity cabinet with ample storage instead of opting for a pedestal sink in small bathrooms. 
- Pairing brass and chrome fixtures can create a unique, cohesive look, especially if you can find two-tone pieces that blend both metals. 
- When choosing a feeling word to complement a Scandinavian style, make sure it contrasts enough to add vibrancy and character, such as "playful" or "eclectic," and use it as a guide when selecting decor and accessories.
