Residential hot water systems keep water flowing to the home at the perfect temperature. While most modern hot water heaters will provide years of use with minimal maintenance, there are still some things that you’ll want to do. The water heater provides warm water for dishes, showers, and other needs in the home. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure that your hot water systems are properly working at all times.

For starters, you’ll want to perform a regular inspection of your hot water heater. This includes a visual inspection to see if you notice anything that isn’t working, as well as testing and inspecting certain features and parts. If you’re not familiar with it, or prefer to let the professionals do the work, you can hire a plumber to come inspect and maintain your hot water systems.

We all know that an array of aesthetic periods and styles enlivens a room, but it can lose its vision without a focal point. When this happens, insert plinths and pedestals at varying heights to provide that anchor. Regardless of whether you’re designing a room, vignette, or even a tablescape, verticality and scale are key. The alternating proportions engage the eye, allowing it to dance from surface to surface. Every one of those surfaces is also an opportunity to express yourself and create vignettes that are personal and meaningful, but most of all, make you happy. Take a peek inside Athena’s bathroom, living room, and hallway for styling inspiration. 

And we’re all about ramping up that visual curiosity, beckoning the eye to linger. If you’re on a quest to do that too, then keep scrolling for some of our favorite plinths and pedestals to start playing around at home.
