Nashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are tak ing note of everything

Nashville, from food and fashion to music and more.

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red

Hot” for a burgeon ing music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nash ville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Music City is also a thriving hub for indus try; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nel son Publishing, Louisiana-Pacifi c and Dollar General all have corporate offi ces here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.

TAKE A WELLNESS APPROACH to bathroom renovations with a new bidet

Brandpoint

Looking for a fresh approach to your next bathroom renovation? Think in terms of how the updates would enhance your well-being.

Replacing an old appliance with a highquality bidet, for example, is a relatively simple renovation that adds many wellness benefits to your life. With the right technologies and features, you can live cleaner, healthier, and more simply.

Because you want your new bidet to bring the routine-enhancing qualities you’re looking for, it’s worth taking time to research your brands. Because nowadays, there are many to choose from. TOTO, for example, is well known as the originator of the luxury bidet seat, giving the old-fashioned bidet a complete conceptual and technological overhaul with precision spraying and warm water cleansing.

Bidets are also available in a range of price points, so you can stick to your budget. Use the following guide to find one that best fits your wallet and your wellness lifestyle.

Elevate cleanliness and comfort

The best thing about a great bidet is getting clean. The warm aerated water provides a gentle wash, leaving you to feel more refreshed and confident to go on with your day. The WASHLET C2 bidet seat by TOTO is the perfect entry-level option to up your wellness game at an approachable price. This bidet seat easily installs onto your toilet. Its dual-action spray lets you adjust the water temperature and volume and also comes with oscillating and pulsing features.

Achieve healthier living

Stopping the spread of germs is step one of living healthier. A bidet seat is a perfect investment for your family’s well-being because it makes hygienic hands-free cleaning a reality. To achieve the fullest touch-free benefits, seek out smart features in your bidet, like automatic seat raising and lowering as well as touchless flushing.

Streamline your cleaning routine

The best innovation and technology begins with a desire to put more time back into your day. The enhanced technologies found in TOTO WASHLET + bidet toilets work together to create “Clean Synergy” and keep the bowl cleaner longer. The powerful TORNADO FLUSH system and the high-tech CEFIONTECT glazing dislodges and resists dirt while the PREMIST feature rinses the bowl before each use to prevent matter from sticking to its surface. The result: You’ll spend a lot less time scrubbing.

Next-level design

Achieve wellness and elegance with NEOREST. The low-profile skirted design provides a contemporary look, bringing polish and panache to your space. And it has the spa-like features you’d expect from a high-end bidet that will redefine your bathroom break.

When it comes time to renovate the bath, TOTO stands by its high-quality products with superior after-sales service. To learn more, visit TOTOUSA.com.

4WAYS TO REVAMP REVAMP

your interior design with sustainable products

Brandpoint

Sustainability isn’t just a trend. According to a 2021 study of more than 10,000 people in 17 countries, 85% said they had changed their shopping habits to be more sustainable. Also, 34% of respondents said they were willing to pay more for sustainable products and services. The rising demand for sustainable products has shifted the focus of many industries, including the interior design sector.

You may not associate sustainability with design, but these concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, many sustainable home design products are artful and unique because of how they’re created and used.

If you’re looking to refresh your home’s style while minimizing your impact on the planet, check out these four eco-friendly ways to spruce up your interior design.

1. Go antiquing

One of the easiest ways to be sustainable is not buying new products. Antique furniture and decor give your interior design an elevated look without creating new waste. By buying antiques, you can find unique pieces with history and save them from the landfill. Also, many antique items have a longer lifecycle than modern design pieces, so you can enjoy them for years to come.

2. Use reclaimed products

Reclaimed goods are used or leftover materials or products that can be repurposed for the same or different use. For example, reclaimed wood that once made up an old barn or crate can be used as the base of home decorations, shelving and tables. Using reclaimed materials and products can give your home a rustic charm while using existing items, keeping materials out of the landfill and reducing the demand for new products and the waste created when they’re made.

3. Buy recycled products

While reclaimed and recycled may sound interchangeable, reclaimed goods aren’t altered from their original state. Recycled products are items made from used materials that have been processed or molded into a new item for a new purpose. For example, many manufacturers are creating products using recycled plastic.

The Abstra Collection™ by Kohler WasteLAB® is a bespoke tile collection that demonstrates the intersection of art and ecological science. This is also an example of Kohler’s commitment to achieving net zero waste to landfill by 2035. Kohler WasteLAB, one of several success stories to come out of Kohler’s startup Innovation for Good, and its team of designers, ceramicists and engineers, rely on factory waste as the primary medium for the Abstra designs. These sustainable tiles are made from more than 99.5% landfill-bound materials including recycled wastewater sludge and glaze overspray from the company’s Wisconsin pottery factory. This innovative process leverages a way to convert materials that were once headed to a landfill to instead produce a tile of remarkable beauty and depth.

“Abstra has a fluidity that is continuous, yet everchanging in its contrasting surface details,” said Dana Morales, Senior Designer - Kohler Co. “There are the raised and relief patterns, multiple geometric shapes, a soft, matte color palette based in nature, and subtle surface undulation that create complexity and depth. Through these new WasteLAB designs, we provide the tools to create an imaginative canvas and explore new ways to express yourself.”

Depending on the glaze selected, the tiles can be used in showers and other wet areas. They’re also resistant to freeze/thaw conditions, so also an exceptional choice for many outdoor installations.

4. Choose sustainable materials

When purchasing new products, make a difference and choose ones made from sustainable materials. Bamboo has become a popular material for furniture and decorations because it is a renewable material that doesn’t require much water, pesticides or labor to create compared to traditional wood products. Other sustainable materials include jute, a natural plant fiber used for woven rugs and other home textiles and cork, which is made by harmlessly harvesting tree bark.

Your individual choices as a consumer matter and can make a positive impact on the environment. One way is to invest in the earth’s future by seeking out earth-friendly, recyclable-based designs for your home.
