Refresh your Space with Accent Chairs
Think of an accent chair as the supporting actor who steals the show. The sofa may be the star - but the chair brings the story to life. A sculptural chair adds instant interest; texture gives depth; and the right fabric can bring in warmth - or cool things down - without having to commit to redoing the entire room. Here's the thing: your accent chair doesn't have to match - and it honestly shouldn't. A neutral sofa is the perfect partner for a leather accent chair. A richly-layered space might actually need something simple to bring balance. So if you're looking to refresh a space without starting from scratch, start here. One good chair can do a lot of heavy lifting.

Kitchen & Bath Brilliance
We're remodel ready with these smart tips.

Soak Smart: the Right Bathtub for your Lifestyle
When planning a bathroom remodel, your bathtub choice goes beyond looks - it's about lifestyle. The right tub can turn routines into restorative rituals. Freestanding tubs make a bold statement and deliver a spa-like soak, perfect for homeowners craving everyday luxury. Alcove tubs maximize space and functionality, combining bath and shower in one family-friendly design. If you love custom comfort, drop-in tubs fit into a deck or surround, ideal for candles, trays and books. Corner tubs are great for unconventional layouts or when you want extra room to stretch out, sometimes even for two. For hydrotherapy, jetted tubs offer soothing air or water jets that ease muscles and melt away stress. And for timeless charm, clawfoot tubs add vintage elegance with their deep, inviting design. No matter your choice, the right tub ensures your bathroom remodel reflects both your style and the way you live.

Fall Kitchen Tips: Protecting Water & your Home this Holiday Season
As the leaves change and holiday gatherings fill our calendars, it's the perfect time to give your kitchen a seasonal tune-up. SCV Water reminds you that simple steps now can help protect your home, pipes - and our community's water supply.
Keep FOG Out of Drains
FOG stands for Fats, Oils and Grease - three culprits that clog household pipes and can lead to costly plumbing problems. Holiday cooking often means more gravy, drippings and buttery dishes. Instead of rinsing them down the sink, let liquids cool and solidify, then scrape them into the trash. Wipe pans with a paper towel before washing.
Dispose of Food Waste the Right Way
Avoid overloading your garbage disposal with peels, rice or stringy veggies like celery. These can cause backups and strain your pipes. Composting food scraps is the best choice for both your plumbing and the planet.
Be Smart About Dishwasher Loads
Run full loads only, and scrape - not rinse - plates before loading. This saves water while preventing leftover grease from slipping into the system.
Prep Ahead for Guests
If you're hosting, space out showers, laundry and dishwashing. This helps maintain hot water and consistent water pressure when you need it most.
This fall, small actions in the kitchen add up to big results for your home and community. Together, we can protect our pipes, prevent costly repairs and keep Santa Clarita's water flowing clean and strong.
