Everyone wants a pristine kitchen counter—it’s the ultimate sign of a sparkly-clean home. But it’s not exactly practical to have a totally empty working surface, either. Not everyone has the cupboard or drawer space to store every single item that’s left out on a kitchen counter—and even if you do, some things are best left out where they’re more accessible. Who wants to sort through kitchen cupboards to find the salt and pepper while cooking?

IKEA is a home goods retailer that knows how to help people revamp their spaces. There’s pretty much no aesthetic that IKEA pieces can’t create, and the retailer has been significantly expanding their stock (and lowering their prices) over the past year. Their latest collection was announced on February 28th, with IKEA preparing to officially release it in April.

Is it really the start of a new season if you haven’t swapped out your seasonal decor yet? Adding a few seasonal pieces is a great way to give your space a refresh that matches the mood of the season—plus, it’s an easy way to add intrigue to your home, keeping it from feeling stagnant over time.

If you're ready to redecorate for the spring season, there's nothing like some cheerfully hand-decorated napkin-print spring candles. And for those who are celebrating and decorating for Easter this year, you can even use printed napkins to decorate your eggs. 

Viral trends in 2024 have seen everything from quiet luxury aesthetics to rants on the true meaning of bookshelf wealth—now, there’s a new viral design theory that’s on the rise.

It’s nearly spring, and there’s no easier way to celebrate the season than by DIYing some seasonal candles. Though it’s fairly easy to find decorative jar candles or tasteful scented ones, pillar candles are a whole different story. You might get lucky and spot a few cute colors to include in your spring decor, but more often than not, you’ll only end up with plain white candles.

It’s time to start thinking about getting your garden ready for spring, and with the season comes new (and timeless) garden trends. If you haven’t heard of a moon garden before, the idea is both straightforward and unique. A moon garden allows you to focus not only on how your plants will look in the daytime, but also at night.

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a classic bouquet of freshly bloomed roses? Not only are they the most sought-after flower for gift-giving (especially when it comes to romance), they’re practically synonymous with the holiday. 

Bookworms rejoice—one of 2024’s most popular design trends involves a new kind of bookish aesthetic.

If you’re a dedicated fan of Taylor Swift, you probably already know that her classic drink of choice is vodka with Diet Coke. But that doesn’t mean the pop star doesn’t have a go-to cocktail that's a little more elevated—and her latest girl’s night out gave us a new order to try. Rye restaurant in Kansas City reported at the beginning of January that when she's getting drinks, she usually goes for a French Blonde cocktail.

If there’s something TikTok loves (besides hauls and dances), it’s cleaning and organizing. There is even a side of TikTok dedicated to cleaning hacks and organizational tips (CleanTok, of course)—and with this comes endless ways to organize your home.

TikTok has a new design theory on the rise: anyone whose couch doesn’t touch their walls is living in luxury. Having your couch in the middle of the room, according to many TikTok users, is the mark of an expensive home.

If there’s one thing celebrity recipes are guaranteed to do, it’s spark a (lightly-controversial) conversation in the comments of their social media. Reese Witherspoon did just that after she shared a new creation with the world on TikTok January 18: a mug of snow mixed with cold brew topped with salted caramel and chocolate drizzle.

With bold floral prints and themes coming back for 2024, now is the perfect time to add the most striking kind of decor to your space: a living plant wall.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the plant side of TikTok, you may still have heard of the art of mini ecosystems.

The housing market is finally starting to loosen up a little in 2024. But if you’re looking to get the most value out of your home before putting it on the market, you might want to consider a remodel.

Easyplant has released its list of plant trends for the new year, along with aesthetic styling tips to match every plant.

Are you busy propagating plants or trying to make your plant-cutting arrangements last a little longer? Plant cuttings involve taking a leafy plant—think pothos or philodendrons—and cutting it below a section of leaf, where you might already be seeing small aerial roots forming.
