Aesthetically, metal kitchens are sleek with reflective surfaces, which Hunter says can transform the room into a bright, inviting space. But when it comes down to functional benefits, he loves the hygienic surfaces and their ability to withstand high temperatures.

“The modern and sometimes industrial look of metal kitchens can be beautifully integrated into various design themes, making them a versatile choice for many homes,” he says.

When you think about white kitchen appliances, chances are you’re transported back to the kitchens of the 1990s. If you’re picturing outdated kitchens with yellowing fridges, you aren’t alone. But it’s 2024 and white kitchen appliances are back with a completely new look that’s so chic—yes, really!
No Mow May is a bee conservation movement that has surged in popularity over the last few years, in part, due to its simplicity. To participate, all you need to do is leave your lawn alone in May. This allows lawn flowers to bloom and feed hungry native bees emerging from hibernation when other flowers are scarce.
Pale brick pavers, laid in a herringbone pattern, run from the open-plan ground floor out into the garden, creating a seamless transition between the two spaces.
The exterior facade of your home is what truly makes its first impression. Homes are often set in the same cookie-cutter designs and palettes, so it’s easy to ignore the exterior and jump straight to the inner walls of your abode.
As the warm weather season approaches, we asked professional gardeners and landscapers to weigh in with their insights regarding the hottest landscaping looks of the year. From creating shade gardens to mixing in darker foliage, these trends will elevate your outdoor space.
Aside from the dryer itself, dryer sheets make doing laundry that much easier—they are basically liquid fabric softeners in sheet form. Both add softness, remove static, and imbue your dry clothes with a hint of fragrance.
It's no secret that lighting can make or break a room, and one of our favorite ambient lighting options is wall sconces, especially for bedrooms—any bedroom with a bed flanked by two beautiful wall lights is instantly elevated from drab to fab.
As spring and summer approach, bringing the outside in through our home decor starts to feel very appealing. And as we've been filling our homes with floral bouquets and scrolling for the perfect seasonal pieces of home decor, a certain shell-like motif keeps popping up.
Whether you've just received the keys to your new home, or are redecorating after a few years, a new bedroom paint color is the perfect way to refresh your room.
