Decorating your home is a great way to celebrate a new season. Whether it’s pumpkins and skeletons for Halloween, or Santa and snowmen for Christmas, these themed decorations can help your family and guests embrace the holiday spirit.

Fall is here and that means care for your lawn and garden will differ greatly from the spring and summer months. As colder temperatures roll in, it may be time to start prioritizing other gardening tasks and stop others like mowing your lawn.

Many people wish their kitchen was more organized, and the good news is that revamping your space so that it's well kept and clutter free is much easier than you might think. Here, we're sharing tips from three interior designers and professional organizers regarding what makes for an organized kitchen.

There’s more to doing laundry correctly than just choosing the right wash cycle or incorporating the right laundry hacks. After clothes come out of the washer, you then must choose how to dry them. Air drying certain items (either by laying them flat or hanging them up to dry on the best drying rack) is crucial to maintaining their longevity. These include obvious articles of clothing like those made of delicate material—think silk blouses or lace pantyhose.

From sorting through expired sauces to rummaging through dried vegetable leaves, organizing a fridge can feel like an impossible task or a dreaded chore at best. However, a new trend is aiming to make fridge organization a breeze—and even look cute, too. Enter: fridgescaping.

Timing is everything in successful gardening—this includes pruning! As we enter autumn, we share a selection of perennials you should never cut back in the fall if you want them to grow and bloom abundantly in spring and summer!

If you watch the viral videos online of people cleaning their homes every Sunday, you may feel as though you need to level up your weekly routine a bit. It seems as though everyone is always turning their home or apartment upside down in order to address every corner and ensure that no area is left less than sparkling.

We're all guilty of it—when we're not sure what to do with something, it's off to the closet it goes, where it transforms into a problem for future you to tackle.
