This Is Your Home on GLP-1s
Interior designer Tristan Gary needs a bigger closet—and a few more mirrors. Two years ago, the Seattle resident started taking the weight loss drug Wegovy. It was part of a season of reinvention for the mom of three, who had recently gone through a divorce. Since then, she’s lost 15 pounds and found a whole new appreciation for the act of buying clothes. “It’s like a new hobby,” she says.

This San Francisco Victorian Features a Different Paint Color in Every Room Original
Emilie Munroe’s clients weren’t immediately sold on the idea of painting the ceiling in their piano room and dining room green—emerald and sage, respectively. “I was a huge advocate and think it makes the room,” the Studio Munroe designer says of the emerald. “Ultimately, it came down to [saying], ‘It’s just paint. We can always paint over it.’ And they absolutely loved it once it was installed.” From there, greens became a through line in the design, from the front door to the living room lamps.
HVAC Experts Say These 10 Air Conditioning Myths Could Cost You Money Original
7 min read Growing up in North Georgia, there was one thing my family never skimped on: air conditioning. My dad has owned and operated a local HVAC company for nearly four decades, and as a licensed technician, he made sure our house stayed refreshingly cool—sometimes even colder than I preferred. Still, during those brutally hot summers, it was hard to argue with his approach.

Organizing Experts Say “Junk Blindness” Is Why Your Home Always Feels Messy Original
When I moved into my now husband’s one-bedroom condo, he had framed art on the walls, plenty of real dishes and glassware in the cabinets, and actual bedroom curtains. It was nice and honestly not that messy—except for the dining table. There was a literal mountain of unopened mail on top, still in rubber-banded bundles. That’s right, he hadn’t even looked at it. When I sorted and shredded it all, I found bills addressed to an old girlfriend who had lived there almost a decade earlier.

【ルームツアー】1950年代の平屋をキャンバスに。テラコッタとブルーが響き合う感性の邸宅
あらゆるアーティストにとって、光と色は何よりも欠かせない要素。2020年に画家エリザベス・スターンが、ナッシュビルのフォレスト・ヒルズ地区にある歴史ある平屋を購入した際、その家にはまさにその“不可欠な要素”が欠けていた。その一方で、そこには他にはない独特の魅力が眠っていた。まず、1950年の築造以来、ほとんど手が加えられていなかったこと。それはリノベーションに携わる者にとって、まさに理想的な“キャンバス”といえた。さらに、敷地の広さも格別だった。市街地にありながら約32000㎡を超える広大な土地には、プールハウスや納屋も備わっていた。現在の用途地域規制を考えれば、これらを新たに建てるのは極めて困難であり、非常に稀有な物件だったのである。...
How a Complicated Hollywood Hills Renovation Taught One Couple the Art of Compromise
3 min read Subdued Glamour. That’s how designer Katie Hodges envisioned the first home she bought, in October 2020, with her producer-director husband, Timothy Bathurst. Inspired by the location near Los Angeles’s historic Whitley Heights enclave, the former Next Wave designer was picturing the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, but she didn’t want to strong-arm her client (i.e., her husband) into going along with her plan.
デザイナーがNY・ブルックリンで進めたキッチン改装。その現実とは？
まず、これから紹介する実例に関しては、数多あるニューヨークのリノベーションプロジェクトの中でもかなり変わった事例だと理解した上で、読み進めてもらいたい。 家族で住むためのタウンハウスをニューヨーク、ブルックリンに購入したデザイナーのクリスティーナ・サルウェイ。彼女が荒廃しきった室内を片付けていると（床から天井までガラクタが積み上げられていた）、ベッドルームのクローゼットに不思議なものをみつけた。それは「シンク」と「コンロ」。ここに長らく暮らしていた前オーナーの家族が、個々に過ごす空間を快適に仕立てるために、何ものにも縛られることなく自由にカスタマイズしていたのだ。...

The One Trick Pro Designers Use to Make Small Kitchens Seem Massive
If you think about it, some of the smallest kitchens put out the most delicious food — in iconic spaces, no less. Remember: Julia Child’s kitchen was only 20×14 feet, and she shot a TV show in there (at 6’3”!). You do not need a few hundred more square feet to create the kitchen of your dreams. With a smart kitchen design and solid organizing ideas, you can fit everything you need plus most of the things you want in your space — even if it feels cramped.

A Mid-Century Modern Purple Sink Transforms a Bathroom With Moody Makeover Magic
Decorating with thrifted and salvaged home goods is more than a trend; it’s a movement that I’m 100% behind. Secondhand shopping — for vintage tins, one-of-a-kind wall decor, antique wicker, and more — lightens your footprint and makes your home more personal. Charleston, South Carolina-based painter and textile designer Rebecca Atwood is a proponent of it, too. Atwood has recovered all kinds of furniture in her collections and for her own home.

Taking a creative risk in your home can really pay off, especially for updating original features like tiles that have lost their luster. New Jersey designer Hollie Velten-Latrell of Spaces by Hollie Velten knew an unconventional palette would “peel off the outdated layers” from this formerly traditional fireplace “and give it a new look.” She nixed the green marble cladding, white surround, and brass screen.

12 Air Conditioning LIES That Have Probably Cost You Thousands
Growing up in North Georgia, if there was one thing that my family took seriously, it was our air conditioning. My dad has run a local HVAC business for nearly 40 years, and as a licensed technician himself, he always kept our home icy cold—sometimes a little too much for my taste. But in the sweltering summer heat, who was I to complain? Though central air has been a staple in American homes since the late 1960s, the average adult understands shockingly little about how it works.

Se le pareti di casa sono dipinte con questi colori, il valore dell'immobile aumenta
Thomas Kuoh La camera da letto sopra è stata progettata dallo Studio Munroe. Un tempo gli agenti immobiliari dicevano di rendere la casa una tela bianca quando la si preparava per la vendita. Le pareti bianche o neutre rendevano più facile immaginare l'arredamento in ogni stanza. Questo consiglio standard è stato ribaltato: L'ultima ricerca di Zillow ha scoperto che dipingere la casa con colori ricchi e memorabili come il grigio antracite può farla vendere a un prezzo più alto.

Vibrant “Personal Style” Inspired This Home’s PUNCHY Color Palette
"She wears this house in her clothes." That’s how designer Kevin Sawyers describes the woman who lives in this 1915 San Francisco home with her husband and two kids, explaining, “If you looked in her closet, it would very much reflect these colors.” The house had been owned by an architect and was in great condition, but it was lacking something. “It was nice, but it didn’t have personality,” Sawyers says. “And the colors were not cohesive.” So he aligned it with her personal aesthetic.

6 verfkleuren die de waarde van je huis zeker verhogen
De slaapkamer hierboven werd ontworpen door Studio Munroe. Jarenlang gold: houd het interieur neutraal als je je huis gaat verkopen. Denk: witte muren, beige meubels – een blanco canvas waarin een potentiële koper zich makkelijk kon inleven. Maar die strategie maakt plaats voor iets nieuws: kleur. En dan bedoelen we niet een voorzichtig pasteltje her en der, maar diepe, rijke tinten zoals donkergrijs, bosgroen of marineblauw.
How to Buy the Best Refrigerator
A True refrigerator makes a statement in designer Shazalynn Cavin Winfrey’s Texas kitchen. A refrigerator is one of the main fixtures of your kitchen. As with your range and range hood, the “best” one for you depends on your budget, your lifestyle, and your design aesthetic. If you need to feed a family of five, you probably have different priorities than someone who buys mostly seltzer and takeout.
So You Inherited a House. What Does That Mean for Your Taxes?
The Victorian home above was designed by Celerie Kemble and Kristen Blood of Kemble Interiors. Inherited property may sound like a windfall. But it can actually be complicated and difficult to sort out—especially when you’re stressed and grieving a loved one who has passed away. In some cases, this real estate can be expensive for you too. Inheriting your great-aunt’s vacation house on Nantucket? Great. Inheriting your great-aunt’s missed mortgage payments and tax bill? Not so great.
7 Paint Colors That Boost Your Home’s Real Estate Value Original
The bedroom above was designed by Studio Munroe. Real estate agents used to tell you to make your home a blank canvas when you were prepping it to sell. White or neutral walls made it easier for them to picture their furnishings in every room. That standard advice has been flipped on its head: The latest research from Zillow found that painting your home in rich, memorable colors like charcoal gray can make it sell for more money.
This Risqué Shower Trend Is Making Houses FLY Off the Market Original
The above shower was designed by Linda Hayslett of LH.Designs. I live in a northern New Jersey suburb where houses routinely sell for 135 percent over asking. (I know, it’s crazy.) My husband and I managed to buy a house that was for sale by owner in late 2020 and got an interest rate that means we’ll never ever move, but we’re still obsessed with seeing what we could get on Zillow. We’ve noticed a few features that always seem to start a bidding war.

These Are the Hardest Places in the U.S. to Get Homeowners Insurance Original
Homeowners insurance isn’t just something you’re glad to have in a disaster. It’s a prerequisite for a mortgage, and getting one of those is the only way most of us can afford a home. So, if your insurance carrier cancels your coverage, you’re stuck. Most people wouldn’t want to—or be able to—buy your house, which sinks your property value. When this happens to whole communities, the entire area declines.

The Best Bottle Sterilizers To Make Cleanup Faster And More Efficient

The Best Long-Lasting Lipsticks That Wear For Hours, Based On Testing
The best long-lasting lipsticks make it effortless to wear your signature color, whether it’s the rosy nude you swipe on for work or the bold crimson you want to last through the day. Their rich pigments coat your lips for hours yet also feel soft and flexible, not drying, which is a tricky balance to strike. They usually set within minutes so they won’t rub off, fading slowly and evenly over time.
The Best Baby Walkers And Alternatives To Keep Tots Happy And Safe
The best baby walkers look a lot different than the walkers of the past.

The Very Best Hair Dryers, According To Months Of Extensive Testing
The best hair dryers work quickly without damaging hair, leaving it smoother, shinier and more voluminous than air drying ever could. They’re quiet enough to still hear your favorite podcast while in use, and they’re light enough that they don’t tire out your arms. After testing for these factors, as well as temperature, speed settings and ease of use, I found the T3 AireLuxe to be the best overall for its higher-than-average number of settings and simple but effective design.
A Masterclass in Making Challenging Spaces the Focal Point of Your Design Original
A turret is one of those unique details prospective home buyers obsess over—and kids dream about. (Who doesn’t want a bedroom in a tower?) Well, this Kansas City, Missouri, Tudor, built nearly 100 years ago, has two. But as its new owners found out, a lot of houses that have them aren’t designed for the flow of modern life. The family of four initially brought in Mallory Robins and Elizabeth Bennett, founders of Kobel + Co, to renovate the kitchen, which was their biggest pain point.
