Renting the place you live – whether it’s an apartment, house, or otherwise – can really put a cramp on your ability to decorate. After all, lots of the easiest ways to express yourself through design (aka painting and hanging art) are almost universally banned in rental homes. But even if you’re stuck with white […]

Worse still, how do you add […]

One of the biggest frustrations of working in interior design is that a room you decorate almost never looks as good when photographed as it does in person. It’s difficult to get a good angle of a room while you’re in it (making many interior photos lopsided or oddly cropped), and photography tricks that make […]

Farmhouse bathrooms are an iconic staple of the design world, and a look that’s usually pretty dependent on a few specific fixtures and features. Clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks, and subway and hex tile all spell a look that’s homey and classic. But if you want a style that captures that coziness but feels a little […]

Cottage and farmhouse style bathrooms are a big go-to for homeowners looking to make the most of a smaller bathroom, but for a long time now that’s mostly meant making spaces that are wall-to-wall white: white tile, white vanities, and white porcelain just-about-everything.

Modern design is often associated with sterile, artificial elements: plastic, metal, and concrete that are anything but earthy. But while many modern spaces have the posh, hands-off feel of an art gallery, it is possible to design a space that has both a contemporary sensibility and a more relaxed, natural feel. This master bathroom by Geschke […]

The last few years have seen an overwhelming trend toward open, barrier-free spaces in interior design and architecture. But one of the oft-overlooked consequences to knocking down a lot of walls and merging multiple rooms is that there isn’t much to distinguish between the different areas of the resulting space. There are plenty of tips […]

Guest bathrooms and powder rooms are among my favorite spaces to experiment with new styles. They’re relatively small, which means you won’t need a lot of time or materials to totally transform the space. They’re also less frequently used, which means you can be a little bolder with your choices than you might for a […]

Buying a big, expensive piece of art is something of a rite of passage. Whether you’re graduating from that print of Starry Night you had in college, a hand-me-down painting from gramma or a discount store, or finally moving on from your blank, unadorned wall, having a signature piece of art that you really love […]

Mixing and matching furniture and accessories from different styles and time periods used to be somewhat taboo; unusual mishmashes tend to get lumped together as “eclectic.” These days, though, much of interior design is trending towards transitional design. Blending traditional and contemporary elements is almost a must for getting a look that feels elegant and […]
