It's hard to keep a home clean, as anyone who has to find a way to do it knows. But as difficult and oftentimes unrewarding as cleaning can be, it isn't impossible, and as with so many things, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Practically speaking, that means targeting problem areas and furnishing them intelligently to prevent messes from accumulating in the first place. One of the ...
If you have a big family, and particularly if you have more than two cars, there are probably quite a few sets of keys floating around your house. I know in my family, we do more than a little car juggling ("I need the van today, you take the truck!"), which can sometimes lead to crossed signals and miscommunication if we aren't careful. Keeping all the family's keys in one designated spot is a...
High backed chairs with simple canvas or linen colored upholstery are starting to pop up all over the design world right now, particularly as part of the increasingly popular restoration style. These chairs combine an old fashioned elegance with a simple, clean finish that makes them well suited to a contemporary space, whether it's a living room, dining room, or even a master bathroom. They're am...
Maybe more than any other room in the home, the kitchen is one space that often winds up reflecting the personalities of the people that use it. Big, luxury kitchen remodels have become hugely popular in home design, and more often than not they come with a few custom touches - whether it's specialty kitchen cabinets or a custom counter top or backsplash. But one of the best ways to personalize an...
Corners are always among the most difficult spots to decorate and, in my experience, ones that lend themselves all too well to inelegant solutions. You can't comfortably hang art in a corner, most furniture doesn't fit comfortably in a corner, and corner windows are more of an architectural feat than a go-to solution. Comparatively, it's pretty easy to plunk down a
At its core, Parisian chic design is an homage to the fashion and luxury - past and present - of the City of Light, and a way to bring a little slice of it into your home. It's one part modern, one part antique, and all about luxury and style. As with any theme, Parisian chic design is best done on a smaller scale (say, a single room) to keep it simple, keep it subtle, and to keep it from overwhel...
Entryways are one of the busiest spots in any home - or at the very least, they're the spot in your home where you're most likely to feel busy: when you're rushing out the door first thing in the morning or dragging your feet back inside at the end of the day. But decorating that one odd spot well can make your life just that little tiny bit easier when you're at your most harrie...
Everyone likes to have friends over once in a while - even people who aren't every-weekend entertainers. But entertaining guests gets a lot more complicated the less space you have; if you don't have a formal dining room, a big open kitchen, or even much space at all beyond your ordinary living areas, there isn't exactly space to install a home bar, game room, or extensive home theater. But that d...
Though almost all living rooms have one, coffee tables aren't often used as a visual focal point. On the one hand, this is a very strange thing, since coffee tables occupy primo real estate: they're placed literally right in the center of the room. At the same time, though, coffee tables fall firmly in the realm of practical furnishings - they're used for setting down drinks and food, displaying m...
When it comes to entertaining, wine is one of the most traditional drinks there is. Since ancient times, sharing a glass of wine has been a sign of friendship and camaraderie. So when you have a few friends over, it's never a bad idea to have a bottle on hand. But how and how often you entertain, as well as the size of your personal collection a make a big difference in the size and type of wine s...
