Everyone has someone on their Christmas list that’s impossible to shop for. You know the ones – the ones who have everything, the ones who buy themselves anything they want, that one sort of distant relative you don’t know well enough to get something personal. But before you resign yourself to falling back on one […]
When faced with remodeling a small bathroom, your instinct is probably to pare down – to look for the smallest, most minimalist furniture and fixtures you can find. After all, a happy small bathroom is one that’s simple, streamlined, clean, and clutter free, right? Certainly that can be true, but if you’re not a big fan […]
In many parts of the world, living space is at a premium. That means no big, sweeping kitchens and no sprawling master suites. But while a shortage of square footage can feel like a huge problem here in the States, densely populated areas around the world have turned small space living into an art form, […]
There’s a pretty strong stigma when it comes to different styles in master bathroom design: big bathrooms tend to have a traditional aesthetic, while smaller ones skew more modern. The simple reason for this is that modern bathroom vanities are, by and large, the better choice for small spaces. They’re often better designed in terms […]
In some parts of the world, having a full-sized oven in your kitchen is almost unheard of. But in America – land of casseroles and bake sales – it’s not unreasonable to consider that the standard full-sized oven built into your range might not actually be enough.

Staircases are probably one of the most overlooked features of any home. After all, they aren’t exactly a place you linger – they’re pretty exclusively there to get you where you’re going, and most conventional staircases aren’t much to look at. But well-designed staircases can be beautiful, and modern minimalist staircases open up a whole […]
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 […]
Working with a slightly-too-small space is one of the biggest challenges of interior design, and in a room that sees heavy daily use like a bathroom, it can be tempting to abandon aesthetics in favor of functionality. But a small bathroom that works well can also be one that looks good: you just have to […]
Setting up a home office can be tricky, especially if you’re a little short on space or don’t work from home enough to justify dedicating a whole room to the task. Most desks are designed to be part of a permanent, dedicated home office, which means they’re too big and bulky to just stick in the […]
