If you haven't yet checked out Melissa and Henry's house tour (posted on Apartment Therapy earlier this week) we recommend taking a look for some serious organizational inspiration. The couple ...
There is just something intriguing and beautiful about spiral and helicial staircases - the sort of magical "lighter than air" feeling it gives to something architecturally important in combinati...
Q: Hi Apartment Therapy, I need your help. I recently moved into a new house, and my mom gave me my grandmother's antique bedroom set. The only trouble is I moved into a room with blue-gray wal...
The orange accent wall has become a design metaphor, an almost cliched expression of boldness in decorating. Despite its pervasiveness, we still really love a good orange wall, especially one t...
You're getting ready to go on vacation. In the days leading up to it, are you getting ready or leaving it until the last minute?......
"Suburban" (the good, the bad, and the ugly) means many things to many people. In this case, the word "suburban" belongs to an art space created by Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam. The couple convert...
We ran across this photo of a stenciled room by Benjamin Moore - it was done with the new Portico Wall Tattoo and the idea is that you use it in repeat to create an all-over wallpaper-like effe...
We've said it time and again—good lighting is important. It's one of those things that can completely transform a room, especially if you switch out an ugly old ceiling light with a new penda...
Three ideas in one small kitchen corner are visible in this photo from Ideal Home - the big one is, of course, the ultra-compact spiral staircase. This one has a very......

A seat with a view. Window benches are a real luxury in a home—an escape within your own four walls. We'd like to take a seat in any of the benches shown above, armed with a book, a cup of co...
Q: I'm going to be moving into this studio apartment in a couple of weeks - I'm nervous about how I'm going to set it up comfortably so that I can separate a 'bedroom' area from a 'living area' [more...
It's rare that we feature a threesome High and Low, but this trio definitely seems to go together like peas and carrots. We love the look of the Curvee table and we recently noticed the equally cute ...
We've written about the benefits of floor pillows before on Apartment Therapy. They're relatively inexpensive, and they're a comfortable, casual way to add extra seating around the fire, the TV...
When creating an inviting and comfortable bedroom for guests, the bedside table can make or break the momentum. We've posted before about being sure to provide thoughtful items like reading mat...
Unpacking to me sort of feels like putting away laundry, and I just don't like it. It's a stupid thing to mind, but I'd rather do the laundry and clean house than fold and put away clothes. Just a wei...
Q - I'll be visiting my boyfriend's childhood hometown of Cleveland, OH for just a few days in mid-July. I'd love to do some thrifting for random treasures (from midcentury modern furniture to retro s...
We went to an opening day showing of the latest installment of the Harry Potter film series yesterday and it definitely did not disappoint when it comes to the visuals. The photography and imager...

Hotels can function as laboratory of sorts, allowing designers to try out ideas that may be too new, too big or too pricey for their residential projects. Through this process of experimentation ...
Raised floors are an interesting detail in a home. They help to section off space without the use of walls, and they sometimes even create hidden storage areas. We've seen several examples of p...
Q- My wife and I are renovating our condo and as part of the construction there is a 7' high wall that creates our new entry foyer. Since this new wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling and is the...

We might not have an ocean coastline here in the Midwest, but we do have the world's largest freshwater lake system, and some amazing beach towns that go with it. From Wisconsin to Michigan to ...
Sure, you might expect to spot hammocks all over people's outdoor spaces in a warmer climate. But Montreal gets only a few gorgeous warm-weather months. That doesn't stop Montrealers, though: the ci...
More from our recent trip to Greece: Marble was everywhere! That, along with interesting tiles and unusual juxtapositions offered us an interesting view of restaurant and shop design. For the ac...

A cube or pouf can be a very useful addition to a small space sitting area for, well, extra seating, but if you choose one with a bit of offbeat texture it is a design boon as well. We've chosen ...
This color combo is surprisingly light and airy, even though it incorporates some hues from the darker end of the spectrum. It leans towards cool tones, with a pale blue that's got a little bit...
We've always thought of this as a no-no. The arrangement of framed artwork in a stair-stepped manner is one look that seemed nearly impossible to pull off elegantly - but then, we saw this version of ...

When in doubt, buy two. A bit outrageous sounding, I know, and when it comes to small spaces it can seem counter productive, but it is a rule of thumb that can really work when it comes to interiors....
We blogged Tryon Farm (a green community in Michigan City, Indiana) a couple of years ago, but we hadn't really noticed their amazing guest house until now. Located just ten minutes away from L...

Drive-in theaters were on the wane even during our childhood, but we still nostalgically recall our family visits. These days, you may be hard-pressed to find a drive-in in your area, but it's still p...
Even though you may live in a small space, you still need tools. Small homes put storage space at a premium, and walls are sometimes the best place to stow your stuff. Wall-mounted tool organiz...

Heather and Johnny sent in a good question: We are moving house next month and while our new kitchen is MUCH larger and more functional, it's ugly! I am particularly bothered by the pennisula an...
Bedding is one of those things you can always find on sale, no matter what time of year. Yesterday, when we had to replace our extra sheets in time for some last-minute house guests, we ran by Macy'...
New pillows and pouches (of all shapes and sizes) are on their way from Thomas Paul. They'll be hitting retailers this October, but we got a sneak peek at them now......

In the city, it's hard to find a quiet space outside unless you go up. Rooftops are the urban version of an open meadow—vast and calm. On top of a high-rise, the traffic below is distant and ...
Jase sent us a good question: I was hoping someone in the AT community might help. My house has a series of speakers in each room and an old control unit in the kitchen. Nothing works and the ...
