The Finnish Wellness Ritual You Should Try the Next Time You Shower

I live in New York City, where there are quite a few Eastern European saunas and bath houses. I’ve only been to a few of them, but every experience has been memorable — partially because of how intense-slash-relaxing a sauna or spa day can be, but also because of the ambiance. Some spas serve full meals, and some have rooms where the walls are made entirely of ice. And sometimes I’ll see someone getting brushed with leafy sticks while steaming up in the sauna.

I Finally Got My Hands on the Viral Beverage Fridge That’s Always Sold Out — It’s Worth Every Penny

One thing about me: I love a good beverage. Seltzer, Diet Coke, a gorgeous iced coffee, fancy kombuchas, non-alcoholic Ghia Spritzes, good natural wine, ice-cold cheap beer — the list goes on. As such, my mom once got me a wine fridge for Christmas that could hold up to 12 bottles of wine. It was nice enough, but it was no match for my apartment’s winter heating system and internal summer temps, so it could really only hold the wine at about 55 to 70 degrees.

An IKEA BILLY Hack Added Storage and Built-In Charm to My Living Room

My 1940 rowhouse has great bones, like a beautiful brick fireplace and original hardwood floors, but it’s been up to me to add architectural details — all those charming, characterful touches that I love in a space. So when I moved in (with my new homeowner’s zeal for DIY and too many boxes of books), one of my first projects was to create a faux built-in using an IKEA BILLY bookshelf.

Two Doors Made This Bathroom Feel Awkward — So One of Them Had to Go

A functional, well-designed bathroom just might be the most important room in a home. After all, everyone in a home uses it — especially if it’s in a high-traffic part of a house or apartment. Homeowner Kiley Cutler wanted to make her main-level bathroom look and feel like a put-together space for her husband, two kids, and guests, so she opted to give the yellow-toned space a much-needed makeover.

The Boldest Part of This Color-Drenched Bedroom Isn’t Even the Paint

Get Your Junk Drawer Organized for Good with This Foolproof Method

Junk drawers are home to far more than just “junk.” Yes, the odd or random item can end up here, but most of the time they’re filled with necessary items, like pens, rubber bands, scissors, charging cords, or even receipts for something you intend to return. Because they’re a spot where miscellaneous things gather, junk drawers can often get super messy. Fortunately, a quick decluttering session can snap yours back into shape.

A Plain Attic Bedroom Is Now a “Little Jewel Box” After a Colorful Redo

Guest rooms are traditionally used to host out-of-town visitors, but because friends and family typically stay for only short periods, it can feel like a waste of space when no one is there. Project Lead for Mira Jean Designs, Jessica Viator, had clients who wanted to make the most of their extra bedroom. “They were craving a space they enjoyed walking into and one that reflected their personalities and flowed better with the rest of the home,” Jessica explains.

Color is a powerful part of decorating your living space. Neutral hues may be easy to work with, but the right pop of color can add beauty and ambiance to your space and even increase your home’s value. Paint is usually the go-to way to bring color into a home, but if you rent then you might not want to (or be able to).Luckily there are plenty of other ways to infuse color into your home that are renter-friendly, like through the furniture items you select. Love the color blue?
