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.

I’ll Never Use an Ordinary Spice Rack Again After Seeing This One

I’ve lived in my apartment for six years, have had my fair share of roommates, and cook at home often, so trust that I’ve accumulated a lot of spices. I use what I can and toss anything that’s truly old, but I still have quite a collection that needs organizing in my kitchen cabinets.Even my two wall-mounted spice racks can’t contain it all!

The Best Fix for My Jet Lag Is Also the Quickest (It Works Every Time!)

I seriously suffer from jet lag — especially after a long-haul flight, even if I’ve managed to get a few hours of shut-eye. It seems like my jet lag symptoms seem to hang around for days. Even when I’m in an exciting new country, I find myself walking around like a zombie during the day, and being fully awake ready to run a marathon in the middle of the night.

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

Red paint is sometimes difficult to work with and style, but — when paired with the right colors and in just the right shade — it can elevate any room. (Have you heard of the unexpected red theory?)A rust-meets-red paint job in Abigail Rogers’ (@abigailrogersinteriors) bedroom is the perfect, rich color choice for her Victorian home — but that’s only one great element of her bedroom redo, which includes an IKEA hack, a DIY headboard, and more.

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?

This 1960s Bathroom Redo Made Room for a Surprising Amount of Storage

Older homes can sometimes become a hodgepodge of design styles as updates get added over the years. That was the case in Jess Bond’s (The Bond House) bathroom, which was partially original to her 1962 home — but was also partially updated with ’90s upgrades that included a vinyl floor and a dingy, yellowed tub insert.

A Laundry Room Was an Eyesore Until IKEA Cabinets Gave It an Organized Redo

Sure, there’s a lot to be said for minimalist decor—but there are places where blank walls just don’t work. One of those is a laundry room. When Ten V (Delish & Decor) and her family moved into their home, for instance, the laundry room was pretty much empty.“When we moved in, we just quickly got a wall organizer to hang all the cleaning tools and a cheap shelf for detergents and fabric softener for our laundry room,” Ten says.

Stop Using a Regular Alarm on Your Phone — Try This Nostalgic Alternative Instead

As hard as it is to believe, autumn is nearly here. It can be sad to see the summer go, but fall is a wonderful time of year and deserves to be celebrated. You can go apple picking, put a simmer pot on the stove, bake a pumpkin pie, or add an autumnal wreath to your front door. There’s another even simpler way to bring some festive, calming fall vibes to your daily routine, and it doesn’t require going on a trip or carving up a pumpkin.
