Whether you're looking to economize space in the workplace or an at-home office, selecting a functional and stylish desk is a must, and these options are perfect for small spaces.

In short: Designers want you to be brave.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, it’s about that time to eat, drink and be merry, and if you are hosting this holiday season, you’ll be elbow deep in charcuterie and wine charms before you can say “Black Friday Blowout.” With the cousins in town or the neighbors stopping in, there’s one thing that you’ll need no matter your spread: extra seating.

For those of us who love to decorate for the holidays but hate the tacky factor, getting in the Halloween spirit can be challenging. Jack-o-lanterns can get messy and produce mixed results (#PumpkinCarvingFail) and many of us don’t have the desire (or the storage space) to go full haunted house come October 31. But fear not! We’ve sourced some Halloween decor options that set the spooky vibe without looking like Party City exploded in your living room.

What better way to express your summer style than to look to the stars for a little decorating direction? If you’re in the market for some fun accouterment to liven up your space, let your sign be your guide. Whether you’re a fiery Leo or an Earth-bound Virgo, it’s time to trust the stars (and the internet!) to illuminate that perfect finishing touch! You are adventurous, enthusiastic, and nothing if not courageous, so why not be bold with some wild statement wallpaper?

"Keep Calm and Please STOP IT."

Straight from the experts.

On May 1, 2017, my partner and I squeezed all of our remaining belongings into an overstuffed Hyundai Elantra and departed on a one-way trip from Toronto to Vancouver. I say remaining belongings because an 2008 Elantra is no U-Haul. Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco but we left all of our furniture in the Salvation Army loading bay.

The best piece of advice I received when I moved from Toronto to Vancouver last year came from a family member who had more than one major move under his belt. Having experienced the anxiety of packing and the self-doubt that comes with paring down, he told me, “you’re always going to throw away stuff that you wish you kept and bring stuff that you wish you left behind.

It’s no surprise that moving across the country means that not all of your things can necessarily move with you. For my partner and me, area code hopping from Toronto to Vancouver meant forsaking all of our home furnishings to make room in the car for keepsakes and clothing. So where do you start when you sign the lease and you have nothing but wardrobe changes and some family photos?

Amazon Prime is perfectly great for two-day shipments of everything from granola bars to hairdryers to toilet paper. But if you’re looking for something a little more unique, or even handmade, you’ve probably turned to independent artists on sites like Etsy. In a move to fill this void, Amazon launched its Handmade section last year with more than 80,000 items—and we have to say that we love what we see.

Whether you’re watching the latest television reboot or liking the latest retro #TBT on your timeline, nostalgia for the ’90s is at an all time high. While the pop culture love fest for the decade rages on, let’s take a look back at some of the craziest decorating trends that will give any 90s kid a truly rad blast from the past. Maybe the ’90s should have been known as the see-through decade. Transparency was totally in when it came to home decor.

Let’s face it, leaving the house can be pretty overrated. For those of us who are more into staying in, home is not only where the heart is, it’s also where we are, like, all of the time. If you’re looking to channel your indoorsy side, look no further than this wishlist of items to help you truly embody your inner homebody, conveniently categorized and all available to order from the comfort of your couch.
