We talk about “moving day” as if schlepping houses is only a 24-hour affair. Between packing (so much packing), cleaning, and unpacking, moving can feel like an endless task. But it doesn’t have to be — especially when you have a little help.On Taskrabbit, you can book trusted local Taskers by the hour, often same-day, so you only pay for the help you need.

We tend to think wellbeing is achieved through nutritious meals, consistent workouts, and restful sleep.

Whether you’re moving into a dorm or an off-campus apartment, a few additions can up the coziness factor and transform it into a space that’s uniquely yours.

Our gardens and outdoor spaces feel like home as much as our rooms inside do: they’re tranquil, nurturing spots where we connect with nature and each other.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day helps those connections flourish, because community is more important now than ever.

AI can make life easier in many ways — even if you’re still figuring out what exactly those ways are.

With all respect to our first apartments, at some point, it’s time for our spaces to feel more grown-up. For Apartment Therapy Style Editor Emma Dangel, her self-described “big girl apartment” in NYC needed one more thing to accommodate the stage she wanted to be living in now: a place to eat.“I’m ready to romanticize my life and eat at a table, not on a sofa,” Emma says.

The right piece of furniture can solve multiple design dilemmas. Apartment Therapy Home Director Danielle Blundell had two: She needed extra room for overnight guests, and she wanted to improve the flow of her narrow living room. A small space–friendly sleeper sofa could help with both!“A stylish sleeper seemed like just the two-in-one I needed for cozy nights watching TV or hanging out — and an extra spot for easy (and comfy!) overnight hosting,” Danielle says.
