Decorating In Design

Every piece of furniture has to work overtime when you’re living in a small space. Storage needs to be smart, and proportions should definitely be taken into account., Unfortunately, if we’re being honest, it can be hard to create a space that’s functional and looks pretty. I live in a small apartment myself, and my bedroom has always been a bit of a problem child.

Making baths and kitchens look custom for less — for 100 years and counting!

As it turns out, blackout curtains do a lot more than block light.

Color is key — but how you use it is even more important!

It’s also cheaper than the alternative, to boot.

That peel-and-stick wallpaper, though!

It’s the tiny, awkward room I didn’t know I needed.

I wish I’d done this ages ago.

Mix and match at will — pattern play is still very much a thing!

Vintage varsity energy is in the house, literally.

Starting at $25!

It’s time for a spring refresh.

It’s shockingly chic.

Back and better than ever!

They won’t last long.

The secret? Bold color, strategic light fixtures, and a sleeper sofa that’s a step up from Grandma’s setup.

It's the Year of the Horse... and of "horse girl" decor!

Don’t hate us for #3.

It’s not what you might expect.

We’re officially reaching the dullest, darkest, and coldest part of the winter here in the Northeastern U.S., and I find myself longing for vibrancy. Lucky for me, bright colors and bold patterns are still going strong in the design world for 2026 — and that’s exactly why this latest buzzy home decor drop first caught my eye. Nigerian-American multidisciplinary artist Temi Coker released his first collection with Walmart late last month, and boy, is bold an understatement!

Plush throws, sculptural mirrors, and more.

Save on Scandi- and MCM-inspired pieces.

Related shades also work well, too.

Like most pet owners, I’d do just about anything for my cat. Especially in the last two years or so, as my beloved calico Phoebe has entered into what the vet calls the “geriatric” stage. She’s still sassy as ever, but also 16 years old now, underweight, and VERY picky — so her appetite and nutrition is something I monitor closely.

It’s only $64 right now, too.

This rule never fails!

Bye-bye, linoleum — you won’t be missed!
