A new and bold paint trend has caught the attention of interior design enthusiasts, and it’s growing in popularity for its tailored aesthetic. Double drenching involves coating a room and its surfaces in two or more related, complementary colors. This painting style allows you to make not just a novel aesthetic choice but a confident stride towards creating immersive, personalized environments.

Order & Structure

Decluttering one’s home can be an overwhelming physical and mental nightmare. We all know how quickly our homes are filled with things we don’t need, don’t use, and don’t want. But with careful planning and an efficient routine, we can help maintain a clutter-free home with some quick and easy weekly habits. Why Decluttering is Important An overly cluttered home—even those far removed from “hoarding” status—can pose many issues for day-to-day living. Kids, pets, and adults step over piles of household and personal items, never packing them away and increasing the chances of someone falling flat on their face.

In the world of houseplants and veggie gardens, a new trend is emerging—hydroponic gardens. The concept is fairly simple: growing plants in nutrient-rich water, forgoing the need for soil. This method of plant growth allows you to enjoy the plants’ foliage and fascinating root systems. The best part is that plants grown in water are extremely easy to take care of and keep alive! 1. Lucky Bamboo The Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena Sanderiana) plant is said to bring good luck to its grower and prefers bright, indirect light. The stalks can be trained to grow into spirals or woven shapes, but ensure that they are secured in the vase as they can become top-heavy as more leaves grow.
