A radiator shelf is a simple way to give an unloved panel purpose, add a spot for styling, and make a space feel more finished, all without much effort or expense. Whether it's a slim hallway ledge for post and keys, a painted timber top that complements wall panelling, or a bespoke addition beneath a bay window, a radiator shelf brings charm and function in equal measure.

While certain appliances must be fixed to connect to power and water sources, the rest of a freestanding kitchen is not built in, but rather consists of furniture you can move. While this design approach came into fashion in the '90s, that's not when it originated; in fact, the '90s style of unfitted kitchens was cottage-inspired, nodding to the freestanding kitchens with only a fixed fire source that existed for centuries.

Nailing that inviting aesthetic isn't always easy, though; design pros make careers out of curating and cultivating layering techniques to invent cozy spaces that don't feel cluttered. There are also other signals that interior designers use (think: color!) to create cozy, warm interiors that don't require you to run out to HomeGoods for seasonal decor that you can't use after Halloween.

Rita Moreno doesn't just bring her dynamic persona to classic films like West Side Story and Singin' in the Rain. The EGOT winner also infuses her homes with that same bright, bombastic energy. When asked how she would describe her interior design style, the actor once said, "I'm tribal and chintz and wicker. I love more natural and organic things. But I also love elegance."

"If I see one more TV mounted above the fireplace, I'm going to scream. Even if craning your neck to stare upward at a screen for hours was comfortable, ruining a focal point intended for gathering near by slogging your dust-trap boob tube on top of it is peak tacky." -Anonymous, 38, Washington

Trends come and go in the world of interior design, but some have a knack for overstaying their welcome. To find out which styles truly make Brits cringe, we surveyed 1,000 UK adults and asked them: which interior design trends give you the ultimate "ick"? The results are revealing, funny, and for some homeowners maybe a little painful. From grey-on-grey everything to carpeted bathrooms, these are the styles that the British public are more than ready to leave behind.

The homeowners had no desire to drastically reimagine the floor plan. "They didn't want to do a complete gut," said Eva Dornstreich, TBHCo.'s design director, who worked with Style Director Holly Waterfield to reorganize the space and furnish it with sophisticated style. "Our strategy was to break through the laundry area of the smaller apartment to create a pass-through between the two units."

Throughout history, apothecaries have acted as spaces of both curiosity and care. Traditionally defined by dark wood, elaborate detailing, and a plethora of small drawers containing unseen intrigues, these service-forward spaces offered intimate consultations conducted on either side of a counter. Living Beauty boldly reinvents this bygone but invaluable typology, defining an impactful interior design identity for the luxury beauty retailer.

Their previous London flats were industrious with white walls and neutral palettes, and the move to Miami allowed Brenninkmeijer to unleash a whimsical sense of play and lean heavy on color, pattern, and texture. She found inspiration in visiting the vestiges of old Florida: the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West, taking careful notes along the way.

Each time, after making the place absolutely magnificent, they move on. Just don't call Krakoff a house flipper: "I despise that word," he once told the Wall Street Journal. "Design is our life." And so it is with 55 Dune Road in Amagansett, a contemporary beachfront house the couple spent five years building and, two years after finishing the job, have put on the market for $49.5 million.

When I was moving into an apartment with my wife, we wanted a clean, cozy, art-filled oasis but, of course, we didn't have the budget that my clients have so we had to get creative!

Recently tasked with the retrofit of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin - the groundbreaking hotel he and his team originally designed in 2014 - prolific German designer Werner Aisslinger was presented with the rare chance of revisiting an old project. Not only that, he was able to mark the epochal shifts mentioned above and introduce comprehensive upgrades accordingly. As demonstrated in this unique endeavor, it isn't just interior design that has evolved in the past decade but also the practice's approach.

Earthy tones and muted hues may be having a moment (just look at 2025's colors of the year so far!), but bright colors are always a timeless choice for interiors. Zesty oranges, vibrant teals, sunny yellows, and punchy pinks bring life, energy, and character into any home while suiting many design aesthetics. After years of "beige on beige" and " millennial gray " interiors, bright color palettes are becoming increasingly popular as people look to create spaces that feel personal and packed with personality.
