Pamela Anderson's new wicker furniture collection, 'The Sentimentalist,' for Olive Ateliers is a reflection of her love for gardening and outdoor living, showcasing her design sensibilities.

Work or social media can become addictive, and the bonds between people can suffer in the process. Designating certain spaces as screen-free zones helps provide a clear delineation between work or school and family time. Social media, office or school gossip, and work demands all erode time that could be better spent on personal growth through hobbies or the formation of social bonds.

If there was only one interior design style setting the tone in 2026, it would be Japandi. Apartment Therapy's State of Home Design survey identified Japandi style as one of the year's top design aesthetics, according to insights from 140 designers - and it's easy to see why. As more people strive to create spaces that feel calming, intentional, and grounded in nature, Japandi's blend of Japanese restraint and Scandinavian warmth feels especially timely.

Making a small bathroom both beautiful and functional is a tall task; after all, they're often short on light, floor space and lofty ceilings.

We examine the online debate ignited by Pantone's Colour of the Year, Cloud Dancer. This episode dives into the discussion prompted by Pantone, unpacking the uneasy relationship between colour and fascism. From hardline efforts to regulate colour in public life to the ways vibrancy and maximalism reassert themselves, we explore how colour becomes a quiet form of resistance across art, fashion, film, and design.

Buyers tend to see it as personal rather than neutral, which makes it harder for them to imagine themselves in the space," Ly adds.

But as everyone is chasing micro-trends, choosing a neutral kitchen and following your personal style comes across as more wise and timeless than ever. As seen in the 10 neutral kitchens below, hues like whites and off-whites, blacks, grays, beiges, and earth tones can be combined in infinite ways and applied to different textures and materials, to create kitchens that are dynamic, clean, and classy all at once.

Pigments Instead of Paints Experimental Art Spaces Return to Analog Above: You've probably seen the recent surge of "analog bags": tote bags filled with knitting, small sewing projects, crossword puzzles (the kind on paper), and other things to fill in-between moments. Call it analog, call it DIY, but making things-and antidotes to doomscrolling-is a move we can get behind in 2026.
