There is an idea in environmental psychology that suggests you can understand a person more quickly by walking through their home than by sitting across from them in conversation.
"I found this really cute picnic basket at Goodwill for $4.79 and loved the weaving on it," Ana Ochoa from @ana.ochoaliving said in a recent Instagram video. She shared that the basket's straps were on their last legs, and she had the perfect second life in mind for it.

Sentimental Value is very much a film about a house - a Victorian " dragestil," or "dragon style," home in Oslo where generations of the same family have lived for more than a 100 years.

Traveling to different home trade shows is a big part of my job, and sometimes it's hard for me to fully turn my editor brain off after a day of scouting new products and design trends. The fallout?

Budget shouldn't mean boring, and sometimes, all it takes to totally flip the vibe of your space is a sneaky little upgrade that looks ridiculously expensive (but totally isn't). We're talking about genius fixes for droopy couches, must-have kitchen hacks, and decor pieces that scream "I hired a designer" without leaving your wallet on life support. Whether you want to add some drama to your doorstep, organize your chaos, or bring full-on luxury spa energy to your bathroom,
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.
