Designing a kids’ room is no longer just about bold colors and whimsical decor. In 2026, such spaces are redesigned to combine functionality, imagination, and comfort; rooms that will be able to accompany a child through time in development and, at the same time, reflect their personality. I’ve noticed how quickly children’s needs shift; one…
Dining rooms have never been just mere eating places. They are the areas of a birthday party, areas where people socialize past the late hours, and where the family comes back together after a long day. In 2026, the dining room is taking on a new role. It will no longer just be a polite…
The home office is a room that has crept out of the shadows to emerge as one of the most vital parts of our homes. It began as an emergency solution during the pandemic, but has become a permanent feature of everyday life. And in 2026, the way we design these spaces is shifting again,…
Outdoor spaces have never been as important as they are now. They’re not just patios or backyards anymore; instead, an expansion of the home environment where we socialize, reequilibrate, and reconnect with the outdoors. When I started updating my own patio, I didn’t expect small tweaks like defining zones or adding durable seating would change…
Bedrooms are very intimate. They are our place of wake up and sleep, rest, and rejuvenation and even our means of escape into what we call a normal life.

If the heart of a home is a kitchen, then the living room is its soul. It is the place where we relax after working days, meet our family and a bunch of friends. But, this area has transformed over the years; a classy formal parlor has been converted to all-purpose room where you can…

When I first started decorating my own living room, I thought “pro styling” meant dropping thousands on designer furniture and endless accessories. But the more time I spent experimenting and honestly, rearranging the same couch five times I realized the secret wasn’t in buying more, it was in using what I had smarter. The truth…
When I first moved into a small apartment, I thought the only way to make it feel bigger was to dream about a larger place. But over time, I realized the walls weren’t the problem, but the way I was using the space was. A mirror across from a window doubled the light, a new…
