If you are a book lover, if you read a lot and have many books at home or just have some books you want to be stored and organized, this roundup is for you as we’ve gathered the coolest and smartest ways to store books even in the smallest nooks. These ideas are very functional and you will either use the space that seemed dead or get a double function piece, take a look! Awkward Nooks An awkward nook or a dead space in your home can become a real reading nook. All you need to do is to hang some shelves in that space and place your books. Carefully calculate the size and shape of the shelves to make the nook comfortable, especially if it’s a place behind a door (it should still open) or a space in your way where you go every day. A nice way to store books is to attach some shelves over a radiator, so you will hide it in sight and will get a warm nook for reading. If it’s a nook, add a chair and enjoy!

If you have a small entryway and it seems to have no space for storage, this roundup is for you as we’ve gathered the smartest ideas to store shoes in entryways, whatever the style and amount of space is, dive in! Benches If you have a bench in your entryway, don’t hesitate to use it for shoe storage, and the easiest way is to place your shoes under it. If such a way seems to cluttering for you, insert some baskets or boxes to make the shoes unseen. One more idea is a bench with ready storage compartments that look sleek, and this is a ready piece for decluttering any space. Advantages: functional piece, bench and storage in one. No special furniture needed, you can just place shoes underneath.

Ever scroll through your camera roll and think, “Wow, I never actually look at these”? Same here. That’s why I love photo holders. They’re small, easy to switch up, and a fun way to keep special moments front and center. Plus, they can double as seasonal decor or thoughtful gifts. This time, I went all out and made a photo holder shaped like a house, complete with little windows for candles. It turned out both cozy and sentimental—perfect for my dad, who’s all about family and the idea of home. Here’s how you can make one too—and yes, I’ll spill the details on what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently next time! Why This Project Is Special Okay, quick backstory: My family has this tradition where we give photo holders instead of cards on special occasions. They’re personalized, and you can add a photo or a memory that means something. For my dad’s gift, I wanted to go big—something symbolic. A house felt perfect because, let’s face it, “home” is where all our best memories are made. I also wanted it to have a touch of elegance to match his classic-style decor. Enter: cement and gold leaf. But let me warn...

This year, I decided to take a completely different approach to decorating my Christmas tree—no traditional ornaments, no same-old, same-old baubles. Instead, I went all-in on a trendy idea I stumbled upon: decorating with a big, beautiful bow! Lucky for me, I already had a long strip of pink tulle at home—a leftover from making my daughter’s skirt. Talk about a budget-friendly win! The result? A dreamy, pink-toned Christmas tree that feels delicate and airy. But, oh, the drama at home! My son wasn’t thrilled about the “girly” theme and declared the tree too feminine. Thankfully, my daughter was all for it, so we struck a deal—I promised him next year’s tree would have a boyish vibe. With that compromise sorted, I dove headfirst into this pink bow adventure. The Game Plan for Bow-Magic Make a stunning oversized bow. Craft lots of smaller bows for balance. Spruce up the tree base. Add those finishing touches around the tree. How To Make The Show-Stopping Big Bow For the centerpiece, I used tulle—a...

Whether you are styling a room with low ceilings or even a basement, you might use some tips that will help you make the room look taller. Walls And Ceilings Opt For A Single Color One continuous shade will create a feeling or flow and will make your space look larger, if you use the color from floor to ceiling. This color can be white as it’s very serene and beautiful and will also reflect the light creating an illusion of not only height but also larger space. Avoid creating any horizontal boundaries and lines on the whole, they will visually shorten the room, this goes, first of all, to the molding.

If your living room is big enough  for creating a whole conversation pit, you might be wondering how to mix and match all the seating furniture here, and most of all, how to mix and match your sofas. As we are living in the era of eclectic and maximalist designs, choosing mix and match furniture is a common idea that will make your space more eye-catching. Here are some ideas to do that with style. Tie Them Up Before you choose the sofas, you need to decide how to tie them up. There should be at least one feature that will make them look nice together, that can be style, shape, color or upholstery. Sometimes the couches seem absolutely different but if they both match the style of the room, it’s fine.

Every year, I get a little too excited about decorating for Christmas. Not just the main tree in the living room – oh no, I have to decorate the smaller tree on my kitchen counter too. This year, I decided to take a different route and make natural ornaments with a mix of dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and little rustic touches. The goal? A cozy kitchen filled with holiday vibes and that amazing smell of citrus and spice. Spoiler: I absolutely nailed it. Why Go Natural for Christmas Decor? Honestly, I love the idea of sustainable and budget-friendly decor. Plus, natural materials add warmth that store-bought plastic ornaments just can’t pull off. And, okay – it’s trendy too. Pinterest made me do it. The kitchen tree especially deserved something charming, simple, and scented. Using dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and a few other bits and bobs I had lying around, I ended up making ornaments that scream rustic Christmas magic without spending a ton. What I Used 2 fresh oranges (for drying – more on that in a second) Cinnamon sticks Star anise (those little spice stars look gorgeous) Sprigs of greenery (just clip a few from your tree or grab a cheap garland) Wooden beads (optional, but they...

2025 is coming and if you feel like adding something fresh to your interiors, you can go for trendy decor or some edgy colors, and this roundup is about the latter. So what are the main color trend predictions for 2025? Jewel tones, black, earthy shades, color drenched rooms and pattern, though it’s not exactly about color, we decided to include it, too. Let’s dive in! Earthy Colors Earthy colors were, are and will be with us for a long time as they are beautiful and soothing and can be applied to literally any room or interior. This year they are going a bit deeper, moodier and paler, not as saturated and bright as we used to see them. Deep tones of brown, rust, terracotta, mauve and burnt orange, dark greys and beige and taupe are welcome to give your home a very natural and sophisticated look.

When winter hits, I look for any excuse to get creative indoors—especially with my son. Last year, we tackled two crafts that turned out so cute, I couldn’t not share them. First, we made simple mini Christmas trees out of pinecones. Then, we used some of those to build a cozy winter arrangement with a rustic twist, featuring a piece of driftwood as the base. These crafts were easy, fun, and looked surprisingly cute by the end. Perfect for adding a little winter magic to your home décor. Mini Pinecone Christmas Trees My son loves turning random finds into projects (thankfully, no rocks this time), so we figured we’d turn them into little trees. Here’s how we did it—and how you can too. Supplies You’ll Need: A few good pinecones (sturdy, not falling apart) Green acrylic paint White paint for a snow effect Wine corks for stands A hot glue gun or any strong glue Paintbrushes (small ones work best)

Texture in home decor is one of the major trends, a long-lasting one, that was and will be with us for a long time. This is one of the easiest ways to refresh your interior without breaking the bank and give it a new and fresh look, and here are the main ways to go. Textured Walls And Ceilings Making walls and ceilings textured might be the trickiest thing on the list but it’s worth it. What can you do? Choose or make textural walls: brick, concrete, stone, fabric, metal and other materials with texture are welcome. One more idea is applying wallpaper, to both walls or ceilings, and the most textural version of wallpaper is grasscloth. Limewashing walls is a popular idea today, and it’s not so difficult to do yourself. Making your ceiling textural will highlight it and you can be sure that you won’t see such things often.

I just couldn’t stop at the gray concrete trees or even the white cement ones with wire accents. This project had me hooked, so I decided to take it a step further. These mini trees made from white cement with gorgeous gold accents are my latest creation, and I’m completely in love with how they turned out. They’re modern, chic, and surprisingly easy to make—no fancy tools or special skills needed! Plus, they’re perfect even for traditional festive arrangements. Bonus: they’re so much fun to create, even if you’ve never worked with concrete before! What You’ll Need Let’s start with the basics. Here’s everything I used to make these trees: White cement or premixed concrete (the white gives it a clean, modern vibe). Golden pot leaf (a.k.a., thin metallic foil) for those luxe accents. PVA glue (yep, the same stuff your kids might use for crafts). A sturdy sheet of cardboard (for the mold). Water and a mixing bucket (nothing fancy, just an old plastic container works). A spatula or scraper for mixing and spreading. A sponge for applying the glue and foil. Optional: vegetable oil to make removing the mold easier. It’s DIY magic on a budget!

Sometimes small things have a big impact, and when we speak of home decor, this is about accents. You can accent your room with various textiles, artwork, figurines and many other small things that seem not to matter but they really do. Today’s roundup is dedicated to such items, too, and these are colorful pillows that will help you create an ambience, set up a mood or infuse the space with colors. Where To Rock Colorful Pillows? Colorful pillows will be great everywhere, from a living room to a dining nook, from an entryway to a bedroom and so on, and the style of the space really doesn’t matter as color is good everywhere. If we take bold eclectic and dopamine decor spaces, you can add even more color and print to it using pillows, and if you have a neutral room, you can easily infuse it with a bit of color, in this case you’ll need something else to support the shades you are introducing.

Looking to add a cozy, natural vibe to your Christmas decor without all the glitter and gold? Let me tell you about these adorable DIY Christmas trees made from toilet paper rolls. They’re simple, budget-friendly, and perfect for anyone who loves a rustic, woodland theme. Bonus? The kids can help too, making it a fun family craft! Last year, we made little cardboard houses with tea lights for our holiday setup. This year, I wanted to add something to them while keeping that same natural, handmade feel of the arrangement. So, I came up with these cute trees, and they fit perfectly with branches, wood slices, and pinecones. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to turn out this good! What You’ll Need Toilet paper rolls (finally, a reason to save those!)

Yes, you’re in the right place if you’re looking for a DIY Christmas decor project that’s simple, stylish, and just a little industrial. These little concrete-and-wire Christmas trees are my latest obsession, and trust me, they’re ridiculously easy to make. Plus, they’re a great way to flex those crafting muscles without needing fancy tools or advanced skills. If I can do it, you can too. Why Concrete Christmas Trees? Okay, let me back up for a second. I’ve been on a bit of a concrete kick lately. Maybe it’s because I love how raw and sturdy it looks, or maybe it’s because I’ve always wanted my holiday decor to have that cool, modern vibe. Either way, this isn’t my first concrete rodeo. Last week I’ve made some basic concrete cone Christmas trees, but I wanted to step it up a notch with color and personality. That’s where the wire came in. Combining concrete’s industrial feel with bright, colorful wire felt like the perfect balance between modern and festive. And you know what? It worked. These trees are small, chic, and surprisingly versatile. Stick them on your mantel, cluster them on a coffee table, or use them as centerpieces—they’ll look good...

Besides indoor decor that we are all thinking about, there’s outdoors that we might forget. Need to add some holiday touches to your porch? No problem! Today’s roundup will show you how to pull off modern Christmas porch decor to make your entrance stylish and inviting, take a look! Colors If you already have some color in the porch, the best idea will be to stick to this color scheme. If not, then consider that modern decor is mostly about neutrals like usual and flocked evergreens, white, creamy, grey or even black, and you can spruce up the look with a touch of shine. Skip too bright colors or prints, they won’t look modern, and if you have a monochromatic space, stick to black and white to continue with the colors.
