As a home chef, a bright kitchen is a must. The problem is that I only have one large light fixture in my kitchen, and it's nowhere near big or bright enough to hit the most important spaces, like near my stove or under my kitchen cabinets. You can imagine how difficult it makes cutting and prepping my meals. I talked my husband out of forking over a large amount of money for a new fixture so we could try DiDiSky's Under-Cabinet Light duo instead, and they were by far the easiest and most impactful home upgrade we’ve made to date.

I Bought These Under-Cabinet Lights for Our Dark Kitchen, and Now They're in Almost Every Room

Raise your hand if you’ve got a pizza stashed in your freezer right now. Me too. And as someone who lives in “the best pizza neighborhood in New York,” that’s saying a lot. I mean I could easily pick up a fresh slice (or have one delivered) faster than I could preheat my oven.

The bathroom is a room that most people can agree is better with more space. However, adding more square feet to a small bathroom can be complicated and costly. If you're looking for ways to make your cramped bathroom feel more spacious on a budget, there is an easy and affordable solution. All you need is a shower curtain and a rod!

I’ve always had a thing for houseplants and apartment gardening. Currently I have around two-dozen plants and a Lettuce Grow farmstand inside, plus another 15 plants, including a potted lemon tree and guava tree, on my balcony. After a lot of trial and error (RIP to several fiddle leaf fig trees), I feel like I’ve finally mastered the art of keeping most of them alive. But lately it feels like we all might be overdoing it in the plant department.

The Halloween spirit is finally wafting through the air, and retailers have begun to debut fall and Halloween collections, including Pottery Barn, which just dropped its line of plush and incredibly popular Halloween pillows for yet another year. And when I say these pillows are popular, I mean they’re going to go quick if you don’t act fast. It’s actually hard to get your hands on some of these now-iconic Halloween finds because they just can’t seem to stay in stock.

When you step into a kitchen, it takes just one look at the cabinets for you to decide whether or not the space is dated — oftentimes you can even guess when it was last renovated. Just like everything in interior design, kitchen cabinet color trends are changing all the time. You should always, first and foremost, choose what you love, but if you’re stuck between a few directions, renovating a rental property, or just love design, it’s helpful to have a reference. Consider this yours, thanks to a handful of kitchen design experts I had the pleasure of chatting with.
