Decorating the inside of your home for a particular season is a no-brainer. You want to be surrounded by little knick-knacks that remind you of the season and the nostalgia you have associated with it. The problem is: Only a specific amount of people (and perhaps your social media followers) are going to see these decorations. You want your home to look welcoming and festive from

“I like to make homes for people,” interior designer James Huniford says. “Not stage sets. I don’t look for ‘three ways to add a punch factor,’ but rather how can I make each room match how my clients want to live.” After rounding out a year where our homes have pulled double and even triple-duty, many of us are ready to overhaul everything. And Huniford, who goes by Ford, has gained a
Sutton Stracke is serious about design. She has two closets (and a boutique) filled with pieces from world-renowned designers, and she tapped an interior-design pro to spruce up her daughter Porter’s dorm room. And as we now know, Sutton’s fall decor is a pretty serious affair, too.
In a snap that seems to capture her on the stoop of her new home, the fashion plate — who just moved — posed against a backdrop of

Last week’s Google Home app update introduced a redesigned device settings menu. It was then available only for the Nest Hub Max and that too for limited users. According to 9to5Google, the new device settings menu in the Google Home app is now rolling out widely. Still, it is limited to the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max displays.
As of now, the other smart home devices from Google, like the Nest Mini and Nest
At its core, home decor should be a reflection of you—which is why having a go-to list of home decor ideas can be helpful for those always itching to redecorate. Sometimes, figuring out exactly how to spruce up your space—no matter if your budget is big or small—can be overwhelming. There are so many elements to decorating and so many different rooms to style. Even if you live in a small apartment and not
I’ve had the good fortune of interviewing a lot of cool people (so. many.) here at Clever, and I’ve seen my fair share of exciting collaborations. But when I got the email asking if I wanted to have a one-on-one Zoom call with the inimitable Dr. Jane Goodall, you could say I was thrilled—and a little surprised. It’s not often you get to interview the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees when you write about home

The original Try Street Terminal in downtown Pittsburgh served as a hub for shipping and manufacturing companies. Railway lines ran through the building, and trains could pull in to unload cargo. Constructed in 1921, the historic landmark has now been transformed into a vibrant residential community known as Terminal 21.
Strada LLC led the renovation project with a nod to preserving its heritage. The style
A few minutes into an episode of “Dream Home Makeover,” a home improvement series that recently premiered on Netflix, an anxious homeowner frets about a minor flaw in the family room fireplace, an asymmetry that the wife describes as “pretty dramatic.”
If you’ve watched enough home improvement television, you know this scene is meant to cue the eye rolls. But Shea McGee, the show’s perky co-star and the creative force behind the Salt Lake City
A Dallas man’s enthusiasm for Halloween has led to several visits from Texas police. And he seems pretty proud of it.
As pointed out by the Dallas Observer, artist Steven Novak has caused a bit of stir in his East Dallas neighborhood, where he used his creative skills to stage an elaborate murder scene in his front yard. The Halloween decorations include a bloody walkway, with multiple dummies laying facedown on the ground; one of
Feel free to go big and bold in these spaces.
There are plenty of reasons why homeowners shy away from big, bold décor, and lean into neutrals, instead. It’s understandable—it often takes a lot of space to pull off some of those over-the-top looks. And when you’re a design novice, deciding how and when to take the risk with a home decorating
When it comes to installing exterior trim over a rainscreen, penetrations are an area that you need to pay a little extra attention to. What we’re going to need to do is create an escutcheon block for each pipe or wire that exits the sheathing, but we need to provide solid backing for this to be affixed to—in this case we’re going to cut small pieces of our 1 x 3 strapping and install them
A gate at Fort Hood is set to be renamed in honor of a soldier who was murdered on post earlier this year.
Natalie Khawam, an attorney representing the family of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillen, said that she and members of Guillen’s family were traveling to meet with Foot Hood officials, including Lt. Gen. Pat White and Maj. Gen. John B. Richardson, at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday.

In this day and age, nobody needs to be reminded how vulnerable our planet has become. Fortunately, more and more professionals and homeowners are opting for ‘greener’ lifestyles to lessen our carbon footprint, including using more natural materials when it comes to architecture and interior design. Aside from being good for the environment, materials like bamboo and travertine (and wood, and leather, and iron, and rattan…) also add to a warm and cosy feel for
