Rugs are a great way to energize a kitchen! Whether you’re looking to add a finishing touch to a newly renovated kitchen, or you’re simply looking to add a splash of color, a rug is a low-lift hero. Materials like natural fibers, wool, or Turkish kilims are on trend this year, along with bright fuchsias and jewel tones. A vibrant rug provides a color palette for a wide array of accessories to result in a room that feels collected rather than chaotic.

Organizing every room can feel like a mountain to climb, but with the right strategy and home-organizing ideas from the experts, it quickly becomes achievable. Here are some tips:

1. Focus On One Room At A Time
Start small and focus on one area, work on it and complete it, then stop

2. Group Like-With-Like
Designating an area for sleeping, dressing, putting makeup on and so on gives structure and creates a nice sense of flow to the room, plus you’ll have a clear idea of what needs to go where.

3. Be Savvy With Where You Store Things
Prioritizing access to items you use most is rule number one when deciding what goes where.

4. Keep Kitchen Countertops Clear
Dividers will quickly become your best friend, particularly when it comes to organizing kitchen drawers.

Come January, staying indoors can feel less like a treat and more like you're living in a cave. Here's how to make your house lighter, brighter, and cheerier with more natural light!
--Try taking the screens off your windows. You'll get 30% more sunlight shining indoors. Here's the best part: Sunlight warms your room and saves you money on your heating bill.
--Change your bulbs. Replace those incandescent bulbs and their yellowy light with LEDs, which produce a brighter, whiter light.
--Hang mirrors. Make the most of that weak winter light by bouncing it around the room with mirrors.
