    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

It's easy to overlook trim paint colors, because they're often just a minor detail when designing a room. However, we're here to give trim paint colors the recognition that they deserve. Trim colors can certainly define a room by accenting key features within your space. Although trim colors are predominately made up variations of white, we ventured into gray and tan undertones to create dimension against your beige walls. The question still remains on how can you achieve a harmonious look between a beige room and a trim? Have no fear, you don't have to hold up countless paint swatches to decide the best color for your trim. We curated the best white paint colors, along with some bold colors to make your trim stand out. We have everything from bright whites to warm whites that allow your beige walls to live in complete unity with your seamless trim. Prep and sand those baseboards and prepare to fall in love with the perfect trim color.
