    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 no wonder greige has taken up reign in people's homes, from powder bathrooms to primary bedrooms. This soothing shade not only boasts the best of both worlds–the chicness of gray and the inviting warmth of beige–but also blends in seamlessly to any design style. It's as at-home in a modern farmhouse as it is in a cozy cottage. And for being one color, it can be pushed and pulled a variety of equally stunning directions—a hint of green in one paint, a hint of mauve in another. In the kitchen, a coat of greige paint on the cabinets offers an equally clean and serene alternative to popular all-white kitchens. In a bedroom, greige makes for a grounded, earthy retreat. And it's not just a good choice aesthetically. Experts report greige to be a paint color that can actually make your home sell faster. But with shades this good-looking, it may be hard to leave!
