    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.

Create a Cozy Fall Fireplace
Credit: The Frugal Homemaker / Pinterest

In the South, we love a well-styled and accessorized fireplace mantle. The more layers, the prettier the finished product. One of our favorite mantel decorating ideas is to layer varying sizes of framed or unframed art on the shelf. Though you don't always have to hang art, if you do, be aware of how high the frames are in your space. You can try placing artwork just a few inches above the mantel as a tip for the ideal height. Another fireplace mantel decorating idea is to place mirrors in various sizes and shapes to replace the standard single mirror. 

There are so many seasonal and festive fireplace mantel ideas that you can try out too. We have mantel decorating ideas for Christmas, but we don't forget the beautiful scenery changes in fall. Many of these autumn-inspired mantel decorations are a great way to cozy up to the fire on those chilly fall days. Before hanging up your decorating hat, don't forget about your outdoor fireplace because it deserves some love too. Here are some cozy ways to make any fireplace the room's focal point.

Embrace Fall Foliage

Take advantage of the seasonal foliage and incorporate it into your home decor. We love this elegantly-draped oak, magnolia leaves, and stacked pumpkins that complete the fall effect. Foraging for items outside might be the perfect way to find inspiration.

Lead with Pops of Color

Play Up Your Favorite Color, but Keep the Base Neutral

A neutral fireplace makes bright accessories pop when placed on the mantel. This option is a great way to display a themed collection or beautiful accessories too delicate for a high-trafficked entryway table. Use shades of color to add interest and cohesiveness to the room.

Try Laid-Back Looks

The simplicity of the black-and-white fireplace mantle, topped with a single large framed photo, complements the rest of the room's playful, relaxed aesthetic. Trying an uncluttered arrangement can bring serenity to the room and be a resting point for the eyes. Find something that brings you happiness and place it front in center, with no distractions.

Use Screens

​​​​​​​A white wicker screen matches the cottagey decor of this home's living room. It's both practical and stylish. Upcycling an outdoor screen can be a way to add character to a space usually deemed traditional.

Eclectic Experiment

Authentic Gas Fireplace

A ventless gas fireplace has an authentic feel with an Eldorado fireplace surround and a wood mantel. Instead of one large painting above the mantel, a group of framed and unframed pieces creates an eclectic display. Use this space to bundle coordinating artwork to create a treat that continues to surprise viewers.

This fireplace combines everything we love about the fall into one cohesive display. Stick with a color palette like this orange, white, and brown scheme to ensure all your decor is complementary. Fresh fall flowers, like mums, bring life to this display.

Embellish with Mirrors

An inexpensive honeycomb mirror hung over the mantle dresses up this fireplace with a unique style. Vintage or accent mirrors create a focal point to the room without taking up any space. Mirrors over the fireplace can also act as reflective tools to increase the perception of room size.

Find Antique Character

The distressed finish on this 19th-century relic lends historic character to the new wood-burning fireplace. Leaving original mantels incorporates the home's history into a new living space. When salvaging is possible, look to keep woodworking as authentic as possible.

Contrast Focal Points

Get Inspired by Art

A white brick fireplace provides the perfect backdrop for cheery pops of color. In this 1920s home renovation, though the seating faces away from the fireplace, it still commands attention as the space's focal point. As a blank canvas, the fireplace encourages seasonal changes based on your creative whims.

Above the mantel, this homeowner displays an ever-changing arrangement of artwork and accessories. An avid flea market and antique store shopper, as he finds new collectibles, he likes to bring them in as a quick way to change up the look.

​​​​​​​If your fireplace is not in use, turn it into the focal point of the room by filling it to the brim with logs or other statement pieces. This concept is simultaneously sleek and rustic. Using the fireplace for decor leaves the mantel available for collectibles, artwork, or other display pieces.

This carved antique mantle requires little dressing up. A fresh bouquet of seasonal flowers and a statement mirror that brings out the fireplace's gold accents will do the trick. The classic embellishments add a traditional character to your home that any renovation could not build.

When a home's fireplace layout contains asymmetrical surroundings, achieving formal symmetry can be intimidating. When surrounded by built-ins or walls, it's much easier to pull off, adding a calm balance to the room. The simple arrangement above this fireplace is clean and elegant.

The cast-stone fireplace, flanked by neutral shiplap, creates the perfect canvas for a standout decor piece. The casual setting around this special place in your home is worth a memorable mantel.
