    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.

When designing a lake house, it is best to connect with nature—not compete with it. "In everything we did, we tried to enhance the beautiful surroundings and keep all eyes on the view," says Atlanta designer Yvonne McFadden, who worked on this house with architect Keith Summerour. Comfort and practicality were also key. "The clients wanted space to host at least 12 of their friends and family," she says. Their design combines an airy, open floor plan (including a wall of windows that faces the water) with a rich mix of natural materials for a space that marries function and style.

Tucked between the refrigerator and freezer is a bar area used for preparing coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The upper cabinet stores glasses and stemware.

The range hood was given the same soft gray tongue-and-groove shiplap treatment as the walls for a seamless look. "We wanted unobstructed views to keep the eye going," says Yvonne.

In keeping with the clean, linear look of the walls, Yvonne chose minimalist, 2-inch-thick wood shelves and painted them the same color as the walls. "It feels more casual," she says.

Instead of a stain, Yvonne used only a matte polyurethane to finish the reclaimed white oak island. "I wanted it to look as natural as possible," she says.

  • Deep Seating Durable taupe leather cushions soften the metal Klismos Luxe chairs by Restoration Hardware (rh.com). The curved legs and backs mimic the shape of the light fixture above.
  • Trestle Table Yvonne designed the dining table with entertaining in mind. Made from quarter-sawn reclaimed white oak, the table is 11 feet long to seat at least 10.
  • Wall of Windows At 8 feet tall, the mahogany-framed windows and transoms give the space the feeling of an old porch that has been enclosed.
  • Large-Scale Lighting An iron chandelier, designed by Yvonne, provides ambience but doesn't obstruct the view. The simple iron arms match the relaxed feel of the room.
  • Exposed Beams Rustic wood on the ceiling echoes the antique heart-pine floors below and also counterbalances the tailored look of the light gray-painted shiplap walls.

Designer's Advice: Yvonne McFadden

Designer's Advice: Yvonne McFadden

  • What Gives a New Kitchen Old Soul? Integrating reclaimed materials and found objects into your design.
  • Upper Cabinets—Do or Don't? I say don't. Going without them creates a more laid-back feel.
  • Easiest Quick Fix: Update the hardware. It's something simple you can do in only an afternoon, but it has such a major impact.
  • Best Kitchen Splurge: A faucet can be like a piece of statement jewelry. I love the Kallista For Town faucet, designed by Michael S. Smith.
  • Biggest Design Myth: That white kitchens go out of style. I believe they're timeless.
  • Favorite Kitchen Trend: Trends are a big no-no for me. I like to keep the look classic.
  • A Kitchen Isn't Complete Without... Potted herbs. They smell fresh and clean, and you can cut from them while cooking!
