    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.

Open Kitchen with Shiplap Walls

Tailored shiplap walls made of paint-grade wood contrast with the rough-hewn floors and ceiling. The wall’s subtle hue (Lambswool by Pratt & Lambert) keeps the space feeling both casual and antique.

The homeowner discovered a gold mine of shiplap walls under layers of wood paneling and wallpaper. She kept them simple with a coat of white paint trimmed in a warm putty color (White Heron and Sticks & Stones by Sherwin-Williams).

Keeping the shiplap walls a subtle shade (Manchester Tan by Benjamin Moore) doesn’t draw attention away from the beautiful millwork and natural logs.

Shiplap Under the Stairs

The lost space under the stairs is reclaimed into a cozy nook with the addition of shiplap walls in a warm and inviting hue. We love that the shiplap is continued onto the underside of the staircase. The upholstered chair paired with a vintage chest makes the space a true landing spot.

The entire kitchen, including the refrigerator and freezer, are clad in shiplap. Continuing the cohesive look to include these large appliances keeps them from becoming too dominant in the room.

Shiplap walls provide a rustic backdrop for a gallery wall. To create a similar look, start by hanging two or three larger pieces along the wall, and then fill in with smaller ones. Mix the subject matter and frame styles for more interest.

When it came time for the homeowners to restore the kitchen in this circa 1856 cabin, they decided to finish out the kitchen with shiplap wood painted a rich neutral (Manchester Tan by Benjamin Moore) rather than trying to match the 150-year-old chinked log walls.

Charleston Historic Shiplap Kitchen

The homeowners wanted their kitchen to look as if it had been added on in the early 20th century. That meant shiplap walls, no upper cabinets, mahogany countertops, and unlacquered brass hardware. They either hid appliances, such as the refrigerator, or chose versions that had a vintage vibe. With its creamy finish and brass accents, you would think at first glance that the range was from decades ago.

White tile and walls can make for a clean look. However, a flood of white can leave something to be desired. Here, shiplap walls and small-scale striped rugs add interest to the predominantly white room.

When renovating and updating this Atlanta home, designer Suzanne Kasler left the original brick floor in the entry and added shiplap paneling to the walls. “It really changed everything and added an architectural element,” she says. Classic white walls (Linen White by Benjamin Moore) contrast with the rustic feel of the floors.

In this Low Country home shiplap blends with the coastal decor, proving to be a bit of a chameleon. The stunning views remain the focal point in the space with walls that act as a simply clad frame for the gorgeous surroundings.
