    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.

Completely renovating your kitchen is a time-intensive and expensive endeavor. But with a few smart tweaks, you can make your kitchen feel brand new for a fraction of the price of renovating. As Home Depot's Director of Trend & Design, Sarah Fishburne, puts it, "Sometimes all you need to improve a kitchen and to love it again is to improve the function of the kitchen. By organizing and making the kitchen function it will flow better. First go through all your gadgets and purge any that are falling apart and if you have duplications that you do not need."After that, Fishburne recommends spending some time relocating items in your kitchen to increase efficiency. "Ask yourself is something in the best location for where you need it, i.e., consider your coffee maker — where are the coffee mugs? This does not need to be all done overnight so pick the areas that give you the most headaches and start there," she says, (speaking of headaches, pots and pans, here we come). Ready to get started? Read on for our favorite Home Depot kitchen upgrade ideas, all for under $100.

Liberty Stainless Steel Bar Drawer Pull

We love this polished look, and the price tag to boot. "A quick and easy idea [to upgrade your kitchen is to] change out the hardware in the kitchen," notes Fishburne. "Sometimes the style or finish is dating the kitchen and switching them out will make it feel new and fresh. Only thing to keep in mind is you want to keep the knob or pull dimensions to match so you are not covering up or drilling holes."

Buy it: Liberty Stainless Steel Bar Drawer Pull; $6.10

One easy way to give your kitchen a mini makeover without braking the bank? Add a backsplash. "Many kitchens do not have a backsplash and putting one in makes a huge impact," says Fishburne. "This is also a DIY project many can tackle. I recommend using SimpleMat, which will cut down the time to of installing."
