1. Incorporating Hygge Into Your Home
Have you heard of “hygge” before? This Danish concept of coziness has become a trend in households during the cooler weather. The idea is to make your home as comfortable and warm as possible by using oversized blankets, throw pillows and minimalist décor. Read more about how you can get the look in Incorporating Hygge Into Your Home.
2. Popular Paint Colors To Help You Sell Your House
If you’re thinking about selling your house in the new year, or just want to freshen up your home for the holidays, you might want to consider painting. It’s an easy way to get a new style for any room.
“Homeowners looking to sell should stay away from dark, deep or bold colors such as reds, dark browns, oranges, golds or any neon colors,” Tina Nokes, owner of Five Star Painting of Loudoun and Western Fairfax VA.

4. Tile Ideas For A Small Bathroom
Most bathrooms include tile. Why? Tile is mildew-resistant and easy to clean, making it a great choice for this moist environment.

You might be surprised to see new trends, like faux wood tiles and floral bathroom tiles make the list as popular options for small bathrooms. Read Tile Ideas For A Small Bathrooms for more.
5. Decorate Your Fireplace For The Holidays
As the song goes, “there’s no place like home for the holidays!” And while true, I think there’s no place quite like a well-decorated home for the holidays. While many choose to focus on the Christmas tree, it’s important to highlight other focal points, like the mantel.
“One of the things I always consider when decorating the mantel is balance. I really love finding a unique piece to place on or hang above the mantel,” Ashley Dudich, shop owner and home blogger at All The Design, said.
