A bad smell kept returning in a first-floor condo bathroom even after the most obvious source seemed fixed. The shower drain had produced a strong sewer odor, but cleaning it only solved part of the problem. What remained followed a much more specific pattern. About 15 to 30 seconds after the toilet bowl emptied, the...

Hanging racks above kitchen islands have long provided a place for pots and pans that would otherwise fill cabinets and drawers. Hooks underneath keep cookware within reach, while the open framework puts unused ceiling space to work. Alex Snyder’s kitchen takes the same overhead-storage idea in another direction. Snyder shared the setup with the Facebook...

Sofas, beds, cabinets, and dining tables establish how a room functions, yet size does not guarantee that they will be the first things you notice. In these interiors, smaller pieces pull attention through color, shape, scale, reflection, or material. A red pillow changes a dark leather chair. Tall mirrors turn empty wall space into part...

Dining tables often come with an expected formula: one chair repeated around every side. These dining setups break that formula with benches, upholstered armchairs, woven frames, high backs, and mixed chair shapes. Changing the seating also changes how the table occupies the room. Benches keep one side open, large upholstered chairs give each place more...

The sharp lines of a square stainless steel sink can make it an appealing choice during a kitchen remodel. Once dishes, food scraps, and water start moving through the basin, those same lines can create extra work. After finishing a remodel, Reddit user u/Traditional_Code_711 liked the look of the new undermount sink but soon regretted...

Two 3/4-inch project panels left from another project gave her enough material for a thicker wood surface without buying a new slab. She stacked the matching 24-by-48-inch panels and joined them face-to-face, creating a top 1 1/2 inches thick. The method depends on more than adding glue between two boards. The edges need to line...

A plain faux pumpkin does not need to stay intact to work as fall decor.

Many kitchen remodels start with demolition. This one started with paint.

September is when many gardens start looking untidy. Petals drop, flower heads turn brown, and stems that looked good in July can seem like the first things that should go when fall cleanup begins. That instinct can work against the garden. Some of those faded flowers are holding seeds that birds can use, while standing...

Two-toned kitchens do not have to follow the familiar formula of one cabinet color above the counter and another below it. Contrast can come from painted cabinetry paired with wood, a dark island against a pale cabinet wall, or a separate work zone finished in a different material.

Tall blue-green plants stay inside the black porch urns as fall color moves in around their bases.

Without a window to bring color into the room, this bathroom uses tile, wood, and terrazzo to divide a long, narrow footprint.

Bare walls and a salt-damaged concrete floor left this two-car garage with little beyond parking space.

Finding the range hood used to take one glance. Look above the stove for a stainless steel canopy, chimney, or vent tucked beneath the cabinets. That shortcut stops working in these kitchens.

Open wall space above a vanity, console, or fireplace often gets filled with framed prints, paintings, or a cluster of smaller objects.

Most rooms treat lighting and furniture as two separate decisions. Choose the bed, cabinets, shelves, or vanity first, then find fixtures to light the space around them.

Bathrooms can end up covered in hard surfaces from one side of the room to the other.
