“We recommend that you primarily design for your lifestyle,” says Alexandra Davin, co-founder of Clairrow. “Think about the space and how you’d truly like to use it. Do you want to nap on a comfy sofa with outdoor cushions? Or would you prefer a table and chairs so you can dine al fresco?” Because there are so many different patio furniture designs out there, it can be difficult to decide which options are durable, stylish, and worth the money....

The best vacuums can help you stay on top of the debris that will otherwise accumulate on your floors. Instead of buying a model that gets clogged with pet hair or struggles to pick up crumbs from your hardwood floors, buying a vacuum that’s been vetted by an expert ensures you get an effective and long-lasting machine. “Effective vacuuming removes and retains grit, soil, and dust, reduces inhaling potentially harmful airborne particles, and lowers the risk of fire from dust buildup in your electronics and other devices,” says Allen Rathey, director of the Indoor Health Council....

“Carpet can be a great investment and really enhance a space if done right,” says Cameron Johnson, Founder & CEO of Nickson Living. The best carpets are available in an array of styles and materials, such as nylon, polyester, wool, or cotton. You can also get them in a vast selection of colors and patterns too, making it easy to truly personalize your space. However, not all carpet is created equally, and since it fills such a large surface area in your home, it’s important to evaluate which carpet is best for your needs....

Start by determining if floors, countertops, tiles, and other permanent finishes are warm (cream, yellow, red undertones) or cool (gray, blue, green undertones). It’s natural to let that color temperature drive your overall scheme. If your personal preference contradicts that direction, though, never fear! Go ahead and listen to your heart. You can also carefully blend color temperatures to keep a space from feeling too warm or cold. And if you’re looking for the perfect balance between gray and beige, greige hues are game-changing tones that play well with any palette....

That simple ingredient is—wait for it—pepperoni, which we consider way more than a pizza topping. This Italian salami, made of pork and beef, is generously seasoned with black and red pepper, so it’s no surprise it lends a punch of flavor to a Thanksgiving turkey (which, let’s face it, has a tendency to be dry and bland). And when pepperoni meets butter in the food processor and then gets slathered under the turkey skin to add flavor and improve texture for a very juicy turkey…it’s magic!...

The good news is that this is your first apartment and your first time picking these items out for yourself—and it’s practically guaranteed that it won’t be your last time, so every decision doesn’t have to mean a lifelong commitment to a mattress, a duvet insert, or an adorable loveseat that fits perfectly in a small apartment or starter home. The key is to balance getting everything you need on the first apartment checklist with prioritizing the splurges that are most important to you....

What is fatty fish? The American Heart Association recommends eating two (3.5 ounces, cooked) servings of fatty fish per week. Fatty fish include salmon, albacore tuna (the canned stuff), mackerel, herring, lake trout, and sardines.

Not only do omega-3s lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, they are also vital for brain health....

As popular as the regular fiddle-leaf fig trees have been, “not everyone has space for a big hulking tree in their home,” says Justin Hancock of Costa Farms.

Wherever you place it, Little Fiddle will complement most home decor styles....

The pantry was large, but it was underperforming and needed a specific organizational system. When full, the shelves were messy and visually overwhelming. A U-shaped layout created wasted space in the corners. The pantry’s most notable feature was its potential.
