Fashion Influencers Are Driving an Interiors Boom. How Are Home Brands Responding?

Gambar
Home is where the #content is — or so wrote Hilary George-Parkin in a 2017 Fashionista story titled, "Why Fashion Bloggers Are Evolving Into Home Decor Influencers." Three years later, may I ask: Why were once-strictly-fashion-adjacent influencers venturing into more home-furnished pastures?  George-Parkin's reporting is certainly worth revisiting in its own right, but for the interest of this piece, I'll say the gist was this: With the influencer class having, well, influenced our clothing and accessories to a certain degree of satisfaction, our homes became their next logical frontier with which to express their particular stamps of style. With the help of an affiliate link or 15, these professional tastemakers have come to establish themselves as bona fide interior connoisseurs. They've sold us squiggly mirrors, toadstool table lamps and so, so many candles molded in the shape of Venus de Milo. That I'm frequently moved to replace my couch — a very old, ver...

8 Great Porch Ideas For Your Home

Gambar
A porch is a great outdoor space that can be used for many things. In this article, we'll discuss porch ideas for your home to make the most of this space. Image via Isorepublic.com 1. Create a monochromatic, white porch… White is a classic color for a reason! A white porch looks clean, crisp, and inviting. To create this look, consider adding white furniture or white accent pieces, like planters on the ground, or throw pillows on the furniture. Keep in mind that white looks best when it contrasted with dark. If your house or patio furniture is dark, you can make everything else in the patio white. A clean, white look is great for a porch. 2. …Or a colored porch! Although a white porch is great, the same idea works the other way around. If your house is white, having a dark porch will look beautiful since it is a strong contrast. For example, if your house is white, consider using dark furniture, accents, or a dark mailbox. If you want to get more cr...

A portless iPhone will be a major shake-up for the smart home

Gambar
Apple's no stranger to stirring up controversy by removing ports before anyone else. Remember the uproar when the iPhone's headphone jack went away? Changes are bound to happen, but some decisions are just tougher to accept — leaving impressions so deep, that they're sometimes impossible to forget. Rumors are circulating about a future iPhone that will ditch ports entirely. If Apple decides to make a portless iPhone, it will be another controversial choice with broader ramifications in the world of consumer tech. In fact, it may well spur a shake-up within the smart home. Since wireless charging would be the only option for charging, more accessories and other smart tech gadgets would need to be able to accommodate this feature. These accessories might not be the dongles you're used to. They could come to other items in your home — items you don't normally associate with smart home technology.

Home Again Furniture Bank Begins Distribution of IKEA Donation

COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on one not-for-profit dedicated to providing good-quality furniture to people who need it the most. Home Again Furniture Bank rolled off its Blackmarsh Road lot today with the first truck full of furniture donated to the cause by IKEA Canada. Last year, Home Again made 400 deliveries throughout the northeast Avalon area, but #Snowmageddon and the pandemic created a serious disruption in their pickups and deliveries. No deliveries were made at all in April. Amy Tulk of Home Again Furniture Bank says it saddened her to think of the people who were going without some of the essentials many take for granted – like a bed. She recalls one incident involving the reaction of a man who received a twin bed after going for an extended time sleeping on the floor. She says many take a good night's sleep for granted and the man, who was six feet tall, told her he couldn't wait to go to sleep in his twin bed after months of sleeping on the...

What It̢۪s Like to Be a Medical Professional in a Nursing Home During a Pandemic

Gambar
"All we were trying to do was stop the spread of the virus," Kelly says. In her 20s, Kelly is an occupational therapist in a nursing home of approximately 300 residents in Staten Island, New York. From March, they created two COVID-19 units and during the peak of the virus, the nursing home was facing up to five deaths per day. Kelly tells me, "Every time I turned on the TV, it seemed nursing homes were being vilified. There was so much ridicule, but no aid or solutions to the conflict we were facing. The residents didn't go out -- the virus was brought to them. People on social media talked about residents as if they were meant to die as if they aren't human beings too." Inside the day-to-day of Kelly's new normal, this is what it's like to be a medical professional in a nursing home during a pandemic... Kelly's role as an occupational therapist changed drastically. Working with both long term and short term patients, an occupational thera...

Gambar
After 26 years in business, House of Kustom owners Joe and Tanya Plutt plan to close the doors of their popular College Road furniture store and retire at the end of the summer. The couple sat down in their sunny, spacious showroom Friday morning and reflected on their lives and what they've learned in more than a quarter of a century of small business ownership.   Joe was born in Fairbanks and Tanya came here with her family in 1961. The couple met through friends, attended the University of Alaska Fairbanks together and were married in the late 1970s. Joe worked in the retail grocery field and Tanya worked at Fairbanks Clinic before quitting to become a stay-at-home mother to their two sons. They purchased the store from former owners Jack and Kathy Pendley in 1994 after Joe decided it was time for a change.  "I thought at that time it would be nice to have my own ...

What Happened When the Office Came Home

Gambar
Since coronavirus lockdowns forced workers to take their jobs home, the home office has once again become a much-coveted feature of modern living. Before the pandemic, architect David Hart noticed a growing glimmer of interest in a somewhat unfashionable interior feature: the home office. Hart is the president and CEO of Steinberg Hart, a firm that designs large mixed-use apartment complexes in cities around the world, among other projects. His clients had lately been asking about reducing the size of closets and bathrooms in favor of creating a small nook or alcove that fits a desk. Pre-Covid-19, only 10% to 15% percent of the apartment units his firm was building had some type of dedicated office space. Going forward, he says, he expects that figure will be more like 75%. After fading in popularity since the 1990s, home offices have again become coveted real estate. Since coronavirus closed workplaces in cities nationwide, Americans' work habits and environments have ...
