This spring cleaning season, there’s a lot more than just decluttering at stake — a clean home could be your last line of defense against a coronavirus (COVID-19) infection.

The classic kitchen is evolving, designer Matthew Quinn says, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Modern traits have emerged, but elegant bones remain at the forefront—and that’s why the shift feels natural, welcome. The best of what we’ve always loved is still here, gorgeous as ever.

Don't let clutter and disorganization take over your bathroom. Check out these bathroom storage ideas that combine functionality with high-end style.
