Fun fact: Monochromatic doesn't have to mean black and white.

Picking a monochromatic color palette means committing to a single color, sure, but true color aficionados won’t shy away from that challenge. Use these monochromatic color schemes as inspiration for creating a single-hued space that feels personalized—just be sure to try before you

It's time to ditch these clutter-causing, grime-collecting items. Clear out your cabinets and drawers for a cleaner, more organized bathroom.

With all this activity comes clutter, and in a typically small room like the bathroom, you can't afford to waste space on items you don't need. Some of the most common culprits of bathroom clutter, such as expired medications and cosmetics, can even pose a hazard to your health.




Clearing out items that are past their prime or simply unnecessary will help you

Winter weather can be hard on driveways, railings, and fences. Check for loose railings around the house, but particularly those at stairs, which might have provided a bit more support than usual during slippery winter weather.

Similarly, evaluate driveways and sidewalks for any cracks and unevenness that could be tripping hazards. Also, look over fences to see if any repairs are necessary from things like snowblower impacts or a long season of wind blowing on old materials.

Well-maintained, high-quality carpet can add value to your home. Here's how to get your carpeting to stand out, according to experts.

When you're looking to sell your home, certain home improvements can potentially increase its resale value—a fresh coat of paint, kitchen and bathroom updates, and the floors, too.

While home decor trends are leaning more heavily toward hardwood floors over carpeting at the moment, the right kind of carpet and where you put it can make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

"I remember when I was selling real estate in the '80s and carpeting was the rage,"
