When you walk into Trader Joe’s and are greeted with bouquets of colorful tulips and aisles of lemon-flavored goodies, that’s how you know spring is upon us. With its rotating selection of seasonal products, TJ’s has become a harbinger of the changing seasons. The weather might still be flip-flopping between blustery cold temps and random warm days (at least here in the Midwest), but with a quick trip to Trader Joe’s, you can fully embrace all the spring vibes.

When I’m itching to give my home a fresh look, my mind immediately goes to big-ticket updates like buying new furniture or installing new light fixtures. I’ll dive headfirst into fantasizing about all the changes I want to make, but when I actually start shopping around for those things, the sticker shock shuts down that line of thinking real quick.

You know that first warm, sunny day of the year when you throw open all the windows and everything feels fresh and new again for the first time in what seems like forever? I want to infuse that energy into every room of my home this time of year. This season always makes me feel reenergized and excited about home projects again, and this spring, the first thing on my to-do list is my bedroom.

The correlation between the weather outside and my willingness to spend money is a scientific phenomenon that really should be studied. Throughout the months of January and February, I’m hunkered down inside, just trying to stay warm and recover from my annual holiday spending hangover. But once March rolls around and the outside world finally starts to thaw out, suddenly both I and my wallet are ready to come out of hibernation.

Once upon a time, if you had asked me what my favorite food was, I likely would have waffled between classics like pizza or tacos. But these days, it is undoubtedly some sort of grain bowl situation. Almost every week without fail, I will meal prep a few different ingredients and toppings to load up into a bowl, and it always hits. I’m convinced that almost any dish tastes better in bowl form.

I am perpetually jealous of people who can fall asleep anytime, anyplace. I struggle to fall asleep anywhere that isn’t my own bed, so long overnight flights are basically my personal form of purgatory. Ahead of a recent trip to Europe, I was seriously dreading the nine-hour flight there and back, so I made it my mission to gather all the long-flight essentials I would need to make the journey not totally suck.

Clutter is not generally seen as a good thing. It’s the unnecessary junk that crowds up surfaces and makes your home feel cramped and messy. But there’s a recent trend going around that attempts to reframe that narrative. As it turns out, clutter doesn’t necessarily equal mess, and it might just be the secret to the thoughtfully styled home you’ve always dreamed of. You know how Nancy Meyers’s movie interiors always look effortlessly cozy and lived-in?

As a home editor, I spend a good chunk of my work days looking at beautifully designed homes filled with custom furniture and high-end decor. But when it comes to my own home, I definitely don’t have the budget to hire a big-name designer or spend a small fortune decorating each room. I have what you might describe as an interior designer’s taste on a DIYer’s budget, which means I’m always on the lookout for ways to achieve that high-end look for less.

Haters might argue that Valentine’s Day is a pointless holiday made up by the greeting card companies, but I like to think of it as an excuse to eat as much chocolate as you want and shower your loved ones (besties included) with affection. What’s not to love? If you’re similarly ready to embrace all things pink, red, and heart-shaped, you’re going to want to stop by your local Trader Joe’s ahead of Valentine’s Day.

If I had to pick one word to sum up the current slate of interior design trends, it would be bold. I think more people are starting to see their homes as places of joy and expression and making design choices with that in mind. This new, more daring direction is especially evident in one of the biggest trends sweeping the internet lately: color drenching. This trend encourages going all-in on color from floor to ceiling, creating a bold, immersive feel.
