The owners of this 1970s London home transformed their property with an impeccable design eye and cool 1980s finds — and that includes their slick and streamlined new kitchen. “It’s quite an unusual house, but they’ve made it beautiful,” says Helen Munro of Finch London, who was brought on board to redo the kitchen. “The couple were pretty clear about what they wanted from their kitchen, and that was clean lines and superb functionality.”

Interior set design has played a leading role in series TV since ... well, always. What upscale urbanites didn't lust after Lucy and Ricky Ricardo's swank Manhattan pad at 623 East 68th Street (which would actually place it in the East River) or shudder at the grim tenement one-bedroom of Ralph and Alice Kramden? And how many Americans were immune to the gaudy glamour of the Denver estate of the Carrington clan in "Dynasty" or the compound of the rascally Ewings in (of course) "Dallas"?

Interior design colleges do their very best to teach you how to design and how to perform the technical parts of the business. Please do not think I am knocking them at all. They have limited time in their curriculums, and it is impossible to teach you everything you need to know because they are focused on design vs. the business of design.

Ten billion: That's the number of videos people watch on Snapchat every day. The same potential consumption (maybe more) exists for Instagram Stories – quick videos and photos that disappear after 24 hours, just like Snapchat, but with an audience of 500 million users. Does that sound like a channel worth exploring?

The wide acceptance of Internet purchasing has opened up new markets for companies abroad looking to sell to designers in the United States. While many products are available from distributors and suppliers licensed in the U.S., purchasing directly from the manufacturer or factory eliminates the middleman, which may result in substantial savings. I stress “may” because the total cost to procure the product could be much higher, depending on what and how you purchase.

As the new Student Pavilion rises on Arizona State University's Tempe campus, it is being touted for its green qualities.

It also will be ASU's first "net zero energy building," meaning it will use no more energy than can be produced on site annually.

The research also found that the size of American kitchens varies by geographic location, house size, and the number of stories in a home.

In its Survey of Construction (SOC), the U.S. Census Bureau publishes data on the number of bathrooms in new homes started. In the last several years, the share of new single-family homes with 3 or more full bathrooms has increased, which may reflect a move by builders to focus on higher-end, larger homes in the post-recession period.

When the renowned artist Donald Judd fled the crowded streets of New York for the stark desert landscapes of Marfa in the 1970s, few could have predicted the Texas town’s emergence as a destination for artists and aesthetes alike. But in the 40-some years since then, that’s just what Marfa has become.

When he realized the refrigerator at his tech startup was always being cleaned out by the same employee, a woman, Mike Subelsky told her to stop and took on the task himself. It was perhaps a small gesture to guard against workers falling into "traditional" male or female roles. But the founder of Staq hoped it would send a signal.

Nantucket isn't known for novelty. So when Greydon House, a 20-room luxury boutique hotel opened over the weekend, it was big news. Since new construction is tightly regulated on Nantucket (and knocking down anything that was on the island before 1950 is prohibited), the innovative design by Emeritus Development, with interiors by Roman and Williams, combines a former island doctor's office building built in 1850 with a new building.
