The Secret to Making Fake Plants Look Real, According to a Stylist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I need to confess something that may be controversial in design circles: I love fake plants. Listen, I adore real greenery. Nothing is better than walking into a room with a thriving fiddle-leaf fig or a gorgeous vase of fresh branches. (I’ve seen our former style director Robert Rufino do legitimately magical things with an $8 bouquet of Trader Joe’s flowers.) But I also know myself. I know my schedule, and I know that if a plant requires more than occasional primping and watering, we have a pr
I’m a Design Editor, and These 5 Airbnb Details Always Make or Break a Stay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a design editor, I've learned that the best Airbnbs aren't always the most expensive—they're the ones that feel thoughtfully designed and genuinely well-maintained.

Welcome to Archive Dive—my new excuse to obsess over the absolute treasures hiding in House Beautiful’s 130-year-old archives. Every month, we’ll dig up a favorite story from the past (epic room makeovers, wildly bold design swings, and style moments that were way ahead of their time) and talk about why they still resonate today. It’s part history lesson, part design deep-dive, and 100 percent a love letter to the iconic taste that’s defined HB for over a century. —Jo Saltz, House Beautiful Edit
