Before you move to a new home, it’s wise to find out the age of things that have a fixed lifespan such as major appliances, HVAC systems, floor and window coverings and garage door openers.

When purchasing a new home or updating an existing one, fear of making trendy-now but obsolete-later choices can paralyze the non-designer. Aye believes that while there are definite trends and crazes you can follow when it comes to tile, any choice can be designed in such a way that makes them timeless. What matters most, she says, is how it complements or reflects your personal style and preference.
