Homeowners install 'Costco doors' to streamline bulk grocery unloading

A growing number of homeowners are renovating their homes to include small 'Costco doors' connecting garages to kitchens or pantries. These modifications allow shoppers to directly unload heavy bulk items, such as 25-pound bags of rice, from their vehicles into their homes, eliminating the need for multiple trips. While the trend offers ergonomic benefits by reducing physical strain and fall risks, some homeowners express concerns regarding pest entry and security. Builders report high demand for this specific feature, reflecting a broader shift toward home efficiency in 2026.

Hue’s Liane ropes turn lighting into architectural art at IFA 2026

Philips Hue unveiled its Liane 360° Rope Lights at IFA 2026, a premium, architecturally focused lighting system that can be hung or shaped to emit a full 360° color wash using OmniGlow tech. A 17-rope, 3-meter chandelier shown in a Berlin loft costs about $7,000; individual 3-meter ropes start at $399.99 and 5-meter runs at $549.99.

Pocket-Size NYC Digs Sell for $130K—But Space Is the Price

Manhattan’s cheapest pads are tiny (250–364 sq ft) and selling for about $130k–$320k, including a 254-sq-ft NoMad unit for $320k and two HDFC-affordable units under $160k. Space-smart layouts and minimalist design tricks (legs on furniture, wall storage, mirrors) help maximize usability, but buyers should note monthly maintenance ($350–$1,076) and residency/income restrictions on some properties.

2026 Flooring Trends: Ditch Bold Surfaces for Texture, Tone, and Flow

A design-focused forecast for 2026: six flooring trends are said to be out—cement/encaustic tile, polished concrete, cool gray tones, large-format high-gloss tiles, low-quality LVP, and bold patterned tile—while seven new directions gain momentum: stone inlay and mixed-material floors, darker moody woods, unconventional wood layouts, tonal layering over high contrast, authentic natural materials, matte/honed finishes, and continuous flooring across rooms to improve flow and warmth; experts caution about maintenance and encourage selecting higher-quality options.
