T he use of ceramic in construction dates all the way back to 30,000 BC, when clay mortars were used to hold a structure made of branches and canes together. Although we’ve come a long way from branch houses, ceramics are still constantly evolving. New technologies have made ceramic tiles one of the most innovative architectural materials available today, and the youngest generation of architects is jumping on board.

When it comes to incorporating tile into your home, there are endless possibilities. Tile gives you the opportunity to add color, texture and beauty that are just not possible with other mediums. Many people, however, opt for very simple designs. While there is a time and place for all kinds of different tile, trying out a bold tile design as a unique accent piece in your home can add a wow factor that is truly incredible.

This is my latest piece on aging in place for a 103-year-old publication, The Forward. As you’ll see when you click the link , it addresses the “aging in place” subject from a Biblical perspective: “Thou shalt honor thy mother and father.” Helping them in their homes may become part of that, if it hasn’t already. Smart home technology can make seniors’ lives easier and more comfortable.

Black has always been an excellent color to decorate with as it is neutral and plays well with any theme and palette. However, many homeowners tend to be intimated by the color because of how rich and bold it is. It is not a shy away from color instead it is elegant and powerful without being in your face. As the 2018 interior design trends are quickly being revealed, we have come to the conclusion that black is coming back with a vengeance and it is the IT color for 2018.

Countless times leading up to the eclipse this week, we were sternly and unequivocally warned: Do not look directly at the sun without proper viewing glasses. One orange-complected fool—perhaps you may be able to guess his identity—disregarded this bit of scientific guidance. [Perhaps as he is already blind to reality, no further harm was done.] Given this individual's tendency to poke his short thumb into various eyes, I'm surprised he didn't opt to follow the example of this 1959 ad, and take

It has been a while since I have visited a museum but last weekend I had the chance to go to the recently expanded Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. While my time was limited, I was able to view many interesting artifacts and objects and the exceptional ancestral home of the Huang family ensconced within the museum. The house, known as Yin Yu Tang, stood in the rural village of Huang Can in the southeastern section of China.

Today, I'll be looking up at 2:42 PM EDT, when the solar eclipse will be most evident here in NYC. Although the skies will be clear, it might be a bit of a challenge to find an unobstructed vantage point in Manhattan; something tells me that rooftop lounges will see a surge in mid-afternoon business. The deep skylight in this kitchen would allow for limited tracking of the event—which occurs in fewer than one in a billion planets. davidchipperfield.com.
