Forget luck. Having bamboo that thrives on a wee plot just takes planning, picking the right variety, and keeping runners in check

Bamboo gets a bad rap in the garden, but this clumping variety creates an exotic landscape look with less aggressiveness

Bring Asian or tropical allure to a room of any style with versatile and exotic bamboo pieces

Serve this versatile plant straight up or with a twist for auspicious living decor that thrives without soil

Be bold. Be brave. Drench your floors in black for a memorable interior scene

Combine black with other colors to add drama, polish and modernity. It also can make a kitchen look more spacious

All-black and coal-gray exteriors make a nonconformist statement on homes of any style and size

Going dark in the bath amps up the drama and lets metallic finishes shine

Go for Eastern elegance with accessories, statues and furniture pieces that have graphic appeal

It’s no trick. Furnishings and accessories in this bold color pairing keep spaces lively even after Halloween is over
