THE LAWS OF CHOOSING A COLOUR FOR THE FLOOR

hen creating your interior, it is very important to choose the correct floor colour – this “grey eminence” of the interior will surely play a significant role. The proper combination of the colour of the walls, doors and floor can help achieve just about any effect from widening to lengthening the space. You do not have to guess as the laws of colour combinations have long been developed by designers. Simply take advantage of their advice in order to bring harmony to the interior in your home.

LAWS OF CHOOSING COLOUR The colour diapason of the floor and doors is quite limited compared to the wide range of choices for wallpaper or paint for the walls. Nonetheless, when you visit a home décor store, you will see a respectable choice of laminate colours, parquet boards, hardwood and tiles. First of all, determine whether you want a light or dark floor. Both options can be advantageous if used in the proper interior and design scheme.

WHAT EFFECT DOES THE FLOOR COLOUR CREATE?

THREE PLAYERS – FLOOR, FURNITURE AND DOORS

A bright colour is good at reflecting light and visually enlarging the interior. Furthermore, it gives the room a sense of tidiness in combination with the light shade of the walls. It is a universal solution for the living room or bedroom. However, if you combine the light floors with walls of a cool tone, you can achieve an uncomfortable atmosphere. This is especially relevant to rooms in the northwest part of the home.

How can you correctly choose the colour of the floor and skirting if you already have the furniture? How do you choose doors in the same colour as the floor or contrasting colours? These are applicable questions as such elements of the finish of your apartment are not planned to be changed throughout many years.

A dark shade means stability, style and bright contrast with the condition that they are mixed with bright walls, furniture and other elements of décor. Using contrasting accessories of the shade of the floor on a bright background is harmonious but this option is only suitable for rooms that get sufficient sunlight. One of the latest trends is a game of contrast, when a white floor is combined with almost black furniture or vice versa. The same can be said in regards to doors contrasting with the floor. Such techniques would negate the possibility of excessiveness of white or of black’s severity.

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

THE COLOUR OF THE FURNITURE AND FLOORS The obvious and primary rule for this pair: the floor must be at least two shades lighter than the furniture, or at least noticeably darker. In the worst case, your furniture will “disappear” on the background of a similar coloured floor. Put a contrasting rug on the floor and the problem of the floor and furniture being of the same colour will be resolved. Modern technologies allow the bravest fantasies to come to life. However, remember that flashy floor designs can quickly go out of style so it is best to stop at a classical choice of floor covering for your home or apartment. To avoid mistakes, try using online programs that help you choose the colour for your interior.

above. Using such lights will enable you to highlight this area of the bedroom; you can surround them with a panel, use interesting wallpaper, or place them above the head of the bed. Furthermore, this type of lighting may have a flexible base that enables you to adjust the brightness and direction of the light.

Five Methods to Light up the Sleeping Zone

CEILING SUSPENSIONS If you have decided on your bedroom floor plan and do not plan to move in the near future, then you can add light to the space via ceiling suspensions – chandeliers with a long base. This is a very stylish and comfortable option; choose the design to your taste.

LAMPS FOR BEDSIDE TABLES This option is the simplest and easiest to do. In the technical sense, you will need two outlets for the lamps on either side of the bed – if these are not available, you can use an extension cord. Table lamps are always capable of giving off an expensive vibe as they hint towards a traditional and comfortable setting. Such designs are always in style.

CEILING LIGHTING Scattered ceiling lighting is the most functional option. It is best to display the main light in the centre of the room. The design of this light should depend on the interior design, the height of the ceiling, and the size of the bedroom.

DECORATIVE LIGHTING

hen we come home, we want to feel warmth and comfort, especially during the cold winter evenings. Imagine an evening in a cozy home, with a warm blanket, comfortable recliner, and good lighting above a favourite book – what can be better? The bedroom is a space where we spend much of our time, whether it is with a book,

a laptop, or simply getting ready for bed. This article will explore the different lighting options for the bed space.

LIGHTING ON THE WALL If you are at the renovation stage, then you can install wires for pairs of lights on the wall in the bedroom. They do not take up space on horizontal surfaces, such as furniture, and effectively light the area from

Experimenting with light as a decorative element in the interior is one of the most common décor techniques used by designers today. In this case, the bed is of significant importance – take into account its design and how the lighting should direct attention to the bed as the focus of the room. The lighting can be in a niche near the bed, lights on a textured wall, or luminescent suspensions. If you have an idea that you love but are afraid that it is technically difficult for you to bring to life, do not hesitate to hire a professional. An effective embodiment of the most difficult idea will be worth it; your time and energy will be saved and the results will be breathtaking!

SEVEN EASY METHODS OF HOW TO INCORPORATE OLD FURNITURE INTO A NEW INTERIOR

f you are planning renovations but do not want to part with your furniture, do not worry! There are many possibilities of how you can incorporate it in the new interior. The interior will only benefit from such a unique collaboration. Imagine that you inherited a luxurious but hopelessly out-of-fashion massive buffet, a chest or a vintage hanger. Or perhaps you liked an old bureau at a sale. Often, we get rid of such furniture or are afraid to obtain it simply because it is difficult to incorporate in the interior. In vain!

Tip №1: WARN THE DESIGNER In the beginning of renovations, let your designer know about the existing furniture that you want to keep. They will help harmoniously display vintage items in a modern interior. Usually, retro-objects are difficult to incorporate into the interior. However, when you decide on the style of the interior, a professional designer will suggest several options of doing so. If you are doing renovations solo, your first step is to decide which favourite items you will keep for the new interior.

Tip №2: CHOOSE SHABBY-CHIC A finish in this style helps create an interior that gives off a traditional vibe: the wall-

ALL ABOUT HOME

paper imitating cracked paint, laminate imitating an aged tree, a decorative, ancient plaster. The shabby chic style is ideal for the children’s room, bedroom or the bathroom. However, if you only use separate elements of this style, you can incorporate it in the living room.

Tip №3: MAKE AN ACCENT Accentual use of furniture can become a trump card in your deck of stylistic decisions. For example, you can use the massive buffet as the highlight of the dining area or an old couch in an eclectic interior. Such items will once again attract the eye.

Tip №4: RESTORE Of course, you will not complete renovations without new updates. There are many ways that you can restore items in the interior. Professionals are capable of not only restoring the item to high quality, but also decorating it in the process.

Tip №5: OLD FURNITURE SHOULD BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION Remember: the older the furniture, the more attractive it is! If you have only one piece of vintage furniture, you can high-

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

light it with lighting – either create a zone or outline it in a bright light. In the process, do not forget about the 60-30-10 rule. It means that in every room the following ratios should be maintained: 60% of central colour, 30% peripheral and 10% accent. The central and peripheral colours should be neutral while the accent colour is best when it is a bright tone.

Tip №6: NOTE THE SIZES It is extremely important to take down the size of your current furniture. The fact that it is ancient does not mean that the designer should disregard its measurements in the ergonomic sense. Just as in other projects, it is important to consider comfort. Your new interior should be cozy and functional.

Tip №7: KNOW WHEN TO STOP When including retro details into a modern interior, be careful not to transform the space into a warehouse. Perhaps, a certain item is not that valuable to you? Often, homeowners do not throw out items that are left behind by their loved ones out of a feeling of guilt, despite the fact that they have no admiration for the “old lamp.” Avoid transforming your interior into a museum; your interior which combines modernism with vintage, should be first of all comfortable!

ALL ABOUT HOME

COMMON DÉCOR MISTAKES A PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER WILL NEVER MAKE

uring renovations, it is difficult to take every small detail into account, especially the first time. There is not a single home owner in existence who would not lament: “Next time, I will do this differently!” The design of an interior is an individualistic matter, so there are few general recommendations. However, it is very possible to avoid notable mistakes! If your budget does not allow you to hire a professional designer, do not worry! All About Home will outline the typical mistakes that you should avoid when there is no professional eye to overlook your work.

THE KITCHEN Mistake №1: laying the backsplash in advance. Often, homeowners try to install the backsplash first, before the kitchen is even ordered. This kind of approach always results in small inconveniences. For instance, you may have not taken into account some technical gap and would be forced to reinstall the hood. Likewise, the backsplash may prevent you from installing a cupboard exactly where you wanted. In order to avoid such situations, it is best to install the backsplash last. This will guarantee a smooth finish, and this is exactly the sequence recommended by professionals. Mistake №2: mismatch between the interior and exterior. The interior fillings of the kitchen are generally made from particle board which is covered with a specialized

ALL ABOUT HOME

film. The colour of this film differs from the colour of the façade 90% of the time. Moreover, the texture is often completely different. The inside of cupboards can be dissonant with the outside, and this is blatantly exposed by glass doors. When renovating the kitchen, it is essential to not only choose the colour of the façade, but also to harmonize the colour of the interior with it. This will create a beautiful and finished look.

THE BEDROOM Mistake №1: installing a mirror on the entire wall. A mirror ceiling or wall is not the best décor option for the bedroom. Adherents of Feng Shui believe that the sleeping person should not be reflected in a mirror, so it is best to position the bed far from reflecting surfaces. In any case, large mirrors will unlikely aid in creating a solitary and calm atmosphere. The same concept applies to closets with mirrors on the doors – this look is much more suitable for the living room or lobby. Mistake №2: a “blanket” on the windows. Textiles are a vital component of any bedroom as they are responsible for creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The draperies, blankets, pillows, the carpet, and the finish of the furniture should all be made of materials that work in harmony with one another. Often clients get the impression that the draperies and blanket should be made from the same material or have a similar design. However, these components fulfill different roles in the interior.

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

Thus, a “blanket” on the windows and “curtains” on the bed does not look right. Mistake №3: too many small accessories. If you are proud of your archive of family photographs, do not consider it necessary to fill entire walls with them. It is sufficient to display one or two frames on a chest. The same principle applies to other small items. If there are too many, the bedroom starts to look overcrowded and the interior will become variegated. It is better to display them in another room such as the living room or office. It is a mistake to display decorative items in the bedroom in general – they overload the space which should be, first of all, a space of relaxation. Mistake №4: a large rug under the bed. Often, homeowners choose to hide a large portion of the carpet under the bed. This conceals the beauty of the rug and makes it more difficult to clean. The optimal option is to display smaller carpets on both sides of the bed. It is also recommended to avoid having carpet-less bedrooms. Mistake №5: piles of decorative pillows. Decorative pillows belong on the couch in the living room rather than in the bedroom. Of course, small pillows that go well with the curtains and bed sheets will look effective on a large bed. However, it is important to follow a rule here: no more than four pillows, only one should be bright and stand out while the remaining three should be neutral in colour and texture. See the continuation in the next issue.

HOW TO ARRANGE A ROOM FOR THE ELDERLY

n many magazines, including ours, you can read about how to arrange the children’s room or a bedroom for two. However, you rarely come across material addressing how to properly equip a room for an elderly person. In this article, we aim to change this and tell you about a selection of the most important tips from specialists.

THE LOCATION OF THE ROOM Rooms in the attic or upper floors allow a beautiful view from the window; however, a room on the first floor would be best for an elderly person. Moreover, the pathway to the room should not have any obstacles such as high steps or slippery floors. It is best to cover linoleum and tiles with a non-slippery path in order to prevent potential injuries. If necessary, equip the hallway and walls leading to the room with

handrails. The interior will not suffer from this addition. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to equip the hallway, room, and bathroom with motion lights – this will make it easier to move around the home for your elderly loved one and yourself.

that can be turned on with a simple motion of the hand. Ideally, the brightness of the lights should be adjustable with the help of a dimmer. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to install electric blinds with a control remote.

COMFORT COMES FIRST

THE AESTHETIC ASPECT

When arranging a room for an elderly person, it is important to not only think about aesthetics, but also of comfort. Try to organize the interior in a way that maximizes comfort. For instance, the drawers should not be taller than a person and easily reached. Keep in mind that it is not very easy for an elderly person to bend or stand on a chair to reach for objects. The bed should also not be very high. An orthopaedic mattress would be a good addition but ensure to consult the opinion of your doctor first. It is a good idea to place dim lighting near the bed

The elderly require peace and appeasement; however, when arranging a room for them many people incorrectly associate calmness with a bland and boring interior. Use a soft but engaging colour scheme. Pastel tones of sky blue, yellow, pink, mint green, and coral will work well. Do not hesitate to decorate the room with bright paintings and pictures. In addition, consider incorporating flowers in vases or pots, fountains, or a fish aquarium. It has been proven that they have a positive impact on a person’s psychological state.

the decorative aspect of the interior. In fact, currently producers offer a wide selection of glass blocks with different designs, colours and textures. A glass block is essentially a singular enclosed crater formed as a result of a connection made by two compressed glass plates. Each half is made of thick glass (6-9 mm). In form, the glass block is similar to a brick with a smooth or corrugated surface except that this “brick” is empty inside. A wall made from these blocks is only 80 mm thick and yet it can easily compete with a wall “two bricks thick” in its insulating and soundproof qualities. Furthermore, glass blocks are not inferior to bricks in the sense that, like bricks, they are capable of enduring both low and high temperatures. As such, they can be safely used as exterior walls or fragments of them. Glass blocks do not fear water; in fact, they can be used to finish swimming pools, bathrooms and other interiors that are exposed to moisture. Unlike a brick or drywall wall, one made of glass blocks does not need to be painted, plastered or covered with wallpaper. Moreover, they do not require specialized care;

TIME AND GLASS

ot long ago, it was very common to find glass blocks in public places such as hospitals or pools. The wide use of glass blocks was explained by their exploitation qualities rather than aesthetics. Specifically due to their qualities, glass blocks did not become a thing of the past but rather the opposite – they suddenly became a peak trend. Nowadays, glass blocks are a modern and in-demand material used for construction and decoration purposes. The reasons for this are simple: glass blocks are not only functional (resistant to pressure, isolate sound, maintain heat and do not burn in fire), but they are also capable of significantly contributing to

ALL ABOUT HOME

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

it is sufficient to simply wipe them with a moist cloth or a glass cleaning mixture. The most popular method of using glass blocks in the interior remains for walls or partitions, although nowadays glass blocks are much more widely used. For instance, they are used as decorative surfaces in various types of interiors. Entire walls are constructed from glass blocks in areas that lack light and space such as the corridor. This allows light to fill the hall or corridor while isolating the space from unwanted spectators. Due to the so-called “scattering effect” glass blocks are able to conceal the interior from the outside so that viewers can only attempt to guess who the contours belong to. Partitions, whether wholly or partly made of glass blocks, can be used to create zones in an interior. Such a semi-transparent wall will separate the interior while maintaining a feeling of lightness and spaciousness. If you are not ready to equip your home with an entire glass block wall, you can use either one or several blocks for décor purposes. In this case, everything depends on your imagination: you can create a small matte insertion in the partition between the bathroom and lobby, add a creative lighting element in the living room or create a custom made composition from various decorative glass blocks. The wide selection of forms, colours, and textures allows for a creative way to transform a small interior into a spacious and open space. The combination of different glass blocks will surely create a stylish and unforgettable design.

INCORPORATING BLACK IN THE INTERIOR

R vandabaths.com

ALL ABOUT HOME

ecently, the colour black has been at the top of design charts. Black fixtures, lighting, faucets, hardware and finishes are appearing everywhere today. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you will find if you are looking to follow suit and add some black to your upcoming renovation or decor project.

black is the perfect partner for any metal. I personally love the look of matte black with satin brass; black also goes very well with silver, chrome or polished nickel. I recently used a matte black faucet in my very own design studio kitchenette. It pairs very well with the brass cabinet handles and the hunter-green cabinetry we installed.

Matte black faucets have become my favourite take on this trend with their sleek contemporary lines and soft luxurious touch. An increasing amount of companies are including matte black finishes into some of their more popular designs. The Campana faucet by House of Rohl is a fun and playful approach to the use of black with the functional and adorable wheel feature. Black fixtures can add sophistication but can also be a nice down-to-earth touch when used in a cottage or country setting.

Cabinet and door hardware, as well as window frames are another key area where we are starting to see this trend increase. A great way to incorporate this trend is simply replacing dated interior door knobs with sleek matte black ones which will update your space or vanity. Replacing kitchen knobs and pulls with new black ones will put you ahead of the trend when it comes to design.

The best thing about black is that it pairs well with just about anything. Mixing metals has become a popular design trend and

SECRETS OF FAST SALES:

Pros and Cons of Pre-Sale Repairs

ello, I am Natalia Slobidker!

I am a professional full-time realtor; I specialize in real estate pre-sales, sales strategy development and keeping real estate transaction risks at a minimum. My mission: minimum stress – maximum benefit, in any real estate transaction. Today, my article addresses those who are battling conflicting opinions – whether or not to repair their property before selling it, whether it pays off, and whether it is worth the time and effort. In most cases, the answer to this question is “yes,” but it is still somewhat of a problem that has many unknowns and the final answer depends on what obstacles each unknown presents. Despite this, I will be giving some general recommendations which will likely be beneficial to owners of the average property for their particular area. An experienced realtor can tell you what features are considered standard for a specific price range in a specific area. If for some reason your house does not have these features, it is likely that you will need to add them. It is very important to decide what level of repair your home needs. If your home is more than 20 years old and has never been repaired, then, depending on its price range, it can either get stuck on the market for a long time or else you will have to lower your expectations.

more extensively than the second despite the exact opposite impression.

After renovating:

Not to be unfounded, I offer an example from recent practice. I was called to a house approximately 30 years old, the owners of which had invested more than a grand in upgrades and improvements, but for some reason the house was not being sold for the desired amount. The first thing I noticed upon entering the house was that it was home to positive and cheerful people and had a joyful atmosphere. This is great for daily life, but it may have an undesirable effect on the sale. Entering the kitchen, I found a rich orange color; in contrast to such a background, the kitchen looked old and yellowed. This impression was reinforced by really old appliances and worktops. That is, the owners were not satisfied with the kitchen cabinets, so they changed them and added new ones. As a result, the kitchen had become more functional. Naturally, when it was time to sell, they had expected to sell the house as renovated and improved. Unfortunately, the kitchen still looks old in the eyes of a potential buyer. To solve this problem, all I had to do is pick a new colour for the walls so that it flattered the kitchen, change the countertop and appliances, and change the handles to something more interesting. Et voilà: the kitchen has gained an improved look, now matching its functional state. Here are photos of the kitchen – judge for yourself.

The rest of the stone slab was used to replace the countertops in the bathroom; coupled with a repainting of the wall, this produced the same effect as in the kitchen. Here is the bathroom before renovation:

Before renovating:

However, usually the situation is one where in some corner of the house some repairs were done but the overall impression remains unaffected. How so? Well, “the devil is in the details”. Invisible to the eye, they alert our brain: “the house is old and in poor condition; it requires repair” or, conversely, “entering this house, I can immediately start living, not haven broken a sweat.” Meanwhile, the paradox lies in that the first house may be repaired much

It was also necessary to abandon the bright colors in the bedrooms –since these emphasized their residents’ individuality – in favour of a more neutral palette acceptable to the majority. Before:

I was not able to resist committing a little designer hooliganism – we left a trace of the original color on one of the walls. As a signature: “we were here.” Thanks to correct proportions and presentation, the room simply became more interesting. If you are unsure that you can determine these proportions, either entrust them to professionals or else forego them altogether. The average ROI (return on investment) of renovations and subsequent redecoration ranges from 200-700%. Sometimes a simple permutation combined with a modified wall or floor colour can transform your property beyond recognition.

HOW TO GET PASSIVE INCOME FROM FLORIDA REAL ESTATE

n 2018, the strategy of real estate buyers in the GTA has drastically changed. Due to the “market cooling” imposed by the Ontario Government, investors do not want to take a risk until the situation in the Toronto market becomes more predictable and stable. In addition, there are stricter rules for landlords in Ontario (you cannot forbid the tenant to smoke inside your property or keep pets). Moreover, it will soon be legally allowed to possess a marijuana grow op and freely smoke it inside the property. This can make a classical rental business a nightmare for landlords and investors. So how do you make a profit from real estate nowadays? Short-term rental business can be a very effective solution. The most famous vacation rental provider site – Airbnb, which offers to rent accommodation – continues to beat all records. This year the number of available properties exceeded three million. Airbnb offers vacation rental in 65 thousand cities in 191 countries. Many people have successfully solved their financial problems using Airbnb’s system and continue to earn money. If you want to buy a property that you will offer for rent through Airbnb, pay close attention to its location. There are many factors that should be considered: safety, how popular the location is for investors and tourists, economics, the option to use the property for yourself, etc. In this regard, Florida has historically been a favourite place for investors and tourists from all around the world. You can always find different types of real estate deals according to your needs and budget. Let’s start with Orlando – the most visited place by tourists in the world (about 70 million people per year), which also makes it one of the best places for real estate investment. A new exclusive project called “SOLTERA” offers luxury 4 to 14-bedroom Resort Villas and Townhouses with swimming pools. This great resort community is located just 20 minutes from DISNEY WORLD and UNIVERSAL STUDIO PARKS. The amenities include: an aqua park, fitness center and spa, playgrounds, tennis and volleyball courts, and house maintenance. Some model homes are ready to buy now. The sale price starts from $290,000

for townhouses and $330,000 for detached houses. This complex is key-ready to get a passive income from the first day as it provides property management for a vacation rental business. The average daily rate of renting a house is from $250 to $600, depending on the size, which gives from $4,000 to $6,000 profit per month (with 75% occupancy). The deposit is only $50,000, and financing is offered with a 40% down payment. If you are interested in purchasing a property in this complex, we are presenting the FLY and BUY program that will pay for your two-way flight from Toronto to Orlando for a family of up to four people. If your budget is about $200,000 USD, there are excellent studios, and one or two bedroom apartments located close to the ocean or directly on the beach, near the Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood Beach areas. The amenities can include: a swimming pool with heating, a tiki-bar, private cabanas, a coffee-shop, all inclusive utilities, Internet, electricity, and water. The average rental profit is $3,000 USD per month, you can also use it for your vacation at any time of the year you choose. All of the necessary services and maintenance including cleaning, minor repairs, and marketing is provided by a professional property management company. If your budget is around $100,000 – there are always one or two bedroom apartments in comfortable complexes called “55 +” communities, or studios in condo-hotels with a great return as well. As you can see, the vacation rental business is very profitable, but it also takes time to set up and manage. These are just some of the steps that have to be done: • Selecting, buying, and preparing your property (including renovation, purchas-

FOR ADVERTISEMENTS CALL (416) 477-6107

ing furniture and appliances, decoration and staging); • Business registration and obtaining a licence, listing development (shooting pictures and video, site registration, house guidebook); • Listing management (guests screening, rates, calendar and reviews management); • Rental management (check-in and checkout, check-up list, damaged deposit); • Property management (housekeeping, garden and lawn maintenance, pool service), etc. The good thing is that we are offering all of these services for our Canadian clients so you can remotely enjoy and control your vacation rental business in Florida from the comfort of your home in Canada. To find out more about setting up a short term business, attend one of our local presentations in Toronto or Miami, just give me a call at 416-823-8183. We will help you choose the best option and deal for buying a property in Florida, according to your goals and budget.

YOUR FURNITURE PLAN: The “where” is just as important as the “what”

s the famous saying goes, “it’s not just the tools in your toolbox that get the job done – it’s how you use them.” Think of your furnishings as tools that serve a functional, spatial and aesthetic purpose when used correctly. As a stylist and “re-designer,” I find that more often than not, the furnishings themselves aren’t the problem. Rather, it’s their arrangement that can make a home feel cramped, inefficient or awkward.

SO, WHAT’S THE TRICK TO PROPER FURNITURE PLACEMENT IN YOUR SPACE? The first step is to measure and then measure again.

ALL ABOUT HOME

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

FOR ADVERTISEMENTS CALL (416) 477-6107

The size of your space will define the type of furnishings you will incorporate and how many pieces you will need. Can’t wait to visit the showroom? Do not rush! Measuring is an important step that should not be missed. I often find that furniture looks smaller in the store because of its wide, open space and high ceiling. When you bring that L-shaped sofa home, it takes up your whole living area. Measuring before buying will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises and the hassle of returns.

ONCE YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE SIZE, THINK ABOUT THE FUNCTION. In today’s modern, open-concept homes, a single space will need to serve many purposes. For instance, an open concept main floor will be used as a foyer, dining area, living area, family room and work space – all in one. With a solid plan complemented by the right furniture selections, this is possible in a single space.

HERE, “ZONING” COMES INTO PLAY. Think about creating several intimate conversation areas, achieved through the use of colours and some strategic elements. One or two chairs, a side table, a great lamp, and a mid-sized rug underfoot are all you need. As you plan out the zones in your space, think about your traffic patterns. How do you walk through the room to get to an adjoining space or another zone within the room? TIP: In a dining area, you’ll need at least three feet of space between your wall and the dining chair to allow room to pull the chair out without bumping into the wall. With that said, intimacy is key to a good conversation zone. Don’t be afraid to place a couple of chairs close together and tell someone your story! Beautiful furniture that’s improperly placed will fall flat. Redesigning a room to get that “wow” factor often involves coupling a few new furniture finds with your existing pieces and a well-planned perspective on how to place them.

B THE HALLWAY MIRROR

eing a reflection of the home is not the only role of the entry hall. One of the most important functions of this often insignificant space is that it helps you mentally prepare to leave the house because most of us look in the mirror before stepping out. If we are happy with the way we look at that moment it defines our mood and our readiness to embrace the world waiting beyond the door. The hallway mirror serves a purpose much beyond you asking it “Who’s the fairest of them all?” It can also serve to visually alter the room’s proportions as well as being a decorative accent. There are quite a few ways to make a small entry hall look more spacious, the most popular being a mirrored door of the hall closet built into the longer wall. If the closet has an accordion door, installing mirrors into every other section makes its design more interesting. For the hallways without built-in closets the role of the space enhancer can be allotted to a tall mirror on the wall, especially if hung in such a way that it reflects, fully or partially, a room or installed on a turn of a long corridor. Reflecting more than just the opposite wall serves to the visual effect of a larger space. An even better option is for the mirrors to reflect - whether fully or partially - various objects in the interior. For instance, reflecting a window will add light to the interior while a reflection of plants adds beauty. Mirror facets not only send colourful sparkles into the darker space but also serve to visually enhance the space. Horizontal wall mirrors make the shorter wall of the entrance hall seem wider and enhance the look of the furniture next to it. They usually have a very simple frame or none at all, thus fitting into any decorative style, from frivolous to classic. Vertical wall mirrors allow you to see yourself from head to toe – an indispensable function for a hallway mirror. A little secret well known to clothing store designers: a mirror tilted towards you will make you look slimmer. Enjoy your hallway mirror and your reflection in it!

THAT FAMILIAR LAMINATE

aminate flooring is the best for those who like experimenting with their home décor. Compared to parquet or hardwood, laminate needs no special installation skills. You can do it yourself if you install it over a cement floor that does not require any corrections. You can start laying laminate from any corner of the room.

greatly damage this type of floor covering and nothing will eliminate the scratches short of replacing the damaged section. Laminate does not get discoloured with age but it gets abraded.

you purchase a more expensive laminate covering with antistatic coating.

Laminate comes in a wide colour range and textures; enabling any design solutions. Laminate can create a faux wood or stone, marble or tile effect.

Maintaining laminate floors is easier than hardwood ones. All you need is a slightly wet cloth – make sure you have squeezed out as much water as possible to avoid swelling in the seams. By the way, the seams in a light-toned laminate floor may get clogged with dust and dirt which will greatly spoil your floor’s look.

The higher the class of laminate is, the higher its price will be. To evaluate the quality of the material you need to have an idea of its manufacturing process; a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process. Laminate flooring simulates wood (or sometimes stone) with a photographic appliqué layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board materials.

One of the advantages of laminate flooring is its practicality – it would not suffer from spike heels as much as a parquet floor. Nevertheless, moving furniture around can

Try to avoid walking barefoot on your laminate floors because it inadvertently shows footsteps. Another drawback is static that is inherent in laminate floors unless

Laminate flooring is priced in direct relation to its class. If you decide on laminate floor covering get the highest class possible – you will save money in the long run.

ALL ABOUT HOME

VENTILATION FANS

athroom and kitchen fans are an important part of your home’s ventilation system. They remove odours from the house (thus improving indoor air quality) and moisture (thus decreasing the level of humidity in the house). Most exhaust systems consist of an exhaust fan, ducting, and an exterior hood. Some houses have a central exhaust system, in which one fan draws moisture and odours from several rooms of the house using a network of ducts. Kitchen exhaust systems usually have the fan and fan motor in the exhaust hood. Other systems use an in-line fan, which is in the exhaust duct, or a fan outside the house. In-line and outdoor exhaust fans are usually quieter than systems with the fan in the room. Not all the fans are created in the same way. Research shows that many houses have exhaust fans that: • are too noisy • move very little air • are not energy efficient • may cause back drafting of combustion to appliances • use high-wattage lighting Usually these drawbacks refer to older models. Now, there is a new generation of effective, quiet, energy-efficient exhaust fans and controls. When making your selection, choose the quietest, most energyefficient fan in the size range required. Most

ALL ABOUT HOME

fan labels have Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) ratings so you can compare noise and energy efficiency. Look for a fan with replaceable parts and permanent lubrication. A fan suitable for continuous use is preferable. Be prepared to pay more for a quality fan. Select smooth exhaust ducting. Seal the joints and insulate sections that run through unheated spaces. And, finally, place the exhaust hood where it will not cause moisture damage on exterior surfaces. Install the proper controls.

BATHROOM FANS When selecting a bathroom fan you should know their exhaust capacity. A normal bathroom needs a good-quality fan. A poor-quality fan will not exhaust enough air and will be too noisy for regular use. Large bathrooms and bathrooms with bigger fixtures naturally need larger fans. Place the bathroom fan as close as possible to the source of moisture or odour. Some bathroom fans have lights or heating lamps. If you choose a fan with integrated lights, look for efficiency. Any fan installed in an insulated ceiling — for instance, in the attic if it is located right above the bathroom ceiling — must not leak air and must be rated for use under insulation. Many people will not use a noisy fan. Select the quietest fan in the size you need. They are often labeled “low noise” or “quiet.” Check for the HVI rating. If it is not rated, there is a good chance that it will be noisy.

Energy efficiency does not stop at an energy-efficient fan. Ducting can affect fan performance. Un-insulated, undersized, or droopy flex ducting, ineffective or dirty backdraft dampers and exhaust louvers can cut rated airflow by more than 50 per cent. To check whether your exhaust fan is drawing air, hold a piece of toilet tissue up to the grille. The exhaust air should hold the tissue tightly to the grille. You could also check the outlet to make sure the air is leaving your house. Fans create static electricity which attracts dirt that can encourage mold growth and restrict air movement. Clean fans, housings, backdraft dampers and exterior flaps seasonally.

KITCHEN RANGE HOODS A kitchen range hood must move more air than a bathroom fan. As a result, they are noisier, although they can be relatively quiet on low speed. The best units have a low noise rating, an energy-efficient fan, fluorescent lights, sound insulation, anti-vibration mounts and duct connections. For heavy duty use, select non-corrosive materials such as aluminum or stainless steel. High quality hoods may have heat sensors and a safety shut-off. Kitchen exhaust systems should discharge outdoors. Recirculating range hoods rely on filters to capture some odours and grease. The filters are generally made of carbon and must be replaced frequently to be effective. With recirculating fans, moisture and odours from cooking will usually remain in the house. Range hoods usually have washable, aluminum-mesh grease filters. Better quality filters have a smaller diameter mesh over a larger surface area and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Clean or replace grease traps and filters frequently. The newest range hoods allow you to remove the fan for cleaning in a dishwasher.

ALL ABOUT HOME

ARCHED NICHES

rched wall niches have been around for ages since Greek and Roman times. Wall niches are a wonderful way to display photographs, sculptures, collectibles, or any other piece you feel like showing off. Thanks to modern technologies and cheaper materials, anyone can have an arched niche installed by an experienced master. For practical uses you need a deeper niche, but even a faux niche 3 to 5 cm in depth contoured by a decorative moulding or boasting nice interior accents will make your whole décor look much more sophisticated. The soft radial lines of an arched niche will emphasize the superior taste of the homeowner while spectacular finishes and lighting will draw attention to it. The space inside the niche is used to emphasize the owner’s taste and individuality. Therefore, you can “kill two birds with one stone” by acquiring an exclusive décor element at a very reasonable cost. Nevertheless, the process requires some preparation on your part.

ALL ABOUT HOME

• Remember that both the installer and the painter will charge you for the whole job, not per a linear meter; • If you plan to illuminate your niche, ask an electrician to give you an estimate before the installer starts working; • If you plan to fit the niche with shelves, discuss the weight they will need to carry with the installer so that he reinforces the points marked on the blueprints; • For a large niche where you plan to place your library, equipment, or a fireplace, make sure the dimensions are compatible. For items made to order ask the manufacturing company for a visit of a professional measurer; • If you intend to decorate with wallpaper or a ready-made mural take into consideration the height of the niche from the top radial point and the need to cut the design on a curve without damaging the integrity of the piece; • If the arched niche you are planning is not an independent element but rather part of a complicated composition, be realistic in evaluating your designing abilities. Should you doubt them turn to a professional interior designer for help.

HOW GET Bedrooms: 3,TO Washrooms: 2 100% FULL MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR HOME. For Sale: Condo Apartment

Asking: $499,000

Toronto

The single biggest issue on most home sellers’ minds when selling their home is how to achieve the highest sale price. And yet most home owners feel disadvantaged and ill-equipped to achieve this goal. Pricing a home is an imperfect science to begin with, and market factors can cause large swings. So can the skill of the person responsible for negotiating. However, negotiating effectively doesn’t have to be as difficult or scary as you would expect. Like anything else, if you have a proven system to follow - and know the signals and the language - you can successfully cause the tables to turn in your favour. Who better to borrow these skills from than professional negotiators who daily sit across the table to try to outbargain their opponent? The system these professionals follow has been outlined in a new free special report for homesellers entitled “How to Get 100% Full Market Value,” which outlines the 4 most common mistakes most home sellers make when negotiating the price they will sell their home for.
