Brighten and heighten your interior design with 5 simple tips (BPT) - As warm weather arrives, the changing scenery outdoors is natural inspiration for homeowners to update their interior design. Luxurious textures, bright colors and bold accents help to define today’s most popular summer decor trends, adding emotion and energy to any space.

For those redecorating or looking to make a change in their home, the season’s top interior design tips and trends will help you inject magazineworthy style into your home for an elegant look guaranteed to impress: Wood alternatives The organic look of wood is timeless, providing a warm and rustic elegance to rooms. Wooden walls and floors have broad appeal, but homeowners often tire at how quickly dents and scratches appear. In addition, these blemishes require constant maintenance and upkeep. To avoid this expensive maintenance, many homeowners in are turning to wood porcelain tiles. The Porcelanosa Parker Oxford Collection features porcelain tiles designed to look like luxury hardwood, but with all the

maintenance and performance benefits characteristic of tile. Choose traditional patterns or get creative with unique inlays for a look that’s one of a kind, durable and easy to maintain.

Metal hardware One of the easiest and most affordable ways to update interior spaces within a home is to replace hardware. Just as accessories pull together an outfit, knobs, backplates handles and hinges help to define a space and give it personality. Oilrubbed hardware continues to be popular, and gold tones are gaining interest once again. Mixing various metals in different sheens and textures adds a unique element that dresses up a space instantly.

Tile trends More designers are paying special attention to how textures and patterns effect the emotion of different rooms, and tile is being used to achieve stunning results. The Suede Collection of wall tiles from Porcelanosa are designed with reliefs that form overlapping patterns emulating pressed cement. The result is flowing

patterns of curvilinear lines that add beautiful texture to walls. Another top tile trend is hand-assembled mosaics made from geometrically cut tiles to create spectacular wall and floor coverings.

Bathroom furniture lines Sleek furniture and flowing lines creates a larger sense of space throughout a home, but this trend is particularly prevalent in bathrooms where space is at a premium. The Ciclo Bath Collection features KRION, a material that is smooth to the touch and endlessly customizable because it can be molded like plastic. With virtually invisible joints, the collection of sinks, mirrors, vanities and shelving makes it simple to integrate clean line design concepts.

Accent colors Warm weather often calls for refreshed color palates within home design, but it’s not necessary to do a complete overhaul to inject the season’s hottest hues. Whether you go for vivid tones like radiant orchid, the Pantone color of the year, or you prefer more subdued gray and blue hues that

are currently trending with interior designers, home decor accents make it easy to integrate color for seasonal updates. For example, swapping pillows, throws, paintings and photography takes minimal effort and little investment.

Crystal elements A touch of sparkle is an attractive addition to rooms, particularly in unexpected spaces. Light fixtures like crystal chandeliers are no longer reserved only for dining rooms and entranceways – many now grace bedrooms and powder rooms, adding visual drama. In the bathroom, the Swarovski Crystal Elements Collection features dazzling decorative elements that reflect light and can be used to separate surface transitions on walls, showers and backsplashes. Try mixing crystal accents with organic materials like marble or wood for a striking and chic contrast look.

To learn more and explore these trends yourself, contact a Porcelanosa design consultant and get your decorating plan underway for the summer season.

How to choose a patio door to transform your home's view

(BPT) - It’s the time of year to get outside, dine on the deck, bask in the backyard or relax on the patio.

Is your home ready for summer entertaining or is it time for a remodeling or replacement project?

If the answer is the latter, now’s the time to get more out of your home by improving access to the great outdoors.

You can do this by replacing your patio door. Replacing it can transform your home’s view and comfort year-round. Here’s how you can begin the process.

Select a style: hinged or sliding

Hinged - Hinged patio doors, often called French doors, add an elegant look to your home. Choose from popular options like two movable doors that swing open from the sides to allow room to move in big furniture or groups of guests, or movable and fixed door combinations that can hinge from the center or a single door for simple elegance. You can also create a custom design, complete with sidelights or transom windows, to span your home’s unique architecture.

Sliding - If floor space is limited or if your patio door opens to a balcony, consider a sliding patio door, since they take up less floor space. Look for a patio door with the sliding panel on the outside, so that when the wind blows against it, the design creates a tighter, more energy-efficient seal to help keep your home comfortable.

Many sliding patio doors from Pella offer the Rolscreen retractable insect screen option to refresh your home with fresh air.

Roll the Rolscreen in place to help keep insects out and simply roll it out of sight to blend in with the patio door’s design when not in use.

Choose energy-efficient options Look for the ENERGY STAR to

easily select energy-efficient patio door styles, like those from Pella made from wood, fiberglass or vinyl frames with double- or triple-pane insulating glass options.

Wood - Consider the natural warmth, beauty and energyefficiency of wood patio doors.

They are available in virtually any shape, size, grille pattern, and exterior color. You can save time by choosing factory prefinished wood interiors and trim.

Vinyl - For exceptional energy performance, outstanding strength and weather resistance, consider a vinyl patio door. Low-maintenance vinyl sliding doors will look great for years, without the need for painting.

Fiberglass - For a durable product that withstands extreme weather, plus resists dents and high traffic from people or pets, consider a fiberglass patio door.

Sleek, strong, highly-energy efficient fiberglass withstands extreme heat, cold, and moisture.

With a long-lasting powder coat finish, fiberglass patio doors like the Pella Impervia line don’t need painting and resist sagging and warping, even in dark colors, even in hot climates.

Decide on decorative options Optional between-the-glass shades or blinds help reduce dust accumulation, eliminating the dreaded chore of cleaning blinds or shades. Blinds or shades betweenthe-glass are a natural for patio doors, since they don’t interfere with the operation of the door itself, yet make it a breeze to control light and privacy. Plus, shades and blinds without roomside cords are safer options for homes with pets or children.

Choose from grilles permanently applied to the exterior of glass surfaces or with the added convenience of between-the-glass grille options that make cleaning a breeze. You can also consider removable grilles to transform your home’s look from contemporary to Colonial in a snap.

Backyard projects to turn the area into a treasured sanctuary (BPT) - You love the days when you can go home from work, open the windows and enjoy dinner out on the deck. And it sure isn’t hard to rise early on those sunny weekend days to spend all day in the backyard.

Those days are here, and it’s time to get outside to spend time with the grill, the garden and the deck.

Because the backyard is a space people like to develop with landscaping and gathering areas, they look for building materials that not only provide the strength and durability needed for the project they’re working on, but also those that have the aesthetic beauty preferred for a backyard sanctuary. If you’re planning to update your backyard this summer, consider these ideas: * Add a deck or patio – A gathering space is very important in the backyard, and if you don’t already have one, you’ll appreciate the sense of community and togetherness a deck or patio provides your family once it’s built. As you plan your deck, be sure to consider the material you’ll use for building it. Natural wood like Western red cedar requires minimal maintenance when left natural. It will turn into a distinguished silver-gray that frequently matches or complements a home’s color. Plus, wood is a natural and sustainable material choice, as the manufacturing process is very low-carbon emitting compared to composite products.

Be sure to design your deck or patio to give you the most use of it. For example, if your family likes to grill, consider building in a grill. Or if reading is a favorite activity, add a couple of lounge chairs with a shade cover and a drink cooler handy; you’ll never want to leave the deck! Also, decorate the area with lights so you can enjoy the space well into the evening, long after the sun has disappeared behind the horizon. * Enhance your garden spaces – Those who have a green thumb enjoy planting flower, herb and vegetable gardens. Consider the opportunities raised beds provide, saving you back pain and providing the plants with a barrier from some weeds, insects and other pests. Raised beds also have good soil drainage and look beautiful, giving the garden space a clearly defined edging. If built tall enough with seats, they provide the gardener and visitors to the garden area good places to sit and enjoy the space. Natural wood products like Western red cedar are perfect for building raised beds, because they won’t leak any chemical toxins into your garden. With your beds created and planted, you’ll be enjoying flowers and vegetables all summer long. * Build a visual element – Not many backyards have a visual element, but when one is added, it completely changes the look of the space. Visual elements are often practical and decorative. For example, a pergola can provide a shaded sitting area or a structure for grapes or flowering climbing vines. A gazebo is a great location for reading a book in the shade or a romantic candlelit evening. Ponds, statues and even a decorative gate can enhance the overall appeal of your backyard, enticing family members to hang out when the weather permits.

As you work on your backyard project this summer, you can start dreaming about how much time you’ll be spending on your new deck, enjoying the produce from your garden or relaxing near the visual element you’ve added. It might be so nice, you’ll never want to go inside!

In the market for a mower? The A to Z of zero-turn mowers

(BPT) - A gorgeous lawn is a key element of the American dream, since a lush, green, well-trimmed lawn makes your home look great. The mower you choose affects the health and beauty of your lawn, and directly impacts the amount of time and money you invest in lawn care.

If you’ll be replacing an old lawn tractor this summer, or stepping up from a walkbehind to a riding model, you may be wondering about zeroturn mowers, what they do and if they’re worth the investment. Before you decide what type of mower to buy, here’s the “A to Z” facts about why millions of homeowners have chosen zero-turn mowers instead of lawn tractors: * The “zero” in the mower name refers to their ability to turn in a very tight radius, unlike lawn tractors which need to make wider turns.

Manufacturer Toro says its Toro TimeCutter zero-turn mowers are as easy and intuitive to steer as a shopping cart. That ease of use has made zero-turn mowers the equipment of choice for professionals, and it’s drawing more homeowners to the technology. * The ability to trim mowing time is a major advantage of zero-turns. Americans, on average, spend 29 hours per year on lawn and gardening chores, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s American Time Use Survey. A poll of Midwesterners found that 41 percent use riding mowers, according to the Ohio State University Extension Research Bulletin. Over a multi-year study, Toro TimeCutter zero turn mower customers reported saving on average 45 percent of their mowing time. * Because zero-turn mowers make it easier to achieve a good cut, even around obstacles like trees and

planting beds, lawns have a well-groomed appearance.

Users also spend less time making close cuts with a trimmer around those objects that a lawn tractor can’t get close to. * Simply by virtue of allowing users to spend less time mowing, zero-turn mowers are generally more comfortable than lawn tractors. Superior mowers like the TimeCutter series provide extra comfort with seats that have higher backs (15 to 18 inches) for better support.

Dual stick controls are also more comfortable to grip than a standard lawn tractor’s steering wheel. * Shorter mowing time means users spend less on gas to power their zero-turn mowers. Plus, there is less wear and tear because they need less time than a lawn tractor to cut a lawn. * Some zero turn mowers, especially the Toro TimeCutter with its standard hitch and line of Brinly-Hardy attachments, can help you get all your other yard tasks done too just like a tractor. * Zero-turn mowers are as user-friendly for novices as they are for expert operators.

A host of available features enhance their usability, such as speed adjustments, hour meters that monitor service intervals, and sight gauges that allow you to quickly and easily discern the fuel level in the mower.

Finally, zero-turn mowers are competitive with lawn tractors when it comes to price. A quality zero-turn mower will cost about the same as a high-end lawn tractor, and while the initial costs of both types may be comparable, a zero-turn mower definitely delivers greater time and cost savings in the long term.

Bird feeding faux pas? 5 easy, no-fret fixes

(BPT) - Fabulous food, pretty presentation and attention to detail can earn you a reputation as an amazing host among your human guests. But when you serve your feathered friends, are you committing a feeding faux pas that you fear may prove unforgivable?

Birds may be small, but they pack long memories into those little craniums, and they won’t soon forget if you serve the wrong food, make a bad feeder choice or allow uninvited squirrels in on the action. Certain feeding missteps, however, are fairly easy to fix.

Mealworms or premium seed blends. Suet and dried mealworms (less messy than live mealworms) provide muchneeded energy and fat, while quality seed blends incorporate only the seeds birds really like to eat, without the chemicals and mineral oil coating of cheaper brands. Visit www.coleswildbird.com to learn more about types of bird feed.

Faux pas No. 1 – Serving junk food.

Birds can be quite focused when they see feed they want.

On the way to the feeder, birds can collide with windows, especially if the glass reflects the sky and trees or is very clean and clear. Window collisions can be devastating, and even fatal, for birds.

The fix: Place feeders at least 30 feet from windows to avoid disorienting reflections. If you don’t have that kind of room, place feeders just 1 to 3 feet from windows in

You wouldn’t invite your friends over for a dinner party and serve them a bucket of take-out fried chicken, would you? Well, that’s essentially what you’re doing if you serve birds human food like bread, donuts or cookies, or stock feeders with seed mixes that are made up mostly of millet, other fillers or lowquality seeds.

The fix: Fill feeders with quality options like Cole’s Suet Cakes, Dried

order to prevent birds from building up enough momentum for a potentially fatal collision.

Faux pas No. 3 – Tolerating uninvited guests.

Birds aren’t the only ones who love bird feed; squirrels are big fans of seeds and suet as well, and they’re experts at stealing seed from bird feeders. Left unchallenged, squirrels can drain feeders quickly, leaving nothing for the birds. They can also cause damage to feeders and frighten away more

Faux pas No. 2 – Failing to keep guests safe.

timid bird species.

The fix: You wouldn’t attack a pesky neighbor who showed up uninvited at your backyard barbecue, and you don’t want to harm squirrels either – just dissuade them from bothering bird feeders. One option is to stock feeders with a product like Coles Hot Meats, a patented blend, which features sunflower meats infused with habanero chilies. Birds can’t taste the heat, but squirrels sure hate it. Or, try distracting squirrels and other wildlife from bird feeders by serving them something even better, such as Critter Munchies.

Faux pas No. 4 – Overlooking the importance of ambiance.

You hang streamers and balloons for a birthday party, and light graceful tapers for an intimate dinner party. Birds care about ambiance, too. Shrubbery and trees provide birds places to hide from predators. A yard that lacks cover is not an appealing dining destination for birds.

The fix: Choose a calm, sunny location for feeders – spots east or south of your house will probably provide the most protection from cold northern winds. Plant shrubs and trees, put up a fence or plant a hedge row to provide cover. Since you’ll have to refill your feeders daily, be sure their location is accessible and convenient.

Faux pas No. 5 – Paper plates Would you invest time and money in preparing a gourmet meal only to serve it on paper plates? Of course not! Yet that’s comparable to how birds feel about a single feeder, a dirty feeder or one that doesn’t feature their preferred style of perch.

The fix: Offer multiple styles of feeders to appeal to the broadest range of backyard birds. Tube feeders are a great, classic type of feeder that works for many different birds. Cole’s feeders have a “Quick Clean” feature that allows you to quickly, easily pop off the bottom for speedy cleaning. An open-bowl design feeder makes it easy to serve suet, nuts and mealworms.

Hummingbird feeders allow you to serve the nectar that hummingbirds love.a Fortunately, it’s easy to develop bird feeding etiquette. A few simple fixes will convince your feathered friends that your backyard is the destination of choice for discerning diners this season.

Finding balance: creating functional family living spaces

(BPT) - Let’s face it - life is busy. And one of the byproducts of a busy life is a cluttered house. With piles of paper coming home from school and toys creating obstacle courses in the family room, parents may wonder how they’ll ever take back control of the house. A few experts share their ideas for doing just that.

Making the most of small spaces Lisa Godsey, a registered interior

designer for nearly 20 years and an instructor at The Illinois Institute of Art Chicago, recommends that people start looking at interior spaces in a new way - up. Utilizing a room’s vertical space along the walls takes the heavy lifting off floor space as a catch-all for clutter.

“Consolidating objects in some kind of containment, whether with shelves, cubes, wall-hung baskets or other organizational options cleans up visual clutter,” she says.

This technique is especially beneficial in small living areas. In these situations, adding vertical modular storage units opens up space for tables and couches, while adding utility and keeping potentially harmful items away from small hands.

Family-friendly furniture Marissa Alexander, academic director at The Art Institutes International Minnesota advises families to think toward the future when choosing furniture items. “Durability, easy maintenance and flexibility of the fabric

are essential,” she says. Children will grow up quickly so choosing materials that meet the family’s needs now and in the future is highly advisable.

Both Alexander and Godsey suggest nylon upholstery and durable, lowsheen furniture finishes, fiber seal textiles and individual lounge chairs sharing an ottoman instead of a loveseat. These combinations offer form, function, and style, as well as the opportunity to fit in alongside new furniture purchases.

“Selecting furniture with clean lines, in subdued patterns in a medium value range - not too light or dark - can work in a variety of settings,” Godsey adds.

To add pops of color, change the wall paint. Adam B. Nash, LEED certified designer and interior design instructor at The Art Institute of San Antonio, a branch of The Art Institute of Houston, suggests choosing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) free products because they are very eco- and childfriendly. These paints don’t emit any toxic fumes and are completely odorless making it possible to literally paint a bedroom and have the kids sleep in it that same evening. “It also allows for flexibility of changing things around without huge costs, especially when transitioning from a nursery to a preschooler to a preteen, etc,” shares Nash.

Keeping peace in shared spaces It’s hard enough to convince siblings to share a tablet; what happens when they have to share closet space?

“Sharing a closet is best accomplished when it is clear who

No Application Fee

While parents show off their acquired style through furniture choices, artwork and decor, children’s style can be a bit more - changeable.

Alexander suggests that parents provide children with flexible display systems that show off their creativity in a simple, neat and contained package.

“Magnetic paint gives children direct control over what they display, allowing them to change displays whenever they want. A large frame with a plexi shield is a lightweight way to display a variety of flat work like children’s custom artwork.”

Creating a functional living space where parents and children coexist harmoniously - doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By choosing durable but stylish furniture, practical storage solutions, and allowing everyone the chance to express their style in defined places, your home can become a haven for all ages.

controls which space,” asserts Godsey.

She recommends defining areas based on age - for example, placing an older child’s clothing on the top level of a double-hung closet. The area can be accessed via a stepstool - out of a younger sibling’s reach.

Another option is to hang two bars extending into the depth of the closet, rather than one utilizing the width of the closet.

“Two bars on each side, in doublehung fashion, gives each child four feet of hanging space,” she says. And it may help to keep the peace when it’s time to choose an outfit.
