Life On The Farm The farmhouse look has been popularized over the last few years

BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

omfy, cozy and classic. These three C’s are the hallmark of farmhouse style, the interior design trend that has been sweeping homes across the nation. Warm, relaxing and full of charm and character, those who prefer this design favor practicality from room to room. Enter into a home designed with farmhouse and you will find reclaimed wood, wide plank floors, neutral colors (think cream, beige, gray, brown and green—no bright colors for as far as the eye can see), barnboard details, wrought iron accents, vintage accessories and welcoming furniture. Decorative items should be worn, rugged and weathered, so no glass, crystal or fragile figurines here. And anything matchy-matchy is a no-no. Mix patterns, materials and fabrics in blankets, throws and pillows and set the stage on your walls by hanging some phrases, monogrammed pieces and peaceful landscapes. This not only goes for décor, but

furniture as well. Different chairs around an old hunk of wood that serves as a dining room table adds

a level of character and storytelling. In the kitchen, apron sinks are a highlight of the room, especially if placed under exposed wood beams. While these are more inherent to homes when built, homeowners can set beams in the ceiling for a rustic country look that works well in any room. If it doesn’t look like it’s direct from the store, chances are you’re doing it right. So many craft and home goods stores these days carry everything you need to achieve this style. If you don’t want to buy straight from the store, get creative and craft your own looks. It’s all about collecting items and knick knacks here and there and finding a place for them to live in your home. Open window panes perched on wall shelves, wrought iron lanterns, and galvanized metal tins to hold blankets, books and potted flora and fauna (real or artificial) all add to that level of simple sophistication with this style. If your personality is bright, bold

and bubbly and you want your home to reflect that, chances are you won’t find a kinship with farmhouse design. However, if you are looking for a fresh take on your humble abode, consider the popular, but by no means overstated style that replicates a quiet, country life that is relaxing, laid back and charming.

Make Your Home Cozy And Chic For Fall BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

HGTV organizing expert Jill Pollack may have a spot for everything in the home, but she also has a keen eye for designing each room as well, especially when it comes to hot styles and trends of the moment. “To me, farmhouse style and décor means a lot of things. I think rustic, charming, unfussy and unfinished, but I also see practical, old school and comfortable in that style aspect as well,” said Pollack of the design trend that has captivated homeowners and decorators. As with any interior design style, there are certain elements of a farmhouse-themed room that are typical when decorating. For example, reclaimed wood, barnboard details and big, comfortable furniture will always make an appearance. The same goes for galvanized metal, wrought iron accents, vintage accessories and plush blankets and pillows in neutrals, taupes, sage greens, cocoas and light

gray colors. For Pollack, every detail of designing a room is important, right down to where everything goes.

“For cute and decorative ways to store things in keeping with the theme of your room, there’s so much you can

do,” she said. “Think mason jars for make-up brushes, Q-tips and utensils and galvanized metal containers for categorizing food, supplies and toys. Use burlap bags for decorative accents and wooden milk crates for magazines.” Pollack also recommends using an old wood ladder for shelves or displays, cookie jars for soaps, coffee pods and dog treats and wicker baskets to store toilet paper and towels. Autumn is a limbo season where it’s not yet too cold but still a bit warm, so think about what goes into storage. “It’s time to put away tennis rackets

Depending on the item, toss in a few cedar balls to protect from bugs and smells and always store in a dry place.” Make a list of what you might need next season and look for pre-season sales. When you’re done with your list, cozy up and enjoy the warmth and wonder that comes with autumn.

Under Foot Walk on the surface of the latest flooring trends BY LOUIS IANNACO

editoriaL@antonmediagroup.com

ith the crisp winds of autumn sending a chill through the air, so comes a sense of renewal. For those seeking a fresh start with the purchase of a new house or looking to change things up a bit in their present dwelling, plenty of flooring options abound. For some, what’s on the floor is inconsequential; after all, it’s the colors, textures and materials on the walls and furniture that people notice first. But for others, perhaps those with a more discerning eye for design, the floor is the foundation of what they hope becomes a comfortable and beautiful forever home, not just a house or space to live in. When exploring fashionable flooring options, the offerings have evolved dramatically in recent years. Hardwood is getter rougher, carpet is getting softer and more resilient, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), created with the latest technology, has surprisingly become the fastest growing flooring segment today. It’s not your grandmother’s linoleum floor anymore. Here’s a comprehensive guide to a plethora of options.

This Armstrong Hardwood Birch floor features 5-inch wide plank engineered hardwood in Golden Blonde.

whitewashed selections put people in the mindset of beach resorts and other tropical locales. Another popular hardwood trend is wider planks. Today’s homeowners love this look, and are now using widths as high as five to six inches, whereas before two inches was the norm.

Reclaimed Wood

Luxury Vinyl Tile

Another growing practice is the use of reclaimed wood, which is extremely popular in the farmhouse trend and features wood’s inherent natural character and imperfections. Consumers also like it because it’s eco-friendly, as it’s recycled from old logs, beams and antique floors. Reclaimed wood choices can be expensive, but manufacturers have answered the call with machine made distressed wood, many of which are produced by scraping chains over the surface to mimic a weathered look.

The state-of-the-art technology utilized by resilient flooring producers in recent years has given vinyl floors a whole new look, allowing homeowners to place it in a growing number of applications throughout the home. The fastest growing flooring category during the last few years, LVT allows homeowners to put the natural look of wood and ceramic on their floors at a fraction of the cost of the real thing, much like laminate floors but at an even lower cost. LVT comes in planks and squares, and features realistic textures never seen before in the resilient-flooring category.

Hardwood Along with ceramic tile, hardwood flooring has taken a bigger piece of the market-share pie when it comes to flooring sold during the past two

Homeowners want to bring nature indoors, and with these two hard surfaces, they’ve been able to do just that. With the rise of great rooms or open concept that brings kitchen and family rooms together into one large space, it’s becoming routine to see wood in kitchens and other applications, where they hadn’t been before. The practice of ripping up carpet and refinishing

the wood surfaces underneath is now commonplace. Several hardwood styles are popular today, including darker offerings, such as ebony, espresso as well as hickory, cherry and walnut, which are often used to offset a home’s light decor. Other popular color options include whitewashed and gray, which has surged in design trends recently, not just hardwood flooring, while

An easily renewable resource since it is harvested from a quickly renewable crop, bamboo’s color options have skyrocketed in recent years due to new manufacturing techniques, which have produced both an array of colors and plank widths. Strand-woven bamboo is currently a popular option in this segment. Manufactured differently than traditional bamboo flooring, strand-woven bamboo features strips of bamboo, which are coated with resins then compressed with heat to form timbers that are then milled into flooring. This process produces bamboo flooring that is twice as hard as the traditional version.

Ceramic Tile Ceramic tile continues to get larger and larger, both in popularity and in actual size. Tile in formats as large as 12-by-24 inches, 24-by-24 inches, 36-by-36 inches—and even larger—are becoming a favorite with designers and architects, especially on the commercial side since there’s less grout to clean, and they add an expansive look for consumers’ floors. Tiles that mimic the look of wood have been the fastest-growing trend

in this segment for years, followed by fabric and concrete looks. Porcelain offerings currently rule the ceramic tile landscape with fast-surging trends, including plank formats, the mixing of various textures and products featuring recycled content.

Wide Planks Mentioned earlier as a hot trend in hardwood flooring, wide planks— generally considered five inches or larger— offer consumers an authentic, rustic feel, as many come distressed or hand-scraped, but wide planks have also made their way into segments such as laminate and LVT. Wide plank laminate floors are available in almost every color and style, with some even coming in handscraped wood looks and random plank patterns. When it comes to LVT, many planks are wider than six inches and mimic the look of real wood. So, whatever your taste, materials, colors and textures are available to suit every style.
