Paint your white trim black to make a bold statement

Outside your home, painting the trim around your windows and doors black makes your house’s facade look stylish and modern. Why not bring the concept indoors and paint your moldings and baseboards black? This daring idea will undoubtedly energize the room(s) where it’s applied.

Why do it Your black trim will contrast what-

ever color is on the walls and lend the space a unique look. Ordinarily plain rooms become defined, audacious and more exciting.

Additionally, black trim is great for making points of interest pop. Whether it’s a stunning view, amazing wallpaper or high ceilings, black draws the eye to the things that you want people to notice.

Finally, unlike other bold colors, black will never go out of style. This means that even if dark trim is a dramatic choice, it won’t feel dated in a few years.

How to do it As with other types of painting jobs, preparing the space will take longer than applying the color. Since dark tones tend to highlight imperfections,

taking your time to get things ready before starting is especially important. Begin with carefully sanding, filling holes and repairing damaged trim. Then, using painter’s tape, carefully protect the walls and floors. Two or more coats of paint are needed to ensure even coverage.

How to protect wood floors from inclement weather

ood floors are a worthwhile investment that can improve the beauty and function of just about any room in a home. Even though wood floors are durable, and new protective treatments help seal out many of the things that may have damaged floors in the past, homeowners still need to prioritize protecting their hardwood floors.

Certain seasons of the year can be more harsh on wood floors than others. For example, seasons characterized by moisture and precipitation, particularly the early spring, winter and fall, can be hard on wood floors. The experts at ServiceMaster Clean say that cold, snowy days can damage wood floors, and Lumber Liquidators agrees that winter weather can be harsh on flooring. Homeowners need not give up on hardwood if they live in an area that sees all four seasons. They just need to take a few steps to keep floors looking beautiful. Clean up the salt. Salt that keeps sidewalks and streets clear of snow and ice inadvertently gets tracked inside a home. Hard chunks of salt can scratch wood floors, and, if left to sit, that salt can eventually cause white marks and other stains. Routinely vacuuming and sweeping up salt is necessary to protect wood floors. Invest in shoe storage. Wet or snowy boots can create puddles around the house. Have a special mat or tray by the front door where wet shoes can be kept. A

nice bench in the entryway makes it easy for residents and guests to remove their shoes until it’s time to go back outside. Use water-wicking mats. Homeowners will probably need a few extra mats around to tame errant drips and wipe shoes. Any entrance that might be used by people or pets should be protected. Try to avoid petroleum-based, rubber-backed mats, as they could discolor the wood floor.

Control humidity indoors. Cold, dry air in a home can be problematic because the moisture in the wood can eventually evaporate into the air. The heat will suck that moisture from the flooring, causing it to shrink, creak and splinter and become more brittle. Think about investing in an in-line humidifier for the home’s HVAC system that can keep a moderate amount of humidity in the home. Hardwood floorboards are installed to accommodate minor temperature and humidity fluctuations. This is typically a range of between 60 and 80 degrees F with a relative humidity range of 35 to 55 percent, advises ServiceMaster. Use the right cleaning products. Avoid excessive water to clean wood floors, and select soaps that are specially designed for wood flooring. Consult with the flooring manufacturer for a list of detergents that are safe to use. With proper care, hardwood flooring can survive rain, snow and cold weather.

Why homeowners should add more exterior light to their properties

omeowners are increasingly realizing the benefits of improving the exteriors of their home, which can be just as valuable as improving the interior spaces. As individuals design picturesque garden beds and cultivate lavish lawns or revamp exteriors with architectural features, they probably want to spotlight these improvements. This is where exterior lighting can be put to great use.

Outdoor lighting can illuminate pathways, entryways and other areas for safer access for homeowners and their guests.

Exterior illumination can cast a glow on various features, but there are many other reasons to increase lighting around the exterior of a home.

Safeguard security: A well-lit home may be less likely to be targeted by burglars than one swathed in darkness and shadows. Lights can remain on all evening or be motiontriggered. Setting lights on timers also ensures that the home is illuminated whether residents are home or not.

Safety: Trips and falls can occur at night when trying to traverse walkways and landscapes in the dark, as it can be difficult to see rocks, stairs and uneven pavement.

Extend outdoor entertaining: Ample lighting can increase the amount of time one can use outdoor spaces and make them the perfect gathering spot. As autumn arrives, days become shorter. However, patios, porches and more can get extended use with lighting.

Create drama: Landscape lighting designers can

establish focal points around the landscape and highlight the best features of a property. Uplighting in trees, silhouetting techniques to showcase plants and spotlights to show off architectural features are all options for homeowners to consider. Add value: The experts at Parker Homescape, a landscape design service, say that exterior lighting can add roughly 30 percent to the value of a home. They also indicate that 50 percent of all home buyers say that outdoor lighting is important when buying a home. If current residents are thinking about selling, now may be the time to invest in exterior lighting. Improving a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior may be as simple as adding more lighting to improve functionality and beauty.

Removing wallpaper is a home improvement project that seems challenging. However, with the right tools and a little knowhow, it’s a task that almost anybody can complete. Here’s everything you need to know about removing old wallpaper using either water, solvents or steam.

PAGE A7  Friday, October 25, 2019

What you’ll need No matter which method you use to remove your wallpaper, you’ll need a few tools. These include: • a wallpaper scorer to perforate the paper and allow the solvent, water or steam through. • a scraper to separate the wallpaper from the wall. • a spray bottle to apply solvents and water. • a steamer, which can be rented or purchased. You can also use a clothes steamer. hoW to do it Gather your supplies and get to work. You’ll need to do the following: • Prep the area. Cover anything you don’t want damaged by moisture, like your floors, baseboards, light fixtures and plugs. • Peel off the facing. If the wallpaper is coated in vinyl or plastic, start by peeling it off, if possible. • Perforate the wallpaper. Using your wallpaper scorer, make holes all over the surface of the paper. If you’re using a commercial solvent (wallpaper stripper) or water, do this next: • Moisten a section. Spray the surface liberally with the liquid. Allow it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

How to remove old wallpaper

• Scrape the wallpaper. Using your scraper, carefully separate the wallpaper from the wall. If you’re using a steamer, you’ll need to do this: • turn on the machine. Wait for the water to boil. • apply the steam. Start with a corner close to the ceiling.

• Peel off the wallpaper. As you apply the steam, use your other hand to pull the paper away from the wall. No matter what method you use, you’re bound to be left with a few stubborn patches that won’t come off. Using solvent, scrub any remaining bits of glue or backing from the wall. Once it’s dry, prepare it for a fresh coat of paint or new wallpaper.

Keep in mind that the more feature-laden models come with higher price tags. the size You need If you live in a home with a large laundry room, you may not have to worry about the size of your machine. However, apartment dwellers and those with just a small nook for their laundry area should carefully think about size. No matter what washing machine you choose, opt for one with an Energy Star rating. This guarantees that your new washer will use less electricity and water than their non-certified counterparts.

5 renovations that are better to do in the fall Thanks to its typically temperate weather, fall is the ideal time to complete a number of renovations. Here are some types of projects that are best to undertake in autumn. 1. Update the siding. Nothing boosts your home’s curb appeal like a fresh coat of paint or brand new siding. 2. Repave the driveway. A freshly paved driveway will stand up to the harsh winter weather that’s approaching. 3. Repair or replace the roof. Your roof protects your home against rain, snow and wind. If yours is due for a renovation, fall is the best season to complete the task.

4. Change the windows and doors. Much like your roof, your windows and doors play a big role in keeping your home comfortable and dry. 5. Remodel the kitchen. If you schedule it right, you could complete your kitchen renovation in time to do your holiday baking in the updated space. Most of these projects will increase your home’s value. They’ll also protect your home from the elements and, in some cases, help to lower your monthly energy bills.
