KEEP CALM & DECORATE ON 10 tips for creating serene spaces in your home CATHY HOBBS | TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

For most people, home is the place where a day starts and ends. Instead of the home being a place of clutter and chaos, how can you truly make it an oasis? The key in essence is to create a sense of calm, which can be achieved in different ways. Here are our top 10 tips:

USE GREENERY Succulents, trees and plants can help improve overall indoor air quality.

INTEGRATE A NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE Adding earth tones goes a long way to add warmth and coziness to a space. Consider warm shades of brown, green, yellow and red.

CREATE COZY AREAS Create a relaxation area in your home speciﬁcally dedicated as a place to recharge.

FIND A RELAXATION FOCAL POINT Even if you don’t have a ﬁreplace for everyone to gather around, you can still rearrange your space to create a focal point that can serve as the hub of relaxation activity. This could be done as simply as creating a cozy room or an attractive communal table.

INFUSE SCENTS In nature, each season brings a fresh fragrance and scent. Fragrance also can help

provide a sense of calm. Consider infusing calming scents into your home such as lavender, mint, juniper and sage.

Natural light not only impacts moods; it helps enhance lives.

INCORPORATE NATURE

Nothing signals calm and relaxation more than candles.

Natural elements such as wood can help warm a space.

PROVIDE COMFORT When in doubt, add a cozy throw or plush pillows. A chaise lounge can create a space for relaxation.

ADD CANDLES

UNPLUG Electronics usage is not only distracting but a counterbalance to relaxation. Carve out a section of your day for device-free “me” moments.

BEST ALEXA DEVICES Cheap but quality products to turn your home into a smart one CONTENT AND PHOTOS PROVIDED BY CNET

Ten years ago, smart homes were expensive, with the original Amazon Echo costing $180 and the original Nest Learning Thermostat clocking in at $250, and that’s just for starters. But it’s 2020, and smart homes are more affordable than ever. It’s incredibly easy to snap up cheap Alexa devices to power your home. In fact, you can make an Amazon Alexa-powered smart home for less than the original Amazon Echo cost. Here are CNET’s choices for the cheapest and best products to do it.

EXCELLENT

AMAZON ECHO SHOW 5 The good: The Amazon Echo Show 5 packs a lot of features into a compact smart display that can easily ﬁt on your nightstand. The sunrise alarms make getting out of bed easy. The new smart home control panel gives you a handy way to control your gadgets with a touch. Plus, you still have access to all of Alexa’s voice commands and a few handy privacy features like a physical shutter. EXCELLENT

AMAZON ECHO FLEX The good: The Echo Flex is super cheap. Its USB port allows for ﬂexible usage. The plug-in design means you can put the Flex almost anywhere in the house. The bad: The small speaker isn’t built for high-quality music playback. Echo speakers pose legitimate privacy risks.

The bad: The similar Google Nest Hub is better at showing off your pictures, walking you through recipes and organizing your smart home. The Show 5’s screen is a little too bright for a darkened room. You can’t customize your snooze times, see your commands or set a sunrise alarm outside of certain hours.

##### CNET rating: 4 stars out of 5

OUTSTANDING

AMAZON ECHO DOT (2018) The good: The new Echo Dot looks and sounds better than ever, and now you can pair two together for stereo audio. The ongoing space race between Alexa and Google Assistant means it’ll keep getting a steady stream of new features. Best of all: It’s still just $50. The bad: It doesn’t come in any fun colors like the Home Mini does, and it doesn’t feature any new hardware tricks, either. Aside from the new look and the stronger sound, it’s just the same Dot as before.

#####

The cost: $69.99 to $89.99

#####

CNET rating: 4 stars out of 5

The bottom line: The bottom line: The Amazon Echo Show 5 isn’t quite as good as the Google Nest Hub, but it’s a solid smart display that’s particularly compelling as a smart alarm clock. Simple setup with native voice-assistant integration.

CNET rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

The cost: $24.99 to $30.48 The bottom line: Amazon still has work to do to protect user privacy, but this new Flex boasts some impressive smarts.

WYZE BULB The good: At just $8 each, the Wyze Bulb works with Alexa, Google and IFTTT, and you don’t need a hub to use it. The bulb itself is brighter than advertised, and the app includes useful features like scenes, shortcuts and a vacation mode. The bad: The bulb doesn’t dim quite as low as some of its competitors, and it doesn’t support Siri voice controls via Apple HomeKit. Though you can schedule automated lighting changes at speciﬁc times, the app won’t let you schedule lighting changes at sunrise or sunset, and it won’t let you trigger slow fades, either.

##### CNET rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 The cost: $89 to $99

The cost: $39.95 to $64.99 The bottom line: This is the best Dot yet at the same irresistible price – but it will do little to slow Google’s growing momentum.

STLtoday.com/homes

The bottom line: This is the best value smart bulb we’ve ever tested, and a perfect pick if you use Alexa or Google Assistant to control your smart home.

WHAT TO WATCH A look at upcoming construction trends, from energy efficiency to home automation

THIS KITCHEN DISPLAY FEATURES A PORCELAIN COUNTERTOP, ONE OF THE UNIQUE MATERIALS THAT ARE TRENDING THIS YEAR.

CATHY HOBBS | TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

PHOTO PROVIDED BY DESIGN RECIPES

In January, Las Vegas hosted roughly 100,000 attendees for Design and Construction Week. The event, which included more than 1,400 exhibitors spanning more than 600,000 square feet of event space at the Las Vegas Convention Center, serves as the ofﬁcial kickoff to what’s new in the building and construction industry for many brands. While mostly geared toward builders, designers, architects and other trade professionals, it serves as a window into new innovations relating to the industry. Here are a few of this year’s trends:

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

UNIQUE MATERIALS

HOME AUTOMATION

Energy efﬁciency dominated new rollouts for many building suppliers, especially with HVAC, insulation and hot-water systems. Nearly every manufacturer in this category touted a new product that offers a more environmentally friendly approach. This ranged from tankless hot-water systems and low-emission furnaces to insulation made from materials such as sugar.

Wood, especially reclaimed barnwood or responsibly harvested wood, was a popular material, as was porcelain. Durable and nonporous, porcelain for both indoor and outdoor flooring needs remained, with many companies introducing porcelain as a modern kitchen countertop solution.

While not new for 2020, home automation seems to be a focus for many brands in expanding into more rooms of the home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Some smart bathrooms had features in which one can preprogram their morning routine to include lighting preferences and even a shower that automatically turns on to a certain temperature.

INTO THE WOODS Reclaimed pieces add a touch of history to decor

KIM COOK | ASSOCIATED PRESS

The tale begins in the 1500s, when longleaf pine covered a vast area from North Carolina down to the tip of Texas and the Florida Panhandle – “the largest forested lands in North America,” the authors say. Over the next few hundred years, their pine tree grows to 120 feet. Naturally ﬁre-resistant, it survives storms, woodpeckers, hunters and the Civil War until it succumbs to loggers in the 1880s. The tree is then brought to a mill, shipped to New York and taken by horse cart along cobblestone streets to lower Manhattan. For the next couple of hundred years, its wood frames commercial lofts that hold hat shops and daguerreotype salons. After demolition in the PHOTO PROVIDED BY mid-2000s, the pine PUNCH ARCHITECTURE boards are salvaged by builders to clad the ﬂoors of the Park Avenue Armory and make gym bleachers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As the authors write, “the longleaf that had grown in the South and then went North, ultimately kept roots in both places.” The story describes what could be the life’s journey of many trees whose long-lasting wood was a primary building material in the development of towns and cities. These days, although many new buildings are made of concrete or brick, there’s a resurgence in using reclaimed wood in

everything from ceiling beams to feature walls, furniture, ﬂooring or exterior cladding. Architects and designers appreciate the narrative that salvaged wood brings to a project and the physical charm of planed boards with the patina and markings of their life stories.

various cities’ water towers, industrial buildings and agrarian structures. It also has salvaged framing from mushroom farms; the woods – mostly hemlock and cypress – develop unique characteristics over the fungi’s growth cycle. Company president Jamie Hammel likes the idea that the wood, often used as paneling in residential and commercial projects, is salvaged from an ongoing agricultural process. “So, in a sense it’s a renewable resource, because the farmers are continuously updating and replacing the boards from the growing beds. In addition, the caramel-color wood tones, ﬁne grain and sculptural textures offer a unique aesthetic,” he says.

Solomon and Armster run Sawkill Lumber in Brooklyn, New York, supplying wood salvaged from barns, commercial and industrial sites, and homes to architects, contractors and woodworkers. Sometimes their hardwoods or softwoods are left in their natural state, but the team also “rehabs” beams and boards by refinishing, sanding and giving them coats of protective stains, oils or waxes. In one case, Solomon says, they acquired wood from dismantled Worcestershire sauce tanks at an old Lea & Perrins plant in New Jersey. “The wood is high-quality, old-growth Douglas fir, free of knots, with a strong scent of sauce after re-sawing,” says Solomon, who used some of the wood to clad his own home. The Hudson Co., which has a mill and showroom in Pine Plains, New York, and showrooms in Manhattan and Ridgefield, Connecticut, salvages timbers and boards from

Jonah Meyer, who owns Sawkille Co., a furniture-design studio in Rhinebeck, New York, praises heart pine for its “wonderful stripes. Heart pines come from the beams of America’s first factories, and of course, these were oldgrowth forests that were being cut. Old growth also means slow growth; the rings of the trees are very tight. Nothing grows like that anymore.” Meyer crafts chairs, tables and other furniture, some of which he paints with woodland scenes or decorative motifs. When nature sends something his way, he’ll make the most of it. “Occasionally we find a huge tree that has come down in a storm, so we cut it up for coffee tables and start drying the pieces. They’re amazing to work with – some are almost 45 inches across,” he says. “Over time we get to know the tree, and it’s a good feeling to have saved it from the firewood pile.”

In their new book, “Reclaimed Wood: A Field Guide” (Abrams, 2019), woodworkers Alan Solomon and Klaas Armster close with an imagined recounting of one tree’s story from sprout to salvage.
