Note from the Editor As we fall into a different season, we begin to refashion our space to prepare for the new time of year. With the cooler temperatures and darker days upon us, most start to crave the feeling of calm and comfort. This sentient is reflected in this year’s interior home trend as contractors and owners are focused on creating cozy retreat-like-rooms in the home. Although this can seasonally be achieved through accessorizing, turn to page 14 to read about how a coat of paint can offer another easy and economical option. The perfect complement to this polish is moulding. The pages of our feature It’s In The Details on page 28, are full of ideas on choosing the right moulding so that you can help elevate and transform any room of the house. We hope you enjoy this issue of Ideas and all the very best building material products it provides!

Darker days and cooler temperatures call for the need to warm one’s environment, and create a comfortable space to escape to after a long day. Written by Danila Di Croce
With the hustle and bustle of summer packed away, and the brisk fall winds blowing in, it’s only natural to feel the desire to grab a blanket and cozy up in one’s home. Darker days and cooler temperatures call for the need to warm one’s environment and create a comfortable space to escape to after a long day. Hence why this year, the main focus of interior design for the home is centered on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. While homeowners may do so by adding a few accessories here and there, another great option to consider, that is both easy and economical, is a change in paint colour.
choices, selected by Para’s Colour Journey designers specializing in design and fashion, include tones such as, delicate lavender-infused Glamour (405 A) and darker slate stone Malachite (405 E); such colours strike a sense of “calm, cool, sophisticated serenity” rendering any room in one’s home inviting and appealing. “Our goal was to choose colours for our palette that are both calming and liveable to give your home a sense of inspirational design,” explains Belfall. In turn, this design trend nods to the Scandinavian ideology of, “Hygee,” a concept involving feelings of coziness, comfort and contentment.
Scandinavian Way of Life
Touch of Luxury
Colour trends are based on a number of factors. Gary Belfall, Marketing Brand Manager for Para Paints, explains, “Various things influence colour trends. For example, what is going on in the world, people’s moods, current ideologies; one big influence for this year is, Scandinavian design.” Known for its simplicity and minimalism, Scandinavian design evokes modern neutrals, which is exactly what the 2018 Para Paint Serenity Palette reflects. These colour
Scandinavian design may be minimalistic but with that simplicity comes a sense of luxury. As Belfall states, “You don’t need many things in your home to have a luxurious design or feel.” This design rule extends to colour choices, as well. The 2018 Para Serenity Palette suggests using neutral, minimalistic tones such as whites and soft pastels as the foundation of a room, and then adding in that touch of

opulence through customized wood stains and deeper jewel tones. “The way to implement colour into a room - especially with the Scandinavian design minimalist approach - is to balance it with cool whites or off white tones,” explains Belfall. “Many of the colour choices in the palette are dark, so you don’t want to do the whole room that colour as it may close it off; thus, you balance it with opposite whites or lighter version of that colour.” Sico paint brand by PPG is also embracing the darker tones this year, and suggests adding a touch of elegance through their 2018 Colour of the Year - Cast Iron (6173-83). As Mylène Gévry, Senior Marketing Manager for Sico states, “This colour is hard to ignore and provides a certain grandeur or simplicity to a space because of its flexibility.” Misty Yeomans, Colour Marketing Manager for Sico, adds, “It brings solace and a peacefulness to any space, creating a haven in which to retreat from our alwaysconnected, high-pressure society. It’s versatility in pairing with other colours adds to it’s allure in home decorating.” This colour, which was unanimously selected by PPG’s more than 20 global colour stylists, can be combined with bolder colours like Sico’s dark burgundy hue, Venetian Wine (6082-85), or contrasted with lighter tones like off-white, Ground Coriander (6218-21). As a further suggestion for that touch of elegance and luxury, the brand promotes combining this colour palette with brass or gold accents.
Coordinating it All Selecting colours for one’s home is not easy - especially with today’s modern architecture. “Now more than ever, individuals are having a hard time choosing colours for their home due to open concept designs,” explains Belfall. “This is why we come up with a sub-palette of colours within each trend palette,” he continues. “This provides a subset of colours that people can choose from as they all tonally match.”

However, floor plans are not the only thing one should consider when trying to scale down colour choices. Instead, one should also analyze aspects such as lighting, appliances, and window coverings when choosing paint colours for one’s home interior. For example, Gévry points out that, “Sico Paint’s Cast Iron colour perfectly complements the various trending black building materials and home accessories [currently seen] in the marketplace.” Lastly, if you’re not sure how to offset contrasting colours in a space, including those of wood finishings, one way to do so is through the art of colour blocking. According to High Point Market Style Spotter, Bria Hammel, as stated

FALL 2018 17
in the Summer/Fall 2018 Style Report, colour blocking has ranked as a major trend over the last five years. “This year, we see it...expressed in pastel stories, subtle patterns and on more traditional frames.” This is an especially big trend for wall design, but also, when juxtaposing kitchen cabinetry with counter finishes. Creating a serene retreat from the cool fall weather and busyness of everyday, has never been easier. With so many paint colours and design styles to choose from, it’s simply a matter of choice in how one would like to design their home sanctuary.

The right moulding can add polish, inject character and elevate a living space. Written by Melissa Campeau
It’s been said that attention to detail makes the difference between something good and something great. When it comes to interior finishings, moulding can be that difference maker. And choosing which mouldings to use can help to transform a room from dated and drab to fresh and modern.
Sleek and Simple In recent years, the moulding of choice for the homeowners’ market has been contemporary in feel, with sleek, unfussy lines. “A simple silhouette is still very much favoured across Canada,” says Kelley Scott, Director of Corporate Marketing and Development with Alexandria Mouldings. The mass marketing of home design—thanks to wildly popular TV shows and social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest—means consumers are in tune with what’s possible, and keen to make it happen. “Inspiration for the end consumer has become so freely and easily accessible that they are much more aware of what they want for their homes,” says Scott.
As a result of that influence, notes Courtney Mackay, Shareholder with Moulding Warehouse, “Clean lines, simplistic design—that’s what we’re seeing in most new builds and renovations.” She adds, ”Products such as flat stock and mouldings without profile are being used in place of detailed casings and baseboards.” “Crown and profiled mouldings with a simplified silhouette have gained in popularity over their more extravagant counterparts,” says MacKay. She adds, “I believe this is due to the new appreciation for minimalism and the appreciation for the old ‘less is more’ adage being adopted into the interior design scene.”
But with Some Flair While a simplified silhouette is the biggest trend, there’s still room for a little variety. “We’re starting to see designs merge and blend together a bit, to give the clean lines of today’s contemporary styles a bit of a traditional flair,” says Michelle Downey, Director, National Accounts Canada at Metrie.
IDEAS
FALL 2018 29
The modern farmhouse provides a clear example of this. “In this home, crisp clean lines with minimal details have merged with rustic elements, that add texture without taking away the pure simplicity of the modern farmhouse design,” says Downey. “Crown, window treatments, baseboards and shiplap all enhance the look while keeping the space warm and inviting.” For some homeowners, traditional looks will never go out of style. “The classics like colonial will always be around,” says Scott. “There are a lot of different tastes out in the market so it is important to have both classic and trendy products available.” She adds, “Everything is cyclical though, who knows what might come back into style in 10 years!”

Mackay notes that elements of the colonial style—big in the 1990s and 1980s—are beginning to pop back up again, in the form of panel mouldings. “Panel moulding details are an elegant and subtle way of adding some romance to your space,” says MacKay. For example, the bedroom is minimalist but there’s a warm vintage look thanks to the delicate panel mouldings and traditional baseboards. In more contemporary spaces, “Accent walls with geometric designs are very popular at the moment,” says MacKay. “And shiplap, the rustic yet modern take on wall paneling, really has been one of the biggest trends we’ve seen come out of the market this year.” Given its popularity, manufacturers are working to make the product as simple as possible to use. Moulding Warehouse, for example, makes shiplap out of MDF for quick and easy installation. Alexandria Mouldings is offering a reversible rustic shiplap (one side is a shiplap profile, the other side is a flush joint) with a locking joint, which means there’s no need to get out the glue or fill nail holes.
IDEAS
FALL 2018 31
Beyond shiplap, moulding products are being used for other design accents, as well. People are looking to differentiate their home from the ‘track build,’ says Downey, and opting to incorporate ceiling and wall treatments. “Mouldings can be added to create an elaborate coffered ceiling, or smooth S4S boards can be added to the ceiling to break up the flatness, add dimension and create the illusion of space within a room while introducing texture,” says Downey. She adds, “These architectural elements can be customized and designed to blend in with the homeowners taste and style.”
Responding to Customers With such a spotlight on moulding, many businesses have taken steps to make choosing interior mouldings even easier for customers. Alexandria Mouldings, for example, has grouped its entire wall covering products into a branded program called ‘Surfaces.’ “Sometimes these products get lost in a sea of mouldings, so having them called out specifically in a program should prove helpful when trying to make a buying decision,” says Scott. At Metrie, the company has curated a series of interior product solutions (with the help of interior designers) for doors and mouldings that match the most searched trend terms on Pinterest, Houzz and Google. “We’ve studied and researched this purchase journey and identified the pain points in order to close the gap between inspiration and execution, and enhance the shopping experience,” says Downey.

More Options, Same Big Impact With greater choice, better-organized options, and nearly unlimited sources of inspiration, adding mouldings to interior spaces is a quickly growing land of opportunity for contractors and homeowners. What hasn’t changed, though, is the importance and power of detail—in a perfectly chosen panel, floorboard or piece of crown moulding—to transform and elevate a living space.
