Beat the Heat IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

There are times during the summer when you have got to have some relief from the heat. And whether fans are sitting on the floor, nestled in the window or hanging from the ceiling, not all fans are created equal. Some are noisy, some don’t really move the air well, and some are simply aggravating. Here’s how you can get some cool relief with the help of some devices that get the job done.

A QUIET COOL

There are few things that make a hot situation worse than a noisy fan. That goes away with the Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan. This is perfect when you need a little air movement or to give your air conditioner a boost. Because there are no blades, there’s no worry about little fingers being hurt. It also has a high-tech style that just looks cool.

For sleeping, a vertical stand fan is a good option. One of the quietest on the market is the Dyson stand fan, but at almost $400, you may want it to do more than blow air. Another option is the Lasko 42-inch Wind Curve. At around $50, you get a tall, space- and money-saving fan that can help you get your cool on.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

A window air fan might be a better answer, but you want one that looks better than a standard box fan propped in the window. For that, the Bionaire Twin Reversible Airflow Window Fan, available at Amazon. com, can move hot air out of the house or cool air in and fits neatly in a window.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

The Vornado Whole Room Air Circulator will help you feel cooler and give your air conditioner a break by being able to raise the thermostat so that it doesn’t work quite as hard.

If you’re just overheating in bed, there’s a fan for that too. The BedJet (www.bedjet.com) has a small fan that goes under the bed, and an attached blower blows air under the sheets.

If you’ve had problems with night sweats or hot flashes or just can’t cool down at night, this could be what you’ve been looking for; it can also blow warm air during the winter, making it perfect for cold toes.

COOL PORTABILITY

You can also try a portable air conditioner. These portable units can be moved wherever you need some extra cooling, such as in the living room during the day and the bedroom at night. The Koldfront Portable Air Conditioner, available at Amazon.com, will cool up to 500 feet of living space and vents out any external window. Cool and efficient and at about $400, you get cool dehumidified air that will help you feel more comfortable.

Another option is the Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioner, which brings the temps down and has a cool look that’s not the same, old white box.

CREATE A STYLISH HOME OFFICE IN A LIMITED SPACE

With more people working from home and the trend expected to continue, many who’ve been co-opting the kitchen table are looking for better ideas.

From designers focused on meeting this need, here are four simple and workable ideas that won’t break the bank:

Create a moveable work zone. Turn the area behind your sofa or in a corner of your bedroom into a comfy work space by day that knows its place in the evening. Start with a lightweight, sit-or-stand desk (many are now available at office furnishings stores) that can be moved out of the way after the work day. A flexible wire shelf unit installed along one wall can hold supplies, such as notebooks, pens and a printer, and you can roll your desk and chair right up against them when it’s time to replace the coffee cup with a glass of wine.

Clear out a closet. The closet in a second bedroom can easily house a hideaway office. Install modular wire shelving along the back wall, add a desk and some extra interior

lighting and keep your office behind closed doors. A rolling desk chair or a balance ball can provide comfy seating, and a small bookcase can easily accommodate files or surplus supplies.

Go for invisible. In the living room, you can create a low-profile office with a glass topped, Lucite or acrylic desk that won’t dominate the space. Even go for a slimline desk you can spray paint to blend in with the wall behind it and use existing bookshelves in the room to hold your printer and supplies.

Use a room divider. Carve out a corner of your living room or bedroom for a small but usable office and conceal it from view whenever you wish. With a stylish, standing room divider or a curtained “wall” strung onto a rod with shower hooks, you can span the width of the space as you desire.

Design Tricks to Revamp Your Home

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to spend a fortune or go to design school to revamp your home. “It’s all about simplicity,” says Susan Yoder, interior design expert for builder Clayton Homes. “A little goes a long way when it comes to home décor and living spaces. Only a few simple changes can make a big difference and allow you to create a room you’ll be itching to show off to friends and family.”

To breathe new life into your space, Yoder recommends these tips:

1. Pops of Color

“Nothing livens up a room like a bright pop of color,” Yoder says. If you have neutral-toned furniture, add lamps, curtains and accessories in bold hues. If you’re up for a painting challenge, an accent wall is a great way to incorporate color into a space. Choose your favorite color from a throw pillow or wall art piece in the room to pull the look together.

2. Varying Textures

A room tends to get boring when it focuses on only one texture, so it’s important to create a sense of balance. Try varying the fabric types on your sofa and curtains. Add in some metal or wooden accents to draw the eye around the room. You can even play with lighting to reflect off certain objects and create visual interest.

3. Antique Feature

Choose an antique or unique piece of décor to be the inspiration for the room. This could be a rug, lamp, chair or even a chandelier – anything that gets you energized and motivated. Get creative and run with the theme it creates. Or if your style is more modern, an antique object will stand out among your contemporary décor.

4. Symmetrical yet Functional

The furniture collection in a room should form a restful, symmetrical layout. It’s all about balance. There should be between three and 10 feet between each seat. Additionally, instead of pushing each piece up against the wall to create more space, give your furniture a bit of breathing room a few inches from the wall. This makes the room appear open and airy.

5. Clutter-free Organization

Getting rid of clutter is a grand challenge for most homeowners. When you decide to take on the mess, drawers and cabinets are your best friends. Take some time to go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate or throw away. Store any leftover items that can cause clutter in an organized, out-of-sight area.

Which One Is Right for You? TRADITIONAL VS. OPEN

FLOOR PLANS:

For years, open concepts have been touted as more conducive to modern living, yet traditional floor plans certainly have their own benefits, particularly for those who are spending lots of time at home. If you’re trying to determine which is right for you, read on to find out what each one has to offer.

OPEN FLOOR PLANS

Great for Entertaining. One of the main arguments for an open layout is that it’s ideal for hosting small get-togethers with friends and family. Combining your cooking, living and dining areas makes it easy to communicate and interact with everyone.

Provide Versatility. Often centered around a large, multi-purpose area, open concept homes offer a lot of flexibility. You can create different spaces, such as a workstation, a reading area and even a media room, all in the center of the home.

More Natural Light. With fewer walls, sunlight is able to flood your home from all angles. If you want a living space that feels bright and airy, an open floor plan will most likely have the edge in this department.

TRADITIONAL FLOOR PLANS

Distinct Spaces. The way that we use our living space is always changing. These days, many luxury buyers are looking for a home where they can work remotely and their kids can learn virtually. If you want separate rooms that are free of distractions and can be used for distinct purposes, a traditional floor plan may be the better fit.

More Privacy. Rather than having one main space where the family congregates, this layout provides more privacy throughout the home. For those who like to have their alone time, this is certainly a benefit. Additionally, it can make your home quieter because there are more walls to absorb noise.

Easier to Decorate. Decorating a multi-purpose space can be a challenge when it comes to getting the flow right and might even require having furniture custom made. Rooms that have a specific purpose, however, are much easier to furnish because the space is more defined.

MODERN KITCHEN AND BATH UPGRADES

Upgrades happen for all kinds of reasons, but one of the most common purposes of a home renovation is to make essential spaces like kitchens and bathrooms more modern.

Modernizing your spaces isn’t just about the aesthetic, although that is a major advantage, especially when it comes to resale value. Updating your kitchen and

bath is also an opportunity to introduce new technology and enhancements that improve the function of these high-traffic rooms.

Modern styles simplify everyday living and can make contemporary entertaining more enjoyable. The sleek lines of modern design lend themselves to a clean look, which is supported by hidden features that make organization easier.

SMART TECHNOLOGY

Although the idea of a connected home isn’t new, technology is steadily improving. This means smart features are now often more affordable, easily integrated into the rest of your home and available to help manage a wider range of household items.

In the kitchen, you can add smart technology in numerous ways, from appliances and climate control to lighting and window treatments. For example, touch-to-open and push-to-open doors and drawers create a sleek, modern design while opening and closing with either a push or touch of a button for convenience.

Similar diversity is available in the bathroom, where you can incorporate connected health and fitness monitors, touchless toilets, mirrors that double as information centers, towel warmers and even showers that automatically adjust to your preferred temperature.

PAINT

Changing the colors in a space is one of the most effective ways to transform the decor, but the walls aren’t the only place where paint can make a big impact, especially in rooms like the kitchen or bathroom, where the cabinetry can make a bold statement.

Black is a hallmark of modern design and installing cabinetry with a black finish can instantly upgrade a room. To create visual interest, consider incorporating accent cabinets in a coordinating finish. For example, you could pair Wellborn Cabinet’s Midtown wall cabinets finished in Matte Ebony with upper center cabinets finished in Putty Oak. An island in Bel-Air can incorporate both dark and light tones for a cohesive look.

DECORATIVE RANGE HOODS

An exposed range hood is a trendy look that can add sophistication to your kitchen. Treating this functional element as a statement piece gives you another place to showcase your style and create a sleek and modern look. If your hood is covered, consider making the cabinet door a focal point with a material such as back-painted glass.

MULTI-PURPOSE SINKS

While your sink has some obvious functions, you can upgrade the space for even more practical use. Some of the latest sink design innovations include built-in features such as cutting boards, colanders, bowls, drying racks and compost areas. In addition, motion activated wastebaskets with separate compost or recycling containers provide hands-free access to reduce unwanted messes.

TOUCHLESS FAUCETS

Public restrooms aren’t the only places you can benefit from a touchless faucet. At home, the feature may come in handy when your hands are full or filthy. An automatic water flow is convenient and can help keep germs and grime under control. For the most ontrend, modern look, coordinate your faucets with other bathroom elements finished in gold hues, such as a laminate veneer vanity in a high-gloss gold finish.

FREE-STANDING TUBS

A luxurious soaking tub is a top demand for many homeowners, and trends are moving toward free-standing options that create a focal point in an oasis-like bathroom. You may be envisioning an old-fashioned clawfoot style, but there are numerous modern takes on the traditional version that can fit seamlessly into your modern design scheme.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO SELL

Part of being a homeowner is dealing with the intermittent thought, “Hmm, maybe I should put my house on the market . . .”

Obviously, deciding to sell your home is no small decision. In fact, it’s right up there with deciding to buy a home in the first place. Before making an irrational decision, it’s important to consider several factors that could influence your choice on whether now is the best time to sell.

Here are four indicators that can help you decide whether now actually may be a good time to list your home:

YOU’RE OUT OF SPACE. While it might be nice to have more room for your shoes, does that warrant a new home? On the other hand, is there a baby on the way? An in-law moving in? If your household is getting ready to grow, it may be time to move on to a house that will accommodate your expanding needs. Make sure to think 10 years down the road when purchasing a bigger home.

YOU’RE IN A HOT MARKET. If “sold” signs are popping up frequently in your neighborhood and prices are rising quickly, it might be worth talking to your real estate agent. If now is the time you can potentially make a big return on your investment, you might want to consider making a move. If nothing else, you can add to your savings with the money made by the sale.

YOU’RE SICK OF YARD WORK. If raking leaves and restaining your deck are no longer considered fun projects, you may be at a stage where you’re looking to scale down to a more streamlined, less work-intensive living situation. Consider townhomes with an HOA that includes yard work and upkeep as a part of dues.

YOUR LIFE HAS CHANGED. If you’ve had a major life event - marriage, separation, new job, retirement - it may necessitate a new home and/or a new location that makes more sense for your new life. Consider whether your current home is still the right fit.
