4 New color trends in home exteriors Real Estate

03 5 14

One of the simplest ways to make a big impact on your home’s exterior is with your front door. But if you are tired of the old standards colors, you’re not alone -- experts predict bolder trends this year.

“Exuberant hues will be popular this year as a way for homeowners to show the world their energy,” says Kate Smith, a color trend forecaster and president of Sensational Color. “For those going for a classic feel, colors that are vibrant, yet at the same time, offer comfort, warmth and reliability will reign.”

For homeowners looking to express their “colorful selves,” consider selecting a paintable fiberglass door with a smooth finish. For example, those from Therma-Tru Classic-Craft Canvas Collection and Pulse, feature clean lines, crisp angles and attractive glass configuration options, and are ideal for adding personal expression to a home.

According to Smith, the top five door colors for the "exuberant homeowner" in 2014 include: • Capri: A tropical blue that wakes up natural woods and neutral surroundings, this hue adds a splash of energy.

• Raucous Orange: This color demands attention with its energetic tone and makes the perfect punctuation point for homes with a modern look.

• Dynamo: This flirty violet hue instantly updates traditional color schemes for a trendier home front.

• Relic Bronze: A deep, almost brown mustard color, “Relic Bronze” reflects aged beauty.

• Quixotic Plum: This sophisticated deep purple is where trendy meets timeless.

The top five door colors for those following the more classic trend of comfort, as identified by Smith include: • Georgian Bay: Brighter than dark navy, this step-above reserved blue is a trusted color when it comes to the welcoming message it sends to family and friends.

• Show Stopper: Like classic red at dusk, “Show Stopper” adds a touch of mystery to this bright hue. A slight spin on traditional red, this color warmly welcomes people to a home.

• Polished Mahogany: The deep, rich shade of brown has a staying power that traverses trends and captures a solid feeling for homeowners.

• Classic French Grey: Stepping out of the shadows to stand on its own, this cool, neutral grey will continue to rule the palette in 2014.

• Gulfstream: This bright, modern blue has an of-the-moment appeal. At the same time, it still feels rooted in something familiar and nostalgic for homeowners.

Whether you follow new trends or stick to tradition, don’t forget to take your entire home’s exterior into consideration.

From roof to door, a “top down” approach can help you pick color combinations that are eyepleasing and flow naturally to create curb appeal.

For tips on picking the perfect colors for your home’s exterior, including the front door, download a free copy of Smith’s

e-book at www.thermatru.com.

This year, don’t conform or

be bored. With a paintable door, you can make fresh updates as

often as you like.

Fun ways to improve your home theater experience

Real Estate

03 5 14

We are living in the midst of one of the most exciting eras of television and technology -from edge-of-your seat action series to big game sports. And with more great films becoming available at home sooner, and gaming becoming increasingly realistic, the need for superior home entertainment systems is growing.

In fact, U.S. consumers spent $18 billion on home entertainment in 2013, according to recent statistics from The Digital Entertainment Group.

So if you’re thinking about giving your home any upgrades this season, one change that will increase the enjoyment of your family room or living room is

improving your home entertainment system.

There are a number of fun ways to update your home entertainment system to ensure family movie and gaming nights are extra exciting: Ambiance To get the real movie theater experience, set up your home theater system in a room without windows, such as a basement or interior rec room. If that’s not possible, consider a thick set of curtains to completely black out natural light. This will give your room the right look and feel while enhancing the picture quality of your movies, shows and games.

When it comes to curtains,

framing the screen with a velvet red, gold or purple curtain adds a touch of old time theater elegance.

Consider setting up an automated system that simultaneously dims the lights and draws back a curtain in front of your screen.

If you want to go all out, paint the walls black, maroon or another dark color and install theater-style seating and red carpeting.

Show Time!

Whether playing the newest video game or enjoying a movie in your home theater, remember that bigger is better. Luckily, innovations in projectors are making them a great bet for home

use. A slim design that’s portable and starts up quickly is a great versatile choice that can be used at home, or on-the-go.

Look for options that are low-maintenance and energyefficient. By opting for a hybrid laser and LED light source for your projector, you won’t have to worry about brightness degradation over time as you do with mercury lamp projectors, which lose half their brightness after 3000 hours of use. For example, Casio`s SLIM series of projectors, have a light source that can last up to 20,000 hours, which means less maintenance than lamp-based projectors which require frequent lamp replacements, making operation more

eco-friendly and affordable.

More information can be found at www.CasioProjector.com.

Delight the Senses Now that you have your eyes and ears covered, consider the rest of your senses. Offer family and friends traditional theater snacks.

To invoke the movie-going, consider an old-fashioned popcorn maker. You may also want to stock your rec room with a mini fridge so you never need hit pause on your game or movie for your next beverage.

With a few tweaks to your space, you can turn your hohum family room into a superior home theater.

12 Tips to make your home’s entryway stand out Real Estate

03 5 14

Impressions count when visitors arrive at your home’s front door. It’s the first and last space they see, and it has the power to make a positive or negative impression.

This season, consider an easy, cost-effective home improvement project that can add value to your home and boost curb appeal -- updating the main door and entry of your home.

Upgrade the Door Start with the basics. Evaluate the look and condition of the front door to determine if it needs to be replaced. A front door should have good energy efficiency features, a snug fit to the frame, and an appealing color.

While wood was once the most popular material for doors, homeowners are shifting to alternatives. And for good reason -- a secure fiberglass door, such as those from Therma-Tru, can resist denting and scratching, is easy to maintain, is energy efficient and can help keep your home quiet.

Smooth fiberglass finishes are available for painting along with a variety of woodgrain finishes that have the look of wood, but all the benefits of fiberglass.

More information on their ENERGY STAR qualified doors can be found at www.ThermaTru.com.

Trim the Door Consider transforming a hohum home entry into a stylish entryway in less than an hour.

With a door surround kit, such as those from Fypon, you can accessorize your entryway in various architectural styles. Available in Craftsman, Colonial,

• • • • • •

Stone and Empire styles, each kit offers weather-resistant polyurethane pieces that resist rotting, warping, cracking, insects, moisture and peeling.

The kits include trim, such as pilasters, crossheads and keystones, and are a dynamic and quick way to enhance an entry

door.

As an alternative to a kit, you can order durable pilasters and pediment pieces individually.

This allows you to select from dozens of decorative pediment designs to top off your door, such as a sunburst, rams head or peaked cap. For more informa-

tion, visit www.Fypon.com.

Add Some Flair To complete the look of your warm and inviting entryway, don’t forget to stain or paint your door to complement your home’s exterior, as well as select decorative or privacy glass for the doorlites and sidelites. Next

step, add some potted plants and a colorful welcome mat and you’ve transformed the look of your home entryway.

With a few easy upgrades, you can give your home a fresh new look that will leave a lasting impression.
