What will kitchens of the future look like?

By KIM COOK Associated Press

Today’s home kitchen doesn’t look anything like it did a century ago. But for the most part, it doesn’t look a lot different than 50 years ago.

Appliances are sleeker, materials are better, color palettes are broader. But the room is still the hard-workAP Photo ing heart of the home.

So what might the kitchen of the future be like? craft a menu.

Kitchen islands evolve to meet today’s needs

By KIM COOK Associated Press

Prep surface. Gathering spot. Storage solution. The kitchen island is one of those home elements that seems to have known its purpose from its inception: a utilitarian divider between kitchen and family zones, the heart of the home.

Over the years, the kitchen island has come to offer far more than counter space.

It might include a cooktop, bookshelves, drop-down bar, sink and acres of granite.

Today’s islands come in all shapes and sizes, and have been tailored for all kinds of purposes. One important addition is connectivity: Designers and architects are integrating plugs, ports and other tech features into the kitchen island.

For one project, New York City designer Michael Wood integrated a system of USB ports and outlets into a kitchen island that also included ample storage, good seating and a clever pet-feeding nook. “The result is a family hub of activity,” he says.

Granite has given ground to more performance-friendly countertops. Engineered materials like Dekton, Silestone, Corian and others are heat-, scratch- and stain-resistant. Designers are using real and faux woods, too. And there’s a trend toward combining different types of surfaces. In another project, Wood used soapstone, butcher block and Corian on the kitchen island.

“An island is a great place to be cre-

ative,” says Chicago kitchen designer Mick De Giulio. “I often combine materials and use them to define various functions.”

For instance, he has used a thick chunk of hand-scraped wenge wood, for example, as a breakfast countertop: “I like the warmer, softer surface to rest your arms and elbows.” Then he might use polished stainless steel as a joinery or accent element.

In a tight galley kitchen, an island might replace a wall, giving a renovated kitchen more breathing room, more light and more work space. Cabinetry and shelving on the island can hold kids’ craft gear, books or barware. Built-in microwaves, ovens and deep, pullout drawers offer efficiency.

In a larger home, the island can serve even more purposes, including breakfast bar, entertainment zone or home office.

Look for seating that complements the

room: Sturdy bases and backrests make for safe, comfy places to settle in, while low-profile stools that slide out of sight might be all you need for occasional use.

Pick pieces with easily cleaned performance fabrics, or go with plastic, steel or wood if you’ve got messy eaters.

Spend some time on the lighting, Wood advises. If the kitchen is a work center, put in task lighting.

“For others who never cook, lighting is almost a decorative element,” he says.

Wood recommends under-cabinet LED lights and directional sconces, all dimmable. Pendants are popular, but if you’ve got a low ceiling, be mindful of their positioning. Minimalist horizontal fixtures that sit just slightly below the ceiling might work better; for instance, Lightology’s Essence fixture, a barelythere sliver of brass or nickel, casts a warm glow but doesn’t loom over the island.

NEW WAYS TO HELP

StatePoint Photo

PROTECT YOUR HOME AND FAMILY

(StatePoint) When it comes to your home, there is unfortunately no shortage of things that can go wrong and no shortage of culprits, from wicked weather to electrical fires.

High winds, plumbing and appliance issues, hail, leaky roofs, frozen pipes and break-ins — these are some of the most frequent causes of property damage, according to Travelers, which analyzed eight years of its homeowners insurance claims.

But experts say that there are steps you can take to help protect your home and family from situations beyond your control, particularly when it comes to some of the most common issues.

“Beyond investing in an insurance policy, integrated smart home technology can go a long way toward helping you protect your home,” says Pat Gee, senior vice president of Personal Insurance Claim at Travelers. “Some of the most common situations we see might be prevented or mitigated with the use of smart home technology.”

Gee points out that with a smart water sensor, for example, you could be alerted at the first sign of excess water where it doesn’t belong and take care of it before it’s too late, or, with a smart motion sensor, you’ll know about unusual activity on

10 HOME MARKET April 2019

your property in real time.

Travelers thinks that smart home technology is a game changer when it comes to protecting homes and property, so it has teamed up with Amazon to offer integrated smart home solutions at a discount to the insurer’s eligible customers. Customers can choose between a Smart Kit, Smart Kit Plus and Smart Kit Premier, which include an Amazon Echo Dot, security cameras, water sensors, motion detectors and a smart home hub to centrally control these devices from one app.

Travelers is also offering discounted kit installation, providing free Amazon Echo Dot devices to eligible customers, and has introduced new Alexa skills to help answer billing questions and provide property maintenance and home safety advice to all consumers, with more skills planned for the future.

To learn more, visit the insurance industry’s first digital storefront at Amazon.com/Travelers.

“Traditional smoke alarms and home security systems are helpful, but there are new, proactive ways to monitor your home, including devices that are easier to use and more affordable than ever,” says Gee. “There has never been a better time to explore smart home solutions that can enhance your home’s security and help provide peace of mind.”

Is your kitchen-sink disposal environmentally friendly?

By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press

If you're trying to be more ecofriendly at home, should you use your kitchen garbage disposal?

It depends.

"Keep in mind that when food is added to the wastewater system, it must be further treated," says Maggie Sauerhage, a spokeswoman for the U.S Environmental Protection Agency.

She suggests learning about your local water infrastructure first.

For starters, the most eco-friendly option for food waste is to create less of it. For unavoidable food waste, consider donating it or composting.

Beyond that, wastewater and environment experts agree that the environmental value of kitchen disposal systems depends on the wastewater system of a given locality. Disposals make sense if your wastewater system is set up to convert food waste into energy, as is the case in a growing number of big cities.

"Any food that is sent down the disposal will be filtered and captured at a wastewater treatment facility. The debris captured are typically sent off to a landfill, incinerator or to an anaerobic digestion facility (for conversion into energy) if one is close by," says Steve Dege, director of material supply chain and solutions at the recycling company TerraCycle.

Joe Dillon, president of Racine, Wisconsin-based InSinkErator, which invented the garbage disposal more than 80 years ago, says disposals are used in more than 50 percent of U.S. homes and in countless food-service operations. He argues that in addition to convenience, disposals are ecologically beneficial because they divert

12 HOME MARKET April 2019

food waste from landfills.

"Using an advanced garbage disposal like the InSinkErator can lessen the environmental impact of food waste by sending the processed food particles — from meat, bones, even banana peels — through a home's plumbing system to facilities equipped to handle them, rather than sitting in landfills and contributing to excess methane," he says. "A growing number of wastewater facilities are installing equipment that allows them to turn food waste into renewable energy. Cities that have introduced this technology include New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee and Tacoma, Washington."

Sauerhage, of the EPA, says that in determining how to dispose of food waste responsibly, consider these questions: Where is the effluent going? Does it go to a wastewater treatment plant or wastewater recovery facility? Has the treatment plant said it wants organic waste? Does it operate an anaerobic digestion facility? What does it do with solids? Is there concern over damaging your household or local piping systems?

The EPA has issued a "food recovery hierarchy" to help consumers. It's a sort of upside-down pyramid ranking possible solutions for food waste. At the top — the most eco-friendly option — is reducing food waste, followed by distributing excess food to the hungry. The next best option is industrial uses for food waste, such as converting waste oil to fuel and food scraps to energy. Then comes composting, either by communities or in backyards. Landfills and incinerators are the least eco-friendly destination for food waste, according to the EPA.

Give Your Space a Spring Refresh Start with upgrades to your home’s design features

T

FAMILY FEATURES

he spring season is typically a time when people are motivated to start fresh. With reorganization often top of mind, it is also a time when many homeowners look for ways to update their homes with improvements that can increase aesthetics and functionality.

From small changes to large-scale projects, these home design ideas from the experts at Dutch Boy paints are all about adding fresh appeal to your living space.

Reorganize and reimagine

Sometimes a space doesn’t require much investment at all, you just need a change of perspective. Reorganizing a room for better flow and eliminating unnecessary clutter can give it a brand-new, updated feel. Consider how adjusting the furniture placement might improve the space, whether it opens up a better walkway or lets in more light. Upgrades are often about adding, but don’t be afraid to take away unnecessary furniture that crowds the space. Also give attention to organization and stash away

items that make the room appear untidy or uninviting.

Artwork overhaul

Furniture and architectural elements may factor heavily into a room’s ambiance, but it’s often the decorative details that tell a space’s true story. If you like the major features of a room but have grown bored with its overall look and feel, swapping out the artwork may be just the solution. One notable benefit of this approach is that artwork is available at virtually every price point, making it

easy to stay within your budget. From DIY pieces to gallery-quality hangings, there are nearly countless ways to achieve the look you desire.

Color correction and odor protection

Changing the wall color is often a style-driven decision. However, when it comes to eliminating stains and odors, paint can also be a functional solution that saves on heavy-duty renovating. For example, Dutch Boy Forever Paint and Primer, available exclusively at Menards, covers old stains, prevents new ones and helps knock back the odors that are particularly pungent during the winter months when everyone is cooped up indoors. The paint features Arm & Hammer Odor Eliminating technology, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and homeowners with pets and kids. Sold in easy-to-use plastic twist-and-pour containers, it offers an easy-to-use alternative to traditional metal cans. Learn more at DutchBoy.com.

Abstract accents

Visually interesting pieces can help breathe new life into a ho-hum space, and making this kind of improvement can be as quick and low-budget as a trip to the garage or attic. Repurposing items in unexpected ways can bring vibrant character to a room. For example, a beloved but discarded old drum makes for a whimsical occasional table filled with memories and nostalgia. Ladders make for attractive bookshelves, or you can use brackets to mount old hardcover books on the wall as quirky, floating shelving. You can even take an obscure item like a bike wheel and convert it into a wall clock.

Open spaces

Although it should never be done without careful consideration of the impact on your home’s value, knocking out a wall can substantially improve your home’s function and appeal. For example, if you have a home with separate dining and kitchen areas, removing the separating wall can create a welcoming space the whole family can enjoy. Opening up a high-use area like the kitchen is a popular renovation choice for all types of homeowners, from those who need to supervise homework while making dinner to others who regularly entertain at home. If knocking out an entire wall isn’t an option, try simply making your home “feel” like it flows better from room to room with complementary color palettes that help visually open the space.
