IT'S ABOUT THE CHAIRS
We notice dramatic dining tables and beautiful tableware. But if the goal is to have long, lovely meals, comfortable chairs are vital. High-end custom dining chairs can be expensive, says Los Angeles interior designer Betsy Burnham. Prices can easily climb above $800 per chair even before you choose upholstery fabric. But they are made for comfort and meant to last a lifetime. Some homeowners opt for less expensive chairs from online sites like Overstock.com, and customize them with better fabrics. This can achieve a great look. But for comfort, Burnham recommends trying out dining chairs in person. Visit stores and showrooms, she says, and ask yourself: Is someone going to want to sit here for three or four hours and enjoy a great meal in my home? "You want them to want to linger," she says. Comfort means different things to different people, of course. "My least favorite thing is sitting down in a metal dining chair," says interior designer Jaclyn Joslin, founder of the retail store Coveted Home in Kansas City. "It's always cold and hard." You can also get creative with seating. Joslin has an upholstered loveseat along one side of her dining table, and she says that's perfect at the holidays: "You can pile the kids on there." And consider adding seating for other purposes, like reading, if the room is large enough. In the Midwest, Joslin says, many homes have a large dining room and also plenty of dining space in the kitchen. So she encourages clients to add a few larger, upholstered chairs to give the dining room a second identity.

CREATIVE RISKS
Dining rooms that aren't used every day can be the perfect spot to take decorating risks. "Frequently, clients will say OK to wallpaper in dining rooms, and that's a bit of a departure," Burnham says. "They're afraid to wallpaper a space they're in all the time because what if they get tired of it? What if it's overwhelming?" It's also a great room for incorporating family heirlooms, perhaps with a style update, says interior designer Abbe Fenimore, founder of Studio Ten 25 in Dallas. If you have a sideboard or hutch that belonged to a family member, what better place to display it than where you'll have relatives over for family dinners? These pieces are also great for displaying inherited serving dishes or other keepsakes. Creative storage can make your dining room more beautiful, and offer space for things like table linens and holiday serving pieces. Joslin recommends including pieces that offer a mix of glass-fronted display space and closed storage. And Fenimore suggests including a large-scale piece of art on one wall. v

TRICKED OUT with TECH
N
FAMILY FEATURES
o luxurious home upgrade is complete without the enhancements of modern technology. High-tech and intelligent devices lend ease to everyday activities and enrich your ability to enjoy the comforts of home. With new products joining this category at an exponential pace, there’s a way to boost the smart function of every room, even the bathroom.
Climate controls
Environmental elements like lighting and temperature are among the first signals your brain processes when you enter a new space. Aligning those nuances with your comfort and preferences is the ultimate expression of personalization.
Bathroom features that take smart living to a whole new level
Motion or voice control sensors make it possible to bring lights to life with next to no effort, while a smart thermostat with differentiated climate zones can adjust to meet your needs throughout the day, perhaps kicking up a few degrees to prevent a chill when you emerge from a steamy shower.
Uncommon commodes
There truly is no limit to the home features that can work harder, faster and smarter – even when it comes to the toilet. If the notion of an intelligent toilet seems extreme to your senses, you may not be alone. “When Americans hear the word bidet, most have an outdated picture in their minds of a standalone fixture, but in fact, the functionality is now built into
16 H O M E M A R K E T DECEMBER 2017
a toilet or attachable seats, and they are simple to use. Once you try one, you won’t be able to live without it,” said Shane Allis, marketing director of Kohler Sanitary Products. “From intelligent toilets to cleansing seats that attach to existing toilets, modern day bidets are for consumers who are looking for an upgrade to their toilet routine.” In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by Kohler, about two-thirds of Americans would choose a toilet that would give them a cleaner, fresher feeling, and 3 in 5 think washing with water would give them a cleaner feel than toilet paper alone. An overall fresher feeling and features like a deodorizer, night light and heated seat have strong appeal, according to the same survey, and those features are all offered in options like the Kohler Veil, an ultimate,
one-piece intelligent toilet with integrated cleansing functionality that provides optimum hygiene and individual comfort. From personal cleansing to an LED nightlight to hands-free opening, closing and flushing – all of which are easy to control on a touchscreen LCD remote control – the toilet brings unexpected options to your bathroom. Explore the available models and learn more about intelligent toilets at Kohler.com/ IntelligentToilets.
Shower with power
Whether it’s a playlist that energizes you for the day or soothing sounds to center you before an important meeting, you can give new meaning to singing in the rain with a showerhead that includes a built-in wireless, removable speaker that you can sync to your smartphone music library. When you take your shower digital, you can actually bring water, steam, music and light together into one sensory experience. Beyond that, it’s even possible to configure your shower to cycle through spa programs that target different areas of your body with varied water sprays and temperatures.
Hydrotherapy haven
A jetted tub is just the beginning when it comes to creating a spa-like atmosphere. Today’s options let you trick out your tub with everything from bubbles and heat to sound and color. Advanced hydrotherapy options use air or sound to massage, soothe, invigorate or relax your body and your mind – all controlled at the touch of a button. Don’t forget the heated back to keep you warm even longer.
Perfect privacy
If you’re blessed with a stunning view out the bathroom window or if you simply prefer the aura of natural light, you may be reluctant to hide behind heavy window treatments. Yet again, technology offers the solution. Shades you can power with a remote control and even film coverings that convert from transparent to opaque with the touch of a button can give you the freedom to embrace your privacy or celebrate the sun’s rays.
Tech-sessories
The big features may deliver the wow factor, but little touches can add up for a big impact as well. Mirrors that recognize your face and voice to deliver customized media, such as news and music, can also be programmed to alter the temperature and lighting while you conduct your toiletry business. Other accessories to round out your high-tech renovation include devices such as smart scales that integrate with other devices to maximize your health and wellness routine. With these tech upgrades and more, you can turn an ordinary bathroom into an entirely new, refreshing experience.

Holiday decor: Retro motifs bring home sparkle, style
By KIM COOK Associated Press
Midcentury and 1970s-'80s motifs are strong players on the home decor stage, and that includes holiday decor too. These retro styles have a different kind of energy than traditional, nostalgic, holiday decor does. No deep and evocative snowy forests here; no minimalist yet rustic urban
farmhouses or hygge-inducing fairy lights. Instead, you'll find more of a sparkly, giddy vibe. This look is all about the holiday party; Santa's riding a rocket instead of a sleigh, and the family tree might be tinsel instead of pine. There are reproductions of vintage ornaments — lots of geometric, teardrop and onion shapes — as well as stars, sputniks, dancing elves and even the occasional dancing Christmas tree.
18 H O M E M A R K E T DECEMBER 2017
In the '70s-inspired collections, there are trees, figures and ornaments encrusted with mirrored mosaics, like disco balls. The Lil Umbrella studio in Concord, California, has wrapping paper printed with retro ornaments in a very midcentury palette of aqua, red, white and gold. The studio's owner, Susie Ostrowski, wanted to create holiday wrap that's See RETRO — Page 22

Save Money Through ENERGY EFFICIENCY A
FAMILY FEATURES
s much as half of the average homeowner’s monthly utility expenses go toward cooling and heating, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For many households, that makes energy the largest home-related expense each month, next to a mortgage payment. Fortunately, numerous technological advances are making it easier than ever to manage home energy use. In fact, the DOE estimates you can save as much as 10 percent a year on energy
20 H O M E M A R K E T DECEMBER 2017
costs by simply adjusting the temperature up or down when you’re away during the day. Installing a programmable thermostat that never forgets to adjust on a busy morning and kicks back on before you arrive home can help you earn these savings and reduce energy consumption.
Home Automation
Newer smart, programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely by internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones.
COST CONTROL
A
state-of-the-art zoned climate control system can be configured to your specific needs, but all the customization options can make it tricky to predict how much your installation might cost. Taking into account these variables can give you a better sense of how much you’ll be spending.
New equipment. Each system includes an outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), controls and parts including the refrigerant line-set, wiring and electrical accessories. Conditioning one room or zone comes at a significantly different price than cooling and heating a home with eight or more zones. Generally, new equipment comes in between $3,000$15,000, depending on the number of zones and size of the home. Labor. This is what you will pay a licensed HVAC contractor to install the system (and remove your old one, if necessary). Contractors’ labor prices vary widely, but expect to spend an amount roughly equal to your equipment cost, depending on your geographic location and the complexity of the installation. Additional costs. Depending on your existing system, you may incur costs for items such as electrical work to install a new 240V outlet ($200-$1,000, or more if your electrical panel requires a new circuit); an equipment pad, stand or brackets for the outdoor unit ($50-$300); ductwork (prices vary greatly depending on the home); and controller options (approximately $200-$300 each). Unique situations. Some homes, such as older homes, high-performance homes and homes in extreme cold-weather regions, often require auxiliary heat or specialized designs or equipment, all of which can impact the cost of the system. However, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Zoned Comfort Solutions, 100 percent heating down to a 5 F outdoor temperature can be attained. Rebates. Some states offer rebates for the installation of more energy-efficient appliances, including HVAC systems. These rebates can help offset some of the upfront costs associated with installing zoned systems. Consider speaking with a professional or researching available rebates in your region before purchasing a new system.

Some models can also monitor your energy usage and system efficiency, providing data to help you make further adjustments to how you operate your HVAC system. Lighting is another major energy challenge. However, smart light bulbs let you adjust your home’s ambiance (and energy usage) with just a couple of quick taps. Paired with motion sensors that detect movement (or a lack thereof) and adjust lighting accordingly, smart bulbs can help reduce the waste of energy caused by lighting unused rooms. Similarly, smartphone applications that connect to other appliances, utilities and home features offer the best of personalized comfort and convenience while providing tools to help minimize your home’s energy consumption.
Zoned Climate Control
If you’re like most homeowners, there are parts of your house that simply don’t get much use or only get used during certain times of the day. Maintaining the temperature in those uninhabited areas can be costly and wasteful. As an alternative, an option such as zoned climate control allows you to stay comfortable in the rooms you use without spending a fortune on energy bills. While a zoned system is generally considered a premium home feature, it isn’t unattainable and actually offers long-term savings, due to its energyefficient operation. The home is divided into zones, designated by floors, rooms or areas – however the homeowner chooses – which eliminates the “all on” feature of traditional air conditioners.
A system like Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating’s Zoned Comfort Solutions offers a true zoning-system with convenient controls and automation, along with whisper-quiet operation. Both ducted and non-ducted units are available depending on the space and occupant needs. Additionally, some models have advanced filtration features to help eliminate allergens, contributing to improved air quality. For a new build, installing a zoned system from the outset is relatively simple. However, zoned systems are also a possible solution for replacing your home's HVAC system or rectifying a problem with a single uncomfortable room. Pairing the system with sensors or remote app controls can bring operating costs even lower through computerized automation.
Renewable Energy
Another option to offset some of your home’s energy and utility costs is generating your own renewable energy through solar or wind power systems. Installation depends on many variables, such as how much energy you use, local codes and standards, and whether the house and surrounding terrain are situated to allow you to capture adequate natural power. For a home under construction, your builder should be able to offer guidance; for an existing home, contacting a local renewable energy organization or state office is a smart first step.

whimsical and fun. "I love retro-inspired illustration because it's such a great way to do that with style and personality, and it brings out a little feeling of nostalgia, too," she a y s . s (www.etsy.com/shop/TheLilUmbrella ) Artist Robin Soltis and her husband, Alvin, run Scotch & Cream, a Los Angeles studio they bill as "all things modern, beautiful, nostalgic, familiar and comforting." "We're both in love with midcentury modern style," she says, "so we create most of our products with that aesthetic in mind." Soltis laser-cuts ornaments out of solid wood so they've got an interesting tactile quality. "Our wood ornaments are a fun throwback to the vintage baubles from midcentury Christmastime," she says. "We hand-stain each piece of wood a dark warm shade that reminds us of the quality materials that were used to make furniture during that period." There are four different designs, and they can be hung as decorations or used as gift tags. (www.etsy.com/shop/ScotchandCream ) Graphic designer Landon Pelt of Dallas does cartoon-style illustrations of '60s-era holiday scenes. "I've been a midcentury modern cartoon enthusiast since my childhood in Southern California," says Pelt. "So when I started drawing, I naturally discovered a 1960s minimalist undertone combined with Palm Springs-style architecture in my artwork." The scenes depict kicky, Jetsons-era holiday soirees in cool midcentury abodes. Pelt says he leaves out facial features on his cartoon revelers "so that no matter what you look like, you can see yourself attending the chic cocktail parties thrown by my kitschy little friends." Illustrations can be ordered on throw pillows, canvas or poster prints. (www.strangelittleonion.com ) If you're interested in some of the history behind this style of holiday decor, have a look at Sarah Archer's book, "Midcentury Christmas" (Countryman Press, 2016). It offers up vintage ads, articles and background on midcentury designers, as well as some of the era's popular imagery.
