Small changes can have a big impact Door knobs, drawer pulls pack a punch Melissa Rayworth The Associated Press It’s a small thing, often overlooked amid major items like fur niture and paint colours when you’re decorating a room. But don’t underestimate the power of household hardware. These small items — doorknobs, drawer pulls, cabinetdoor handles — are “the jewelry” that can add style and sparkle to any space, says New York-based interior designer Young Huh. Just as the right necklace can turn a simple dress into a fashion statement, a striking new set of knobs on an old cabinet, or vintage crystal doorknobs, can bring a huge dose of style to your home with minimal expense, she says. In many homes, these hardware items are mostly ignored. Interior doors may have mismatched, inexpensive knobs that were installed at different times. Drawers and cabinets may have functional but unappealing knobs or bars. Swapping these items out is often easy, and Los Angeles-based designer Betsy Burnham says her clients

A master bathroom in a residence in Beverly Hills, Calif., is adorned with Asian-inspired metal drawer pulls, a favourite design choice of interior designer Betsy Burnham. are frequently surprised at the visual impact of something as simple as carefully chosen hardware. Last summer, she added door pulls made of rope tied in small nautical knots to the builtin cabinets at a California beach house, inexpensively adding a dash of personality to the space. Here, three interior-design experts — Huh, Burnham and Brian Patrick Flynn of Flynnside Out Productions — offer advice on choosing hardware and using it to coordinate the look of a home.

Trends

One of the most popular styles now is lacquered or aged brass. “Ten years ago,” Huh says, “it was all about nickel: brushed nickel, shiny nickel. Now it’s the resurgence of brass.” Designers are using “bold tones, and things that look worn,” she says, by installing unlacquered brass that tarnishes over the course of a year, or paying extra for “pre-antiqued” brass that already has a colourful patina. Flynn uses a lot of brass, especially “satin or antique finishes, because they’re

more sophisticated and less formal than polished, glossy styles.” In addition, “a newer option I’m seeing and totally love is matte black hardware,” he says. “This is excellent for modern kitchens or for adding dark contrast to an otherwise light and bright space. The matte finish helps camouflage any scratches or smudges you’d deal with on glossy black pulls and knobs.” Another dramatic f avourite of Flynn’s: unlacquered iron.

Sleek, half-moon metal drawer pulls that evoke Chinese design are a perfect complement to the assorted international knick-knacks on this built-in cabinet.

Upgrades and changes

Burnham and her staff recently gave a preteen girl’s bedroom a more grown-up look by “changing the vibe from kind of old-fashioned to Bohemian.”

Their changes included a new set of striped bone-inlay knobs from Anthropologie that gave the furniture a funky appeal.

Small changes Nailheads make their mark Get crafty

Continued from F1 The same approach can make grown-up furniture look just right for a baby’s or child’s room: if you are turning a guest room into a nursery, Burnham says, change the cabinetry hardware to something “sweet or pink or shiny,” or choose knobs shaped like birds or other animals. If you’re shopping, Huh suggests hunting for an affordable piece of furniture and then making it look more expensive by adding dramatic hardware. The range of available styles is enormous and shopping for new or vintage items online is easy. Even if you’d prefer to buy in person, Burnham says a bit of online research “makes your creativity kind of percolate a little bit.” “Just pay attention to dimensions,” she says, because you “may not realize that in person, an inchand-a-half sphere is quite large.” Measure the size and location of the holes left behind by your current hardware, she says. If you buy replacements that don’t match, drill new holes and fill the old ones. Choose hardware that is easy to grab and use.

“Although it may seem small, hardware can make the biggest impact of all elements in a space.” Brian Patrick Flynn

Consistent or contrasting

Take note of all the hardware and metals in a room, including lamp bases, and decide whether you want them to match or if you’d like to inject some dramatic contrast. Either method works, as long as it’s done deliberately. “If you don’t do it consciously,” Huh says, “then it could all look really messy.” “You don’t want to have shiny brass in one case and unlacquered in another and nickel hardware on something else,” she continues. “Having similar tones is a good way to start. When you feel more expert, then mix metals.” In a kitchen, “your finishes should probably match,” Burnham says. “You wouldn’t want the finishes to be fighting just a little.”

“In addition to pulls and knobs, I think nailheads can make a huge impact in a space,” Flynn says. “After updating cabinets and drawers, I’ll also give closet or interior doors a unique look by adding a nailhead border around the perimeter. This can elevate a basic hall closet into an architectural feature.” You can buy nailheads at a craft store or roofing tacks from a hardware store. Then cut fabric batting to size and use spray adhesive to cover the door. Stretch your fabric across the door and attach it with staples. Finally, place nailheads over the staples and secure in place with a mallet or hammer. “Although it may seem small, hardware can make the biggest impact of all elements in a space,” Flynn says. “With so many styles and finishes to choose from and so many available price points, there’s no reason not to update hardware regularly to give a room a fresh new look.”

TIPS

MAKE IT RIGHT

Resurrect your dreary basement

Inspection report can increase your home’s worth to potential buyers

THE HE W WASHINGTON POST Antiques dealer and decorator Loi Thai, who lives and works in Washington, D.C., specializes in home and garden design. In this edited and condensed Q&A, he of offers up a set of freewheeling style tips, from choosing wall colour to pinpointing Swedish style to unearthing your tired old basement’s inner beauty.

Q:

I have a den with oak floors, dark wood cabinets, a brown leather couch, and a dark blue rug. I am searching for a warm cream colour to complement the rich darkness of the room. Any suggestions? A: Without knowing the light in the space, it’s hard to recommend the right colour. How about Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray or Bleeker Beige? Please paint samples on poster boards and hang on the various walls — you’ll want to check out the colours at different times of the day and night.

Q: We have a somewhat dreary basement, with painted wood panelling and musty old carpet from the previous owners. While we’ve been able to furnish it with some nice furniture and a TV, it’s still slightly depressing, and I’m at a loss for what to do with the floors, walls, and support columns. A: First of all, I would replace the musty old carpet (and the padding underneath). It’s hard to get rid of the mustiness, which is most likely in the rug pad as well. How about repainting the panelling in a neutral colour, and hanging fun art? For the support columns, you can have a carpenter frame them out with stock moulding.

MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

DONNA ONN GRIFFITH/H ONNA GRIFFITH/ ouse and & Home magazine

Sisal carpeting is a great casual complement to cleanlined furniture, and mirrors leaning against the walls.

Q: I’m considering tile for our basement, but I’m worried it may be uncomfortable when the weather turns colder. What has been your experience? A: I love our tile! Practical for a basement, easy to clean, and holds up well. If you have any issues with moisture, tile is the way to go. For warmth, use a big area rug — something soft and thick. Q:

What do you think are the key elements of Swedish style? I’m hoping to make my house look more like a Scandinavian cottage. A: Definitely furniture painted in greys, whites, blues and greens. Keep it simple and clean. I love whitewashed floors or sisal if you can’t lighten your floors.

Q: I would love recommendations for a floor covering for a cottage — something that would stand up to water, dirt and traffic. Carpeting is out, but maybe a sisal or jute rug might be a good option? A: Sisal is great. Try one with a pattern or texture, which hides dirt better.

Last week I talked about why it’s important to get a home inspection when buying a home. But home inspections aren’t just for buyers — they’re for sellers too. A good home inspection report can help increase the value of your home, decrease the time it’s on the market and minimize renegotiations on the selling price. Let me give you a scenario. There are two homes for sale, both on the same street. Both were built around the same time and both look decent. They each have stainless steel appliances; a fresh coat of paint; maybe the cabinets have been updated, a bathroom or two. The point is they’re comparable, lookswise. Now, in one of these homes there’s an inspections binder sitting on the kitchen counter. Flipping through it, you can see photos of the roof, along with notes that it was redone a couple of years ago and it’s got at least another 10 years on it, so you won’t have to worry about reshingling. Then you see that the electrical, HVAC and plumbing have been inspected and everything checks out; the furnace was upgraded to an energy efficient unit; the air quality in the home is healthy; there’s no mould, no asbestos and the air ducts are clean; the windows have been replaced and upgraded to help save energy, which you can see on the energy bills; the foundation is solid;

ALEX SCHULDTZ/The T Holmes Group The

When selling your home, a good home inspection report that shows that your home’s structure and systems have been inspected, demonstrates to potential buyers a home’s long-term durability and value, which can help increase your selling price. and there’s proper grading and drainage around the home, which means all you have to do, as a new homeowner, is a little landscaping by adding a few plants and flowers. With an inspection report like that — along with the names and numbers of contractors who have worked on the house, product warranties and copies of permits that might have been taken out — it’s easy to sell a house, and at a better price because it minimizes risk for the homebuyer, and smart buyers are willing to pay for that extra assurance. If I was buying a house and I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry about its roof, the electrical, plumbing and foundation; or about mould, leaks or having to replace the furnace and windows in a few years, you better believe I’d be happy. Because I’d be

saving money down the road, and I wouldn’t be forced to spend thousands of dollars just to fix the house in the future. Instead, I could use that money to really make it mine, and make the house comfortable for my family. Finishes are replaceable, and nine times out of 10 new owners are going to change the look of the house, because everybody’s different and we all like different things. But what’s behind the finishes — structure, quality products, proper installation — that’s permanent, or at least it should be. And if it isn’t, it’s expensive to replace and fix. As a seller, a good home inspection report — along with product warranties and copies of documentation that demonstrate any work done to the house was done right — could increase your selling price by quite a bit, and it

helps reduce the risk of buyers coming back trying to renegotiate the selling price. Why? Because you have a document that shows the true value of your home, in real dollars and cents — and that’s something everyone can understand. Home inspections can be useful tools — for homebuyers, home sellers and even homeowners, too. (There’s no telling how much a good maintenance inspection can help you make smarter choices for your home.) But people don’t just need to understand the value of a good home inspection. They need to see it, and the more a home inspection report can do that, the better. Watch Mike in his new series, Home Free airing Wednesdays on HGTV. For more information, visit makeitright.ca.

Polish up that barbecue to tempt buyers When selling, curb appeal extends to the back deck, too SARAH KELSEY NATIONAL POST When Marc and Jen Robinson were looking to sell their Toronto home, their real estate agent advised them to spruce up their barbecue. “He said it would add value to our backyard,” says Marc Robinson, a 34-yearold health-care professional. “The problem is that our barbecue is old and very well used.” So is it worth cleaning the old grill, or better to invest in a new one? “In some cases, neglect can cause a barbecue to seriously decay and start falling apart. In the worst cases, it can even become dangerous,” says Charles Munro of Barbeque Pro Inc. “If your barbecue was purchased for under $400 and is heavily used, you may want to opt for a new cheap one.”

If you would rather try cleaning the grill, Munro of offers these tips: Move the barbecue to an area where water used during cleaning will run off into a garden or drain. Place a tarp under the appliance to catch any large chunks of grease. Remove grills and trays, soak them in hot soapy water for 30 minutes, then scrub each accessory thoroughly. To clean the actual cooking chamber, spray the inside with degreaser. Heat the appliance to 300 F (150 C) and let it sit for 20 minutes. Once it has cooled, it should be possible to spray grime away with a hose. You can also contact your local barbecue shop to see whether they can help clean or upgrade the grill. In many cases, they’ll even be able to replace burners, igniters and grills.

A well-maintained barbecue is more visually appealing that a rusty one. If none of this works and you want to invest in a good unit that you’ll take with you to the new house, Munro advises shopping with a magnet.

In terms of the trends, “gas is by far the most convenient way to grill, however, a lot of people are experimenting with charcoal and smokers.” Unless you think your prospective purchasers will buy your house for the smoker, leave that investment for your new place. Lastly, you may want to invest in a new cover or tools.

Accessories can add character to your garden DEAN FOSDICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Flowers are the face of a garden, providing colour and texture. But a few well-placed landscape accessories can give it character and a dash of personality. Accessories can range from water fixtures, like ponds and streams, to outdoor furniture and appliances, miniature fairy gardens and antiques. Give it some thought, however. “There’s some wonderful stuff out there (to collect) and it’s awfully tempting, but you have to be really careful not to overdo it,” said Linda Engstrom, a landscape designer from Portland, Ore. She advises putting no

more than two or three items in one area. “It gets too cluttered and the eye doesn’t know where to go,” she said. “You need some negative space.” Many of those items can also be high-maintenance and landscape accessories should fit the architectural style of the home, Engstrom said. “I had a client once who had a Tudor house, but who wanted a Japanese garden. That wasn’t such a great idea, but I was able to give her a Japanese-style garden, semi-enclosed in the backyard, and it wasn’t jarring,” she said. Engstrom doesn’t like the trend toward elaborate outdoor living rooms with weatherproof furniture. “I

can’t picture leaving that stuff out there in wet or snowy winters,” she said. “It’s quite a chore to keep it looking nice when placed outside.” Accessories can be used to screen unsightly utility sheds or add some visual flavour to hobby greenhouses, she said. “Put up a pergola and string it with vines and flowers. Add a fountain or garden seat.” Homemade landscaping objects are becoming fashionable again, said Leonard Perry, an extension professor with the University of Vermont. “Making your own accessories may be a great way to save money, a fun craft hobby or family activity,” Perry said. “Making colourful pav-

ers (stepping stones), either with inlaid objects, designs or leaf impressions, is a great activity to involve children.” Creativity also comes into play; finding unusual objects from flea markets, garage sales or your basement and figuring out how to incorporate them into a garden. Landscape accessories can be functional as well as attractive. Consider low-voltage lighting that enhances safety along walks and drives and home security. “Up-lighting” tree trunks or creating a lighting “wash” along the side of a home can add focus and drama, Perry said. “Use lights to highlight fountains, plants and containers in full bloom so they can be enjoyed in the evening, too,” he said.
