Great Ways to Jump-Start

Your Home’s Décor for Spring T

he New Year is a great time to jumpstart your spring home décor. What better way to get inspired than to attend the 45th Annual BC Home & Garden Show at BC Place Stadium running February 17-21? As the longest-running show in the Lower Mainland for renovation, landscaping and lifestyle inspiration and advice, you can expect to go home armed with new ideas and trends. “This year, show-goers can look forward to new products, new features, HGTV celebrities and over 400 experts to help them with their home, garden, lifestyle or cooking conundrums,” says show manager Tyson Kidd. One of the newest attractions is the Westcoast Smart Home by Trinity Post & Panel. A new company from 100 Mile House, they will be building one of their new post-and-panel construction homes at the show. “Also, for the ﬁrst time at the Vancouver shows, HGTV’s Carson Arthur will be appearing,” he adds. REW.ca spoke to a couple of awardwinning interior designers to get a snapshot into what will be trending at the show.

Jamie Banfield, Jamie Banfield Interiors What are your picks for key design trends for 2016? • White and two-tone colour schemes: Kitchens and bathrooms are the features of any home; we are seeing timeless trends in 2016 with white cabinetry continuing to be a popular choice, while other spaces are incorporating two-tone cabinets. We are seeing a lot of wood texture, and bold deeper tone colours in this accent. • Eclectic kitchens: Open concepts and modern conveniences are being mixed with live edge wood product, open metal shelving, textures brick walls, multiple metals and woods to create a versatile, welcoming kitchen. • Adding a bit of nature: Natural texture in any space adds layers and luxury that everyone is looking for. Millwork is being taking back to old roots such as oak, and wire brushes are being used for a natural finish. Large format tiles and big countertop

statements are included in spaces to look like natural stones. What are your tips for creating a gorgeous room without spending too much money? • Texture, texture, texture: Layering texture and adding in raw materials such as stone, wood, live edge countertops, or old beams to craft a coffee table will strike the right balance. • Mix and match: By purchasing a mixture of tables or dining chairs, you can add layers well and be a bargain hunter at the same time. The key is to have something in common – so scale, overall shape, tone and style. • Indoor-outdoor use: Think of furniture and décor that can be used on the patio or in in formal interior gathering, and exterior fabrics that work indoors. Instead of storing patio cushions away for the winter, bring them indoors for a new look. • Hardware is key: A simple way to make any home or space feel more elegant and substantial is in quality hardware. Start with your entry door.

Tips for Sellers: Whatʼs Involved in Selling a Strata Property

Kendall Ansell, Kendall Ansell Interiors What are your picks for key design trends for 2016? • Large light fixtures over islands in kitchens (small pendants are out). • Mixing metal finishes (gold, brushed nickel, chrome). • Interesting tile layouts: I’m starting to notice people wanting to stand out by changing the orientation of the tile or mixing different tiles together. • Heated floors in more spaces than bathrooms, and smart devices being used for frequently. • Formal dining rooms are making a comeback. • Stainless steel in a black finish is popular in appliances. Any great ideas for outdoor decor and gardens? We love outdoor entertainment areas, spice gardens and retreat areas with a hammock or swing for relaxation.

“Gaping Hole” in Multi-Family New Home Market: Consultant to Vancouver Developers

here’s a gaping hole in the multifamily housing market for medium-income baby boomers who are “reluctant” to downsize from their single-family homes, according to development consultant David Allison, author of The Stackable Boomer. In a speech at an Urban Development Institute breakfast seminar February 3 at the Pan Pacific Hotel in downtown Vancouver, Allison told the development industry delegates that, as demand from this massive demographic grows, more mid-level stock will be needed, and it has to cater for the specific needs of boomers. “There will be a huge demand for multi-family from middle-class boomers: the ones who aren’t all that happy about having to sell the house in the suburbs in the first place. But we aren’t building very much for them right now. “You see, as an industry we’re already successfully building and selling homes to the wealthy boomers who want a

concierge and a wine-cellar and a builtin espresso machine in every room. But what about the boomers who can’t afford all that? They don’t want to live in buildings designed for first-time homebuyers: they are scared of trying to sleep just down the hall from a part-time DJ who likes to have keg parties on the weekend. “There is a lack of choice in the market for the boomers who can’t afford the high-end product, and aren’t enthused about the entry-level product either.” Allison explained to the sold-out audience that his research for The Stackable Boomer involved surveying 1,000 North American baby-boomers who have moved from a detached home and have been living in multi-family units for at least five years. He asserted that social acceptance was a major factor in baby-boomers’ buying decision, and that it was important for them to feel that they are still part of the same social group as their peers who may still live in large single-family

homes, as well as feeling like they are a part of the community in their new home. Allison added that luxuries such as spa-like bathrooms were very low on the priority list of his 1,000 survey respondents, and that living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens were far more important to almost all of the boomers surveyed. He described these three rooms as “the show-oﬀ” triangle, as it is where boomers entertain friends and family, and suggested that development costs be concentrated in this area, creating better value for the buyer. Allison also raised the importance of creating accessible, single-level homes to accommodate boomers’ needs as they age – even though the boomers don’t want to be reminded of this, he said, causing a laugh among the

listening audience. “One of the interesting things we found out is that boomers want to know that hallways are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair, or a walker, or that grab rails can be added to the bathroom, for example – but they don’t want to be told that. They don’t want that to be in the sales material. So we have to ﬁnd secret ways to tell buyers this stuﬀ.”
