A BRIGHT COLOR PALETTE USHERS IN THE
New Year 2020, it comes as no surprise that Given the turmoil of 2021, paint companies and professional decorators are focused on palettes of bold and happy colors for the new year.
I
f you plan to refresh your home with a new coat of paint, or to change out accessories, consider Pantone’s color of the year: aqua. This soft blue-green is intended to be used as a room color, a single-wall accent—especially in the kitchen—and/or in cabinetry or furnishings. The company’s entire palette of muted and dramatic shades of blue and green, in fact, reflects a collective wish to add freshness and a pop of color to our lives. A soft gray-blue called Cerulean is said to evoke the color of the sky on a serene, crystal clear day, while French Blue is described as a refreshingly deep shade of azure. Shades of green called Green Ash and Mint are said to be pulled directly from nature. Neutrals remain in style as well, beginning with fresh new shades of gray and beige including an organic olive-green called Willow, a versatile offwhite called Buttercream and a serene camelcolored hue dubbed Desert Mist. An intense blue-black called Inkwell is suggested for a dramatic front-door statement, while a subtle shade called Ultimate Gray is popular for walls and furniture. Other color palettes reflect a similar call for warm colors that promote a sense of calm and wellness after a turbulent year. One such palette features yellow and orange tones to capture brightness and energy, including an optimistic yellow and a vibrant yellow-orange called Marigold, said to be ideal for adding small pops of color via window treatments or painted accent furniture. Another is an array of vibrant pinks and purples ranging from Raspberry Sorbet, a rich magenta color, to a warm shade of violet called Amethyst Orchid, happy pops of color that will add warmth and personality to a neutral room. Both will be appearing soon in a wide range of accessories such as pillows and throws designed to add personality to a bed or sofa. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2020.

BRING IN THE NATURAL LIGHT WITH THESE HOME FEATURES There’s no substitute for natural light. It makes your home feel more uplifting and energized, which is why it’s usually atop the list of requirements for luxury homebuyers. While tall ceilings and oversized windows are sure to let the sunlight pour in, here are a few features that ensure you’ll have an abundance of natural light each day. SOLARIUM
ATRIUM
A solarium is like having a greenhouse connected to your home. The walls and ceilings are often designed entirely with glass and are heated by the sun, but can still get comfortably warm on a winter day. They’re ideal for growing plants that require a full day of direct light and provide an idyllic spot to soak up the sun while doing yoga, curling up with a book or just hanging out with the family.
An atrium is a space within your home that’s either open-air or covered with a glass ceiling. While relatively rare in private residences, they add a striking element to any interior and allow natural light to flood into the center of the home. Originally, they were designed to increase ventilation in houses and are becoming popular once again thanks to sustainable movements, like biophilic design.
SUNROOM
RETRACTABLE GLASS WALLS
Sunrooms are also usually built with glass walls and ceilings, but unlike a solarium, they’re integrated with your home’s heating and cooling system. A major advantage is that this is more of a four-season room that you can enjoy day or night. However, a sunroom requires high-performance glass to retain heat and air conditioning, otherwise, you’ll likely rack up a hefty energy bill.
Of course, nothing beats a retractable glass wall to let the light pour in. On warm, sunny days, you can easily open it up to let the outdoors inside and bask in nature from the comfort of your living room. Compared to the other options, this is the most practical to add to your home for more natural light without undertaking a major renovation project. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2020.

CREATIVE WAYS TO USE THAT SPARE BEDROOM
If you’re lucky enough to have a spare bedroom, you may want to think of it less as a rarely used landing spot for guests or a place to store extra ‘stuff,’ and more as a blank canvas - a pleasant spot you can use for rest, relaxation, hobbies or exercise, or even as a money-making option.
Consider these inspiring ideas from room designers and creative thinkers:
GET CRAFTY - Do you sew occasionally? Like to draw or paint? Love to do amazing gift-wraps? Fill the room with smart choices of furnishings, storage, tables and accessories to make your hobby more fun than ever. MAKE IT PERSONAL Turn the room into a ma’am- or man-cave, with comfy furnishings, a TV and sound system and anything else you need to make it a cozy, personal retreat. MAKE IT A STUDY - Create a cheerful home office space where you or your kids can pay bills, read online or study without interruption. Install a work counter/desk across one wall, add enough chairs and supply drawers, plus computers and printers as needed. BUILD YOUR OWN LIBRARY - Book lovers can line the walls with shelving, collect books to their heart’s content, install a chair or two and some great reading light, and revel in a private library.
MAKE MUSIC - For parents and/ or kids with a passion for making music, lay down thick carpeting to soak up sound, add a few comfy floor cushions for musically inclined visitors and make room to jam with friends or solo with as many instruments as you wish. START A GARDEN - Wish you had a greenhouse? You can cultivate seedlings in that spare room from the waning days of winter through early spring. Buy ready-made shelving and add light fixtures and supplies appropriate for nurturing baby plants. SWEAT IT OUT - Whether you practice yoga, run or do strength training, you'll be more motivated, better disciplined and more excited about your workouts in a dedicated exercise space. Drag that treadmill out of the basement, add all the exercise equipment you want and go! AIRBNB IT - Make a few extra bucks by renting out your guest room through Airbnb. Outfit the space with attractive towels, linens and toiletries, and make sure your home's Wi-Fi password is prominently displayed.
