What to do before installing a floating floor Practical, esthetic and economical, floating floors are an extremely popular option with many homeowners. You’d like to use this type of flooring in your home?

Read on.

QUALITY COUNTS When buying a floating floor, choose a good quality product, especially if you want to put it in a busy area such as a hallway. Damage to a single board could require you to completely remove your floor in order to install just one new plank.

UNPACK AND WAIT Once you have purchased your flooring, place the boards in the room where they are to be installed. Open the packaging and wait at least three days. The reason?

The wood will have time to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the room, making it easier to install. That said, floating floors are not recommended for high humidity areas such as basements.

PREPARE THE SURFACE After removing the existing flooring and the baseboards, trim the bottom of the door frame: using a saw, remove the equivalent of the thickness of your new floor plus an extra 1.5 mm.

Then install the subfloor membrane according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Now you’re ready to install the flooring.

Choose a good quality floating floor, especially if you plan on installing it in a busy area.

Seven tips for the ultimate walk-in closet

Use a professional renovator if you’re not used to doing this kind of manual work.

They have the necessary experience and equipment to install your floating floor properly.

What fashionista has never dreamed of owning her own walk-in closet? A spacious area for storing clothes, shoes and accessories will make even the most meticulous of people happy. Here are seven tips for creating an optimal layout in your walk-in.

7. If you’re a shoe addict, place your collection on a shelf or in open compartments in order to protect them. You’ll also be able to find the perfect pair for your outfit with one quick glance.

1. Plan separate sections for each category of clothing: long dresses, business suits, casual wear, underwear, coats, etc.

2. Opt for short rather than long horizontal rods, as they are sturdier and will simplify your search for clothing.

3. Avoid overloading rods, drawers and shelves. If possible, sell or give away any clothing that you haven’t worn for at least a year.

4. Allow as much natural light as possible into the room, or install enough lighting to be able to distinguish the most subtle colours. Who wants to realize — in the middle of an important meeting — that his navy blue tie is actually black?

5. Make room for a chair or even an armchair and at least one full length mirror so you can check your outfit on the spot — and feel like a movie star in your own home.

6. Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room, especially if it is located near a bathroom. You definitely don’t want to end up with mouldy clothes.

A walk-in designed with separate sections is much more practical.

Make your home bigger - from the inside Need more room? Before you consider moving to a larger home, remember that it is often possible to optimize your interior space with just a few renovations and simple modifications. Here are a few tips.

1. KNOCK DOWN SOME WALLS It is normal to feel a little cramped in a house where all the rooms are enclosed.

Having lots of walls creates a barrier, both visually and in terms of movement. For these reasons, many architects and designers favour open floor plans.

If this idea appeals to you, you could ask a couple of renovation professionals to inspect your home and identify which walls can be removed without affecting the soli-

Backsplashes that enhance a kitchen

dity of the structure. A load-bearing wall can be removed, but it will take more time and money. Check with your municipality to find out if a permit is required for this type of renovation before starting any demolition work.

2. OPTIMIZE STORAGE To help increase available space in your home, go through every room and decide what could be stored more efficiently.

Could all those pairs of shoes lying around on your floor be kept on a shoe rack in the closet? Could the DVDs that are gathering dust in your living room be stored in the garage or the attic?

3. HANG SOME MIRRORS In addition to capturing light, mirrors give the illusion of space. Hang some large mir rors in cramped rooms to create an instant feeling of spaciousness.

Just re member to check what is reflected in them.

Where home decorating is concerned, the space between your countertop and your cabinets is the perfect place to express your personality. Backsplashes are more popular than ever and are elements that can transform the look of the most important room in your home.

1. BRICK A brick backsplash gives an instant traditional, Europeaninspired cachet to your decor. The installation requires a layer of cement, or mortar, and the kind you use may differ depending on the material the wall is made of. Ask an expert about how to proceed.

2. HARDWOOD Hardwood gives a warm, Zen touch to any decor. However, this material must be suitably waterproofed when used as a backsplash so it doesn’t get damaged by the inevitable splashes.

3. DECORATIVE TILES Stores stock decorative tiles in a wide variety of sizes, styles and colours. With geometric patterns, glass and ceramic imitations, there’s something for everyone. If you have a limited budget and aren’t very handy, self-adhesive wall tiles are easy to install and give a nice effect at a reasonable price.

4. WALLPAPER AND GLASS Hang some gorgeous wallpaper and then have professionals cover it with a glass panel to create an eye-catching backsplash. The made-to-measure glass panel will protect your wallpaper while providing a beautiful, transparent finish.

Compliments, guaranteed.

You can create a more open living environment by optimizing storage and tearing down a wall or two.

Whether they’re colourful or understated, backsplashes add character to your kitchen.
