TOP 5 trendy

BATHROOM UPGRADES that don't cost a bundle

o one ever said "trendy" translates to "cheap." Yet when it comes to on-trend, luxury upgrades, you don't have to spend like a diva to make your bathroom look and function like a designer's dream. From skylights to shower seats, some of the hottest bathroom trends of 2014 are surprisingly affordable to accomplish.

Home website Houzz polled users and asked what bathroom upgrades they most desired. Many of the answers were both luxurious and affordable (like skylights and double-flush toilets). Others were downright easy, such as towel warmers and foot rests in the shower. Here are five hot bathroom improvement trends and some ideas for incorporating them into your home:

SKYLIGHTS Many Houzz respondents said they would like a skylight in their bathroom. They're definitely on to something. In rooms where privacy is a concern, skylights can provide both natural light and ventilation without exposing your personal business to the neighbours. They create a major "wow" factor and can be quite practical. Try an Energy Star Qualified, No-Leak, Solar-Powered, Fresh-Air skylight. They can help trim electricity costs by providing natural light and passively venting moist, warm air from the room. You can create a big impact for a small price with a makeover that only takes a couple of days.

thehomenews.ca

LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR In keeping with the lighting theme, 41 percent of polled respondents said they would like a lighted vanity mirror. Home improvement stores, design studios and online retailers carry a wide variety of options in shapes, sizes, styles and light sources (LED, CFL or incandescent) to suit virtually every taste. Because installing a lighted vanity mirror is a simple do-it-yourself job, it's also a very lowcost improvement that has a big impact on a bathroom's appearance and usability. With such a huge variety, it's possible to find a mirror that will fit your budget, whether it's less than $100 or more than $1,000.

DOUBLE-FLUSH TOILET The ongoing trend of making homes greener may have helped inspire the 23 percent of Houzz fans who said they want a double-flush toilet. Dual-flush toilets allow you to use only the water you need to get the job done - less for liquid waste, more for solids - so they contribute to a home's overall footprint and can help trim water bills. It's possible to find dual-flush options for less than $250, so they're a lower-cost upgrade to begin with. They're even more costeffective when installed by a savvy Do-It-Yourselfer.

TOWEL WARMERS Who doesn't love the comforting warmth of a towel fresh out of the dryer? Towel warmers deliver that effect without the hassle and expense of running the dryer. Wall-mounted or freestanding, plug-in or hard-wired, all towel warmers work the same way; heated bars warm towels hung on the rack, providing a cozy, warm towel every time you bathe. Plug-in versions install easily, while hard-wired ones may require professional installation. Prices can range from less than $100 to more than $600, depending on the style and features you choose.

SHOWER FOOT REST Clearly, this is one improvement that most benefits the women in a home, but 10 percent of those polled by Houzz said they wanted a foot rest in the shower. This one is such an economical improvement, you may wonder why anyone wouldn't do it. Some suction-cup styles cost under $20. For a more refined look or enhanced sturdiness, it's possible to find one that anchors into the wall through screws, or a style built into shower surrounds. If you're redoing your shower stall, it's the perfect time to add a stylish, sturdy foot rest. THN Courtesy of BPC

Consider \creating a theme. Kids of all ages love themes. To decide which one might be right for your project, consider things your child has shown an enduring interest in. For example, she may be into princesses right now and hate the theme next year. On the other hand, if she's always loved the colour pink and has a passion for animals, those elements could be worked into a theme that she'll appreciate for years to come.

Choose flooring that fulfills multiple needs. Carpeting absorbs sound (for when kids play loud video games or music) and is comfortable for youngsters who like to sit or lie on the floor while they do homework, read, watch TV or socialize. What's more, it's available in virtually every hue and pattern imaginable, ensuring you'll find something that appeals to both your design sense and your child's tastes. Stain-resistant formulas and durable fibers ensure modern carpeting can stand up to the rigors of use in a child's room. And, according to the Carpet & Rug Institute, properly cleaned carpet can maintain indoor air quality, making it a viable choice for families impacted by asthma and allergies.

A child's space needs lighting. As you're choosing lighting, keep in mind how your child will use the room. If he will be doing homework, task lighting and desk lights will illuminate study areas. Will the room be a movie room or a "hangout" for older teens? Recessed and dimmable lighting may be appropriate. Don't forget to include natural light in your illumination plans. Avoid heavy drapery. Instead, opt for bright colours and lightweight materials for window treatments so windows admit ample light. If you have a larger budget, consider adding a skylight to provide light while preserving privacy. Âť

Board Communication W

hat is going on lately with condominium boards and residents? Meeting after meeting it seems as if tempers are flared, there is mistrust and hostility between the board and unit owners and there is the concern expressed by some residents that the board is not acting in the best interest of the owners. What it usually comes down to is communication. The common complaint is that the board is making decisions without informing the unit owners. Why is this happening? Is the board not doing a proper job? Usually the board consist of unit owners in the building. This means that the board members have an interest in the welfare of their community just like the rest of the owners. The board is elected and entrusted with the responsibility to run the business of the Condominium Corporation. This means

thehomenews.ca

doing what is best for the present and future unit owners in the condominium. Sometimes there are difficult decisions to be made such as terminating contracts that provide services to the corporation, where the board felt that it was in the best interests of the corporation to change or terminate a particular service. The unit owners may not want to see a change. So should the owners be informed about every decision of the board? It would be difficult for the board to conduct the business of the Condominium Corporation if it were to advise the owners on every matter presented before the board and to get the owners’ input on all issues. The board must ensure that, the business of the corporation is taken care of. Many issues require that decisions be made quickly with careful consideration as to what is in the best interest of the corporation as a whole.

One of the most common complaints that I have heard is that the board does not communicate with the owners. What should the board do to communicate with the owners? It is often a good idea for the board to hold special information meetings, circulate newsletters or information bulletins to let the owners know what the board has been doing. The owners will feel that they are more involved in the decision making process and will hopefully work towards establishing a “stable” relationship with the board.
