WINDOW TREATMENTS can affect your mood
T
he overall ambience of a space sets the tone for how we feel far more than the individual decorative items. According to Kim Kiner, vice president of textile and material design for window treatment company Hunter Douglas, what directly affects that mood might surprise you. More often than not, it’s the lighting coming through the window.

With so much at stake at the window here are a few of the popular trends she recommends to get the most out of the window dressings: MOTORIZATION Consumers today want a “connected home” with Internet-ready products that can be operated with the convenience of mobile devices. Have you heard of the Platinum App from Hunter Douglas? It allows users to create personalized scenes from morning light to movie night. You can control all the shades in your home with one click and time a scene with your alarm clock for a refreshing morning. The app is even available with a sunrise/ sunset timer feature that uses GPS data to calculate the exact times for a specific location.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Everyone wants to live more responsibly. Therefore, products that offer enhanced energy efficiency to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer are very popular. Energy-efficient window treatments are a smart way to conserve energy in your home. Duette Architella honeycomb shades for example, can help reduce solar heat gain at the window by up to 80 percent and heat loss through windows by up to 40 percent. And, the way the light filters into the room is beautiful. By conserving energy at the window, you can rest assured your cooling and heating systems won’t have to work as hard. The superior UV protection offered by soft, sheer Silhouette window shadings is trending with consumers as well. >>>
“ Whether it’s soft, filtered light or bright sunshine cascading through your shades, the way these rays enter a room can change everything.” - Kim Kiner

SOPHISTICATED TEXTURES Window treatments are not just about function: they make a style statement. And the beauty and sophistication that textures add at the window is getting increased recognition. From natural textures to exquisite textile weaves such as linens and raw silks, they create a distinctive look that transforms an ordinary window to extraordinary. Fabrics for Alustra Vignette Modern Roman Shades, for example, include a grass cloth texture with a subtle sheen. Whether you’re living in a new space and starting from scratch or want to update your window décor, these trends will modernize your home and add unique style.

How to create a
COMFORTABLE
MEDIA ROOM I
t’s no secret that we spend a lot of time in front of screens – on our smartphones, tablets, laptops. We need computers to do our jobs, cell phones to stay in touch, tablets to entertain, and iPods to play our favourite tunes. But what about the television, the original screen we all know and love? “The art of enjoying a favourite film or TV show has become lost on many people,” says Sally Morse, director of creative services at Hunter Douglas, a leading window treatment company. “Instead of settling down at home and relaxing with the family, viewers are cramming their shows into their commute, squinting at their phones, watching when they can,” she continues. So, how do we get back to enjoying the art of watching film? Morse says by investing in a media room, which is trending so much so that it is now the new “must have” room in the house. A media room will bring the family together for some good, old-fashioned entertainment and relaxation, so to get the most out of it and to make yours seem like a movie theatre here are some helpful tips from Morse: >>>

So,
how do we get back to enjoying the art of watching film? Morse says by investing in a media room, which is trending so much so that it is now the new “must have” room in the house. A media room will bring the family together for some good, old-fashioned entertainment and relaxation, so to get the most out of it and to make yours seem like a movie theatre here are some helpful tips from Morse:
COMFORT AND STYLE, LIVING IN HARMONY Pick a favourite colour and shop for throws and pretty pillows to show it off, an easy way to add some flair to the room while making your viewing experience more cozy. If you have hardwood floors and don’t want to take the wall-to-wall carpeting plunge, look for a rug made of thick material to instantly soften up the feel of the room.
DON’T MESS WITH THE VIEW Picture this: You’ve just nestled into your favourite corner of the couch, put a movie on and are resting with your feet up. And then you notice it, the dreaded glare on the television from the blazing sun outside. “There are times when you want sunshine while watching the screen,” says Morse, “and times when darkness is preferred.” Either way, the glare should not be a part of the picture. When designing your media room, keep this in mind.
“ It’s important to make your media room comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style.”
A stylish fit for both situations and for any light control preference for that matter, are Solera Soft Shades from Hunter Douglas. If you want to let outdoor light in without the pesky glare, you’re in luck: the window - Sally Morse fashions are available with a top-down/bottom-up option, which is especially useful for preventing glare on TV screens. Are you in the mood to really make your media room seem like a theatre? Opt for fabrics with room-darkening opacity for the ultimate movie night. >>>

MAXIMIZE SPACE It’s important to have enough seating without crowding the room, depending on the size of the space. She suggests an L-shaped couch so families and guests can sprawl out and still feel connected. You can go modern with crisp lines and a square shape, or more traditional with plush cushions and rounded armrests. For even more seating, add a loveseat or pair together slipper chairs.
Ample seating in this room is key,” Morse advises. DOUBLE DUTY “The great part about creating a media room is that it becomes a type of retreat for everyone in the family, whether they’re watching the TV or not,” Morse says. Wander inside and sink into the couch during a long phone call with an old friend, put a tray of drinks on the coffee table when guests come over, or curl up and read a good book. “The room is what you make it,” she concludes. www.newscanada.com

How to decide what MUST GO from your
SPRING CLOSET T
here’s something about spring that makes us want to start over and make changes. Maybe it’s the warmer weather and the idea of switching the parka for a light sports coat, but either way, it’s a time when the dreaded closet cleanout rears its demanding head. Organizing our clothes closet can be extremely liberating however, especially if we finally part with the outdated items from seasons past. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so why not roll up your sleeves and make it a great one with this season’s hottest must haves combined with a mix of classics.
B
COMFORT IS NOT A FOUR-LETTER WORD efore you start tossing your attire into three predetermined piles on the floor - conceptually marked toss, keep, or donate - ask yourself: 1) Does this fit? 2) Have I worn this in the last 12 months? 3) Will I ever wear this again/is it me?
I know many a stylist who has cringed at the word comfort when describing a garment, but the reality is that anyone who says clothing and comfort don’t go together is wrong. Your clothes should hug the body, not strangle you. Slim tailoring is great, a tight fit is not. Also, look for breathable fabrics that you won’t want to immediately change out of after a long day’s work - think natural fibres, such as cottons and wools, and lightweight pieces that you can layer.
4) If it’s damaged will I make the effort to repair it? 5) If I went shopping today, would I buy it again? Now it’s time to clean out that closet. Here’s what you should consider:
INVESTING IN YOUR WARDROBE Sales are great, no complaints here on getting a bargain, but it’s important to note that not all sales are created equal. Ask yourself before any purchase, “if this was regular price, would I still make the investment?” When you look at your wardrobe you should feel like everything is an investment piece regardless of the price point you paid. It’s always a great idea to invest in a few classic pieces, such as a quality leather jacket and a trench coat, to give your wardrobe some longevity. COLOUR CORRECTING Don’t be afraid of colour this season. With the trend no longer about primary colours you don’t have to be worried about fading trends. Look for some stunning basics that have a much richer colour palette that will last. >>>

THE ADD-ON ACCESSORIES Here’s where you can inject some personality into your wardrobe. Find pieces with interesting textures and if you need assistance with this, start with the Abboud Collection at Moores Clothing for Men. Texture is a significant element in that line and it remains the same this season. Think of texture as the new colour palette, but if you’re struggling to make the jump and invest in colour, add character to your wardrobe with accessories instead, It’s an inexpensive way to add an expensive feel to fabrics. When trying to kick your business attire up a notch, pocket squares are also a creative way to add a punch of colour and texture without being garish. The trick is to have fun with mixing accessories. That said, a tie shouldn’t be the first thing you see about an outfit.
Add character to your wardrobe with accessories. CURATE Also remember, keeping things tight (carefully curated I always say) doesn’t mean you’re limiting your outfit options. Don’t be afraid to be selective. Joseph Abboud is chief creative director of Men’s Wearhouse, parent company of Moores Clothing for Men, Canada’s leading national retailer of men’s business attire and tuxedo rentals, with more than 125 stores nationwide. www.newscanada.com
