INSPIRATION | salina’s corner by SALINA YARA HALABI home décor Presence, optimism & joy: with fashion flair 1 4 The world of fashion and interior design have always influenced one another. Whether it’s trends off the runway, or a style aesthetic that’s gaining popularity on social platforms, we often see themes and colour palettes seamlessly transition from the fashion industry over to home interior finishings and decor. 2022 is no exception. After two years of global-wide disruptions, the need to break free from feelings of gloom and escape a stagnant lifestyle have reached a peak. The result? An appetite for adventure and an optimistic outlook for brighter days ahead. If you’ve recently picked up a fashion magazine, or scrolled through Instagram, you’ll see fashion that not only demands attention, but also inspires. Now, it’s time to bring that sentiment into our personal spaces. Enter maximalism. At its root, maximalism is a reaction against minimalism (think: more is more!). It’s a call for vibrant colour on walls and furniture, décor with eclectic patterns, and details that have an underlying ode to the places we miss or have been longing to visit. It’s a welcomed design shift that’s focused on establishing presence and encouraging personal expression. And, ultimately, it helps ensure that the environments we spend the most time within are igniting our imagination and providing a sense of joy. Because, after all, home should always be our happiest escape.

Saint Boniface runs north as far as Mission Street following the Red River west along Tache Avenue and later Lyndale Drive. A large area with francophone residents, Saint Boniface extends east past Archibald Street to Plessis Road, reaching the Perimeter Highway. The vibe in St. Boniface is clearly French-Canadian. From the Forks, it careens like canoe-carrying voyageurs to the next creek. Whether you’re in surgery at St. Boniface hospital or serving Sleeman’s at the Marion Hotel, you’re part of the living canvas here in the Montreal of the Metis. Former residents counted French as their first language, but now most are more diverse and Englishspeaking. They may not look as rugged as the prairie pioneers of old but they celebrate this French catholic heritage just the same. There are a large number of seniors in the population, low to middle income homes and typically, fewer of these households have children residing there so it can be sedate. St. Boniface has vibrant, young faces in the cultural cliques milling about. Close to downtown, life is lively yet local day and night. St. Boniface is affordable for a middle income bracket, though it caters to high-end condo owners along the river. A small budget can live here resourcefully within reach of city Trafficservices.isconstant over the bridges, so there are several traffic lights and mildly congested routes.
The airport is not convenient but there are several bus routes and river walks for pedestrians. St. Boniface hospital dominates the landscape. Parks are plentiful, like Whittier or King George park, with three golf courses and trails throughout the area. There is St. Boniface City Hall, the Mint, St. Boniface Cathedral and the Université deSt.Saint-Boniface.Bonifaceisloved by those who enjoy a bit of French culture, history and who like to live close to downtown. Shopping and services are ample. Health and business sectors thrive. Young families or those who favour the suburbs may prefer more child-centred neighbourhoods. Apartments are abundant in St. Boniface. There are more suites for rent than there are homes for sale in this area. Newer developments include a street-side, four storey building with luxury condos on Tache, and contemporary open concept units on Provencher. Values for these cityscape condos are higher than average while modest, quality rentals of a similar style are more frequent farther east from downtown.

Mimicking finely crafted ceramics, refined woodgrain patterns, ceramic glazed finishes and joyful pops of colour that are fun to mix and match, melamine dishes and carefully crafted acrylic glassware are serving it up outdoors so we can get excited for all our cocktail parties, and achieve an elevated barbecue experience. Indoor/outdoor area rugs hand-loomed in a polyester fibre are great for durability and infused with fade-resistant properties. Geometric, minimal and neutral, a luxe boho vibe or graphic coastal stripes, they cater to our styling needs.

Constructed from everything from rattan to ceramic and modern porcelain finishes, lanterns are now available in multiple sizes and silhouettes for all styles. Set the tone to your evenings with these lovely pieces, and watch the sun go down in style and elegance.

f we had to choose one word to describe outdoor living post-pandemic, it would be “reawakening.” During the last two years, our balconies and patios have shifted from sporadic weekend barbecues, parties and warm-weather grilling, to invaluable real estate that can function as an extension of our indoor spaces. In line with that “reawakening,” the production of furniture, decor and accessories has evolved to cater to this expanded functionality.

HERMANJANE ADVICE | InsIDEr ADVICE No matter how large or small your apartment is, make your space as comfortable and as welcoming as you can. Your home should be your refuge, a place where you can relax and unwind, and enjoy returning to at the end of the day. Enjoy having that haven all to yourself without someone else putting their influence on your space, or making messes or changes that put you out of sorts.
Initially you may find living along to be fun and exciting. You can set the temperature to your preference, rather than someone else’s; arrange the furniture however you like, monopolize the bathroom without feeling guilty, listen to whatever music you like and indulge your preference for vegetarian food over meat. But there’s also the potential to become lonely and bored when living alone. gEt out EVEryDAy Even if you don’t need any groceries, make sure you get out of the apartment at least once a day unless the weather is really horrible. Having a hobby is great, but if your hobby is something you engage in alone in your apartment, like writing or painting, it can be even more isolating. Get out of your apartment and go for a coffee or for a walk in a mall or a park or to the library. Just getting out and being with people will make you feel better. usE your tImE In A mEAnIngful wAy Volunteer for an organization or cause you feel strongly about. You will meet people who share your interests and concerns and really make a difference in the world, even if in a small way. And, you are less likely to feel lonely and sorry for yourself when you are helping others. Enjoy the freedom you have to be alone in your apartment to the fullest. One day, you may find yourself sharing your space with someone else.

East Kildonan is a popular suburb running west from the Red River to Panet Road on the east and again north from Oakland Avenue almost to Harbison Avenue in the south. Largely residential and stretching down Henderson Highway, E.K. residents constantly course downtown over the DisraeliThoseFreeway.whocall East Kildonan home know the community by heart – this is a community with deep roots and a lot of long-time residents. They’ve gone to school here or started a family here. Some like the access to other parts of the city while others are hard-core locals who wouldn’t venture past the bridge. Life in this big neighbourhood is busy for families – and for traffic. Teens hang out after school near the malls while young parents play at the pool or stroll down the sidewalks.
East Kildonan is home to two school divisions with 15 schools and three community centres – great for families with kids of all ages. There are many small parks and many acres for leisure activity in outreaching Kil-Cona Regional Park. The nearest hospitals are the Health Sciences Centre downtown and Concordia Hospital, plus the family health centre.

The many parks and pathways also attract young singles in the summer who bike or rollerblade with a friend or a Localspet. vary from Harley Davidson fans to Winnipeg Jets fans. Workingclass and middle-income families find housing fairly affordable here, especially east of Henderson Highway. Further west, along the river, bigger, more affluent homes have more seclusion and winding, seemingly exclusive roads. Lush, green groves and bustling community centres are on both sides of the road with many trails teeming with activity.
The most common ways to get around the main routes are by vehicle and bus. There are 14 bus routes and major roads to follow, but the side roads and pathways that follow the river and through residential blocks are ideal for foot traffic and cyclists. The airport is past the city centre, at least 13 kilometres away. Dawn Peter is an author and freelance writer in Manitoba.

TOO MUCH FURNITURE Just having the space does not mean you need to fill it up with furniture. It makes a room feel cluttered, but it can be impractical, too. Filling a room with an overabundance of furniture, as well as accessories, can make the space feel much smaller and less functional.
YOU SHOULD AVOID
INSPIRATION | big style 6 INTERIOR DESIGN MISTAKES 38 Renters Guide | Aug. 12–26, 2022
When it comes to interior design, there aren’t any rules, per se, but there are a few suggestions that homeowners can take into account when designing or redesigning their homes. Interestingly, when we’re online, we’re bombarded with many trends and “must-have” decor that we’re being told to try in our spaces. Yet, we’re rarely given as much intel on what design, decor and decorations to avoid in Designreturn.errors can be expensive, so I’ve broken down some of the most common design mistakes I’ve seen (or heard of) in my career, and how you can avoid them in your interior designs.
ALWAYS MEASURE A ROOM
This is a cardinal rule, because it forces us not to make design decisions too spontaneously (such as buying furniture that is either too big or small for a room). Before making a purchase, I implore you to gather the dimensions of each piece first. Never rely on your eye to measure a space (it seldom works). Measure every nook and cranny in a room, and map out your area (patiently) before committing to anything.
by
Easy tip: Take stock of a room you use most often in your home – such as a living room – and question which pieces you use and those that don’t serve a purpose beyond aesthetic appeal. Sell or donate any pieces that seem redundant. You want the space to be comfortable and spacious, and that requires, well, space. Too much furniture has the opposite effect. LiSa ROgeRS
One important rule to remember – quality outweighs quantity. While it’s a challenge to live with less furniture, investing in highquality pieces means they could potentially last a lifetime and, more significantly, they won’t go out of style. Take your time and shop with a critical eye. Buy the highest quality you can afford, and if you can’t at that exact moment, create a budget plan that means you can for the future. It may take six months to get that beautiful, oversized velvet couch you’ve been eyeing, but it’s surely worth the wait once you have it.

Follow Lisa’s blog at craftedbylisa.ca nexthome.ca
TAKE TRENDS LESS SERIOUSLY
We’re bombarded online and via social platforms with season after season of design and decor trends such as palm prints and wicker furniture. It’s easy to get caught up in the fray, and incorporate some of those fun and unique looks into our own homes. Remember – trends are fleeting, and you don’t want to drain your budget with items that won’t stand the test of time. Never make a design decision flippantly. I always tell people that they need to live in their space before making big purchasing decisions, whether it’s a couch, bed or dining room table. You need to exist in your space to get a sense of how you live in it, and then you can decide what pieces fit your lifestyle and design aesthetic the best. If you still feel the pull of a trend like the most recent rattan craze, try it out in home furnishings. I love a rattan lighting fixture mixed in with a more modern, minimalist design. INVEST IN QUALITY FURNITURE
CHOOSING THE WRONG RUG SIZE I love the transformational nature of rugs. They can create interest and beauty, and there are so many price points available that you can find the right price for you. It can be tricky knowing the right size of rug for your space. There are some general fail-safe rules I’ve followed for years, and it’s this: Living rooms almost always need a carpet that’s either eight by 10 ft. or nine by 12. Anything smaller looks awkward and out of place. A rug should be big enough to fit (at least) two chairs or couch legs on it. Alternatively, you can go smaller in functional spaces, such as a kitchen, providing it serves the right purpose. A small rug under bar stools creates a more inviting space to sit.
NEVER FORGET LIGHTING
39
It’s surprising how little homeowners invest in thinking about lighting, and it’s one of the essential functions in a space, providing ambiance and overall comfort. My advice? Don’t opt for a singular light in one room and think you’re done – it’s jarring when light is washed over you from overhead. It’s unflattering and can give the feel of an interrogation room at times. Instead, try to layer your lighting. This means you decide on your central lighting – for your kitchen worktops, mirrors in your bathrooms, or light above your dining table. Then the idea is that you build around that with smaller lighting options, which sets the right vibe and creates ambiance. The possibilities are endless –table lamps, string lights, small pendants, anything that will highlight the areas in the room that may require some warmth. And never forget candles. They’re the most affordable and romantic way to set the mood.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE
ADVICE | OrgAnIzED LIVIng
Corydon Avenue flows like a lazy river. Braced by black metal archways, it connects Osborne Village and Confusion Corner at its eastern end to just past Stafford Street at its western edge. Wildly popular in the summer, this district pumps in the heart of Crescentwood. It’s a great area to get out and enjoy. Life on Corydon Avenue is always hopping. Traffic is slow as much because of the people-watchers cruising past, as for the pedestrians themselves. People like to live on Corydon for the love of Little Italy, for the availability of artsy services and trendy restaurants and for the proximity to downtown. Corydon Avenue is lit with long strings of lights like a marina or market in Italy. Proudly connected to community and known for pasta or pizza, it is also home to stacks of sushi places, cute boutiques and trendy nail and hair services. Business people make it a standard stop for coffee during the day and skateboarders or motorcyclists ride by after hours.
Prices keep going up and up, so when you’re cutting costs, why not cut clutter at the same time? You don’t need to spend your hard-earned money on expensive storage solutions – chances are, you may have the thrifty answers in your home already! Use what you have. Get creative. Before rushing out to buy bins and baskets, look around your home for containers you can re-purpose. Here are some ideas: » Use egg cartons or ice cube trays to organize earring sets, cuff links or hair accessories.

rule: For every item you bring home, let go of one. Corral coin clutter. Do you have loose change in every part of your home? Grab a clear jar and label it Fun Funds. Deposit those coins. Once the jar is full, treat yourself to a small indulgence and then start again.
The crowd on Corydon loves its lattes and gelati, which can be found on almost every corner. Residents and business people might pay a little more for a high-end treat, but there’s also lots of competition and a great selection of treats and eats for every craving and flavour. Although Corydon Avenue is adjacent to some main thoroughfares going downtown and to the airport, it is not congested.

INSPIRATION | inpsiring interiors by sara duck photos Janelle Gokule
With modern elements, organic touches and sentimental pieces, this dreamy nursery comes to life
W hen JacflashofGenoveseJaclyndesignerSpacesbysetout to design a nursery for her own baby, she had a clear vision in mind; it had to be tranquil, organic and feel like a haven. “I knew I wanted to design a space for my son that marries both contemporary and traditional pieces to coincide with the rest of my home,” says Genovese, “but it also needed to be a calm place that felt special to me and my baby.” To achieve the look, Genovese chose a neutral palette and
Smallwonder 48 Renters Guide | Aug. 12–26, 2022
combined various textures and natural touches. “I mixed woods, leather, faux shearling, wools, linen, paper and more to create interest and bring warmth and character to the space,” she explains.

In addition to the organic elements that are draped around the room, Genovese incorporated beautiful antique zoo paintings from the 1800s that hang above the crib, a nod to her mother who purchased them at an auction when she worked as a zookeeper for the Toronto Zoo.

“The images are very sentimental to me,” says Genovese. “They were in the house that I grew up in, in gold frames, so I refurbished them with wood frames to match the neutral and organic vibe of the nursery.”Ofcourse, when designing a nursery, function must be equal to beauty. So, how did Genovese tackle the challenge? “Functional pieces like a change table/dresser can be boring, but if you customize it by swapping out the hardware, it’s an easy way to elevate the design,” she says. Genovese also suggests making sure there is a place for everything and to combine old with new for a unique look. “For my son’s nursery, I combined an antique dresser that I found on Facebook marketplace, a vintage IKEA pendant lamp that I bought on eBay, a wooden side table from my family’s cottage, the vintage zoo photos, along with modern elements such as the crib and modern rocker from West Coast Kids,” says Genovese. With her savvy shopping skill and keen design eye, all of the elements in the space combine to create a dreamy nursery overflowing with special touches, a perfect place to spend time with her baby.

RENTING VS OWNING 10 REASONS RENTING IS BETTER
7. SAFETY. Living in a rental unit typically means living near a lot of other people, and while that can occasionally be irksome, those country music fans who hold a stomping hootenanny every Saturday night are also going to hear you scream if you’re in trouble, or notice if your car hasn’t moved or your mail starts piling up.
5. ACCESS TO AMENITIES. Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, highdensity housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping, which opens up a world of possibilities for your social life.
10. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating (or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of homeownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter, you may even benefit from ambient heat from the building or apartments around you, depending on its layout.
1. MOBILITY. If employment or other life circumstances require you to move to a different city (or province), it’s a lot easier to give your landlord notice and hunt for an apartment than it would be to put your home on the market, sell it and buy a new one.
6. NO DOWN PAYMENT. All you have to come up with to secure your apartment is enough to cover your rent and/or security deposit. Some landlords may ask for a security deposit rather than the last month, but it will usually end up being applied that way – at any rate, deposits aren’t excessive. With the average home price in Canada now well over $400k, even a very small down payment plus legal fees, plus home inspection, plus, plus, plus – it all adds up to a big investment and a lot of money to pay out on key day.
MARSHALLANNE “ ” When your shower stops properly,runningyourlandlordisthe one who has to call and pay for the plumber.
9. NO PROPERTY TAXES. While you can assume that at least some of the rent you pay goes towards covering that cost for your landlord, it isn’t your financial responsibility. Your rent remains stable and increases in a predictable fashion.
4. INTEREST INVULNERABILITY.RATE Unlike homeowners, your rent is fixed and can only increase by small increments dictated by law. Not so the financial market, which could see you renegotiating your mortgage every couple of years as interest rates and property values change.

54 Renters Guide | Aug. 12–26, 2022
3. FIXTURE REPAIR. When your shower stops running properly, your landlord is the one who has to call and pay for the plumber. If the fridge or stove needs replacing, that’s their financial responsibility.
8. CHEAPER INSURANCE. Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents. When you get your renters’ insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home. Canadian renters’ insurance averages $20 to $30 a month in most parts of the country.
2. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. Whether it’s shovelling snow for 90 days straight in winter, raking autumn leaves or mowing the lawn in summer, outdoor tasks are the responsibility of your landlord, superintendent or management company, unless your lease dictates otherwise.
While many people idealize home ownership and cling to it as a goal, not everyone wants to own their own home. Especially after retirement, the “perks” of homeownership pale in comparison to the benefits of renting. If you’re thinking about making a change to your living situation, here are 10 good reasons why renting may be preferable to owning your home.
