Mainstream furniture design has taken an exciting turn lately. Maybe you have noticed it, too. From sculptural lighting and Brutalist-inspired tables to Rothkoinspired designs, decor is getting artsy. More specifically, Museum of Modern Art worthy! And I must admit I am a huge fan. I think we can all agree that it’s not just about furniture’s function; we want the form to be equally appealing. With art galleries and museums closed, for now, our need to physically connect with art has really changed. Along with adorning our space with literal paintings and pictures, it’s interesting to see that furniture can play a pivotal role, too – the rooms in our homes can become mini art exhibits. We can be the curator of our own spaces, choosing unique furniture and decor pieces that reflect our style and needs, and bring us unending inspiration every time we enter the room.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE
TO PACK – OR NOT: DIY OR LEAVE IT TO THE PROS?
CHUCK RESNICK
Moving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some people want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn-key solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you. THE PROFESSIONAL PACKER
Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to their new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed well, but may shift inside the carton and break or chip as a result. Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and
they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first. Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced. THE DIY PACKER
Trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes. Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers,
newsprint, markers, pads and bubble wrap – and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubic-foot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. It’s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is three cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and six cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing top-notch service.

How is your
elevator EtiquEttE? Jane Herman
You need to take the elevator in your apartment building every day, and there are some huge pet peeves that come along for the ride. Here’s an elevator etiquette refresher. 1. Exit thEn EntEr. Let passengers off before boarding the elevator. 2. whEn to takE thE stairs.
One flight up or two flights down – use the stairs when
able. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it helps keep the flow on a busy elevator. 3. hold thE door! Your neighbours will remember you watching the doors close on them – and not in a good way. Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator. 4. kids. If they’re old enough, let them push the button, but don’t let your children play with the panel or light up all the floors like a Christmas tree. That’s no way to impress the neighbours or make friends.
5. BE nEighBourly. Generally,
the people on the elevator are your neighbours. There’s no need for awkward silence – but there’s also no need for awkward questions. Don’t confuse friendliness with nosiness. Now, enjoy the ride! Jane Herman is a communications consultant who has worked in the rental property industry.

LIFESTYLE BLOG HARLOW & THISTLE SHARES FIVE TIPS TO ENJOY YOUR HOME THIS WINTER – THE DANISH WAY
here’s nothing better than curling up in a cosy blanket, in front of a fire and watching the snow fall. It’s just so hygge. No, that wasn’t a sneeze. Hygge, pronounced “hew-ge” is the Danish word for a mood of cosiness, comfort and contentment. The hygge concept is all about enjoying the natural elements within the living spaces of your home. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those design trends that will set you back thousands of dollars. It’s easy to do, and you might already be doing it and not even know it. Here are five tips to hygge your home:
TIP 2: DECORATE WITH CANDLES Pillar, tea, long, skinny, if you have candles get them out, group them together and spread them out throughout your home. A cluster of tea candles around your tub or modern candlestick holders on a side table are just a few examples where candles can add a modern hygge feeling to your home. Ochre VELVET CUSHION. $39.99. FEATHERED WREATH. $24.99. Black velvet canning ARMCHAIR. $299.99. homesense.ca WOOD CANDLESTICKS. $79.90. zarahome.ca
TIP 1: THE EDIT Keep things on display that have meaning and make you feel good; everything else can be put in storage or given away. This disciplined approach sounds ruthless but will do wonders for your well-being and contentment. A good edit will help declutter your space and help create that hygge state of mind.

34 Renters Guide | Dec. 31, 2021–Jan. 14, 2022
TIP 4: BRING THE OUTDOORS IN Incorporate natural outdoor elements in your home; stone, wood, slate, branches, leather and terracotta are just a few examples. Look for perfectly imperfect pieces. The rougher and worn the more it adds character to your home. Irregular GOLD VASE. $59.90. zarahome.ca Natural HAIRPIN SIDE TABLE. $235. simons.ca Round TEAK STOOL. $249. wayfair.ca LINKS MARBLE CHAIN. $189.cb2.ca
TIP 3: ADD COSY TEXTURES Whether you opt for faux fur, wool or sheepskin these cosy textiles will help add that Scandinavian feel to your home. Draping a sheepskin throw over a dining room chair or adding a faux fur pouf to a family room is a great way to elevate the space and immediately create a warm appeal. Elsa acrylic square ANIMAL PRINT POUF OTTOMAN by Foundstone. $289.99. wayfair.ca Gwyneth BOUCLE CHAIR. $1,399. cb2.c

ADVICE | RENTAL TIpS
what to look for in a rental Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases. THE RENTAL UNIT
• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place? • Where is the closest bus stop? • Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness) • Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)? • Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot? • How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping? • Are there laundry facilities? Is there a schedule for use? Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat? • Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed? FINANCES
• How much is the rent? • Is a security deposit required? What is the amount? • Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet? • Will a utility hook-up charge be extra? • Will parking cost extra? What is the amount? 42 Renters Guide | Dec. 31, 2021–Jan. 14, 2022
• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones? AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS
• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it. • What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease? • How will costs be shared and bills paid? • How will problems be resolved? QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month? • When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late? Ask for receipts for any payments. • Who do you contact if there is a problem? • Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance? • Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?
• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required? • Is smoking allowed? • How long can guests stay? • Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls? • When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out? • When will the inspection report be done. It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

ADVICE | RENTAL PRO
RENTING VERSUS OWNING FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER ANNE MARSHALL
3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES.
Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping.
Here are five good reasons why renting is preferable to owning. 1. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.
Shovelling snow, raking autumn leaves, mowing the lawn – outdoor tasks are your landlord, superintendent or management company’s responsibility, unless your lease dictates otherwise.
4. CHEAPER INSURANCE.
2. FIXTURE REPAIR. If your
shower stops running properly, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to call and pay for a plumber.
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.
46O
5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating
(or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the apartments around you. Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up.

HOW TO PICK WINE LIKE A PRO with Super Wine Girl, Angela Aiello
1
2 3 4
NEW WORLD IS ALL ABOUT GRAPES AND EUROPE IS ALL ABOUT THE PLACE IT’S FROM The first thing to understand is that in places such as Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Argentina, wines are labelled by the grapes inside the bottle. You’ll see grape names such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Shiraz and Grenache, etc. In many places in Europe, wines are labelled by the place they are from. You’ll see names of places such as, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Chianti, Barolo, Cahors, Priorat, Rioja and Sherry. There are many varieties of grapes in the world and many regions that grow them. Each grape varietal and each region has a unique flavour profile – so there is always something to discover. Getting to know your favourite grapes and varietals is crucial in better understanding which wines you’ll prefer. UNDERSTAND WINE STYLES AND HAVE AN IDEA OF WHICH STYLE YOU’RE CRAVING Do you drink according to your mood, the weather or what food you’re pairing with the wine? Your wine preferences may change based on your mood, the occasion, the time of year or what you’re preparing for the next meal. Give your style words and feelings so that you can pinpoint exactly what wine you want to try. DON’T JUDGE A WINE BY THE LABEL OR PRICE Flashy art or a higher price tag can lead you to believe you are purchasing quality wine. Be mindful this is not always the case. Read the labels (both front and back). You can even research the producer for added information as you can learn more about the product and the producer’s work. A nice wine label or bottle on sale will get you once but it might not get you again. There are great wines at great prices and also great wines with great labels, but judging just on looks or price is not the way to buy wine. BE OPEN TO TAKING A WINE ADVENTURE Did you know the Canary Islands makes wine? Did you know Washington State makes killer Cabernet and that Argentina grows vineyards at high elevation, creating exceptional mountain wines? There is so much cool stuff to learn about wine that you can literally have an adventure in every single bottle you open! You can learn about the world in every sip, and that’s really exciting, especially now when it’s hard to travel. You can taste the world from the comfort of your home with a glass of wine in your hand and Google by your side.

Cellarettes or bar cabinets, as they are called today, have been around for centuries. They appeared in Europe as early as the 15th century, designed to carry, transport and store a small number of bottled alcoholic beverages. Today, bar cabinets are multi-functional, housing your bar accessories, bottles and also acting as a great small furniture piece.

Prosecco Rosé is finally available at the LCBO, and we are tickled pink about it. In order for it to be labelled Prosecco Rosé, the grapes used must come from a specific geographic area that has passed the Italian government’s quality requirements, and be fermented for at least 60 days in stainless steel tanks. We predict the pink bubbly will be popular this season. PROSECCO ROSÉ DOC by Ruffino. $17. lcbo.com nexthome.ca 51

comfort IS KEY

by SARA DUCK
Has the pandemic indefinitely changed the way you live and dress? Casual wear has become de rigueur, with pyjama and sweatpants breaking sales records this year. And, with so many working from home and spending more time inside, many homeowners are rethinking how they can make their spaces more organized, functional and relaxed. We have entered a new age of comfort. When the outside world seems daunting, we want our homes to be a source of solace, our clothes to be unrestrictive and unapologetic. As the winter bears down on us and restrictions change weekly, sheltering in place should be a time to slow down and surround ourselves with life’s little pleasures. It could be mastering the art of sour dough bread, curling up by a fire with family or snuggling in a super soft throw – whatever comfort means to you, embrace it and let it carry you through the pandemic.

The psyChology of mEss liTTle adjusTmenTs To rEduCE thE CluttEr
hellen buTTigieg
We all have spots that are magnets for clutter, usually because they provide a convenient, empty flat surface to pile things on. Walk around your home to determine where the clutter hot spots are, then remove the clutter (toss it in a box or laundry basket for now) and put something beautiful in its place, like a vase or a sculpture. If it’s the dining room table, set it as if you were having a dinner party. This will deter you from using it as a drop zone. Keep your pantry DecluttereD
Most people can’t resist buying items that are on sale. But when it comes to food, buying too much and neglecting to use it before the expiry date will cost you more in the long run. It’s easy to forget what you have on hand when things build up. Whether you keep your food in the kitchen cupboards or a large pantry, keeping these areas streamlined and organized will save you time, money and frustration. Before going grocery shopping, take an inventory of everything you have and plan the meals for the upcoming week with an eye toward incorporating these items. Once you’ve used up the excess,
get in the habit of planning your weekly meals in advance. You will avoid over-buying and will always know what’s for dinner. purchase furniture that Does Double-Duty
Consider purchasing a few multifunctional furnishings such as an upholstered ottoman that not only provides a place to put your feet up, but also offers additional seating, doubles as a coffee table and opens up to reveal hidden storage. create an in/out zone
Set up a small container for each family member on a table or a small bookcase by the door as a place to hold keys and wallets. It can also act as a landing spot for briefcases and backpacks. In addition to providing a home for those items when you walk in the door, it also gives you a consistent spot to place things you’ll need to take with you when you go out again. are you being helD hostage by your stuff?
If you are reluctant to get rid of certain items because they were expensive, think about how much it’s costing you to keep them. The more possessions you have, the more time it takes to care for them and the more space it takes to store them. Although it may be difficult to let go of things that no longer serve you, the payoff is well worth it: You’ll have more free time
in your day and be more relaxed in your home. feeling stucK
If you find yourself backsliding when it comes to maintaining your organizing systems, don’t berate yourself, as this will sap your energy and prevent you from doing anything about it. Rather than dwelling on what went wrong, focus instead on what needs to be done. Just say “oops” and move on to take action.
