White is making a huge comeback in inte-rior decorating. This trend is not entirelysurprising, considering the wide range ofdifferent tones which blend perfectly withany type of décor. Surprisingly enough, whiteis never really white; it comes tinted lightly,or not so lightly, to produce various effects.Emerging trends are dominated by its subtlenuances and, when it includes more colour,it provides a light and pleasing complemen-tary touch.
Warm whites tinted with ochre or brown areperfect for creating a friendly, cozy atmos-phere. This year, whites also come in shadesof yellow, red, and orange for creating warmdécors. Whites tinted with blue or gray areparticularly popular for blending with to-day’s fashionable colour schemes in which
blue is a predominant colour. When choos-ing white paint, compare the paint chip witha sheet of pure white paper in order to deter-mine the exact shade.
To select the shade of white which will har-monize best with your décor, professionalsrecommend testing paint samples in the natu-ral light of the room. Test the colour close tofurniture, objects, and other important ele-ments. When associated with neutral tones,such as taupe or beige, white creates a gen-tle, peaceful atmosphere. On the other hand,it becomes fresh and dynamic when com-bined with bright colours.
Synonymous with purity, cleanliness, andsoftness, white enhances furniture, acces-sories, and paintings. It also improves by
being combined withquality materials suchas metal and lacque-red wood for a mo-dern style or wickerand natural wood fora more rustic look.
Falling in love with white
Warm whites tintedwith ochre or brownare perfect for creatinga friendly, cozyatmosphere.
Boring, flat walls, be gone! Wallpaper,ceramic, decorative stone, and wood arethe textures are in the spotlight these days.
WALLPAPERToday’s wallpapers imitate an infinitenumber of textures, ranging from carbonfibre with a padded look to natural mate-rials such as brick, leather, wood, andeven wool. Trompe l’oeil wallpaper canimitate bookshelves or paintings, crea-ting an optical illusion of depth, or theycan display a nature theme, with enor-mous colourful patterns that instantlybrighten a room. For a flawless classicallook, wallpaper made of fibres trans-
forms the room into a perfect setting forall your treasures.
CERAMICTo create intrigue and dimension, thevery latest ceramic wall tiles are three-dimensional; their sculpted surfaces andwhimsical shapes, such as weaves, knots,and seashells, interact with the light inthe room. Attractive and affordable, theywill truly change the way you see yourwalls. Ceramic tiles imitating stainlesssteel mosaics are also available.
DECORATIVE STONEDecorative stone adds texture to interior
walls, is not as costly asbrickwork, and is easier tolay. It is also surprisingly re-alistic; when laid vertically,it creates a dynamic look.WOODWood comes in many diffe-rent forms. Consumers canchoose vertical, horizontal,or diagonal wall-to-wall pa-nelling for classic eleganceor daring, undulating panelsfor a fresh new look. It’seven possible to lay a float-ing floor on a wall!
So, who said staring at thewall was boring?
Many people think of their kitchen as theheart of their home, a living space wherethey spend hours preparing food, eating,and cleaning up every day. That’s why theefficient use of space is a very importantelement in any kitchen. One design rulehas proved its worth over the years: thework triangle. Here is a short geometrylesson for those who aren’t familiar withthis concept.
First of all, the three main zones of thekitchen are the cooking zone (stove and mi-crowave), washing zone (sink, dishwasher,garbage and recycling bins), and provisionszone (refrigerator, cupboards, and pantry).
These three zones have to be situated at apractical distancefrom one anotherin order to cre-ate a user-friendlykitchen. Togetherthey should form
a triangle which, in an ideal scenario, hasthree equal (or almost equal) sides.
A FEW TIPS• Avoid placing the fridge, sink, or stove atan angle• Plan to have enough standing room in frontof each appliance (at least 120 cm), espe-cially when there are two facing each other• Position the dishwasher to the right of thesink to facilitate rinsing the dishes andplacing them in the dishwasher (if you’reright-handed)• Position the storage zone (cupboards anddrawers where dishes are stored) betweenthe provisions zone and the washing zone• Position the work zone (countertops) closeto the cooking zone and the washing zone
Barn wood is all the rage at the moment.That’s right, we’re talking about all thoseold boards holding up sagging, abando-ned barns and sheds along country roads.Neglected for years on end, barn boardshave a unique weathered look that is per-fect for the “shabby chic” and “roughluxe” trends.
Whether used as wall covering, beams,floors, or ceilings, or even to create ta-bles, bookshelves, or kitchen islands,these greying wood planks give instantcharacter and warmth to a room. Fora contemporary look, blend rustic andmodern by adding touches of barn woodto accessories in stainless steel, glass,and stone.
You can create your own barn board lookon regular wood by following these fewsteps:
• Sand the chosen surface and apply acoat of primer• Paint a base coat of grey• Trace horizontal lines in order to imi-tate the wood’s grain and lay maskingtape over these lines• Combine a container of grey paint witha bit of glaze and repeat the operationwith some brown paint• Use a paint brush with stiff bristles topaint each “plank” with both colours
• Leave the paint to dry and then removethe masking tape• Spread a mix of off-white glaze on oneplank at a time and then slide a smalltool, called a wood graining rocker, to re-produce the grainy look of the wood• To tone down the effect, dab with anovergrainer brush and finish with a goodcoat of varnish

White is making a huge comeback in inte-rior decorating. This trend is not entirelysurprising, considering the wide range ofdifferent tones which blend perfectly withany type of décor. Surprisingly enough, whiteis never really white; it comes tinted lightly,or not so lightly, to produce various effects.Emerging trends are dominated by its subtlenuances and, when it includes more colour,it provides a light and pleasing complemen-tary touch.
Warm whites tinted with ochre or brown areperfect for creating a friendly, cozy atmos-phere. This year, whites also come in shadesof yellow, red, and orange for creating warmdécors. Whites tinted with blue or gray areparticularly popular for blending with to-day’s fashionable colour schemes in which
blue is a predominant colour. When choos-ing white paint, compare the paint chip witha sheet of pure white paper in order to deter-mine the exact shade.
To select the shade of white which will har-monize best with your décor, professionalsrecommend testing paint samples in the natu-ral light of the room. Test the colour close tofurniture, objects, and other important ele-ments. When associated with neutral tones,such as taupe or beige, white creates a gen-tle, peaceful atmosphere. On the other hand,it becomes fresh and dynamic when com-bined with bright colours.
Synonymous with purity, cleanliness, andsoftness, white enhances furniture, acces-sories, and paintings. It also improves by
being combined withquality materials suchas metal and lacque-red wood for a mo-dern style or wickerand natural wood fora more rustic look.

Boring, flat walls, be gone! Wallpaper,ceramic, decorative stone, and wood arethe textures are in the spotlight these days.
WALLPAPERToday’s wallpapers imitate an infinitenumber of textures, ranging from carbonfibre with a padded look to natural mate-rials such as brick, leather, wood, andeven wool. Trompe l’oeil wallpaper canimitate bookshelves or paintings, crea-ting an optical illusion of depth, or theycan display a nature theme, with enor-mous colourful patterns that instantlybrighten a room. For a flawless classicallook, wallpaper made of fibres trans-
forms the room into a perfect setting forall your treasures.
CERAMICTo create intrigue and dimension, thevery latest ceramic wall tiles are three-dimensional; their sculpted surfaces andwhimsical shapes, such as weaves, knots,and seashells, interact with the light inthe room. Attractive and affordable, theywill truly change the way you see yourwalls. Ceramic tiles imitating stainlesssteel mosaics are also available.
DECORATIVE STONEDecorative stone adds texture to interior
walls, is not as costly asbrickwork, and is easier tolay. It is also surprisingly re-alistic; when laid vertically,it creates a dynamic look.WOODWood comes in many diffe-rent forms. Consumers canchoose vertical, horizontal,or diagonal wall-to-wall pa-nelling for classic eleganceor daring, undulating panelsfor a fresh new look. It’seven possible to lay a float-ing floor on a wall!
So, who said staring at thewall was boring?
Many people think of their kitchen as theheart of their home, a living space wherethey spend hours preparing food, eating,and cleaning up every day. That’s why theefficient use of space is a very importantelement in any kitchen. One design rulehas proved its worth over the years: thework triangle. Here is a short geometrylesson for those who aren’t familiar withthis concept.
First of all, the three main zones of thekitchen are the cooking zone (stove and mi-crowave), washing zone (sink, dishwasher,garbage and recycling bins), and provisionszone (refrigerator, cupboards, and pantry).
These three zones have to be situated at apractical distancefrom one anotherin order to cre-ate a user-friendlykitchen. Togetherthey should form
a triangle which, in an ideal scenario, hasthree equal (or almost equal) sides.
A FEW TIPS• Avoid placing the fridge, sink, or stove atan angle• Plan to have enough standing room in frontof each appliance (at least 120 cm), espe-cially when there are two facing each other• Position the dishwasher to the right of thesink to facilitate rinsing the dishes andplacing them in the dishwasher (if you’reright-handed)• Position the storage zone (cupboards anddrawers where dishes are stored) betweenthe provisions zone and the washing zone• Position the work zone (countertops) closeto the cooking zone and the washing zone
Barn wood is all the rage at the moment.That’s right, we’re talking about all thoseold boards holding up sagging, abando-ned barns and sheds along country roads.Neglected for years on end, barn boardshave a unique weathered look that is per-fect for the “shabby chic” and “roughluxe” trends.
Whether used as wall covering, beams,floors, or ceilings, or even to create ta-bles, bookshelves, or kitchen islands,these greying wood planks give instantcharacter and warmth to a room. Fora contemporary look, blend rustic andmodern by adding touches of barn woodto accessories in stainless steel, glass,and stone.
You can create your own barn board lookon regular wood by following these fewsteps:
• Sand the chosen surface and apply acoat of primer• Paint a base coat of grey• Trace horizontal lines in order to imi-tate the wood’s grain and lay maskingtape over these lines• Combine a container of grey paint witha bit of glaze and repeat the operationwith some brown paint• Use a paint brush with stiff bristles topaint each “plank” with both colours
• Leave the paint to dry and then removethe masking tape• Spread a mix of off-white glaze on oneplank at a time and then slide a smalltool, called a wood graining rocker, to re-produce the grainy look of the wood• To tone down the effect, dab with anovergrainer brush and finish with a goodcoat of varnish

The powder room, or “downstairs” wash-room, gets a lot of use, both by members ofyour family as well as by guests. That iswhy some ingenious planning is required tomake the most of this typically small space.
You could keep the existing layout and justchange the bathroom fittings, the lighting,and the floor covering, or you could enlargeit by encroaching on underused neighbou-ring space. In that case, be sure to includeplumbing and electrical costs in your bud-get. It is a good idea to call in some profes-sionals at this point, as safety and efficiencyare paramount.
The big challenge is to create an airy lookwhile providing storagespace. If your powder roomis too narrow to accom-modate a vanity unit, thena pedestal or wall-mountedbasin could be the answer.A feeling of volume canbe given by doubling thewalls to include built-inelements or to create a re-
cess that can be used as a shelf. Opt for lowfurnishings, as higher ones will give theroom a crowded look. To maintain an illu-sion of spaciousness, avoid overcrowding.If you want to lay some tiles, opt for largedimensions and don’t forget to buy a fewextra in case of breakage.
Tastes and colours are always a very per-sonal matter. That said, it is usually prefe-rable to stick with pale colours in cool tonesrather than warm, darker ones, which tendto make a room look smaller. At the veryleast, plan to keep the ceiling white. Lastly,choose accessories that have a dual func-tion, such as heated towel rails or a mirrorwith integrated lighting.
A few tips for renovatinga powder room
A few simple tricks can so-metimes be enough to im-prove the quality of life ofelderly people who live intheir own homes.
The biggest tip of all is tothink about de-cluttering theliving space. Low pieces offurniture, rugs, and electricwires on the floor are oftenthe cause of falls. Pay parti-cular attention to high-trafficareas and the bedroom, es-pecially around the bed.
SAFETY ACCESSORIESConveniently placed furniture and grab barsinstalled in strategic places facilitate an el-derly person’s movements around the home.Grab bars are also a priority in the bath-room, where devices that help prevent fallsare vital. Anti-slip flooring is also essential.Baths can be suitable for those who do nothave mobility problems; however, a hand-held shower can be much easier to use foran elderly person, especially if they can siton a shower bench and have grab bars to usefor standing up, sitting down, and getting inand out of the cubicle or bathtub.
APPROPRIATE LIGHT FIXTURESWhere possible, the bedroom should be
on the ground floor and be located neara bathroom. Not having to negotiate stairs,especially at night, is an important safetyfactor. Space and clutter can be maximi-zed by reducing a room’s furniture to thebare essentials. Wall lights are also a goodidea, with switches placed in convenient spotsto facilitate access. A bed with a remote-controlled base gives much-appreciatedcomfort when an elderly person wishesto read or watch television before goingto sleep.
Above all, keep comfort and safety in mind,without forgetting about the individual’s tas-tes, needs, and habits.
A safer home for the elderly
A bedroom is a very personal room thatshould reflect your image and tastes. Inother words, you should feel comfortableand rested while you’re there so that youcan get a good night’s sleep. But creating aZen room doesn’t just mean putting a fewbamboo canes in a vase in the corner. Crea-ting the desired effect will take a bit of careand regular maintenance.
To have a cozy and inviting sleeping space,avoid cluttering up the room with furnitureand other objects that don’t belong there.Choose your bed with care, as it shouldbe the focal point of the room. Add bed-side tables and a simple closet or chest of
drawers. Don’t forget to turn the mattressfrom time to time and remember to changethe mattress and box spring about everyten years.
Create a relaxing atmosphere by optingfor natural materials; wood is a classicchoice.Avoid lacquers and varnishes, whichcan sometimes emit toxic fumes harmfulto your health. Choose colours that youfind pleasing as well as comforting. Fa-vour soft lighting, which is conducive toa subdued and relaxing atmosphere, andplace some soft, natural fibre rugs on thefloor to dampen noise. Be sure to sleep innatural fabric sheets and keep in mind that
airing the room beforegoing to bed can help tochase away insomnia.
With a bit of attention, youcan create a cozy spacewhere it is easy to un-wind from your day andget the rest that you need.After all, some peoplemight fall asleep as soonas their heads touch thepillow, but that’s not thecase for all of us!
A portrait of a cozy bedroom
Create a Zen atmospherein the bedroom in orderto get a good night’s sleep.
Having a good environmental consciencesometimes means asking yourself a fewquestions when the time comes to do workaround the house. Fortunately, manufactu-rers and retailers have begun to understandthat the general public is concerned aboutthe environment and have made many eco-friendly products and solutions available.When doing home improvement jobs, it isnow possible to make sensible choices thatwon’t compromise the health of your family.
The first thing to do for a more eco-friendlyhome is to improve its energy efficiency.Cutting back on heat and air-conditioningrequirements is a green choice that will alsoreduce your gas or electric bill. After carry-ing out tests to detect where air and heat areescaping, a specialist can help you decidewhere insulation can increase your efficiencyand whether a new roof, windows, doors, orfloor coverings can have an impact.
Installing faucets that limit water wastage inthe kitchen and bathroom is also a priority.By choosing eco-friendly materials for thecabinets and vanities, you can avoid beingexposed to toxic products released when cer-
tain conditions are present, such as high hu-midity levels in bathrooms.
No matter what type of work is needed insideor outside the home, you can now opt for recy-cled products or those that have been designedusing fewer or even no toxic products. Choosenatural materials wherever possible, such asreal wood, and ensure that it is of good qua-lity. And be sure to use house paint that is freeof volatile organic compounds to ensure betterair quality in the home.
Eco-friendly renovationsare better for your health
You can avoid health-endangering chemicalpollutants by opting for eco-friendly products.

White is making a huge comeback in inte-rior decorating. This trend is not entirelysurprising, considering the wide range ofdifferent tones which blend perfectly withany type of décor. Surprisingly enough, whiteis never really white; it comes tinted lightly,or not so lightly, to produce various effects.Emerging trends are dominated by its subtlenuances and, when it includes more colour,it provides a light and pleasing complemen-tary touch.
Warm whites tinted with ochre or brown areperfect for creating a friendly, cozy atmos-phere. This year, whites also come in shadesof yellow, red, and orange for creating warmdécors. Whites tinted with blue or gray areparticularly popular for blending with to-day’s fashionable colour schemes in which
blue is a predominant colour. When choos-ing white paint, compare the paint chip witha sheet of pure white paper in order to deter-mine the exact shade.
To select the shade of white which will har-monize best with your décor, professionalsrecommend testing paint samples in the natu-ral light of the room. Test the colour close tofurniture, objects, and other important ele-ments. When associated with neutral tones,such as taupe or beige, white creates a gen-tle, peaceful atmosphere. On the other hand,it becomes fresh and dynamic when com-bined with bright colours.
Synonymous with purity, cleanliness, andsoftness, white enhances furniture, acces-sories, and paintings. It also improves by
being combined withquality materials suchas metal and lacque-red wood for a mo-dern style or wickerand natural wood fora more rustic look.
Falling in love with white
Warm whites tintedwith ochre or brownare perfect for creatinga friendly, cozyatmosphere.
Boring, flat walls, be gone! Wallpaper,ceramic, decorative stone, and wood arethe textures are in the spotlight these days.
WALLPAPERToday’s wallpapers imitate an infinitenumber of textures, ranging from carbonfibre with a padded look to natural mate-rials such as brick, leather, wood, andeven wool. Trompe l’oeil wallpaper canimitate bookshelves or paintings, crea-ting an optical illusion of depth, or theycan display a nature theme, with enor-mous colourful patterns that instantlybrighten a room. For a flawless classicallook, wallpaper made of fibres trans-
forms the room into a perfect setting forall your treasures.
CERAMICTo create intrigue and dimension, thevery latest ceramic wall tiles are three-dimensional; their sculpted surfaces andwhimsical shapes, such as weaves, knots,and seashells, interact with the light inthe room. Attractive and affordable, theywill truly change the way you see yourwalls. Ceramic tiles imitating stainlesssteel mosaics are also available.
DECORATIVE STONEDecorative stone adds texture to interior
walls, is not as costly asbrickwork, and is easier tolay. It is also surprisingly re-alistic; when laid vertically,it creates a dynamic look.WOODWood comes in many diffe-rent forms. Consumers canchoose vertical, horizontal,or diagonal wall-to-wall pa-nelling for classic eleganceor daring, undulating panelsfor a fresh new look. It’seven possible to lay a float-ing floor on a wall!
So, who said staring at thewall was boring?
Many people think of their kitchen as theheart of their home, a living space wherethey spend hours preparing food, eating,and cleaning up every day. That’s why theefficient use of space is a very importantelement in any kitchen. One design rulehas proved its worth over the years: thework triangle. Here is a short geometrylesson for those who aren’t familiar withthis concept.
First of all, the three main zones of thekitchen are the cooking zone (stove and mi-crowave), washing zone (sink, dishwasher,garbage and recycling bins), and provisionszone (refrigerator, cupboards, and pantry).
These three zones have to be situated at apractical distancefrom one anotherin order to cre-ate a user-friendlykitchen. Togetherthey should form
a triangle which, in an ideal scenario, hasthree equal (or almost equal) sides.
A FEW TIPS• Avoid placing the fridge, sink, or stove atan angle• Plan to have enough standing room in frontof each appliance (at least 120 cm), espe-cially when there are two facing each other• Position the dishwasher to the right of thesink to facilitate rinsing the dishes andplacing them in the dishwasher (if you’reright-handed)• Position the storage zone (cupboards anddrawers where dishes are stored) betweenthe provisions zone and the washing zone• Position the work zone (countertops) closeto the cooking zone and the washing zone
Barn wood is all the rage at the moment.That’s right, we’re talking about all thoseold boards holding up sagging, abando-ned barns and sheds along country roads.Neglected for years on end, barn boardshave a unique weathered look that is per-fect for the “shabby chic” and “roughluxe” trends.
Whether used as wall covering, beams,floors, or ceilings, or even to create ta-bles, bookshelves, or kitchen islands,these greying wood planks give instantcharacter and warmth to a room. Fora contemporary look, blend rustic andmodern by adding touches of barn woodto accessories in stainless steel, glass,and stone.
You can create your own barn board lookon regular wood by following these fewsteps:
• Sand the chosen surface and apply acoat of primer• Paint a base coat of grey• Trace horizontal lines in order to imi-tate the wood’s grain and lay maskingtape over these lines• Combine a container of grey paint witha bit of glaze and repeat the operationwith some brown paint• Use a paint brush with stiff bristles topaint each “plank” with both colours
• Leave the paint to dry and then removethe masking tape• Spread a mix of off-white glaze on oneplank at a time and then slide a smalltool, called a wood graining rocker, to re-produce the grainy look of the wood• To tone down the effect, dab with anovergrainer brush and finish with a goodcoat of varnish
Barn wood is in
When used judiciously, weathered barnboards give character and warmth
to a room.
