homesThe blues
are singing into 2013
Kim cooKTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bringing new colours into our homes can help refresh and recalibrate our spirits. This spring, blues may be just the tonic we need.
Many colour marketing and manufacturing groups have named some version of blue among their 2013 colours of the year. AzkoNo-bel likes indigo; Pantone’s top palette includes Monaco Blue, a mix of royal and na-vy; Color Marketing Group chose mid-range blues. That means that lots of home re-tailers will be singing the blues this spring, in a good way.
Blues range from energet-ic to restful. They can call to mind the graduated blues of the sky or those of the oceans, rivers and lagoons.
Blues play well with most
colours, textures and room styles.
Rustic woven elements bring indigo home with a traditional, often global sen-sibility. Canadian designer Windsor Shaw pairs indigo silk drapes with a jute rug, for example. Sleek lacquer-ware and silver accessories take blue into smart city-modern territory.
Blue and white is a combi-nation with lots of possibili-ties. Sara Peterson, HGTV Magazine’s editor in chief, says, “We love soft blue-greys in master bedrooms, with white linens and dark wood furniture. Light blue is really pretty on painted kitchen cabinets with white countertops. In a kid’s room, cobalt blue is fun when paired with painted white furniture and bursts of bright accent colours, like fuchsia or lime green.”
RH Baby and Child has a reversible navy and natural braided wool rug, while Res-toration Hardware offers Ben Soleimani’s heathered navy pinstripe rug; both would be great bases for oth-er navy touches in a room. (www.rhbabyandchild.com;
www.rh.com)Crate & Barrel and CB2
have some peppy peacock-blue pieces in the spring col-lections. The latter’s got the low-slung Avec sofa, skinny John floor lamp, and the Yo-lo flat-weave rug in a fresh, fun peacock and white circle print. (www.crateandbarrel.com)
At C&B there’s the little Willa wooden chair in perky peacock, and the Kruger pa-tio side table and stool come in a deep ultramarine called Harbor Blue. (www.cb2.com)
This spring, Target’s Threshold collection fea-tures an array of landscape blues, focusing on one in particular.
“As we travelled through Europe and Asia on our trend trips, teal started to become more prominent,” says Julie Guggemos, vice-president of product devel-opment.
Target’s spring collection includes an ikat print show-er curtain, a floral door mat and a ceramic lamp in teal. (www.target.com)
Indigo, an inky shade of-ten found in dyed textiles,
works with a variety of in-terior styles. It anchors neu-trals less harshly than black, and it’s a sophisticated counterpoint to bright colours or pastels.
HomeGoods has well-priced, indigo printed upholstered chairs, fabric-covered stor-age boxes and ikat patterned towels. (www.homegoods.com)
Deep water or blueberries come to mind with Monaco Blue. It pops against many
of the season’s more playful shades, such as nectarine, pea green, violet, poppy red
and lemony yellow.T u r q u o i s e ,
which held sway ove r m u ch o f 2012’s colour sto-ry, stays strong into spring. The colour’s pretty, yet carries an edge. M o d e r n d e c o r looks great in tur-quoise: Ikea’s Klip-pan sofa comes in a version that will have you think-ing of the tropics. Go with that vibe by pairing it with textural white and c r e a m a c c e s s o -ries evoking sandy b e a c h e s , n u b by shells and palm bark. (www.ikea.com)
Safavieh of fers the Paris ceramic table lamp in a gen-tle light blue or the more emphatic na-vy. An upholstered ottoman in powder or ink would be a
chic addition. (www.safaviehhome.com)
Nifty shades of blue dominate spring

spring.

Well, I’m certainly at a loss to find understanding or rationale in what is now a proposal to change the electoral boundaries in Saskatch-ewan. This is a proposal that sits on the agenda before parliamen-tary committee and then likely the House of Commons and I hope the ideas therein will be given more thoughtful consideration.
A proposal that certainly offers to divide communities, encourage fragmentation and not collabora-tion, and sow the seeds of margin-al and ineffective representation by our MPs in Ottawa.
There will not be one more seat for Saskatchewan, but there will be four less seats in Saskatoon and Regina at a time when these two cities are the fastest growing in the country. Instead of holistic consid-eration and a connectedness with current institutions in society and instead of modernization and ini-tiatives advocating for economies of scale, regional advantage, the
reduction of red tape these most absurd musings offer the opposite.
This process is neither a celebra-tion of democracy at work, nor is it representative of the dynamic that is changing Saskatchewan commu-nities and driving Saskatchewan forward; the dynamic with many hands at the wheel from country to city and farm to factory which pro-pels this province as never before.
Consider why we amalgamated school boards, health regions and created boards and authorities to achieve efficiencies, serve more effectively and build communities and the province together. The rea-son why we sit at the same table to create, innovate and build despite a plethora of governing bodies that don’t align common interests is because we get it. We know we have to work together, work smart-er and align to serve common interests. We form volunteer fire departments, regional water and sewer utilities and regional plan-ning commissions. We develop emergency response plans, sup-port community parks and ame-nities in small communities, and we volunteer together because we share interests and commitment to our neighbours, communities, the region and the province.
In considering nearly all of these scenarios I’ve presented, whether your community is a bed-room community of 100 residenc-
es, or a regional municipality with population surging past 50,000, we all rely on senior government support for infrastructure fund-ing, regional community services and much more that frankly isn’t realized without business people sitting with retirees, developers sitting with farmers, and cities reaching out to support communi-ties that in turn support the cities.
There are thousands of cases to illustrate that what I describe works, and in a vast province such as Saskatchewan the frameworks of governance matter to commu-nity building and regional advan-tage. In our own regions around Saskatoon or Regina and all our cities, governing authorities have been instrumental in working with many municipal governments and the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada to bring water from state-of-the-art facilities in cities to farms, villages and industry — a step, though a small one, which is clearly in the right direction.
Ponder also why natural eco-nomic gravity results in a commu-nity of interests, because it works, it’s efficient and it’s sustainable. The common sense of the dissent-ing realist on the panel that offered this proposal, David Marit, CEO of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has been marginalized by seemingly narrow and self-serving urban interests. I
wish the R in SARM stood for re-gional, but time will have a hand in the way we evolve as a province. Regardless, Marit should not have been marginalized in this process and one has to wonder whether this process serves democracy or Saskatchewan when for the most part any dissenting voices were muted to serve a narrow agenda.
More so, a cynic might suggest that where some political interests have been unable to secure power through platforms and sound pol-icy, they choose to do so now by manipulating the electoral system. Learned academics would call that gerrymandering. If this proposal sees the light of day, there will never be room for dissent and cer-tainly the objective of accessible and participatory democracy will be at risk.
The voices of our MPs that we send to Ottawa, whether on hous-ing, infrastructure, health or edu-cation, are stronger when those who sit in government indeed rep-resent all of Saskatchewan. Our MPs must represent the towns and villages that support businesses in the city, the students that come from farms and far away to attend courses at SIAST, Regional Colleg-es or the University of Saskatch-ewan or University of Regina. Surely what we want as growing communities is collaboration and partnership, not fragmentation
and adversarial posturing. Many of us already commute
large distances for our work, to vol-unteer on regional boards or com-mittees and attend our hockey, soc-cer or other activities for children. We attend the district chamber functions or the regional economic development authority meetings. We work together more than ever on housing, health, education and infrastructure initiatives and we engage the province and Ottawa to complete the partnership process.
Let’s reject this balkanization of our province and let’s not go back-wards; rather, let’s build the future in Saskatchewan together.
Alan Thomarat is the president and CEO of the Canadian Home
Builders’ Association — Saskatch-ewan and the Saskatoon & Region
Home Builders Association. He also serves as a director on the national
board of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association in Ottawa.

It’s no secret that I love coated lumbers. I use them whenever I can on any job. They deliver benefits that meet environmental and safety standards that are im-portant — to me, homeown-ers, builders and industry pros. Is it above code? Yes. Is it unnecessary? Not in my world.
Building to minimum code is just that — mini-mum. It’s the least possible you need to do to construct a home in which it’s safe to live. But that’s it. That’s where it ends.
And how safe is too safe? What’s minimum safety any-way? These things change all the time. It wasn’t until 2004 that it became code to have a GFCI outlet in the kitchen — and they’ve been in bathrooms since 1984. It took 20 years for the rules to come full circle and prevent people from getting shocked if they plugged in something in the kitchen after washing dishes.
Any good contractor knows that if you can build better, you do. That’s taking into consideration what the homeowners want too. And the truth is the industry is always changing, developing new products, new materials and new technology. Some are good, some are bad. But at the end of the day these new products are being de-veloped because there’s a need for them. They can be environmental needs, safety needs, health needs ... you name it.
So someone might say,
”Mike, you’re going over-board” — and they do all the time. But for me it’s about addressing these needs. I ’m not making them up. The people I talk to and deal with every day care about fire resistance; protection against things like moisture and mould, insect damage, termites. Who wouldn’t care about these things when it comes to their home?
That’s where coated lum-bers come in.
There are different types of coated lumbers. They each provide different forms of protection depending on their coating. Some resist uncontrolled moisture ab-sorption, mould growth, rot and wood-ingesting insects, like termites. While another type might be resistant to mould and rot fungus and be a fire retardant, but not provide protection against termites. You need to know what you’re getting.
Coatings that have a fire retardant swell when ex-posed to fire, which insu-lates the wood from heat. This gives you and your family more time to get out of a burning house. Mould resistance means a healthi-er home. There are benefits across the board.
Get the right coverageThe most important thing
to know when choosing coated lumber is the envi-ronment in which it will be. For example, if the job is finishing a basement then getting a coated lumber that protects against mould should be your top priority. Basements are damp — per-fect environments for mould growth. All you need is the right organic food source — like drywall, wood, paper or carpet — the right tem-perature and moisture, and you’ve got mould.
You also have the option of getting whatever type of lumber you want and then getting it coated with a treatment that provides the protection your home needs. But if you go this route, know that any area of the lumber without the coating is unprotected. Getting the proper coverage is key. Man-ufacturers know how to do this right; they are trained pros. But if you want to give it a try make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions.
Let’s say all the sides of a two-by-four have a protec-tive coating that is supposed to stop termites from eat-ing the lumber. If the ends of the two-by-four aren’t coated, termites will enter through this weak spot and start chewing up the lum-ber.
And just because wood is coated doesn’t mean it’s good. Cheap wood that’s coated is still cheap. Make sure you have the right qual-ity of wood for the job first. Then make sure the coating provides the right protec-tion for your home’s envi-ronment.
If there aren’t any ter-mites where you live then you don’t need a coated lum-ber that protects against them. In that case it might be worth swapping termite resistance for a fire retar-dant.
And ask how long the coating lasts. Do they have a lifetime guarantee or a 25-year guarantee? This can give you an idea of the val-ue you’re investing in your home.

These titles help you do renovations by the bookPatrick LangSton
Postmedia News
If you doubt Canadians’ near obsession with home renovations — forecast by Canada Mortgage and Hous-ing Corp., to hit $65.6 billion in 2013 — just visit the home improvement area of your favourite bookstore.
Countless volumes crowd the shelves, guiding the nov-ice or veteran DIYer through everything from painting a ceiling to upgrading the electrical system.
Here’s a look at three re-cent publications.
Renovation 4th Edition: Completely Revised and
UpdatedMichael Litchfieldtazunton Press624 pages, $55
(hardcover)
There’s little this tome, basically a how-to manual, doesn’t cover: planning reno-vations, roofing, energy con-servation, window and door installation. Copious illustra-
tions and step-by-step photos complement the clear prose.
Litchfield, a founding edi-tor of Fine Homebuilding magazine and a renovator himself, includes current issues such as space utiliza-tion and building sustain-ably, along with such nuggets as using denatured alcohol to remove pencil marks from wood after you’ve marked and cut it.
The downside for Cana-dian readers is that this is a U.S. publication. Mostly that doesn’t matter until you hit sections such as the map showing insulation values recommended for various geographical regions — they include nothing north of the 49th parallel.
Young House Love: 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update
& Show Your Home Some Love
Sherry and John Petersikartisan Press
336 pages, $29.95 (hardcover)
The perky factor wears thin, and some of the proj-
ects are dopey (do you really think you’ll still like that driftwood twig mirror in five years?) but this book has enough interesting money-saving ideas for sprucing up your home to benefit many novice DIYers.
The Petersiks are uber-popular home reno blog-gers (YoungHouseLove.com) and their writing style here is breezy and informative. Marshalling hundreds of photographs and illustra-tions, the duo show how to make a no-frills photograph display ledge, turn an old door into a bed or headboard and customize a backsplash.
Helpfully, each project is rated for comparative cost, difficulty and time required. Sidebars on using coupons, eBay and other cost-saving ideas round out the Peter-siks’ gung-ho package.
Not So Big Remodeling: Tailoring Your Home for the
Way You Really LiveSarah Susanka, Marc Vassallotaunton Press
336 pages, $27.95 (softcover)
American architect Sarah Susanka has made a big ca-reer out of advocating for small houses. In fact, she’s often credited with initiating the small house movement, starting with her book The Not So Big House in 1997.
Originally published as a hardcover in 2009, her book on remodelling — a joint ef-fort with writer Marc Vassal-lo — shows how a home can feel bigger and more welcom-ing with a few small changes. Foyer feels too cramped, for example? Inject space and brightness by dumping the closet and install a new door and a window. Way cheaper than adding square footage.
Loaded with photos and floor plans, questions to help you determine needs and priorities, and ideas on recycling materials, the book does not include de-tailed project instructions. Instead, it’s meant to inspire you to do more with less. The book’s 43 case studies are a solid step in that direction.

Q: My son’s hockey bag got cat urine or cat sprays on it ... yuck. It has plastic wheels and is quite large so I can’t throw it in the washing ma-chine. Any suggestions?
A: Fill your bathtub with hot water and a half cup of heavy duty laundry deter-gent and one cup baking so-da. Soak for three hours and rinse with hot water until no traces of detergent remain.
Q: I put foil on the bot-tom of my new wall oven to catch grease from pork chops, not realizing the heating element is below the surface. Now the tinfoil is melted and “fused” to the bottom. I have tried soaking it, using vinegar and baking soda, but to no avail. Any suggestions you may have to restore my oven would be greatly appreciated. .
A: I am assuming that you are talking about a self-clean oven. There isn’t any safe way to quickly remove the foil without damag-ing the porcelain finish of the oven. But you can use a plastic scrub pad, some liquid dish soap and a plas-tic scraper to remove loose pieces, this is best done when the oven is warm (be careful not to burn your-self). When you are wiping out the oven, periodically use a plastic scrub pad and each time more will come off. The great news is that the self-cleaning oven fea-ture will eventually remove the foil; but it may take sev-eral cleaning cycles and a bunch of patience.
Q: My husband got bike tire marks on his nice, light-beige cotton slacks. I know that I could do the wrong thing and make the marks look worse so I need your suggestions. The material tag states Dockers; 60 per cent Cotton and 40 per cent Micropoly Dupont Teflon.
A: One of the best prod-ucts to combat this stain is to scrub the area with a Sunlight laundry soap bar. Wash as usual and repeat until the stain is gone. Be careful not to put the pants into the dryer until the marks are gone.
Q: I purchased some rub-ber mats for my new car and I can’t get rid of the rubber smell. I’ve scrubbed them, frozen them and poured boiling hot water on them, and still they smell. Can you help?
A: What you smell are emissions from the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the rubber. You can leave the mats outside for a few days, wash them with vin-egar, tea tree oil and water, sprinkle them with coffee grounds, or wash them in the bathtub with laundry detergent. However, even if the smell leaves for a while, it will likely return. If the odour is driving you up the wall it may be in your best interest to purchase or ex-change the mats for a differ-ent brand.
Q: Can you give me a rec-ipe for homemade dog food? My dog has lots of allergies and therefore I want to be aware of the ingredients.
A: Into a pot combine: eight cups water, two pounds ground turkey, one cup brown rice, one teaspoon rosemary and one teaspoon basil. Heat, scramble and cook thoroughly. Simmer 20 minutes. Add two cups fro-zen vegetables and cook for five minutes. Remove from heat, cool and serve. Refrig-erate or eat leftovers. If your dog has allergies to any of these ingredients, look for substitutes. For instance, some rice sold in supermar-kets may contain gluten, which can be a problem for some dogs. In this case, look for gluten-free rice.
Feedback from Reader Who Cares
A hint for the person who gets cracked skin in the win-ter. We use Vaseline; I put it on my feet and then put on a pair of socks. My hubby, who sometimes has to work outside puts it on his hands and then puts on a pair of mini gloves and then mitts. Problem solved in a couple of days.
Fabulous Tips of the Week
The best way to hammer ■a small nail into the wall is to use a small comb to hold the nail.
Remove a stuck ring by ■greasing your finger and ring with butter or oil. Wrap the entire finger with plas-tic wrap. Pull off the plastic wrap and ring; they should both slide off with ease.

Q: I want to paint our small den black. My Pinterest page is filled with images of black rooms, but our space is currently beige. My part-ner and I will use the den as an office-cum-library. We have piles of books and al-ready have a grey feature wall in our living room to highlight our fireplace, but painting a whole room is a big step. Should we leave it white or start with grey and go darker later?
A: Forget grey. Paint your office black. It seems that ev-erywhere I turn, dark green, navy and black rooms are popping up.
I was walking through the Lee Jofa showroom (leejofa.com) and happened upon this photo of a room by Robert Brown for Macrae. The walls are a high-gloss black. I know you are scared to commit, but take inspira-tion from this photo.
There are a few tricks at play that make this black room work. First, the glossy paint reflects light. But re-ally, it’s the wood Griffin writing table that warms the space. The large white painting with touches of amber and blue breaks up the dark panelling and keeps
the nook from looking like a cave. Large photography will also keep the room from looking like a dark hole. The sand-toned rug does the same thing.
What I’m getting at is you don’t want to add dark pieces to a dark room un-less you’re into feeling like you’re blindfolded. I had this issue with my parents as a
kid with the dark-panelled walls, wall-to-wall brown carpet and brown velvet sofas in our basement. The brown ceramic lamps bare-ly lit the room on family game night and when we or-dered pizza, there was never enough light to pick the an-chovies off my slice.
I mention this little per-sonal anecdote not only be-
cause I need more therapy, but also because I was re-cently in an all-black kitch-en. The homeowner had been inspired by the same type of dark and moody pho-tos you love. From the floor to the ceiling everything was black: cabinets, granite countertop, appliances and backsplash tile — there was not a single visual reprieve.
The people I was with (mostly men) thought it was dramatic; I thought it made for a very dark and unsani-tary kitchen where people would definitely not have enough light to cook or spot anchovies. A little marble, stainless steel or a butcher block would have gone a long way.
When decorating your office, keep in mind that you can get reprieve with a colourful collection of books or an upholstered armchair. If you want a high contrast office, add a modern white desk and chair. If your home has a recurring colour like lavender or green, then re-peat it in your office.
Last, don’t forget to re-peat black in the room as Mr. Brown does with the black-framed desk chair and dark side table. A dark room is a commitment. But you can paint with confidence, knowing that you will never be satisfied in the grey area.

Marilyn WilSonFor Postmedia News
A reader wrote me recently about how frustrated she and her husband are with the dust that accumulates in their 16th-floor condo. They love everything about condo living except the dust, which was the last thing they an-ticipated in a relatively new building.
They mentioned this problem to friends, who also reported having issues with dust. The common denomi-nator is that all of these people live on higher floors of condo buildings. This particular couple initially thought the dust problem would be limited to summer months, but they later found winter brought no relief.
There are many factors that can have a negative ef-fect on your dust quotient. Let’s address some of them.
HOOVER POWERWhat many people don’t
realize is that dust does not just collect as dust bunnies under the sofa and beds, it’s also stored in fabrics. Dust gets trapped in the pores of fabrics and stays there un-til someone disturbs it, at which point some of the dust is recirculated into the air, only to find another home as it settles. Pillows, carpets, drapes and sheers all store dust and dust mites.
So how do you rid your fabrics of these? It may not be as easy as you think.
Vacuuming picks up most of the visible dust, but the warm air you feel exhaust-ing from the vacuum con-tains smaller particles that are released into the air to look for another home.
One simple strategy to ad-dress this is to change your vacuum cleaner bag well be-
fore it gets full. You can usu-ally smell when a vacuum cleaner bag needs changing but, as some people have better sniffers than others, a good rule is to change the bag often. This is an exam-ple where half empty is bet-ter than half full. And what-ever you do, don’t put an air freshener in your vacuum. It’ll give your condo a chem-ical smell. In terms of vac-uum cleaner efficiency, do your research. If you have allergies, look for units with HEPA filters — these devices remove extra-small particles that contribute to allergies and that pass through regu-lar vacuum filters.
CARPET ATTRACTIONWalking on carpets and
sitting on fabric-covered furniture creates static elec-tricity. The drier the air, the more static electricity. The more textured the fabric, and the longer and more synthetic the carpet pile, the more static electricity. Static electricity attracts airborne particles to furniture and carpets, and holds them there, resisting efforts to vacuum them up.
A simple solution is to maintain the humidity in your condo unit at recom-mended levels in the winter. You can buy inexpensive hy-grometers for less than $20 at most electronics stores. If you can’t adjust humid-ity through your central-heating system, you can use room humidifiers.
OUT ON YOUR OWNI mentioned that the
reader who wrote to me about dust had found other owners with the same prob-lem. Talking to other condo owners in your building is a
great way to help limit your own dust. If other owners are experiencing similar is-sues, find out if your condo corporation can change air-conditioning and heating filters more often.
If dust is a huge problem in the building, it may war-rant a professional evalu-ation of the heating and air-conditioning systems. Changing the building’s fil-ters more frequently may reduce dust significantly.
You still have some con-trol over dust at your unit level by cleaning your refrig-erator and dryer vents more often. You may also want to investigate self-contained, unit-level air filters and pu-rifiers.
DOOR AND WINDOW SEALS
Much of the dust in your condo unit comes in through the building’s hallways. These are usually carpeted for a number of valid rea-sons, but people entering the building bring in dust on their shoes and clothes, and this is deposited on the car-pet.
Bill Bellingham of heating and cooling specialist J.C. Robinson & Sons says many newer condo buildings have a slight positive pressure in the hallways for fire safety. Although this is generally a good thing, when someone enters a condo unit, the dust from the hall is disturbed and enters the unit along with the person.
If the hall is pressurized, there is a constant attempt to drive air into the unit around the door. This is why you must ensure your door is well sealed. Sealing also ap-plies to windows, especially on higher floors, where dust rising from the street can en-ter around the windows.
In summer months, win-dow screens can help catch dust before it gets in.
A FRESH COATBelieve it or not, a fresh
coat of paint can help cut down on dust. As paint ages, it dries out and comes off as a fine dust. The solution to this is regular painting. Don’t forget to include your ceilings in the list of “must paint.” The glossier the paint, the less it will attract dust.
DENSITY
Condos are often situated in high-density areas. If you are living in a high-traffic area with a lot of develop-ment going on, you may also experience more dust. The increased level of local traf-fic helps brew dust.
LIGHTWhile this may not actual-
ly contribute to dust levels, increased light provided by southern or western expo-
sure may help reveal dust you normally wouldn’t see. This may not necessarily be due to the presence of more dust, but simply to increased illumination by sunlight.

Q: Do you have any advice on decorating around musical instruments? I have a num-ber of friends who enjoy play-ing larger instruments such as the cello and the harp, and I play the piano. Recently, I acquired my aunt’s grand piano. However, my up-right had been conveniently tucked into the study, while the grand will be displayed in the living room. We have the space but I don’t know how to incorporate this piece into the room. My friends have the same problem.
A: Congratulations on your acquisition. A grand piano is a stunning piece of furniture that will require some consideration. Few design elements come with a list of “conditions” before they are incorporated into a design space, but musical instruments warrant this ad-ditional attention. First, you need to talk with an expert regarding the proper care of the instrument. As a musi-cian, you will appreciate that these are sensitive items that require temperature and hu-midity control. Although it may be inspiring to play in front of an open view, win-dows may invite heat and ul-traviolet rays, both of which may adversely affect the in-strument over time.
Another error is to assume the instrument has to be the room’s main focal point. This is not necessarily so.
Living and dining rooms tend to have focal points in the form of fireplaces, fea-ture walls or windows with a view. An instrument can highlight a window feature, but ensure that the light ex-posure is not too harsh and that the window treatments provide protection from heat. It is perfectly all right to al-low features like a fireplace to remain the room’s main focus, while the instrument
is a secondary feature. Your seating area does not
need to be orientated toward the instrument, either — this is your home, not a concert hall. Consider placing your furniture around the fire-place and place the piano to the side, behind the seating area.
Another option is to cre-ate a separate music nook within the room. The instru-ments should be accessible, but the nook can be treated as a special space that adds an intriguing accent to the
room. Large rooms can suc-cessfully integrate separate functions such as a conversa-tion area, a music area and a reading space, as long as they are not trying to compete.
Q: Every year I hear about what the “new black” is in the colour world. What does that mean?
A: In the traditional school of interior design, black was considered a staple. It grounded a design space by adding visual weight and provided balance through
the concept of contrast. Black was to design as salt is to cooking. You don’t need a lot to make an impact.
With technological advanc-es in fabrics and colours, in-terior designers now have a large selection of elements to choose from. Each year, the colour gurus check the world’s pulse and develop colour trends that are intro-duced as the “must-haves of the season.”
In recent years, we have heard the hottest of these colours referred to as “the new black.” This means that a new trend is highlighting a particular colour or group of colours.
Adding the suggested trend to your decor is expected to produce a result as similar to what the original touch of black did. Properly applied, the “new black” will solid-ify your design, anchor the space and provide a seamless balance, all while creating a fresh wow factor.
This year’s hot colours vy-ing to dethrone black include emerald green, tangerine orange and aubergine (dark purple). This is not to say that everyone needs to change
their designs and start incor-porating these colours into their rooms. It simply means that there will be new interi-or-design elements dedicated to these colours, should you
be interested in a fresh look.
