THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mike Holmes, famous for calling out bad plumbing, woodworking and electrical work on the HGTV show Holmes on Homes, says there are steps homebuyers can take to avoid many of those problems.

Holmes has a new show on Fox called Home Free (Wednesdays at 9 p.m.)

It’s a competition show on which nine couples are challenged to restore a run-down home in Atlanta.

They must live on the job site and follow Holmes’ no-nonsense instruction.

Couples whose work isn’t up to code are gradually eliminated, with the surprise twist that they are then awarded the home.

Holmes offers some advice for people looking to buy a home.

— Associated Press: What’s the biggest mistake people make when looking to buy a home?

— Holmes: We buy based on illusion. We don’t buy with intelligence. We trust

a real estate agent that we don’t even know. More than anything, we buy by what we see. ’Oh my god, it’s got new paint. Look at the curb appeal.’ I’m trying to impress on people that you need to do as much homework as possible.

It’s you that gets caught holding the bag. Education is the key to everything.

Once you buy that house, it is yours. Nobody else’s.

— AP: Take me through a typical scenario of someone buying a home.

— Holmes: Take a couple we’ll call Mary and Joe. They decide to buy a house and they get excited, so all of a sudden their emotions change. Mary and Joe start looking on the Internet, they start driving around and picking a property, and then they look for a real estate agent. And when they pick the house they want, then they start looking for a home inspector. If you plan on buying a property, you should look for a real estate agent first. Find the best real estate agent on the market.

Ken Welte

Before you start looking at a house, find the best home inspector there is.

— AP: How do you find the right real estate agent or home inspector?

— Holmes: Ask, ’How long have you been in the business? What areas have you worked in? How many houses have you sold?’ In other words, you start by asking a ton of questions, and you want answers. ’Do you have a list of references?’ Call the references and ask, ’Were they good?

Were they courteous? Did you get (taken advantage of) in any way?’ To a home inspector, ask, ’How long have you been in the business? Did you do construction before you did inspection?’

— AP: What’s the biggest problem in home construction today?

— Holmes: Mold is the No. 1 problem everywhere.

You can’t see it, and if you can’t see it, you don’t know what you’re breathing in, and I believe it’s the reason for the rise of asthma and allergies.

Get ready to mix things up for fall trends With the popularity of midcentury modern, some designers are ready to move forward to a 1980s redux with a table lamp, chandelier or distinct accessory like a large vase or unique table sculpture,” he says.

Jordan says the handmade look extends to metals: “We’re seeing materials hand-carved, forged and assembled. Imperfections and flaws in materials like iron, wood, concrete and hand-woven wool only add to the character of the piece.”

One interesting place to see this trend is the bathroom: vintage-style, weathered-bronze and cast-iron fixtures.

Stone Forest introduced the Ore vessel sink, inspired by an antique steel pipe cap. The Industrial series, with a cast-iron sink, towel bar and paper holder, has an oldschool factory quality.

Interesting woods continue to make inroads in furniture, flooring and doors. Watch for acacia, walnut, birch, maple and beech, and finishes ranging from weatherworn to highly lacquered.

Pottery Barn’s new Bowry collection of tables and storage units uses reclaimed acacia, teak and mango hardwoods. The Warren pulley lamp’s rustic-finished iron and functioning pulleys make for a steampunk-style fixture.

Konekt designer Helena Sultan’s Pause chaise lounge perches a comfy upholstered seat on brass or chrome legs, in several finishes.

And saddle and butter-soft leathers are strong players in ottomans, director’s and club chairs, and benches.

The flip side is the proliferation of translucents like acrylic and glass, often combined with other materials.

“These materials are being combined with unique fabrics like fur to create a clearly contemporary trend,” says Murphy. “We see this where the tops of settees, benches and stools are covered with a luxe fur and fabrics, and the legs are made from clear materials.”

Jonathan Adler has a Lucite etagere with polished brass joinery, and a burled wood desk on Lucite legs. Gus Modern’s acrylic end table is etched with a white grain pattern to look like a piece of timber.

KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I

f you’re looking to update your home decor this fall, you’ll find new furniture profiles, accents and textures galore, in everything from rugs to wall coverings to ceramics and bedding.

The trend toward mixing things up continues, from rustic to contemporary with a dash of traditional.

“What’s interesting is the warm breath of traditional style that infuses the season’s midcentury influence: Furniture, textiles and accessories, no matter how sleeklined, are warm, inviting and touchable,” says New York designer Elaine Griffin.

Also coming on is the handmade or “collected” vibe.

“Our desire for authenticity, as well as for finely crafted and small production design, is resonating,” says Jackie Jordan, colour marketing director for the paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams. “We want to know whose hands actually created the object we’re purchasing, and how and where the materials were sourced.”

Griffin concurs: “This season, the handmade look reigns supreme, with highly-textured fabric weaves, wallpapers (faux bois, faux hand-painted murals, and multicolored and metallic-layered geometric prints) and appliqued effects on upholstery.”

Expect more tabletop accent pieces and furniture labeled with place of origin and/or maker’s information, whether they were crafted in Indiana or India.

One new kid in town is Scandinavian style. Simple, clean lines, gentle colours and charming motifs make for a look that’s contemporary and accessible.

And the dark horse? With the popularity of midcentury modern, some designers are ready to move forward to a 1980s redux. Decorators have welcomed ’60s- and ’70s-era macrame, flame stitch, classic furniture and retro fabric prints. Will they also embrace Memphis style — the ’80s design movement characterized by disparate geometric shapes and contrasting colours? Griffin thinks there’ll be more to this trend come spring.

COLOUR Jordan sees a shift “to soft monochromatic palettes,” citing creamy whites and mineral tones — grey, khaki, earth tones, and nature-inspired hues like spruce, smoke, pond and shell pink.

“The serenity of these colours provides a sense of calm to balance our hectic lifestyles, and celebrates natural materials, honed, soft and sheer finishes,” she says.

Stronger hues are in play, too. Griffin sees last spring’s pale pastels evolving into deeper, Southwestern hues like terracotta, pale pumpkin, deep salmon, dusty rose citron, and smoky French and teal blues.

Look too for boozy, midcentury modern hues: brandy, burgundy, whiskey and merlot, as well as navy and olive.

MATERIALS Again, it’s all about the mix. “For both furniture and accessories, when it comes to finishes this fall, one is a lonely number,” Griffin says. “The freshest looks com-

bine at least two colours and materials, like black lacquer with metallic accents (especially brass and copper); white enamel with gleaming metallic, acrylic pieces in harvest hues; and industrial iron paired with chrome.”

Patinated and polished brass, marble, copper, steel and mirror clad everything from accent pieces to furniture.

See West Elm, Wisteria and CB2 for examples.

While silver and chrome are big players, Michael Murphy, design and trends producer for Lamps Plus, says brass and gold will be especially strong, especially in softer, burnished tones.

“These metals can be easily introduced in the home

PATTERN AND TEXTURE Channel quilting, in which stitching runs in one continuous line, is another trend to watch for. The straight lines, even spacing, design detail and comfort all add to its appeal. “This is part of the continued resurgence of Art Deco, which is synonymous with fluid lines, bold shapes, lavish ornamentation and metallic finishes,” says Murphy.

Look for rattan and other woven fibers in items beyond basketry, like wall art, bowls and ottomans.

Shags, nubby wools, Southwest-patterned flat weaves and Impressionist-patterned Indian silks will be on the floor of rug departments this fall. West Elm has some graphic kilim rugs and pillows.

Geometrics and facets cover textiles, vases and mirror frames. Some have an organic quality — think beehives or reptile skin. But rendered in iron or wood, they can have an industrial vibe.

In wallpaper, look to Tempaper, Wolfum and Timorous Beasties for intriguing patterns ranging from ’80s Southwest to Japanese archival prints to nature themes.

Use children’s book themes to inspire decor KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Using children’s books as inspiration for bedrooms and playrooms is one way to introduce a child to literature. It also can be just a fun, imaginative way to decorate.

“I lifted the oranges, greens and yellows from the pages of The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte’s Web and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and used those colours in the fabrics, wall colour” and furniture of a child’s room, says Sheilah Michaels, an interior designer in Crozet,

Virginia, who designed the room for the Charlottesville Design House a few years ago. She used the classic kids’ books as her jumping-off point.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, she says.

“My heart was in (it), as I was an avid reader growing up and my grandparents had a book business,” Michaels says.

She also channeled Beatrix Potter, using watercolour artwork, a tea set, a hand-painted dresser, and a lamp with flower and garden motifs reminiscent of Mr. McGregor’s garden from The

Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Many designers and retailers, from bookstores to home-decorating stores, have picked up on the theme of children’s literature as decor inspiration.

(Pottery Barn Kids stocks Peter Rabbit-themed bedding, for example.)

The work of authors and illustrators such as James Gurney, Jan Brett, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, Steven Kellogg and many more is also available online in unframed, downloadable or ready-to-hang art. Check web-

sites like Etsy, Art.com, Zazzle and Books of Wonder.

Some images can be transferred to photo fabric and crafted into pillow covers or window coverings.

Cynthia Mehlberg, a designer in Gillette, Wyoming, crafts canvas pillows with quotes from Peter Pan, Hans Christian Andersen and others. www.etsy. com/shop/sweetmeadowdesigns “To quote famous classic children’s literature keeps those words alive, introducing them to a whole new generation,” she says.

“And knowing that those words may inspire a child makes my heart sing.”

Besides using artwork from kids’ books, you can integrate the books’ overall style into a room. A palette of browns, indigo and grey; shaggy ottomans; and a big sailboat pendant light set the scene for a Where the Wild Things Are rumpus room.

For an Alice in Wonderland room, use classic Victorian furniture and black-and-white checkerboard textiles. Add a big vintage-style wall clock and a teacup lamp.
