DECOR ON A

DIME 10 budget-friendly hacks for your home CATHY HOBBS | Tribune News Service

W

hat’s wonderful about interior design is that it doesn’t always have to be expensive to look expensive. If you’re looking for affordable ways to refresh your space, here are some Design Recipes hacks, all under $100.

1 Mirrors as a headboard Whether you are using mirrors horizontally to widen a space, vertically to add height or in a grid pattern to mimic windows, this is a great way to bounce light.

2 Removable wallpaper Not sure you want to take the plunge? Try using a removable or temporary wallpaper.

3 Incorporate industrial elements Industrial pipe can be used for everything from ladder rungs to helping hold up shelves.

4 Curtains made from drop cloths Who doesn’t love no-sew curtains? Drop cloths are the perfect weight of cotton for a curtain, especially for those looking for privacy. Grab some drapery pins, attach them to a rod, add grommets, and you’re good to go.

5 Repurposed items as shelves From recycled wood to skateboards in a child’s room or family space, it’s time to get creative.

16

6 Succulents in sand

Tiny succulents are hearty enough to be around for weeks if not months. Pair them with plain white sand in a glass jar or vessel, and you have a beautiful accent piece for your home.

7 Affordable side tables and carts

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE PHOTOS

Bar carts or side tables don’t have to be traditional. Garden stools and carts can be used as side tables and decorative accents.

Mirrors serve as a visual headboard in this master bedroom.

8 Items placed in shadow boxes Rice paper is both modern and neutral. One creative idea is to place large pieces in frames.

9 Wine glasses as candle holders

Framed rice paper in plexiglass adds a modern edge.

Just take wine glasses, flip them over, and place a small votive on the bottom, which now serves as the base for your candle. Put something decorative under the mouth of the glass for an even more creative look!

10 Removable wall stickers These are so much fun and can add instant color and graphics to a space.

Succulents in vases with sand serve as a modern alternative to dried flowers.

STLtoday.com/homes

Skateboards serve as clever shelves in this child’s bedroom.

White — a popular paint shade — has some secret superpowers.

WHITE OUT 3 surprising things a lack of color can do for a space LAUREN PHILLIPS | Tribune Content Agency

W

hite paint is having a years-long moment in the spotlight, and its popularity might just keep going — but this popular paint color isn’t just pretty.

You may not have been able to quite put your finger on it, but white paint does a few things for its surroundings that other paint colors don’t. Call these benefits visual effects or design principles or white paint superpowers; they are one of many reasons you see white paint so often, and likely have helped white paint stay so popular for so long.

Wall painting is pretty subjective, so white paint might not be right for your space or lifestyle; there are plenty of dark paint colors out there that are just as beautiful on walls, trim, ceilings and more.

But if you’re trying to decide if you want to paint your walls white, these extra benefits of using the color, from Leigh Spicher, national director of design studios for homebuilder Ashton Woods, might just push you closer to making a decision.

And if you’re staunchly a fan of more colorful paint colors, at least you’ll have some smart design facts to share at your next dinner party.

1 It clears visual clutter

“White just clears your mind,” Spicher says. “It makes you a little bit more relaxed, and it gives you a little bit of space in your mind to make good choices.”

As the absence of color, white serves as a blank slate. Spicher uses it in her studio as a foundation because it makes it easier to choose other colors for decor, furnishings and more; in a room with white walls, picking complementary colors for the other items in the space is a little bit easier than it might be in, say, a room with pink walls. If you struggle to pull a room together, starting with white walls might make it all a little bit easier.

makes us feel good 2 It Maybe this should have been white paint superpower number one — who doesn’t want to feel good, after all?

Picture the white flag, the white wedding dress or the white dove.

In the psychology of color, white symbolizes peace and purity, Spicher says, feelings most people are drawn to.

“People just might not cognitively realize that white is actually the presence of light,” she says. “White gives us a lot of light in our homes, and that makes us feel good.”

3 It offers an

illusion of space

A lot of people are using white paint to create the illusion of space, Spicher says, to make rooms feel larger than they are. “If you’re working in a smaller space, [white paint] immediately will make it feel larger,” she says. “If you’re working in a large space, it will open it up even more.”

So there you have it: White paint can do a lot more than make your wall look fresh. Bring it into your home, and you might be able to take advantage of some of these surprising superpowers too.

How to select the right sofa for your space

ong or short, chaise or sectional — what are the best options when it comes to a sofa? One general rule of thumb is to pick your larger pieces first, such as your sofa, before making smaller selections such as chairs and accents. A sofa is really the foundation for the room and can make or break a room when it comes to floor plan and layout.

When selecting a sofa for your space, here are some general rules of thumb.

L

Do’s Choose your sofa once you 1 have a chance to understand

Don’t overlook hospitality-grade fabrics. Many designers solely choose hospitality-grade fabrics because of durability.

2

Don’t forget to consider using lower-profile sections of a sofa to form a single unit such as pairing two chaises, a left and a right side, together.

3

A low leather sofa adds the right feel in this family-room space.

Don’t dismiss the beauty of leather and faux leather. Once considered outdated, these materials are still considered to be modern and on trend.

4

how you wish a space to function.

Choose a neutral-colored sofa if you are looking for pieces that are timeless, can be used in different parts of the home and move with you from home to home.

2

3

Consider a sectional, especially for corner spaces.

4

Use longer sofas along long walls to help fill a space.

5

Look for style, feel, function and comfort.

20

Don’t purchase sofas in fabrics or colors that are considered trendy or won’t last the test of time.

A long sectional helps to elongate a living-room wall.

ORGANIZATION

6 Plastic planter trays

“It’s tempting to keep the trays after popping our spring blooms,” says Gordon. “Unless you’re a regular gardener, there’s no reason to keep these trays after transplanting.

Clear them out so you don’t have to deal with spiders or other garage critters that will make a home in them.”

7 Old sports equipment

TO TOSS Items in your garage you can get rid of right now SARAH YANG | Tribune Content Agency

f your garage has turned into the glorified dumping ground for anything that doesn’t fit in your house or that you’re just not quite ready to get rid of, it’s time to get a garbage bag and a donations box and tackle the task. Your garage is a great place to store cars, bikes, lawn tractors and garden tools — but it isn’t the place for broken-down tools, electronics or that hideous lime-green paint that you’re never going to use again. Here’s some help identifying the items that need to go and a list of the most common garage offenders:

I

1 Old electronics

Chances are you have no use for that old clunky computer printer and fax machine from the early ’90s. “If it’s in the garage, there’s a 90% chance that your old CPU is not worth the time it would take you to bring it back up to speed for day-to-day use,” says organizing and storing expert Emma Gordon of Clutter.com. “It’s better to find a recycling program that can take it off your hands.”

2 Broken/duplicate tools

You probably don’t need five hammers, and that broken drill is just collecting dust on a shelf. Take stock of your tool collection, and consolidate so you don’t have an overflowing toolbox (or too many bulky bins filled with tools).

22

“Toss out balls if they don’t hold air anymore,” says Gordon. Same goes for broken tennis rackets, skis, helmets and more. If one of your kids no longer plays a sport, donate the used gear to a thrift store that accepts sports equipment.

If your garage has become nothing more than a glorified storage closet, it might be time to declutter.

8 Old shoes and clothes

THE IMAGE BANK RF

3 Old newspapers, magazines and catalogs

“You’re not going to read these again,” says Gordon. “If they’ve been banished from the house to the garage, they need to go.” If you can’t part with all of them, allow yourself to keep a few special editions or issues. Donate or recycle the rest.

4 Old paint cans

Face it: You’re not going to use that hideous color of paint anywhere in your house. If you think you might need to touch up any of the rooms in your house, figure out which can of paint goes with which room, and label it with the room (dining room) and color (linen white). Remember that you can’t throw away full (or partially full) paint cans, so you’ll either need to find a hazardous-waste collection site or pour clean kitty litter in the can to dry up any remaining paint before disposing of the kitty litter and paint, and recycling the can.

5 Unused DIY project materials While you’re clearing cans from old home-improvement projects, toss out old materials from DIY projects. “Almost every garage in America has a flimsy aluminum paint tray coated in house paint, with a matching roller in a crumpled grocery bag,” Gordon says. “As homeowners, we like to think we’re going to get more than one use out of our paint brushes, trays and other DIY tools, but it’s more likely we’ll forget and buy these items again anyway. The only reason to save otherwise disposable DIY tools would be if you have a project in mind that you plan to tackle soon.”

STLtoday.com/homes

“I promise you won’t miss the clothes and shoes you’re storing in the garage,” says Gordon. “These are the items that you don’t even have in your weekly outfit rotation, and if they haven’t been kept in an airtight container, they will require a lot of laundering to nix the garage fumes and dust.”

9 Outdated tech

Sadly, your beloved tape collection is now obsolete. “Remember the static or flipping over to the ‘B-side’? Compared to streaming services, these outdated forms of entertainment require a lot of fussing,” says Gordon. “Make a quick list of the albums and movies you consider staples for your household, and plan to purchase in digital format.”

10 Unused decor Bring that old chair you’ve been meaning to reupholster for years, or those old and outdated holiday decorations, to the thrift store or a donation center. If you can’t imagine placing them back inside your house anytime soon, you should say goodbye to those pieces.
