Creating Your Perfect Space

S

THE STYLE SPECIALIST

pending time at home and tired of your home?

If the answer is “yes,” you’re not alone. I’m getting a lot of calls from people who, after months at home, want their spaces updated. With a sigh and some frustration in their voices, I usually hear, “I’m tired of my living room but don’t know how to change it.” Here is some advice on how to begin:

by Christine S. Cowles

1. Determine what you’re not: It is sometimes easier to

define what you don’t like, so start there. By eliminating certain styles and colors, you can home in on what you do like.

2. Find inspiration: If you’re not sure whether you prefer

eclectic, industrial, farmhouse, or organic modern design, then look at your clothing. Are you always in comfortable, loose linen and tend toward neutrals? Or perhaps you prefer bright colors and bold patterns? Another way to approach this is to think of how you want your space to feel. Glamorous and elegant? Neutral and organic? Playful and fun? Next, spend time looking for photos of your ideal space (you can blame me for hours spent on Pinterest!). Cut out photos from your favorite magazine or catalog and determine what these spaces have in common. These elements can provide guidance on creating your refreshed look. 3. Get ready to break up: I often work with clients who

want a refreshed living room but don’t want to replace

their sofa because it’s not that old. Or they want to decorate using their existing bedroom set because, well, it was from their childhood home. It’s normal to have attachments to certain pieces, and I’m not advocating that everything must be replaced, but sometimes these are the pieces that are preventing you from updating your space. Time to break up by donating or selling said item and let someone else love it. 4. Make a plan: Which existing items match your

updated style? Which items need to be replaced? What colors do you want in your space? Is it time to paint the walls? Most people get excited and rush out to buy a new rug or entry table but don’t first think about the space as a whole. Creating a cohesive look takes time, so imagine how everything will look together before making purchases.

5. Balance and scale: Why do furniture catalogs always look so good? Proper use of proportion and scale. If your fireplace isn’t centered on the wall, balance it out with a piece of art or a tall plant next to it. Also, many times people use furniture that is too large for the room. Reread number three about breaking up. 6. Layer and texture: This is my favorite part of the process

— and the easiest to change over time. Even if you want a living room that is all white, you can create interest by adding pillows, blankets, and artwork with texture. Think kilim and mudcloth pillows, a chunky cable-knit throw, and layering rugs. Most of us want a refreshed space to magically happen overnight, but keep in mind that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Just keep the end in sight to create a space that works for you and your family.

he National Association of Realtors® has announced its five 2020 Good Neighbor Awards winners. For 21 consecutive years, NAR has honored Realtors® who make an extraordinary impact on the world through volunteering. The efforts of this year’s Good Neighbor Awards recipients are even more outstanding given the challenges that COVID-19 brought to their respective humanitarian efforts, including canceled fundraisers, obstacles to in-person volunteering and increased need. “Our Good Neighbor Awards winners leave a remarkable impact on their communities every year, but everything these Realtors® have done in 2020 is even more impressive and more commendable,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co., Inc., in San Francisco, Calif. “This year has brought unprecedented challenges, but the 2020 Good Neighbor Awards winners have been a force for good during the most difficult and unique times, and they continue to inspire all of us by showing how one person can make a difference in the world.” Each of the five winners – selected by a multi-stage, criteria-based judging process – will receive a $10,000 grant for their charity. The 2020 Good Neighbor Winners: Linda K.

et-zero-energy buildings, those that produce the energy they need from renewable sources, are increasingly the default choice. This strategy, however, will not get us to carbon neutrality fast enough. Buildings still account for around 40 percent of all CO2 emissions. We need to think bigger by focusing on design-

Although district heating systems have long been in use in Europe and on many U.S. campuses, the Whistler Olympic Village in British Columbia employed the first integrated energy system for both heating and cooling. Another district project, the multi-use Whisper Valley Community development in Austin, Texas, is constructing 7,500 allelectric homes. Surprisingly, the integrated design featuring an underground loop, heat pumps, energy-efficient appliances, induction cooktops, and an optional five-kilowatt solar photovoltaic array, has homes selling for the price of $50,000. There is discussion about adding many new housing units in Santa Barbara’s downtown corridor, which would open an opportunity for district systems. It is harder to achieve net zero energy in existing neighborhoods, especially considering costeffectiveness, but a mix of new and existing buildings, as we may be seeing downtown, offers possibilities. Retrofitting older structures economically; making every building, new or old, all-electric; creating a buried loop; and providing the electricity from photovoltaics would approach a zeroenergy community.

site-grown food, and shared electric vehicles to drastically cut emissions. In addition, significant grade changes and 150 years of serving as a dumping spot for coal ash and old cars created headscratching challenges. These and other challenges were solved to create (1) highperformance homes with low to no utility bills; (2) by Dennis Allen superior durability and low maintenance; (3) quiet interiors with no noise transfer between units; (4) water resilience; and (5) replicability. Much of the community’s food is site-grown, and the rest is supplied through a partnership with a local farm. One of the opportunities in focusing on communities or neighborhoods is tackling energy with a district system approach. Heating and cooling are the biggest uses of energy in buildings. District systems can address these loads more efficiently while providing economies of scale. Zero carbon emissions can be achieved by burying, at ing or redeveloping entire communities to least five feet deep, a network of uninsulated pipes where the soil temperature is be zero energy. Communities are being developed nearly equal to the average air temperathat offset three of the largest contribu- ture.
