This ongoing interest in warm neutrals with earthy undertones and pink and blush shades is likely to be increasingly popular in 2023 as homeowners become more adventurous with their color choices as a form of creative expression.

Trending Colors

Selecting the right colors for your home project is often influenced by both your personal preferences and the latest design trends. Some contemporary options to consider include:

Earth Tones: Warmer, natural-looking earth tones are versatile, working seamlessly with just about any design or architectural style of home. Some trending hues include muted terracotta, green, yellow and plum.

Warm Neutrals: Although they’re not typically used as statement colors, warm neutrals bring a sense of comfort while also offering an inviting, blank canvas to let individuality flow freely. On-trend options include shades of dark brown, caramel, tan or off-white.

Rich, Dark Colors: These deep, saturated hues can make a house stand out and look more modern while still offering a nod to warmer hues. Chocolate brown, brick red or dark jade are popular choices for those who prefer rich hues.

Pink and Blush Shades: Various shades of pink, rose and blush will be increasingly popular choices for homeowners exuding a greater sense of self-expression. In home design, look for these colors to appear in coral, pink, red-orange, raspberry or blush tones.

Sweet Pastels: There are signs homeowners are ready to bring colors back into their homes. Expect to see sweet pastel shades like soft pink, mint green and light purple in furniture, decor and accessories.

Home Design

Materials with Texture

With warm neutrals and earth tones dominating the color palette, both interior and exterior design will depend heavily on texture to add definition. More design choices will move away from faux finishes and instead focus on natural and authentic looks, many of which can be achieved through brick and stone.

Brick and stone give designers options for adding depth and dimension, integrating a play on light and shadows with a variety of textural elements.

Brick carries a sense of tradition, character and timelessness while also serving as a popular choice for homeowners due to its design flexibility. Qualities such as low-maintenance, resilience, durability, sustainability and beauty make brick an option that allows homeowners to balance function with appearance.

Homeowners can find more than 600 brick and stone products with Glen-Gery’s extensive product line that offers endless design possibilities and timeless beauty. From handmade to glazed bricks and everything in between, these building products come in a diverse array of colors, textures and sizes, making it easy to personalize living spaces with the latest design and color trends.

Try a virtual design tool like Picture Perfect, which can help you visualize projects, or find other style inspiration at glengery.com.

Bring Color with Brick

Brick is often selected for its functional benefits, but it’s also an appealing building product due to its versatile color, texture and size combinations. Color can evoke a certain mood and assist in achieving a desired outcome. Often, architects and designers even incorporate multiple colors or create custom looks by using multiple brick colors and styles.

To help homeowners hone in on the perfect look to match their vision for contemporary design and align with anticipated 2023 color trends, Glen-Gery will introduce its inaugural Brick Color of the Year, a program that showcases trending hues that lend well to trending aesthetics.

Reflecting contemporary earthy, nature-inspired color trends, the Pitt Cafe Series consists of four soft, neutral-toned, versatile bricks, ranging from creamy white to earthtone and brown-gray with highly pronounced textural features. What’s more, the series can be used for both interior and exterior applications for modern or contemporary designs.

Ways to Make Your Home Smell Fresh & Clean

Consider these sensible ideas to improve the scents throughout your home:

Bring the Outside In

Fresh air is a terrific option for banishing bad smells. Throwing open windows creates a cross breeze that can chase stale, musty air away in a hurry. You can also improve your air quality by adding house plants, which naturally help purify the air by absorbing pollutants and exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen. Plants like jasmine, eucalyptus and gardenias also offer their own pleasant scents.

Refresh Soft Surfaces

Textiles and other soft surfaces throughout your home easily trap odor-causing bacteria, dust and other particles that can contribute to unsavory smells. That’s why it’s a good idea to regularly give the rugs, carpet, bedding, throw pillows, curtains and other soft surfaces throughout your home a deep cleaning. If you can’t machine wash an item, use a vacuum with a hose attachment to remove as many hidden particles as possible.

Install a Heated Towel Rack

Damp spaces like bathrooms are breeding grounds for bacteria. If you notice a musty smell in the bathroom but can’t pinpoint the source, it may be your towel. That’s especially true if, like many

people, you reuse a towel several times before washing it. Hangdrying your towel may not be enough to chase away smell-inducing bacteria. However, the growth of bacteria is reduced on heat-dried towels by as much as 99%, according to a study commissioned by Amba Products. What’s more, in the study, a heat-dried towel produced a fresh smell over a seven-day period, whereas an unheated sample produced a musty odor by the fourth day.

With a variety of styles and finishes to fit almost any decor, the line of heated towel racks produces radiant heat to gently warm and dry towels. That can help eliminate moisture, resulting in less growth of mold and mildew. They also offer time, water and energy savings, plus some models come ready to use and take as little as 5 minutes to set up.

Simmer Fresh Aromas

If you need to add a pleasant scent in a hurry, such as just before hosting a special event for guests, consider simmering something that smells delicious on the stove. Simmering a blend of orange slices, cloves and cinnamon in a pot of water over low heat produces a subtle, pleasing scent that doesn’t overpower the room. Diffusers, candles and room sprays can also help add appealing smells in rooms that may need some extra attention.

Clean Common Culprits

Every household has some common culprits and, if you’re noticing smells, you may need to step up your game to keep these areas clean. Trash cans, litter boxes and pet beds all need regular attention that goes beyond the basics. Make a point of not only emptying the trash but also cleaning the trash can itself. Don’t just scoop the litter box. Replace the entire pan at least weekly. Strip and wash the exterior covering of pet beds and air out the cushion.

Keeping your home clean and smelling great does not have to be complicated. Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule and incorporating ways to purify and enhance the air can make the space more enjoyable. To get your home refresh started, visit ambaproducts.com

Aclean and inviting home doesn’t just look tidy, it smells pleasantly refreshing, too. However, running a household can be a stinky business and it may take some special effort to make your living spaces feel more welcoming.

Family Features

o you prefer walking and biking to sitting in traffi c? Love the hustle and bustle of the city but abhor long commutes? Enjoy taking a spontaneous stroll to a nearby restaurant for dinner and music. If this sounds like you, we suggest you forget life in the ‘burbs and go urban.

A growing resurgence in downtown Nashville has brought a wealth of living options to the city’s urban landscape, along with a vibrant community of restaurants, shops and clubs.

For urban dwellers, The Gulch in downtown Nashville is the place to be. Properties like Velocity, Terrazzo and Encore offer the ultimate digs for downtown living. And with the tremendous growth this former railroad yard has seen, you can always find something to do here. Of course there’s always music. (It is Music City, after all.) Travel + Leisure

recently cited Nashville as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. From Tootsie’s to Mercy Lounge to The Station Inn, downtown music venues offer everything from rock and country to bluegrass and rockabilly.

If you’re looking to set up shop, office space downtown is plentiful and growing. Speaking of the office: Did you know that Forbes.com ranks Nashville 10th in the country of “Best Places for Business and Careers”? And sixth among “Best Cities for Jobs”? Plus Business Insider recently took note of Nashville as one of the “13 Hottest American Cities for 2016.” The nod cited Music City as the “new center of the auto and health-care industries,” noting 300- plus health-care companies and more than 30,000 auto industry jobs.

The growth, action and entertainment extend to numerous dining and entertainment options down on Lower Broadway and out on West End. Not to mention the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village… the list goes on.

Davidson

These are just a few of the reasons to consider living in the heart of Music City. One more reason: We’re just so darn nice. But don’t take our word for it. Travel + Leisure’s 2015 survey ranked Nashville #1 on its list of America’s Friendliest Cities.

New Tax Credits Increase Appeal of Heat Pumps for Homeowners

More and more people are turning to heat pumps to heat and cool their homes. It is estimated that 18 million American households already use them. With new energy incentives being offered, and more homeowners choosing greener technologies, that number is expected to rise dramatically.

What is a heat pump? Heat pumps are powered by electricity and transfer heat using refrigerant. Heat pump technology moves heat outside your home in warmer months and is able to pull heat into your home during cooler months. Here are three reasons to consider one for your home:

1. Sustainability. Heat pumps are electric and don’t burn fossil fuels like furnaces do, making them more environmentally friendly. In fact, heat pumps are becoming the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry go-to for reducing consumers’ carbon footprints.

2. Control. Newer two-stage and variable speed heat pumps offer high- and low-stage heating to warm your space when outdoor weather changes; they operate more efficiently for longer periods of time at lower speeds and use less energy. They provide more precise temperature controls and more consistent comfort. Both options contribute to managing humidity levels too.

3. Technology. Heat pumps today are more advanced than ever and handle both heating and cooling by redistributing air. Carrier’s Infinity 24 Heat Pump with Greenspeed Intelligence operates at temperatures down to -15 degrees Fahrenheit, making heat pumps an advanced solution for mild and colder climates. Does your region get colder than that? Heat pumps can be combined with a gas furnace for a dual fuel system that is energy efficient and cost effective. Looking ahead, heat pumps that work in colder temperature are in development and will be available soon.

Get the Right Size

There are several factors that go into picking your ideal heat pump. The size of your home, climate, sun exposure, desired features and ductwork all play into the size of heat pump. An undersized unit will work overtime to hit target temperatures. A unit that is too large will achieve the desired temperature before its cycle is complete and waste energy. It is best to work with a professional dealer in choosing the heat pump that is best for your home.

Money-Saving Tips

Heat pumps, including installation, can range anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 or more. Thankfully, there are many cost-saving options for homeowners.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes federal tax credits that reward homeowners for purchasing certain high-efficiency HVAC equipment, including many of Carrier’s line of heat pumps. Up to $8,000 in tax credits are available for all-electric heat pumps.

Lower energy consumption means energy bill savings, up to $500 on energy bills every year in some cases. Look for Energy Star certification and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. The SEER rating is like your car’s mileage per gallon – the higher the number, the greater the potential for savings.

Many manufacturers and utility companies also offer rebates and low-rate financing. For example, Carrier’s heat pump rebate offerings are listed on their website. At the time of this publication, up to $1,300 in rebates are being offered for most units.

Beyond the basics, today’s heat pumps offer new comfortenhancing, energy-saving features that could help you reduce your heating costs.

ashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are tak ing note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red Hot” for a burgeoning music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nashville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Music City is also a thriving hub for industry; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, Louisiana-Pacific and Dollar General all have corporate offi ces here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.

How can I find the best mortgage loan?

Dear Monty

1. Interest rates change daily – Lenders calculate interest rates on indexes such as the Prime Lending Rate or LIBOR. These rates move up and down daily.

2. Annual Percentage Rate (APR) calculations are not accurate – The formula for calculations assumes the entire term of the amortization. If amortization is thirty years and you relocate in three years, the actual APR is more significant than stated by the lender.

3. The type of loans must be the same when making comparisons – Compare two fi xed-rate mortgages, not a fi xed rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM).

4. The APR calculation includes Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) – When there is less than a twenty percent down payment on the home.

5. No lender has the best rate and terms at all times – Lenders source of funds are continually circulating, and pricing changes often. Lenders commit to a funding source to invest a specific volume at a particular rate. Once they place those funds, prices change. Check out rate-match guarantees.

6. There are different types of mortgage lenders – Commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, mortgage brokers, online lenders, and more. All must follow the HUD rules, but they all operate differently. They may or may not honor any fiduciary relationship with you.

7. Fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, balloon mortgages, and government-assisted VA and FHA loans are typical. Specialty products for rural loans, certain local neighborhoods, and more exist.

8. The interest rate and monthly payments are not the whole story. Various closing costs can impact your out-of-pocket fees or monthly payment signifi cantly. Always ask for dollar amounts and not percentages when gathering all the expenses.

9. Other costs incurred may be added to a mortgage. If the debt to income ratio is good, many lenders will add closing costs to the mortgage loan.

10. Credit score issues impact quoted interest rates. A spotty payment history, excessive income to debt ratios, and other factors may mean a higher interest rate.

The preceding background material sets the stage for you to start shopping with a good overview of considerations in the process of identifying potential lenders and comparing their pricing and products.

Gathering the information to compare

Have a checklist to follow to ensure you have asked the right questions. Most loan originators appreciate a consumer asking these questions. Your questions are an indication you will be a good customer, so do not be shy. Ask away.

Now, negotiate from strength

Taking the time to understand and assemble this information provides you considerable negotiating power. Many lenders will negotiate. Now use this information to put those skills to work and save money.

Ianswered this question several years ago, but it bears repeating. Comparing the cost of mortgage loans is a challenge for most mortgage shoppers. Do this before you look for your home. The most helpful lender may also have the best pre-ap-proval letter. Here are ten facts to help you find the right mortgage loan:

hether you’re strolling downtown Franklin, dining in Cool Springs, shopping at The Factory or looking for antiques in Leiper’s Fork, you’ll find that Williamson County supports diverse lifestyles and offers a wealth of housing options.

From Franklin’s Westhaven community, which features a walkable design with retail establishments located in the neighborhood, to the rural setting of Winterset Woods in Nolensville, you’ll find plenty of new homes to choose from. And whether you choose a larger city like Franklin (the county seat) or one of the smaller communities like Arrington or Fairview, you’ll find housing and amenities in a variety of styles and price ranges.

It’s hard to decide whether Franklin is a big city with a small-town feel or a small town with big-city advantages. CoolSprings Galleria and its surrounding business district serve

Brentwood | Franklin | Fairview | Nolensville | Thompson’s Station

a variety of consumer needs — from dining to furniture, housewares to clothing and more. The Crossings in nearby Spring Hill features tenants like Target, Kirkland’s, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

If you prefer the rural life, head to the pastoral paradise of Thompson’s Station, located just minutes from downtown Franklin and not that far from downtown Nashville. In nearby Nolensville, you can stop in at the new Nolensville Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers, homemade foods and more.

Williamson County is home to businesses large and small, from home-owned enterprises like Yarrow Acres and McCreary’s Irish Pub to national headquarters for companies like Nissan, Tractor Supply and Mars Petcare. Small wonder, then, that Bloomberg ranked the Nashville area (including Franklin and Murfreesboro) as number eight on its list of Top 10 American Boomtowns (based on population growth and growth in gross domestic product). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year Williamson was the #1 county on the list of Fastest Growing Job Markets in the U.S., and Backgroundcheck.org ranked the cities of Brentwood (#1) Franklin (#3) and Spring Hill (#5) among the Safest Cities in Tennessee. With small-town charm, major employers and a healthy economic climate, if you’re looking for good country living in a growing and thriving community, Williamson County could be just the place.

The h ttest trend in fireplaces?

Using them to warm up a kitchen or bathroom

In the past few years homes have become vital sanctuaries - places where you and your family want to feel comfortable, cozy and serene. Recent shifts in home design are responding to this need, while also reflecting a desire for beauty and luxury. As a result, fireplaces are seriously trending - not just for living rooms or bedrooms, but even kitchens and bathrooms.

Thanks to recent innovations such as beautifully designed, easyto-install electric fireplaces from SimpliFire, you can add the warmth and charm a fireplace brings to almost any room without undergoing major renovations or having to worry about things like chimneys, piles of wood, screens or gas lines.

The sleek, contemporary features seen in these electric fireplaces add a warm glow and ambient light to any room. You can select features like driftwood log sets and a variety of finishes, plus whatever flame color options and fire bed materials and colors suit your mood and style.

Time-honored luxury with a modern aesthetic

While adding fireplaces to various rooms may be an emerging trend in contemporary home design - and a boon for home valuesthe idea has a long history, as homes once relied solely on fireplaces for heating every room. Today’s designs, however, offer the drama and visual interest of clean lines and modern style - while also being much more convenient and energy-efficient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Another great advantage? You can run your electric fireplace anytime you’d like to enjoy the beauty and ambience it provides, with or without heat, all year round.

The heart of the home

The kitchen is possibly the most crucial room in every home. Because kitchens needed fireplaces for cooking functions in olden days, it seems like a natural fit to add a fireplace here. Today’s kitchens are the heart of the home in more ways than one, especially with open plan home designs allowing plenty of space for the entire family - and guests - to gather around and cook meals together.

What better space to create a warm, cozy and decorative focal point with an electric fireplace? You could even use a 3-sided style such as SimpliFire’s Scion Trinity Fireplace by Heat & Glo to connect a kitchen to dining or living areas, or use two units back-to-back to create a two-sided fireplace between any two rooms.

A personal spa

The bathroom has become a sought-after oasis in contemporary homes, inspiring spa-like features from heated floors or towel racks

to deluxe standalone tubs that create an aura of comfort and luxury. Adding a bathroom fireplace is one more way to design the ultimate personal retreat. What could be more calming than relaxing in a hot bath by the light of a glowing fireplace?

Fortunately, today’s electric fireplaces make this renovation easier than ever. While a few special safety precautions need to be taken for bathroom applications, following your product instructions and local code restrictions will ensure that your fireplace will be as safe as it is enchanting.

How electric fireplaces work

Electric fireplaces can supply light as well as being able to offer some heat, but the glow and warmth are created without an actual flame. With the press of a button, you can use a remote control to adjust both the “flame” and other effects, including the heat level, thermostat, timer, brightness, ember bed lights and accent lighting. Turn up the heat to take the chill off during wintry days, or turn the heat down and enjoy the fireplace just for its calming ambiance when the weather’s warm.

Installation is easy

Whether you choose to hire a professional or completely DIY it, electrical fireplace installation is remarkably easy. With just a few tools, a well-placed grounded electrical outlet and a revolutionary wall-mount SimpliFire Format electric fireplace, you can bring the comfort of a fireplace to any room in your home in a day.

f you’re looking to settle in an area where you can enjoy small-town values with big-city benefits nearby, Wilson County is a wise choice. Whether you choose the county seat of Lebanon with its quaint city square, Mt. Juliet with its easy access to Nashville or Watertown and its rural charm, Wilson County offers a place where education is valued and the county fair is the event of the year. Business is booming here, which is a testament to the friendly business climate. No doubt that business-friendly attitude played a part in the growth of the Providence community in Mt. Juliet, which is adding Providence Central, a mixed-use community of housing, retail and office space.

Wilson County has also been making strides in expanding and upgrading the county’s schools. The county commission approved a $63-million school building plan that paid for a new high school in Watertown (which opened in 2014) and brought expansions at West

Wilson

Green Hill | Lebanon | Mount Juliet | Rural Hill | Watertown

Wilson Middle School and West and Rutland elementary schools. In recent years the county has added Winfree Bryant Middle School in Lebanon (2011), Lebanon High School (2012) and a high school in Mt. Juliet (2008).

Other signs of growth include the Highway 109 bridge joining Wilson and Sumner counties. Completed in 2014, the $29.5 million four-lane structure, replaced an old two-lane bridge from the 1950s. Leaders in both counties say the bridge will provide an economic boost for their communities.

Rail transportation is set to expand in Lebanon with a new stop on the Music City Star line. The award of a $1.6-million grant will help fund the proposed rail station at Hamilton Springs, making it Middle Tennessee’s first mixed-use development designed around a train station. The Lebanon Planning Commission approved the site plan for the train stop last year. Hamilton Springs will be the seventh station on the Music City Star line.

But it’s not all growth and business in Wilson County. People here also know how to have fun. Take their pride in producing a top-notch county fair. According to Carnival Warehouse, based on attendance and other attributes, the Wilson County Fair ranks among the top 50 fairs in North America. From pride in a county fair to savvy business and civic leaders who promote a healthy business climate, there are many reasons to love and live in Wilson County.

he pace of life may move a bit slower in Robertson County, but that hasn’t slowed the wheels of economic growth in this rural outpost located just north of Nashville.

But don’t let that growth concern you. County leaders here are working on a carefully thoughtout plan for development. The plan’s goal: preserve the county’s agricultural economy and quality of

Tlife while attracting businesses and jobs to designated growth areas, mostly within the county’s existing city centers.

The county’s proposed 2040 Comprehensive Growth Plan calls for school improvements, road improvements and more diverse housing options. Other goals include retaining and creating jobs, adding more higher-paying jobs and attracting a diverse population and workforce.

Johnson Electric and Martinrea Fabco also call this area home. In addition to the growing economic picture in Robertson County, there’s also the way of life that residents are determined to maintain. From local treasures like Burdett’s Tea Shop & Trading Company to the Shade Tree Farm (where you pick your own apples), don’t expect the pace of life here to change anytime soon.

If you’re looking for peaceful country living just a stone’s throw from the city, look at Cheatham County. With wooded hillsides, open farmland, and scenic rivers and lakes, the area offers an attractive setting.

The communities of Kingston Springs, Pegram, Pleasant View and Ashland City offer a neighborly feel despite the county’s rapid expansion. Whether in a suburban or rural setting, residents here have the best of both worlds: a serene environment with easy access to city life and jobs.

Ashland City | Kingston Springs | Pegram

Pegram is a great place to raise a family. The town has its own special treasures. Popular places include Finch’s Country Store and Mud Puddle Pottery Studio (which offers pottery workshops and classes).

The county seat of Ashland City sits on the bank of the Cumberland River. The city’s award-winning parks and recreation program earned the Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award for its conservation efforts involved with the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail. Under the guidance of Renaissance Ashland City, planners are working to carefully preserve the city’s heritage while embracing the benefits of progress.
