Holiday Hacks

The holidays should be a happy time, but between family get-togethers, grocery shopping and decorating, it’s sometimes hard to find enough time to get everything done. Fortunately, you can use the wifi-enabled iHome Smart Plugs available at the Home Depot Canada to make the holiday season a little easier.

Pre-holiday prep When getting your home ready for the holidays, decorating the exterior can be a chilly experience. Skip the cold by plugging your lights or inflatables into a smart outlet and turn them on with the touch of a button. You can even use the plugs to turn on the slow cooker while you’re

Want your Christmas morning go off without a hitch? Connect and control appliances connected to your smart plug from any location to ensure the perfect start to your day. You can schedule your smart plugs to turn on the festive music early, have the coffee maker brewing and get the lights twinkling.

After Christmas Smart plugs aren’t just helpful on the holidays.

Use them on a daily basis this winter to turn on lights during those short winter days or turn on the humidifier to prevent dryness. Create a “scene” in a full room by linking all your smart plugs together or while travelling use the “away” mode, which will set an entire room to your preference. THN www.newscanada.com

Selecting the

TUB & VANITY for your bathroom Behind every great bathroom, is an even greater bathtub. The tub is the showpiece of the room, and for good reason. The room is named after this fabulous fixture, after all. As a designer, I am asked to assist design many bathrooms and I know the bathtub can make or break a bathroom design, so I encourage clients to give it the consideration it deserves - not to mention a little extra budget, if possible.

Victoria + Albert Pembroke Freestanding Bathtub

12

When shopping for a new bathtub, style and comfort are equally important. In other words, great bathrooms can't compromise on either. Some sleek, sculptural soaker tubs border on art, and come in a seemingly endless array of shapes, sizes, finishes and materials.

Once you identify a look that you love, be sure to sit back (literally!) and give some thought to the tub's shape and size, and how these suit your shape and size. Sit inside it, and get a good feel for the tub's curves, height and interior angles. For this reason, I recommend buying a new bathtub in person, versus online.

Victoria + Albert’s new Pembroke Collection includes a freestanding bathtub (pictured below) featuring crisp lines, graceful curves, and a silhouette that tapers toward the base to occupy less floor space than its straight-sided counterparts. But don't be fooled, this tub is deep and dual-ended, allowing for ample space and soothing soaks for one - or two! The Pembroke is available in your choice of exterior trending finishes, including Gloss Black, Matte Black, Matte White, Stone Gray, Light Gray and Anthracite.

Victoria + Albert Metallo 61 Quartz Washstand

Trending now is open shelved units one example of this seen is Victoria + Albert's latest Metallo quartz washstand distinguished by its unusual metal legs, featuring right-angle “tee joints” inspired by retro bathroom plumbing. The Metallo 61 Quartz design the most compact model offered, measures just 24 inches wide, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms and powder rooms.

Of course, function also plays an important role when selecting the right bathroom vanity. Is this an ensuite for two, a private bathroom or a powder room? Will you be using this area for grooming or to apply makeup? Some other things to take into account include: door swing, traffic flow, plumbing, and location of other fixtures, like the toilet and tub. These will affect the vanity styles and specs best suited to you.

Victoria + Albert Pembroke Freestanding Bathtub

Like the bathtub, your vanity should be a showpiece. This is particularly true for small bathrooms and powder rooms, where there is little room to make a big splash.

Look for vanities boasting distinctive features, be it a unique washbasin, a splashy faucet or a striking base, to give your bathroom a fashionable yet functional edge.

When browsing bathtubs and vanities, shop with both in mind.

Remember that the most impactful statements are made by unified styles. You don't necessarily have to select matching fixtures, or even pieces from the same brand. The key is to ensure your selections have a common aesthetic, be it traditional, modern, colour or otherwise. The result will be a harmonious bathroom, where all the main elements sing the same tune.
