HOME RENO

IN THE CARDS FOR 2022?

OUR TOP 5 TIPS WILL HELP

BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER

Home renovations have always been a great way to improve your home's return on investment (ROI) but knowing where to invest your money these days can be a challenge.

Here are the top trends for 2022.

87880.24.1_014 + 15 Editorial Home Reno.indd 1

2022-01-26 4:47 PM

15 MINOR KITCHEN REMODEL

BUILD THAT DECK

Minor kitchen enhancements can give you more value than a significant renovation if you focus on the right areas. Upgrading appliances, adding new hardware, and repainting cabinets or replacing countertops may be all you need to bring your space to life. The era of plain white or wood cabinets has passed. Adding colour is this year's big style change. Following the lead of European kitchens, we are seeing gorgeous greens, creams, taupe and even pinkish brown. Create a DIY weekend project or hire a local painter.

While the pandemic days are still not quite behind us, many continue to find solace in outdoor living spaces. Although now isn't the season for building decks, planning and booking that contractor ensures you can get the work done in the spring or summer. There are many types of wood to choose from, with some in higher demand than others. Do your homework to determine if wood is still a better option financially than a composite deck. Traditionally, composite has required a considerable investment because the materials tend to last longer, and there's no upkeep.

Wood requires a routine investment in staining and resealing, and not all grains are resistant to insects. Cedar and redwood are often your best bet; however, prices and demand for these types have increased significantly in the past two years.

LARGER BATHROOMS With more family members living under one roof, bathroom space is often in high demand. Consider adding a double sink, walk-in shower and more storage. Homeowners are also adding luxuries to the bathroom to create a spa-like atmosphere with heated floors, touchless faucets, and backlit mirrors. Neutral shades of white, beige and grey are still popular as they don't date and allow you to change accent colours with the seasons for a fresh, new look every few months.

EFFICIENCY UPGRADES There's never been a better time to consider how renovations may impact climate change. Most new appliances are now energy-efficient, and many products incorporate recycled or reused materials. Upgrading windows? Be sure to choose a company with an ENERGY STAR product to help reduce heating and cooling bills and qualify for a Government of Ontario rebate (www.nrcan. gc.ca/energy-efficiency). Switching from wood to vinyl frames means no warping or rotting and no upkeep. Be sure to order from a reputable company with a lifetime or 25-year warranty and check customer ratings online. Solar-powered lights make a great addition to outdoor living space, refurbished old furniture pieces look great indoors and out, and eco-flush toilets are a smart upgrade to bathrooms.

87880.24.1_014 + 15 Editorial Home Reno.indd 2

UPGRADE YOUR ENTRANCE One of the best investments you can make in your home is to upgrade the entry door and garage and create a stunning curb appeal. Entry doors now come pre-hung and are a great DIY project or hire a professional. A steel door is a better option than wood as it is durable and does not warp or crack with the changing seasons. Replacing the garage door is also a great way to update your look and it can quickly be done in a day. The ROI for both doors cover the cost of the product and installation and is never a waste of money, especially if you are looking to sell in the near future. You can reuse your current motorized opener and wiring and replace the door itself to save money.

Whatever your project this year, take the time to plan it out, set a budget and book those contractors early.

MEET THE

REALTOR How long have you been working in real estate?

Prior to getting into real estate, I owned my own fitness and personal training business. My mother was a successful business owner, and I must have inherited her entrepreneurial spirit.

Well I don’t know where the time went, but I have been a licensed RealtorTM for over 27 years! I Is there a particular guess the old adage area you specialize “time flies when you’re in, either in terms of having fun” applies. neighbourhoods, or After 5 years I became types of homes or a Broker which was perhaps the type of always my goal, I was clients you like to in this business for the work with? long term! Also I took B R O K E R Moving from Quebec courses to receive my when I was very young, Property Management I have lived in Burlington designation. I felt all and primarily Hamilton for most of my life. these areas of knowledge would benefit me, I specialize in residential real estate and and then of course my clients. feel very comfortable and knowledgeable What is it that makes you so passionate about selling houses and condos in about what you do?

Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Burlington and nearby communities. I live in the Kirkendall Every day is different, every client, situation and every property is different and all this makes area of Hamilton and especially enjoy working here too. my job (for the most part) very interesting.

COLETTE COOPER

Since I started working at 16 years of age, I have always been in the “Service industry”.

I love talking with people, and establishing relationships and trust. Then to share their enthusiasm in finding the house of their dreams, or selling their house with as little stress as possible, gives me the energy and enthusiasm to do it again.

What attracted you to this business?

The real estate business always seemed to me as a very exciting and prestigious business.

In such a competitive market with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?

I am a very dedicated, honest and knowledgeable realtor and I believe people sense that in me. My CC SELLS Marketing Plan has really impressed my seller clients.

I do a number of things which are unique to the business and feel that has given me an edge. It is all part of my way of offering superior “service”.

EASY SWAPS TO GIVE YOUR HOUSE AN

INSTANT UPGRADE

87621.31.2.000 + 0 Editorial Home Reno.indd 1

2022-01-27 10:42:01 AM

S

ometimes the simplest decorating swaps can yield the biggest returns. These one-hit-wonder changes will invigorate your spaces with minimal effort on your part.

But be forewarned: One swap may make you want to do another ... and another. But that’s what makes decorating fun, right?

Swap standard-issue pillows for something with personality.

Ditch the pillows that came with your sofa and layer in a contrasting colour or pattern. But don’t toss the old pillows into the donation bin just yet. Oftentimes these pillows have reusable forms and will fit inside new covers. Or if y ou’re handy with a sewing machine, stitch new covers to size and you’ll save the expense of new pillow forms.

Swap a cluttered, utilitarian nightstand for something prettier.

Bring some luxury to your life by simply giving your nightstand a little love. Clear out the unnecessary clutter (we mean that pile of receipts and five random pens) and add a few pretty accessories that make your bedroom feel more like a retreat and less like a dumping ground. Designate a drawer for the basics, such as chargers.

Swap a plain lampshade for a patterned cousin.

Most lampshades are plain white, which can stick out like a sore thumb in a room where colour or muted neutrals reign. Do your whole room a favour and replace these offending f ffending lampshades with something that blends in better. r r.

Swap a coffee table for an ottoman.

This swap is particularly effective if y our coffee table is part of a matched set with your end tables. An upholstered ottoman softens a furniture arrangement and provides another opportunity to add pattern and colour. r Add a large tray to the top as a stable spot ffor r. drinks and accessories.

Swap silver for gold.

The gold trend is here to stay, y so what are you waiting for? Start y, small and work in a few gold accessories to a specific spot. If y ou want to start riding the next trend, go with copper or rose gold.

Swap solid curtains for patterned counterparts.

Ditch plain window treatments fo f r something a little livelier. r r.

Keep the new curtains within the same colour family as your old ones, and use the existing patterns in your room to determine the scale of the new window treatments. For F example, le, if you have small- and large-scale patterns in your room, opt fo f r curtains in a medium-scale pattern.

Swap bulky furniture for airy pieces.

Heavyy,, solid-frame accent furniture (such as end tables and Heavy ottomans) can weigh down a space. Replacing this dead weight with less-bulky pieces will make a space feel lighter and more refined.

Swap basic hardware for a custom combination.

Who says all hardware needs to be the same? Forge F your own path with a mixed-and-matched set of knobs, pulls and bars. ©2022 Meredith Corporation. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
