Ask a Designer

Options abound in flooring today

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A stunning sofa or a beautiful wall color might catch your eye when you enter someone’s home. But flooring is the key to any room, says interior designer Elina Cardet.

As the visual base for ever y other design choice, “flooring is the most important decision,” says Cardet, interior design director at Perkins and Will’s Miami office. Beauty matters, as does durability and also comfor t: “You’re going to be barefoot on this floor,” she points out.

Recent technological innovations have created a wide variety of flooring options today.

Cardet and two other interior design experts — Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio in Houston and Jacqueline Touzet of Touzet Studio in Miami — offer advice on making this key design decision:

HARDWOOD CHOICES There are many synthetic versions of hardwood floors these days — products that promise to look and feel like solid wood but cost less. Some can look lovely, these designers agree. But they advise moving cautiously.

“There’s not enough history to know if it’s going to hold up,” says Rottet, whereas hardwood of fers durability and longevity. “A beautiful wood floor is classic.”

Cardet suggests that “if it’s possible and your budget allows it, to try to invest in hardwoods that are certified, to make sure it comes from a forest that was well managed.”

Which style of hardwood should you choose? Wide plank floors are popular right now. But Rottet points out that since they have fewer joints than narrower plank floors, there is less opportunity for the floor to expand and contract over time. The occasional crack might happen, depending on your climate, and may need to be patched with wood putty and re-stained. Wide planks

So the traditional, narrower wood planks can be a more practical choice.

NEW TECHNIQUES AND COLORS Cerusing is a technique involving sanding the wood, putting white paint on it, and then sanding it again to create contrast and draw attention to the beauty of the grain. It creates what these designers describe as a “smoky” look.

You can also find wood floors that have been “smoked” through a traditional process from the arts and crafts SEE FLOORING/PAGE 10

mends “through-body” tile, which is made of the same material all the way through. It can be more expensive, but because the color isn’t just on the surface, the look of the floor isn’t ruined if there are chips.

In choosing tile or stone, many customers are increasingly aware of durability. “We have been seeing less of limestones that are super-precious and soft,” Touzet says. “People want an ease of living with their floor, not constantly maintaining it, putting a sealant on it.”

FLOORING FROM PAGE 4

movement that involves adding ammonia to the air when the wood is being processed. Touzet says the result gives the flooring a range of colors.

What shade of stain should you choose?

Light-colored floors can make a room feel larger, but Rottet says some light oak floors can fade to a yellowish color. Gray is also popular for wood floors right now. But “you have to be careful with gray,” she says, “because it can bleach toward green.”

Keep in mind that a floor that gets lots of direct light may change appearance over time.

Dark brown, nearly black shades can also be beautiful, Rottet says. Just be aware that you may need to sweep often. Darker shades, whether in wood or ceramic tile, will also help a space feel warmer, Cardet says.

Overall, Cardet suggests making conservative choices with flooring colors and styles, then getting creative with area rugs that can be replaced if your taste changes.

SECRET SAVINGS Perkins+Will Dubai via AP

This rendering provided by Perkins+Will Dubai shows an apartment’s open kitchen and dining area in Saudi Arabia. Designer Elina Cardet recommends choosing wideplank FSC hardwood flooring, rather than a less durable laminate flooring, and pairing that with a cozy rug, as shown here.

CONSIDERING CONCRETE AND TILE Concrete floors are trendy and can be beautiful. But over time, cracks can form, and there’s little that can be done to prevent them. Some people don’t mind the look, so use concrete only if cracks won’t bother you.

Concrete floors also don’t absorb sound well.

Another option is large porcelain tiles that look similar to concrete or stone.

“We love terrazzo instead of concrete,” Touzet says. “It’s been around for centuries, and you can get the aggregates pretty fine, so it almost looks like a concrete floor.”

Porcelain is generally durable, although it can chip. Cardet recom-

If you don’t have the budget to do an entire room in hardwood but wish you could, Rottet has a creative solution: Put down carpeting throughout the room, but add a wood border that’s several inches thick around the edges of the room. It will appear as though your carpeting is actually a rug sitting on top of hardwood.

Carpeting is less popular these days, Touzet says, because of concerns about dust and air quality. But you can find a low-pile carpet and choose natural materials such as wool to avoid those issues.

And one affordable, retro trend that may be returning: high-end vinyl floors with the look of stone or wood.

Right at Home

What will kitchens of the future look like?

BY KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Today’s home kitchen doesn’t look anything like it did a century ago. But for the most part, it doesn’t look a lot different than 50 years ago.

Appliances are sleeker, materials are better, color palettes are broader.

But the room is still the hard-working heart of the home.

So what might the kitchen of the future be like?

At the upcoming Kitchen and Bath Industr y Show in Las Vegas and the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York, insiders will get a peek at where we’re headed.

First, that open-plan layout. Here to stay?

Not necessarily, says Sam Cochran, features director for Architectural Digest magazine.

“Kitchens will continue to be gathering spaces, with dining nooks and multipurpose work sur faces where you can both roll your dough or type on your laptop,” he says. “But it’s no longer a universal truth that a dream kitchen must be an open kitchen.

We’re seeing more and more people embrace doors and walls as they warm to the idea of the kitchen as a separate sphere, one that you can move in and out of over the course of the day.”

Andrew Shead, marketing manager for the appliance maker Tr ue Residential, doesn’t see open-plan kitchens going away. “But many of our high-end clients are adding a second kitchen to serve as a working kitchen,” he says.

Especially popular with those who enter tain a lot, the backstage workhorse kitchen keeps messy prep out of sight, allowing the front-of-house kitchen to ser ve as more of a showy entertaining and gathering space.

Kitchen designers are incorporating fashion-forward features like glass fronts and LED lights on fridges, chic leather and metal hardware on appliances and cabinetry, and backsplashes with unusual finishes like shagreen, metal, raw wood or artful murals.

Tech is also the talk of the kitchendesign crowd. “The future of kitchen appliances is undeniably digital,” says Jon Hall, product and marketing director for JennAir.

Signature Kitchen Suite via AP

This photo provided by Signature Kitchen Suite shows a kitchen showcasing Signature Kitchen Suite appliances. Signature Kitchen Suite is one of several companies working on tech capabilities for the kitchen, like having appliances communicate with each other to create shopping lists, meal recommendations and cooking instruction. Zach Elkin, general manager of Signature, says they’ve even coined a term for the next gen of forward-thinking cooks: “Technicureans”. “These homeowners are far more techfocused than previous generations. They’ve upped their culinary expectations to include precise prep and flexible cooking experiences, along with their desire for leading-edge design.”

“We’re already charging at a fast clip in that direction,” he says, noting that JennAir has developed over 110 new products with what he refers to as “an enhanced digital backbone.” That means dishwashers that respond to voice commands, and ovens that help craft a menu.

Both LG Signature Kitchen Suite and Miele are working on appliances that could communicate with

each other to create shopping lists, meal recommendations and cooking instruction. Zach Elkin, general manager of Signature, says they’ve coined a term for the next generation of forward-thinking cooks: “technicureans.”

“These homeowners are far more tech-focused than previous generations. They’ve upped their culinar y expectations to include precise prep and flexible cooking experiences,

along with their desire for leadingedge design,” he says.

Cochran acknowledges the inspired advances, but thinks there’s a practical end point.

“I think we’ll only see smart kitchen technology become more sophisticated and easier to use,” he says.

“Already there are products like SEE KITCHENS/PAGE 12

12 ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE

KITCHENS FROM PAGE 11

Brizo’s SmartTouch faucets that turn on and off with just a tap. And companies like Samsung and Liebherr have developed refrigerators that feature integrated cameras that allow you to check your grocer y stock from anywhere. I can imagine the day when your fridge will automatically order milk when you’re running low.”

But there has been some consumer pushback.

People still value reliability and performance most in appliances, Shead says, and “consumers have expressed concern about the technology quickly becoming outdated and unsupported in an appliance they expect to have for 10 to 20 years.”

True will focus more on advancing the production and design of kitchens rather than unnecessary smart tech in appliances that can actually hinder a product’s lifespan, he says.

There’s also consumer concern over privacy vulnerabilities with integrated microphones and cameras.

Friday, February 8, 2019

“There is such a thing as smart tech simply for smar t tech’s sake,” says Cochran. “I think the more extravagant ideas will be weeded out as the market course-corrects for functionality.”

Personalization is a trend everyone seems to agree on.

Shead has seen residential clients create smoothie station fridge drawers; fridge drawers below a coffee bar; and several wine fridges joined to create a wine vault.

“People are so proud of their kitchens — they want them to be distinctive,” Cochran says. “So I think we’ll see people rewriting the rules. Fewer huge islands. More color. More tile.

More character.”

He’s also not a fan of hiding a kitchen’s purpose.

“The idea that every counter must be constantly cleared and all appliances hidden is a thing of the past,” he says.

“I once toured a kitchen with a bespoke cappuccino maker integrated into the fine millwork. I just thought, some day that machine will break or be replaced by a better model and you will have to rip out the whole mahogany wall.

Enough is enough. Kitchens are real life.”

This photo provided by True Residential shows refrigerated columns creating a wine vault. True Residential’s Andrew Shead says they’re seeing clients customizing kitchen elements more and more â ’ one popular idea is lining up refrigerated columns like these to create an expansive wine vault. “The future kitchen is a more personalized kitchen,” Shead says.”

Compostable ‘bioplastics’ make consumer inroads

BY KATHERINE ROTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Looking for an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics — especially single-use items like bags, straws and picnic tableware — many supermarkets and vendors are offering an ar ray of compostable alternatives made from plant fibers or starches.

“The market for compostable products is growing at an incredible pace,” says Olga Kachook, sustainability manager for Petaluma, Califor nia-based World Centric, which makes ones geared mostly toward food ser vices in stadiums, school cafeterias, hotels, restaurants and convention centers. Those facilities work with industrial composting facilities, which can cut their waste exponentially.

Bioplastics, as the rapidly evolving products are also known, can be made from corn, potatoes, rice, tapioca, palm fiber, wood cellulose,

wheat fiber, sugar, or sometimes even shrimp shells, seaweed or algae. Not all bioplastics are compostable, but those that are can go right into one big industrial-composting bin along with food waste.

“Ultimately, all households will need to have a three-bin system, for industrial compost, recycling and waste. Consumers and companies are tr ying hard to identify more sustainable ways of doing things, and compostable products are an impor tant par t of the picture,” says Rhodes Yepsen, executive director of the New York-based Biodegradable Products Institute, which of fers a cer tification ensuring that products claiming to be compostable actually are.

Items must be thin enough to be compostable. Products that are certified compostable either carr y BPI’s seal of approval or are listed on the organization’s website.

The number of cer tified com-

postable products has increased by 80 percent in the past few years, according to BPI. Many of these products, like bags, cups and dishes, are increasingly available in grocer y stores.

But compostable technology is still new, and whether or not products are cer tified, it’s best to check with your local composting facility before adding them to the rest of your organic waste, experts agree.

Melissa Ozawa, gardening and features editor at Mar tha Stewar t Living magazine, says, “The best thing you can do is to use reusables.

Keep your own utensils at work, your own tote bag for the grocer y store, glass containers for home storage. And if you decide to use bioplastics and don’t have access to a composting facility, consider joining with others in your community to tr y to get one. They won’t biodegrade in your home garden or in a landfill.”

Yepsen says over 5 million house-

holds already have three-bin systems.

“We have a long way to go, but it’s encouraging to think about where recycling was in the ‘80s and where it is now,” he says. “That’s what’s happening now with compostables.

It will take some time, but I fully expect in the next 10 to 20 years, most communities will have curbside compost pickup.”

But critics say bioplastics are no silver bullet.

“They’re not as great as they seem at first glance,” says Brett Stevens, global vice president of material sales and procurement at the recycling company TerraCycle, based in Trenton, New Jersey.

Most households have no access to the industrial composting facilities needed to quickly break down these products, he notes. If they are tossed in with other plastics for recycling, SEE INROADS/PAGE 15

they pollute the recycling stream, and if tossed in the trash, they aren’t much better than traditional plastic.

Compostable products “are renewable in the sense that they can be grown and regenerated again and again,” writes Tom Szaky, TerraCycle’s CEO, in his book “From Linear to Circular: The Future of Packaging” (2019, Berrett-Koehler Publishers).

“What most consumers don’t realize is that biodegradable bioplastics will break down only under the right conditions — those of an industrial composting facility. And even if that happens, they won’t contribute value to the compost, unlike cof fee grounds or leaves, which have a wide range of micro- and macronutrients as well as a living ecosystem of bacteria and other microbes,” Szaky says.

If sent to an industrial-scale composting facility “with actively managed piles of compost under controlled conditions, and fed a diet of digest microbes,” compostable prod-

ucts will break down in less than two months, says Jeremy Kranowitz, a board member of the non-profit group Sustainable America. “ In someone’s backyard compost heap, it could easily take more than a year.

If they are accidentally sent to a landfill and buried, it could take over a centur y. And if they go into a plastics recycling bin, they will contaminate the recycling process.”

Those pr omoting compostable plastics counter that plastic recycling is already problematic, since only a small fraction of plastic products make it into the recycling stream, and the market for recycled plastics is limited.

They also say that no matter where bioplastics end up, they are more sustainable to produce than traditional plastics, made from fossil fuels. And even detractors admit that if compostable products do end up in oceans, they break down more quickly than traditional plastics.

“It’s complicated,” says Yepsen.

“But the composting infrastr ucture is slowly being built up across the countr y, and there’s huge potential in this.”

This photo provided by the Biodegradable Products Institute shows the official, recently updated BPI Certification Logo which tells consumers the product or package has been independently tested and verified and is approved for composting. Plant-based bioplastics are gradually replacing traditional plastics for many products, including trash bags, picnic tableware and lunch trays. Critics warn theyâ re far from perfect. But compostables are being embraced by many vendors and consumers as an ecofriendly way forward.

Warm Southwest style is hot in decor

BY MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A deser t storm is brewing in the design world. Renewed interest in ear thy color palettes, rich textures, tribal patterns and rustic elements has sparked a revival of Southwestern decorating style, long associated with homes in New Mexico and Arizona.

The look is interesting and exciting but also warm and casual, designers say.

“The overarching trend for 2019 is all about being real. It’s about surrounding yourself with nature, including natural fibers and earth tones,” said Dayna Isom Johnson, a trend expert with Etsy.com, the online marketplace that focuses on handmade and vintage goods. That’s a change from 2018, she says, when “it was fantasy, celestial and unicorns,” design inspired by mythology and science fiction.

Southwestern decor — distinguished by colorful, geometric prints and a palette that includes periwinkle, terracotta, cream and tan — often evokes a desert feel, said Maggie Lydecker, a designer

for the online home-goods store, Wayfair.com.

“Southwestern looks feature natural elements that bring the outdoors inside even in a small space that could other wise look stark,” she said. “For those who are hesitant to pinpoint one particular style, Southwestern can be a nice compromise, as it encompasses many different elements such as batik, leather or relaxed linen. It is easy to mix and match with this style — so what’s not to love?”

Since many homes are in styles or regions that don’t automatically scream “Southwest,” start with small touches, Isom Johnson suggests. “When a trend happens, you don’t have to deck out your entire home,” she said.

Consider adding a throw to your bed, a rug in your foyer, a piece of pottery on a living room table or new knobs to your kitchen cabinets, she said.

Linda Robinson, who works as an interior designer in Arizona, says that even there she adheres to the principle SEE HOT/PAGE 20

of blending Southwestern pieces with other elements. “It can be beautiful — the mixing,” she said. “Mixing gives character. It’s very today.”

She routinely combines Southwestern items with European antiques or Persian rugs. Two or three antique Apache baskets on a French secretary desk would create “a real focal point,” she said. She often uses wood or metal tables as pedestals to display eye-catching Southwestern pottery, baskets or art. She also gravitates to furniture with clean lines because it allows such special pieces to pop.

Traditional terracotta tiles are another mainstay of this style and can be interspersed throughout the home, Lydecker said. “Bathrooms, kitchens and stairways are great spots to have some fun with tile and clay elements,” she said.

Friday, February 8, 2019

Osa Atoe, a potter in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, incorporates geometric patterns and neutral colors with a Southwestern feel in her pottery. The look is classic, she says, and easily fits in different homes. Her pieces are “colorful and neutral at the same time.”

Vanessa Boer of Portland, Oregon, designs Southwestern-inspired housewares. “My shop’s focus is on textiles, primarily pillows, so people are able to add a pop of color or bold pattern on a couch or chair,” she said. “This adds some fun or character without having your entire living room covered in patterns, or feeling so entrenched in a specific style that you feel compelled to redecorate a year later.”

When done right, Southwestern pieces will gel with elements already in your home, Lydecker said.

“The textiles are often layered, which creates a relaxed, inviting ambiance,” she said. “With white being popular for walls and overall room palettes, Southwestern decorative elements provide a playful juxtaposition that doesn’t feel forced.”

Good design in everyday products is focus of MoMA exhibit

BY KATHERINE ROTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — From early Tupper ware containers to Chemex cof fee makers to sleek midcentur y modern furniture, a new show at the Museum of Modern Art explores the democratizing and uplifting potential of design in everyday life.

“The Value of Good Design” opened Feb. 10 and runs through June 15 at the museum, which is preparing to close its doors temporarily this summer before opening a newly expanded campus later in the year.

The exhibit takes a fresh look at ever ything from domestic fur nishings and appliances to ceramics, glass, electronics, transport design, sporting goods, toys and graphics. It focuses on household goods designed in the ‘40s and ‘50s as part of MoMA’s Good Design initiatives, which included competitions, exhibits, TV shows, educational programs and even three fully furnished houses built in the Museum Garden.

Selections of good design were toured by MoMA nationally — to

This Feb. 6 photo shows an installation view of the exhibit “The Value of Good Design,” at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The exhibit runs Feb. 10 to June 15. schools, libraries, colleges — and internationally.

MoMA’s initiatives championed welldesigned, af fordable, contemporar y products. They gave young designers a platform, and helped launch the

careers of Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and other famous designers.

Winning designs of the competitions, which also were held by other major art museums such as the Walk-

er Art Center in Minneapolis and the Detroit Institute of Arts, were then promoted in department stores, featured in magazines and strategically placed in television shows.

“To me good design is simply art applied to living,” the show quotes Dorothy Shaver, president of the Lord and Taylor department store, as saying at the 1950 launch of Good Design, a fiveyear collaboration between MoMA and the Chicago Merchandise Mar t that entailed annual exhibits in New York and Chicago.

Designs for a huge range of home goods were evaluated on appearance, function, construction and price.

The show reveals the way household design was embraced not only by museums and stores, but also by governments during the Cold War as a tool of social and economic reconstruction and technological advancement. At one point, MoMA collaborated with the State Department to circulate American designs for ever yday household SEE EXHIBIT/PAGE 22

products; there was a vibrant international exchange of ideas, with designs from other countries being shown in the U.S. while American designs were promoted overseas, according to the exhibit.

As you walk through the expansive galler y space, the neutrals and browns of the 1940s give way to the brightly colored chairs and textiles of the ‘50s. Many of the objects were so well-designed that they continue to feel contemporar y today, and can still be found in many homes.

The exhibit begins with a simple broomstick, for example, hung on the wall as a work of ar t. Nearby is a large glass case including, among other objects, an ax, with its carefully designed balance between the heavy blade and the gently cur ved wooden handle. Also featured are bath mitts and a whisk.

“People smile as they encounter things they’ve handled and used,” says Juliet Kinchin, curator in the

This Feb. 6 photo shows an installation view of the exhibit “The Value of Good Design,” at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. museum’s depar tment of architectur e and design, who organized the exhibit with curatorial assistant Andrew Gardner.

“I love the ax. It was absolutely par t of the agenda. It wasn’t about fads or fashion, it was about ask-

ing people to take a second look at things that are consistently pleasant to use and to look at,” she explains.

The show is divided into two parts: what was happening in design in the U.S. as it rose to become a superpower, and what was happening else-

where in the world.

Included are promotional videos for some of the items featured, an ad for a tiny Fiat Cinquecento car that is on display, and a video of Eames products shown in a State Depar tment-sponsored exhibit in Moscow in 1959.

“The idea of good design was an impor tant form of soft power at the time, and continues to resonate today,” Kinchin says.

“Good design is much more than just appearance and it doesn’t happen in a vacuum,” she says. “It doesn’t have to be expensive. And what was good design in the ‘50s might not necessarily be good design today.

Now, for example, sustainability really would have to be key. Any notion of good design should reflect the values of the age.”

In one section of the exhibit, visitors are invited to judge designs for themselves by tr ying out a few Good Design classics still in production, such as a Slinky toy and various styles of desk lamp. They also can evaluate whether new products, such as por table solar-powered lanterns, pass muster as good design.

Open Monday through Friday 8am-5pm; Saturday 9am-4pm When you find Owensville, you’ll find Holder’s.

US pending home sales rebounded 4.6 percent in January

BY JOSH BOAK AP ECONOMICS WRITER

WASHINGTON — More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in Januar y as lower mor tgage rates appeared to give the real estate market a boost.

The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index rose 4.6 percent last month to 103.2. The rebound has come as average 30-year mortgage rates have fallen since peaking at nearly 5 percent in early November. Still, higher mor tgage rates in 2018 depressed pending sales by 2.3 percent over the past 12 months.

The incr ease suggests that home sales may rebound this year after months of flagging purchases. Key to any increase in sales is 30-year mor tgage rates, which slipped last week to an average of 4.35 percent, according to mor tgage buyer Freddie Mac. Lower borrowing costs improves af ford-

ability for homes, which until recently have generally seen their prices climb faster than wages.

There are emerging signs that home sales might recover after a slump in home constr uction in December. Pending sales improved in the pricey markets of Seattle, Boston and San Jose, Califor nia, according to a repor t by the brokerage Redfin.

Redfin data show that pending sales jumped 15 percent in the Seattle area during Januar y, 4 percent in Boston and 8 percent in San Jose.

The Realtors’ pending sales index improved in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West in Januar y. Signed contracts jumped 8.9 percent in the South, where homes are generally more affordable. But in the pricier West, the Associated Press | Charles Krupa, File increase was just 0.3 percent.
