INSIDER ADVICE

HOW IS YOUR

ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE? JANE HERMAN

You need to take the elevator in your apartment building every day, and there are some huge pet peeves that come along for the ride. Here’s an elevator etiquette refresher.

1. EXIT THEN ENTER. Let passengers off before boarding the elevator.

2. WHEN TO TAKE THE STAIRS.

One flight up or two flights down – use the stairs when

ladywood

able. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it helps keep the flow on a busy elevator.

3. HOLD THE DOOR! Your neighbours will remember you watching the doors close on them – and not in a good way. Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator.

4. KIDS. If they’re old enough, let them push the button, but don’t let your children play with the panel or light up all the floors like a Christmas tree. That’s no way to impress the neighbours or make friends.

5. BE NEIGHBOURLY. Generally,

the people on the elevator are your neighbours. There’s no need for awkward silence – but there’s also no need for awkward questions. Don’t confuse friendliness with nosiness.

Now, enjoy the ride!

Jane Herman is a communications consultant who has worked in the rental property industry.

responded said their bed is their happy place, while 73 per cent viewed their bedroom as a sanctuary. Whether your style is cool and colourful or

DR. SHELBY HARRIS

ls eep tips 1. Make sure that the pillows you choose for your bed are conducive to your sleep style. For example, a flatter pillow if you sleep on your stomach, or a more supportive one for your neck if you sleep on your side.

Eclectic and tranquil 4

1

2. Unplugging 30-60 minutes before bed helps your brain set the stage for sleep, thereby enhancing your ability to fall asleep. If you can, make use of your phone’s “do not disturb” function for the night, which will allow for only VIP people in your life to call in case of an emergency.

3. Keep in mind that a cool bedroom is best, ideally in the mid-17s C up to 22 C maximum. It takes a bit of practice to figure out what temperature works best for you and anyone else in your house – a room that’s too warm at night makes it harder for your body to fall and stay asleep. drshelbyharris.com

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED CHUCK RESNICK Moving your worldly possessions involves a lot of organization, so it’s smart to expect the unexpected. Some DIY moves go well; others end up stressful because those doing the work don’t anticipate potential glitches.

For example, if you move in the winter and it’s a snowy, slushy day, how do you protect the floors from water/salt damage at both ends? What about getting large items around hard-to-maneuver corners without marking walls?

What if someone gets hurt? Do

you know how to pack delicate items? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home?

Training is a great preventative measure – when you shop for a mover, find out if and how the drivers and moving people are trained. Ask whether they have a “Plan B” in case of vehicle problems, and what you can do to be prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins.

Of course, there are specialty items that require an unusual level of care – pianos, pool tables, grandfather clocks, artwork, antiques and the like. The money you may save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these

large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Irreplaceable items may be lost forever.

If you decide to move yourself, give some thought to what might happen along the way and make contingency plans. Be realistic – hiring a professional mover can offer tremendous peace of mind and is money well spent.

HOW TO PICK WINE LIKE A PRO with Super Wine Girl, Angela Aiello

1

2 3 4

NEW WORLD IS ALL ABOUT GRAPES AND EUROPE IS ALL ABOUT THE PLACE IT’S FROM The first thing to understand is that in places such as Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Argentina, wines are labelled by the grapes inside the bottle. You’ll see grape names such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Shiraz and Grenache, etc.

In many places in Europe, wines are labelled by the place they are from.

You’ll see names of places such as, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Chianti, Barolo, Cahors, Priorat, Rioja and Sherry.

There are many varieties of grapes in the world and many regions that grow them. Each grape varietal and each region has a unique flavour profile – so there is always something to discover. Getting to know your favourite grapes and varietals is crucial in better understanding which wines you’ll prefer.

UNDERSTAND WINE STYLES AND HAVE AN IDEA OF WHICH STYLE YOU’RE CRAVING Do you drink according to your mood, the weather or what food you’re pairing with the wine? Your wine preferences may change based on your mood, the occasion, the time of year or what you’re preparing for the next meal. Give your style words and feelings so that you can pinpoint exactly what wine you want to try.

DON’T JUDGE A WINE BY THE LABEL OR PRICE Flashy art or a higher price tag can lead you to believe you are purchasing quality wine. Be mindful this is not always the case.

Read the labels (both front and back). You can even research the producer for added information as you can learn more about the product and the producer’s work. A nice wine label or bottle on sale will get you once but it might not get you again. There are great wines at great prices and also great wines with great labels, but judging just on looks or price is not the way to buy wine.

BE OPEN TO TAKING A WINE ADVENTURE Did you know the Canary Islands makes wine? Did you know Washington State makes killer Cabernet and that Argentina grows vineyards at high elevation, creating exceptional mountain wines?

There is so much cool stuff to learn about wine that you can literally have an adventure in every single bottle you open! You can learn about the world in every sip, and that’s really exciting, especially now when it’s hard to travel. You can taste the world from the comfort of your home with a glass of wine in your hand and Google by your side.

Cellarettes or bar cabinets, as they are called today, have been around for centuries. They appeared in Europe as early as the 15th century, designed to carry, transport and store a small number of bottled alcoholic beverages. Today, bar cabinets are multi-functional, housing your bar accessories, bottles and also acting as a great small furniture piece.

Prosecco Rosé is finally available at the LCBO, and we are tickled pink about it. In order for it to be labelled Prosecco Rosé, the grapes used must come from a specific geographic area that has passed the Italian government’s quality requirements, and be fermented for at least 60 days in stainless steel tanks. We predict the pink bubbly will be popular this season.

Furniture and design trends to watch for

osy palettes, inspiration from past decades, and a bold expression in design that highlights an awakening we have all experienced as we slowly slip out of the pandemic — these are the drivers behind the trends to expect this fall.

While we move toward embracing comfort, sustainability continues to be a focus in the supply chain. We will need to be intentional about spaces that will impact how we live while emphasizing our well-being and productivity. As we say goodbye to all-white kitchens, fast furniture, minimalism, and open floorplans, we are excited about the optimism and revival these trends are offering in everything from colours and material to furniture and design.

Most importantly, as we move into the subsequent seasons and infuse our homes with personality, there will be a return to lasting style. Consumers are ready to purchase one-of-akind, beautifully well-made items for timeless design that will look great no matter what the decade.

Kitchen. devolkitchens.com

An ode to nature, a return to decadence and

an embrace of what is being termed as “newstalgia” — this is what is coming for fall 2022

Luna SIDEBOARD. thelifestyleloft.com

MODERN TAKE ON VINTAGE CLASSICS Inspiration taken from the decadent art deco movement, a refined 1960 to 1980’s retro vibe and a modern play on the grand millennial chic of the 1990s has resulted in layering these decades and artfully recreating and honing these eras to usher them into 2022.

With the return of the roll arm sofa, skirted furniture and plush channel tufting, the textures feel calm, mindful and warm. The prints evoke a feeling of nostalgia while celebrating the now, all the while honouring and satisfying our craving for serenity and wellbeing, elevating our need for newness and excitement.

From warm ochres, muted terracotta and sage to earthy browns and fanciful caramel, these tones will live in harmony and add warmth and richness, bringing the fall indoors to provide a reinvigorating, comfortable and exciting vibe for when we settle into the winter season.

EMBRACE THE EXCESS While we loved the minimalist japandi style with the peaceful calm vibes of the Scandinavian influence, maximalism is ushering its way into our design schemes and we are loving it all. It gives us a chance to indulge in personality, glamour and create breathtaking moments with oneof-a-kind pieces in the home.

Luxe wallpapers, detailed tile installations, sculptural detail and an array of playful shapes and architectural touches means this trend is about going big and bold.

MATERIAL MANIA

Romola accent CHAIR. thelifestyleloft.com

This season’s furniture, decor, and design trends are all about embracing luxe. Think ultravelvets, coloured marble, honed-in sculptural pieces and the everevolving rattan and statementmaking light fixtures. We anticipate designers curating bespoke pieces and consumers paying tribute to their one-of-a-kind taste to honour the maximalist design style. Expect to see a refreshing spotlight on warm earthy neutrals in stone and clay materials, and minimally textured plasters that will reflect the craftsmanship and artistry we love.

ADVICE | RENTAL TIPS

SIX TIPS FOR RENTING WITH PETS

by MARLENE EISNER 1. Don’t wait until the last minute.

Begin looking for a pet-friendly rental property at least six to eight weeks before you need to move.

2. Be flexible. Look at a lot of different locations/ neighbourhoods and property types (apartment blocks, condo units, homes). This will improve your chances of finding a suitable place for you and your pet.

3. Introduce your pet to your new landlord. Invite your new landlord to your current home to show the animal has caused no problems there or ask if you can bring your pet to the

landlord’s home. You want to show that your dog is calm and well-behaved.

4. Don’t sneak your pet in without permission. This will only lead to future problems and the landlord can give you notice to move out.

5. Get written permission from the landlord. Ask them to add a clause to your tenancy agreement that says your pet is allowed to live there and any conditions set by the landlord.

As well, make sure that any “no pets” clauses are removed from the agreement. If you already have one pet and would like to get another, talk

to your landlord to make sure it’s okay.

6. Be prepared to pay a pet damage deposit. Your landlord can ask you to pay a pet damage deposit that can be up to one month’s rent. This is in addition to your security deposit and tenant services deposit (if applicable).

FOR THE LOVE OF

AUTUMN VINE CHARGER PLATE williams-sonoma.com

by SALINA YARA HALABI

ozy season has officially arrived.

Sweater weather fashion, pumpkin spice everything and holiday decor are filling shops and social feeds. As temperatures turn chilly, out come the extra layers of scarves and coats, warm textures and all the style staples that make fall fashion so fabulous. But layering isn’t just a style direction for dressing in the colder months, it also serves as inspiration for home decor and provides a much-needed dose of je ne sais quoi aesthetic to our indoor spaces.

The art of layering can often seem daunting but taking the time to curate items that feel different, yet come together with unexpected cohesion, creates a truly special effect. So, what’s the secret to perfecting the effortless layered look? Lean on trends that are popular this season; like rich tones, natural textures, and graphic patterns for a space that feels fresh. Keeping a neutral base can help keep this style trend more approachable and provide a comforting foundation to build upon. Or, reverse it and start with a dynamic base, like a bold rug or exciting wallpaper, and layer with simpler patterns and natural textures.

If you have a gorgeous feature wall this is your sign to hang some ornate frames with a collection of photos, art or prints.

Use layers in the most literal sense and add warm throws and more pillows to your sofas and chairs. The holiday season is almost here, so amp up your dining table game and add some lux layers with charger plates, eclectic napkin rings, moody blooms and candles. The options with layering are endless and your space is going to feel so much more personal, lived-in and filled with character for the comfiest time of year.

HouseHold of one: Tips foR living alone tAkE gooD CArE of yoursElf

JANE HERMAN

No matter how large or small your apartment is, make your space as comfortable and as welcoming as you can. Your home should be your refuge, a place where you can relax and unwind, and enjoy returning to at the end of the day. Enjoy having that haven all to yourself without someone else putting their influence on your space, or making messes or changes that put you out of sorts.

EstAblIsh gooD hAbIts from DAy onE

Hang up your coat when you come home, even if it’s only on a hook you’ve affixed to your hall wall; take out the garbage and recycling every time you go out; put your clothes away and keep your things reasonably tidy; do your dishes and laundry on a regular basis; clean the apartment and change the bathroom towels once a week. A houseplant or two and some fresh flowers will give you a refreshing lift.

Don’t buy EVErythIng All At onCE

Home furnishings come in all price ranges. Set yourself up with the basics and then, depending on your circumstances, upgrade, enliven and accessorize over time, one room at a time. Buy the best bedding, sheets and towels you can afford.

Plan and prepare healthy meals for yourself instead of eating a quick dinner in front of athe TV. Imagine that you’re dining with someone – set the table attractively, use real dishes and cutlery, put on some good music or read a book or a magazine. mAkE fItnEss A prIorIty

Whether you like to get up early and do yoga, ride a bike, run or go to the gym after work, make exercise a part of your daily routine. Regular exercise relieves stress and depression, improves energy, concentration and sleep, prevents many diseases and enhances the general quality of your life.

engage in alone in your apartment, like writing or painting, it can be even more isolating. Get out of your apartment and go for a coffee or for a walk in a mall or a park or to the library. Just getting out and being with people will make you feel better.

tAkE ADVAntAgE of All thE bEnEfIts of lIVIng AlonE

usE your tImE In A mEAnIngful wAy

Initially you may find living along to be fun and exciting. You can set the temperature to your preference, rather than someone else’s; arrange the furniture however you like, monopolize the bathroom without feeling guilty, listen to whatever music you like and indulge your preference for vegetarian food over meat.

But there’s also the potential to become lonely and bored when living alone.

Volunteer for an organization or cause you feel strongly about. You will meet people who share your interests and concerns and really make a difference in the world, even if in a small way. And, you are less likely to feel lonely and sorry for yourself when you are helping others. Enjoy the freedom you have to be alone in your apartment to the fullest. One day, you may find yourself sharing your space with someone else.

work in style THE RENTERS GUIDE CATCHES UP WITH LIFESTYLE BLOGGER CANDACE ALONGI OF THE MINTED MAMA TO CHAT ABOUT HOW SHE WAS ABLE TO CREATE A SWOON-WORTHY HOME OFFICE

by SARA DUCK photos DARBY MITCHELL PHOTOGRAPHY

What was the inspiration for your office?

Colour, colour and more colour! I wanted this room to be the central creative hub of our home, and nothing sparks creativity like colour. I started with the art and used those tones and shades for all the other decorative elements.

Your favourite element in the space?

The oversized drum pendant from Dainolite is hands-down my favourite element. The office is situated on a split level between the first and second floors, has no windows and the ceilings are more than 15 ft. tall. While we did install pot lights to keep the space bright, we needed something beautiful to fill up the vast space above the upper cabinets, and this white and gold fixture couldn’t be more perfect.

How were you able to keep things looking great but also organized?

While the office includes lots of pretty objects and decorative elements, I made sure that trays, baskets, and files were worked into the design to keep all the office essentials in their proper place. Just because a working home office needs to be functional, doesn’t mean it can’t be cute at the same time.

What was the biggest challenge of the room?

Since I share our home office with my husband, I needed to hold back the reigns a bit to avoid it becoming overly pretty. While I did manage to work plenty of pink into the design – we kept the cabinets grey, installed a navy DIY bookshelf and worked in neutral elements to calm down the girly vibes.

ADVICE | ORGANIZED LIVING

Get into your orGanizinG

groove Hellen Buttigieg

With the kids heading back to school soon, now is the time to de-clutter and get your home organized.

WHAT’S IN YOUR FREEZER?

An organized freezer allows you to find and use what you have, prevents waste and saves you money. Freeze sauces, meats and berries in zipper freezer bags and use permanent marker to write the contents and date directly on the bags. Use sturdy, flat-bottomed freezer baskets to store the floppy freezer bags. Organize by category (frozen vegetable in one basket, sauces in another). Place new foods at the back of the freezer and use the oldest food first.

STORE YOUR SEASONAL CLOTHING

Before storing them, ensure that they have been cleaned. Even if items appear clean after wearing, 56

Renters Guide | Oct. 7–21, 2022

body oils can cause stains that set over a few months and may attract moths. Never store clothing in plastic bags for extended periods (even those that come from drycleaners); they trap moisture and encourage mildew. Use cotton garment bags instead. Avoid storing clothes in cardboard boxed as acids in the cardboard can cause fabrics to yellow and the glue between the layers can attract insects. Use lidded plastic storage containers instead. Tuck some cedar blocks or shavings inside (it’s less toxic than moth balls). Always store the clothes in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.

MAXIMIZE BATHROOM STORAGE SPACE

Place items you use daily within easy reach, like on the countertop, in the top drawer or in a hanging organizer in the shower area.

Store items used once or twice a week in the next most-accessible place, like the middle drawer or under the sink.

Stash items used only once or twice a month in the back of the cupboard or in labelled boxes.

For shared bathrooms, avoid turf wars by giving each person their own shower tote, which can be stored in the person’s bedroom when not in use.

HOW DO YOU FILE YOUR PAPERWORK?

Some experts suggest placing new paper behind previous ones (filing to the back) because it’s faster and easier to drop papers in the file that way. On the other hand, when you are looking for papers inside your files, you are more likely to need the most current ones, so you could access them faster if you filed them at the front. This just goes to show that organizing is not one size fits all; you need to fine the systems that work best for you.

LOOK ONLINE

Online reviews host a wealth of information about local businesses around you, but don’t stop there.

Bookmark some local blogs they’re known for publishing ‘bestof’ lists and frequently updated listings to community events. And while you might not be a tourist, travel websites can be a great place to find the must-trys and can’t-misses in your new city.

Renters Guide | Oct. 7–21, 2022

ASK AROUND

Independent exploration and online research can only take you so far. Don’t be shy - take the initiative and ask someone in your project group to suggest some lunch options. Take up your

coworkers on those after-work drinks. Use opportunities to get to know others better, and ask questions! People love to share their experiences - good, bad, and ugly, and it’ll give you some much needed insight when you’re a recent transplant to a new place.

If you’re introverted and this all sounds easier said than done, try connecting with just one or two people you feel comfortable with.

Asking for recommendations is a casual way to break the ice and get a conversation started. You’ll get settled much quicker if you develop your social network.
