The future has arrived in Edmonton, and it’s in Jayman BUILT’s latest showhome. You don’t believe me? Check out The Charlotte 26 in The Hills at Charlesworth and see if you’re not as impressed. Our cover feature for the month details the outstanding Net Zero features of the home that’s outfitted in Jayman’s latest Quantum Performance specifications. Jayman BUILT President Dave Desormeaux tells us that it basically surpasses 2030 building codes, adding that the Quantum Perfromance home brings Net Zero efficiency and sustainability and makes it affordable. Read our review inside and find out more.

We’ve got a lot more to cover as spring arrives and there seems to be a new energy running through the market that has not let up even during the lockdown. We turn our spotlight on townhomes in this issue and all the various types that this popular home option has. Stacked, row, on-slab, below-grade with condo fees or without, it’s no wonder that townhomes have been so popular and we see where the most popular ones in Edmonton are.

We also take an in-depth look at the first-time homebuyer and talk to homebuilders to see what this demographic – the acknowledged life blood of the industry – are buying and where. And in our monthly Explore series, we take a walk down the Northeast and see the best communities and amenities here.

It has been a long, cold winter but it seems that we have put that all behind us, and now with the warmer weather there’s a new optimism in the air. And though not everything is back to normal yet, spring brings a new hope as it always does.

Example of secondary suite in Rohit Communities’ new Landon show home in Edgemont East.

SECONDARY SUITES LAURA BRUNO

The City of Edmonton has made great strides to encourage and allow for a wide range of housing options. This includes secondary suites which are now able to be built in more housing types, such as row and semi-detached homes, in more areas across the City.

Secondary suites are essentially a separate dwelling that has its own living, cooking, sleeping, and washroom facilities. They can be located within your existing home, usually in a basement or above a garage, or as its own structure in a backyard – otherwise known as a garden suite.

These suites can help to provide more forms of affordable housing across the City. They can also be a great option for multi-generational living such as an in-law suite or as 8

New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

a separate space for adult children.

Another option is people renting out the primary dwelling and downsizing to move into the suite for less maintenance but familiar surroundings.

Secondary suites are also a great way to generate rental income that could go towards your regular mortgage payments.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) will allow 100% of the rental income from legal secondary suites to be used when qualifying for a mortgage.

This can be especially helpful for first-time home buyers looking to increase their buying power.

A secondary suite can be planned and built during the construction of your new home or you may choose to start with the infrastructure and complete the build at a later date. Either way, your home builder will be able to discuss the process and requirements with you so you can make an informed decision.

With Edmonton City Council moving forward with a new

Municipal Development and Transportation Master Plan, the City Plan, and the Zoning Bylaw amendments which removed the requirement for parking minimums, it is a great time for innovative new uses of space and resources to positively impacting housing affordability.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven organization that has fostered a community for the residential construction industry supporting more than 450 member companies through advocacy, education and recognition.

Laura Bruno is the Chief Executive Officer of CHBA – ER. Laura began her career in land development where she discovered she had a passion for the industry. She started at CHBA – ER in 2018 and has been a strong advocate and champion for the industry since assuming that role.

COVER STORY

JAYMAN BUILT CHARTS COURSE FOR NET ZERO HOMES IN ALBERTA

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Jayman BUILT has long spearheaded innovation in the Alberta homebuilding market and now they are taking the industry a quantum leap into the future as they introduce a new line of Net Zero homes.

Its new Quantum Performance Ultra Efficient Homes combine cutting-edge energy-saving technology, smart home automation and affordability to give every single-family homebuyer the opportunity to live in a home equipped for the future.

And they are now available from Jayman BUILT in Edmonton and Calgary.

“Today, Jayman’s homes are already 20 per cent more energy efficient than code requires.

These Quantum Performance homes bring that up to 80 percent better than code,” Jayman BUILT President and COO Dave 10 New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

Desormeaux tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “These homes will save customers approximately $2,300 a year in energy bills compared to the average Alberta home.”

Net Zero homes produce as much energy as they consume annually, and Jayman’s Quantum Performance homes have a minimal environmental footprint that prevents eight tonnes of greenhouse gases emissions per year. By generating its own power, a Quantum Performance home uses much less power from the electrical grid that is typically generated by burning natural gas or other fuels that emit greenhouse gases.

Desormeaux adds that this new line of homes already surpasses the 2030 building codes. “We’ve basically reached the 2050 targets that the federal government has

outlined for Canada – this home is equipped for the future and will have a better resale value.”

An example of the promise this new Quantum Performance home brings can be seen in Jayman BUILT’s latest showhome in Edmonton, the Charlotte 26 in the southwest community of Hills at Charlesworth. This Net Zero 2,612-square-foot, threebedroom, two-and-a-half bath, double car attached garage front drive home comes equipped with what already comes standard with any Jayman home – including complete home automation and rooftop solar panels.

“The intent was to show how any of our homes can be a Net Zero home,” Desormeaux says.

The Charlotte 26 is already one of Jayman BUILT’s most popular homes. It features an oversized central island in the

kitchen and has the flexibility to turn the main floor flex room into a bedroom. This home can have up to five bedrooms! And the new showhome comes with all the bells and whistles of Quantum Performance Ultra-E home.

“There is no internal combustion in this home, everything is 100 per cent electric,” Desormeaux says.

Everything is automated, from wireless light switches, temperature and humidity controls, and voice-activated showers. Alexa powers all the smart applications through the home and is already a standard feature in Jayman BUILT homes since last year. It is also equipped for the future with 200-amp electrical wiring needed for charging electric vehicles.

Jayman also utilizes sustainable materials throughout most of the showhome, flooring, tiles and even the drapery are made of recycled materials. “We also do our best to source everything locally,” Desormeaux adds.

The Quantum Performance home’s secret is its next generation envelope that virtually seals in the temperatures of the home – which keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

“The challenge was how to make a Net Zero home affordable, and Jayman has found a way to do this through our constant research and development process, and our buying power and relations with trades.” The Quantum series of homes will cost around $50,000 to $60,000 more than a similar home and lot. “This added cost is offset by the $2,300 annual energy savings achieved – and that is just based on current energy costs and those rates are expected to increase significantly in the next few years.”

EDMONTON MARKET IS RIPE FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

There is no denying the importance of first-time homebuyers in the new home market, they are basically its lifeblood. And with prevailing circumstances in the Edmonton market right now, there is ample opportunity for those on the fence to make the jump to homeownership.

There’s no shortage of new home options to choose from, and a ton of new communities are opening up with fantastic deals for the right buyer. Mortgage rates remain at a record low providing a major incentive for buyers. The federal government 16 New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

is also providing some assistance through the First Time Home Buyer Program from the National Housing Strategy that helps eligible first-time homebuyers purchase their first home.

In Edmonton, even the municipal government is doing its part to encourage first-time homebuyers with its First Place Program. The First Place Program partners the City with banks and builders to develop vacant surplus school building sites into attractive townhomes targeted specifically at this market.

According to the program’s website, the homes are market

Rohit Communities

priced, with a five- year deferral on the land portion of the mortgage, making them more accessible to first time home buyers.

Still, stepping into such a big life-changing commitment, it’s normal to have doubts. That’s why a lot of homebuilders offer further assurances that can help new home buyers make the decision. We talk to Carrington Communities, Excel Homes and Rohit Group of Companies – a few of the city’s premier providers of new homes for first-time buyers – to get an insight in today’s market.

A LOGICAL FIRST STEP

Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank says the starter home is the first step to the buyer’s independence. “It’s most likely one of the largest purchases an individual has made at this point in their lives, and we want to ensure that the home includes everything they could need and more!”

Carrington Communities Marketing Manager, Courtney Provencal, agrees, saying owning a home allows one to control their future by providing security and stability they wouldn’t otherwise get with renting.

“When you own your home, you don’t have to worry about rent increases, having to move every couple of years, and you have freedom to personalize your home with paint colors and other design features,” she says.

It’s a great time to jump in the homebuying game now, she adds. “Today’s real estate market is excellent for potential homebuyers, especially firsttime buyers. There are federal supports you can access through the Frist-Time Homebuyers Incentive, allowing you to save less for your down payment, and in effect afford a higher mortgage payment. Combined with historic low interest rates your monthly payments will often equal less than rent prices.”

Excel Homes

Rohit Group of Companies takes this a step further by participating in the First Place Program, and they are one of the two homebuilders that have partnered with the City in this. “The First Place Program is near and dear to my heart. I worked on our pilot project back in 2008,” Rohit Group of Companies Marketing Director, Amy Power, tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide.

STARTER HOMES

Starter homes can be anything from a single-family home to a multi-family apartment or townhome, it just depends on the buyer’s budget. But it is predominantly a smaller home that buyers just starting in life can afford.

Excel Homes

Carrington Communities is Edmonton’s top builder of multifamily homes and though they build for every stage of life, a big chunk of their buyers are first timers.

“Condo living is very appealing to first-time buyers, they get the independence and security of owning a home, without the worry of maintenance like snow removal and landscaping,” says Carrington Communities marketing manager, Courtney Provencal.

Additionally, Carrington picks their locations very meticulously, taking care that they are surrounded by amenities essential for their buyers. “Many of our locations are a quick walk or drive to major commercial amenities and transit and include

underground parking and other building amenities like a fitness centre,” Provencal adds.

For Excel Homes, it’s their single-family homes that gets majority of their first-time homebuyer business. “Our most popular (starter) product types are duplex, laned and frontdrive garage homes,” Plank says.

“Buyers who are coming from renting an apartment or condo will appreciate the detached living aspects of this product type. These detached homes offer a sanctuary for new homeowners, a space that is entirely their own.”

FIRST PLACE PROGRAM

Edmonton’s First Place Program is revitalizing mature neighbourhoods through the redevelopment of unused school sites to create attainable housing options specifically for first time buyers, and Rohit is fully onboard with the initiative. “Those buyers enter the housing market with a financial advantage by allowing them to defer the land cost payments for five years interest free. The infill locations are often near parks and schools with existing amenities in place, making them perfect for new buyers and young families,” Power says.

“Rohit has been a part of the First Place Program in partnership with the City of Edmonton for over a decade, providing homes Carrington Communities

18 New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

for over 400 first time buyers through this program alone. Our newest First Place development is Michaels Park in the Millwoods area where we are building threebedroom townhomes with over 1,400 square feet of living space and double attached garages.”

BEST SELLERS

“When it comes to starter condos, customers are often driven by price,” says Provencal. “After saving a down payment and securing a low interest rate it’s important that they can stay within their budget for monthly payments.”

She points out that their Elements by Carrington development is popular with firsttime buyers, as prices are very budget-friendly ranging between the low $150,000s for a one bedroom up to the mid $200,000s for a two-bedroom. “It’s the affordability factor as well as proximity to highways and major commercial amenities that buyers love,” she says.

First-time homebuyers have really taken a liking to Excel Homes’ single-family offerings, especially the Collingwood model.

“In 2020 we sold a recordbreaking number of Collingwood homes to families looking to start their journey to new homeownership,” Plank says.

The Collingwood is one of our most flexible front-drive garage

Carrington Communities

plans, offering buyers the ability to personalize their new home with several upgrades including a bedroom on the main floor, the addition of a spice kitchen, and the ability to add a side entry to the basement.” The Collingwood is available in Edmonton’s Cavanagh and Keswick Landing communities.

“All of our communities have unique selling features that will attract different buyers!”

Rohit offers a wide range of home style any one of which can fit a first-time homebuyers’ needs.

“We see first time buyers in all our product lines – from apartments and townhomes to duplexes and single-family homes,” Power says.

“In Edmonton, our townhomes and duplexes offered throughout the city are highly sought after by first time buyers. Our newest townhome, the Parker in Arbours of Keswick, is gaining popularity with new buyers as well. And of course, the First Place projects.”

THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF

TOWNHOMES Flexibility, affordability and an inherent charm of a jewel box home has made townhomes a popular option for a wide range of buyers. From those buying their first home, to retirees and empty nesters looking to scale back their lifestyle – townhomes promise a comfortable, attainable, fulfilling lifestyle.

Shared walls may be the only common trait in townhomes, as there are a lot of styles to choose from. They may be stacked on top of each other; or sitting side-by-side in a row; they can offer single-level living or a three-storey lifestyle; they can have condo fees and there 22

New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

are those that don’t. They are the most versatile housing option in the Edmonton market now, and the shared lifestyle it offers may be the best answer for many new home buyers.

A big part of its popularity is that it is a multi-family home that offers the closest lifestyle to a detached single-family home, but at usually a more affordable price.

New home builders realize that townhome buyers make up a significant part of the market and have constantly come up with new models, more engaging floorplans and made it more affordable in some cases. There are a ton of options to choose from, in almost

any part of the city – it’s just a matter of preference and budget.

TYPES OF TOWNHOMES

Any of the new communities in and around the city will offer townhome developments, and buyers have lots to choose from that can suit their needs. There are traditional townhomes that have three floors and a developable basement, then there are those with three floors but built on slab (meaning level to the ground and do not have a below-grade basement). Some have attached garages, and some don’t.

Then there are stacked townhomes that place one- or

two-storey units on top of each other. They give homeowners more separation than a typical condo, because each unit has its own exterior front door and there are no elevators or shared lobbies.

Buyers can also find back-to-back townhomes that in addition to sharing side walls, homes share a back wall with another. This improves affordability, while still giving homeowners their own space. There are quite a few more types like bungalow villas and live-work models that fall into the category.

We spoke to three townhome builders in Edmonton to get their insights on this unique home option. Averton, Cantiro and StreetSide Developments share their thoughts on why townhomes are an important part of the market.

LIFESTYLE APPEAL

Kim Tieu, Senior Marketing Manager at Cantiro, says the timeless appeal of townhomes is in the liberating lifestyle it offers.

“For many people, owning a home is a point of pride, but it’s not the most important part of their lives. The low maintenance lifestyle of townhomes offers people the freedom to spend their time doing things they love like traveling or going out to eat with friends (of course, not during COVID times). The attainability aspect of it is also a plus, as they’re not tied to a large mortgage and have the money to spend on the things just mentioned.”

There is also the added advantage of not having to worry about exterior maintenance of the home.

“Common areas are taken care of year-round, the investment of your property is protected,” she says.

Dave Armstrong, Sales and Marketing Director at StreetSide Developments Edmonton, says that the wide variety of townhome style offered also makes it a perfect in fitting most lifestyle needs. “If there’s a style of townhome, we most likely offer it. We have three-storey, two-storey, bungalow, attached garage, detached garage, maintenance-free condo and free hold (non condo). We are in all corners of Edmonton and Spruce Grove, too,” he says.

Averton is actively redefining townhomes,

says Averton Marketing Manager, Jennifer Corelli.

“Averton has developed a unique expertise in the area of townhome and community design, with a focus on architecture, landscape, open space, and social connection. This is a practice that we are bringing to several communities throughout the Greater Edmonton Region.”

THE AFFORDABILITY ASPECT

Buyers can find a townhome to fit their need almost anywhere in Edmonton, in almost any style – from the modern village feel townhomes to the more traditional ones in the suburbs. What’s common among them is the relative affordability.

“Affordability is a huge factor when considering purchasing a new home, townhomes are priced in the market striking a balance for first time homebuyers and downsizers, giving them the ability to save on their purchase,” Armstrong says.

But affordable doesn’t mean cheap, says Cantiro’s Tieu. “Cantiro Townhomes don’t sacrifice style for affordability. Our luxury townhomes are elevated and designed with incredible functionality to suit any lifestyle, while also offering people an upscale experience with high end finishes, oversized windows, glass balcony railings and free-standing tubs.”

Corelli agrees, saying their townhomes in their new development of Midtown in St. Albert start from the low $300,000. Yet the architectural and design touchpoints “create an unparalleled value in an offering that is truly unique in the region,” she says.

“The care taken in selecting exterior and energyrated building materials results in a better performing and energy saving home, which creates long-term savings and peace of mind.”

AVERTON

Averton’s Midtown is Canada’s first BUILT GREEN® certified community, Corelli says, and not only are they environmentally responsible they look good too. “Midtown’s buyers appreciate thoughtful design and that our townhomes can be tailored to their individual preferences,” Corelli says.

Averton

Cantiro Townhomes

“Our townhomes in Midtown are set within a 45-acre master-planned community that features a variety of trails, parks spaces, and gathering areas that encourage social connection between neighbours,” Corelli says. Midtown’s townhomes feature private rooftop terraces and balconies and a truly maintenance-free lifestyle.

Midtown offers a variety of floorplans for nearly every modern lifestyle. Whether it’s a New Yorkinspired loft or a spacious three bedroom, each plan has been thoughtfully crafted to maximize usable space and ease the flow of everyday life.

Averton also has award-winning communities like Pivot in Rutherford and One at Keswick that Corelli says “showcase our dedication to building townhomes that are modern and unique, with an elevated sense of design and stunning architecture.”

First possessions in Midtown are scheduled for early spring and new phases will be released soon, Corelli says. Visit Midtown at 51-5 Rondeau Drive, St. Albert, or go to livemidtown.ca.

CANTIRO TOWNHOMES

Cantiro offers condominium townhomes with double car drive under garages. “We offer seven different models with options for a dual master, two- bedroom plus bonus room, or three-bedroom layout. The townhomes have a small condo fee associated with them.”

She says their townhomes fit the lifestyle of their biggest demographic, young professionals, and Cantiro’s ONE at Keswick in southwest Edmonton is a perfect example of the stylishly affordable townhomes they offer.

“ONE at Keswick itself is a desirable community – the townhomes are adjacent to a park and the community features tons of walking trails and green space. It’s also located within walking distance of community based commercial centres (Keswick Square) and within a five-minute drive to Current of Windermere,” Tieu says.

“For young families, there are two brand new schools that are within walking distance currently being constructed.”

There is a current show home available for selfguided tours located at 1105 Keswick Drive SW. “A brand-new show home will open in April,” she says.

STREETSIDE DEVELOPMENTS EDMONTON

One of StreetSide’s most popular townhome developments is in Uplands at Riverview, which offers another lifestyle element unique to townhomes.

These are fee-simple townhomes, which means no condo fees. And they have been a big hit.

These are three-storey townhomes in the Modern Farmhouse style that includes quartz countertops and vinyl plank flooring. They also have private balconies and attached garages and start from $254,000.

“Our Modern Farmhouse townhomes located in the Uplands community in Edmonton is releasing the next phase on Feb 27th. Our first phase was released last year and was 65 per cent sold out before we opened our show homes. We expect to sell out our initial launch quickly,” Armstrong says.

Uplands is located near North Saskatchewan River in South West Edmonton, this pioneering community offers great access to major roadways and amenities in the already established community of Edgemont.

Elements Manning by Carrington

EXPLORE N.E. EDMONTON THE CITY’S NEW NORTHEAST BOOMS

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ The northeastern sector of Edmonton is coming out of its shell in a big way. What used to be a more industrial part of the city is now gaining a reputation for the wide range of family-friendly, nature-centric, amenity-rich residential communities that are found in this New Northeast The northeast now boasts a plethora of varied housing options, tons of recreational activities, and its close proximity to the city center and other parts of Edmonton are some of its best features.

New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

“Northeast Edmonton is growing and becoming increasingly desirable due to its close proximity to Anthony Henday as well as retail and restaurants such as Manning Town Centre and the newly renovated Londonderry Mall,” says Carrington Communities marketing manager, Courtney Provencal.

Carrington offers a couple of condo developments in NE Edmonton – Elements Manning and Northshore - that add to the diverse selection of housing opportunities in the quadrant.

Pieces of Paradise

Kimberly Walker, Marketing Manager at Qualico Communities Edmonton agrees, saying the convenience residents get here is just incredible. She says its community of Cy Becker in the norther edge of the quadrant exemplifies the amenity-rich lifestyle available here.

Eddie’s Donair

Cy Becker by Qualico Communities

“Cy Becker is ideally located with quick access to Manning Drive and the Henday, which makes getting around the city easy. Along with great access to major roadways there are plenty of commercial amenities at your fingertips. Whether you are looking for restaurants, shopping, banking or groceries, the options around Cy Becker are plenty and convenient,” Walker says.

The borders of the NE Edmonton quadrant are commonly seen as the Yellowhead Trail to the south, the city limits to the north and east, and 97 Street to the west. Our NextHome Northeast Map shows no less than 13 new communities and three major multi-family developments in the vicinity.

Growth in the future is seen, and the relative affordability of homes here will likely make it a certainty.

Provencal says their Elements Manning condos are available from the $150,000s, quite the deal considering its prime location.

“Affordability and location are the biggest advantages of this development, being a quick drive or leisurely walk away from major commercial centre is very appealing to many homebuyers,” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide.

Carrington’s Northshore condos are likewise conveniently located in the heart of north Edmonton’s Lake District, just northeast of 82 Street and 167 Avenue.

“This condominium community offers a new wave of living with all the conveniences of the city. Positioned adjacent to an expansive park area, Northshore is just Northwest of Lake Schonsee and combines the comfort and tranquility of subdivision living with the convenience of urban living” Provencal adds.

More than just affordable, Cy Becker offers homes where families can set roots in. This Qualico Communities development is a master-planned community that offers singlefamily, duplex and townhomes from City Homes, Coventry Homes, Pacesetter Homes, Sterling Homes, StreetSide Development, and Berry Homes.

Cy Becker is conveniently located near major commuter arteries, including Highway 15 and the northern extension of Anthony Henday Drive. But at the center of the community, you’ll find its crown jewel: All Seasons Park. It offers year-round enjoyment with a splash park, skating ribbon and tobogganing hill, in addition to walking trails, scenic ponds, and multiple play spaces, Walker says.

Life is that much easier too, as they are surrounded by amenities including the Manning Town Centre, Clareview Rec Centre as well as Londonderry Leisure Centre. “Clareview LRT access is a short drive away which provides extra transit options for those in need,” she adds.

Besides the big box stores that bring convenience to life, NE Edmonton is also replete with boutique stores and familyowned diners and eateries that bring so much character to the neighbourhood.

A favourite in these parts is Eddie’s Donair on 167 Ave. NW. Their menu is packed with amazing shawarmas, donairs, wraps, and much more all offered at unbeatable prices. Eddie’s Donair take you on an exquisite experience with our offerings that are always rich in flavour, perfect for whole family or ordering late-night food with friends.

There’s also Fuss Cupcakes, Edmonton’s Original Cupcake Bakery! A city favourite for 10 years.

Locally owned and 100 per cent nut free. They have cakes, cupcakes and sweet treats, including glutenfree and vegetarian friendly cakes.

They are a favourite caterer for birthdays, weddings and corporate events. It has three locations, but the one in the Namao Centre serves the northeast residents.

The new Pieces of Paradise fair trade décor store in Londonderry Mall is also getting positive reviews with its love for Indonesia design. They buy directly from 300 Indonesia artists for the unique handmade pieces that can be seen in the store.

Check out some of these outstanding local stores the next time you visit the NE Edmonton showhomes. nexthome.ca 31

Ahead of the

trend watch

by SARA DUCK

Have you noticed that arches are having a major moment in design? The first thing that pops into my mind when I think of an arch (or arc) is the rainbow, that perfect burst of colour in unison after a rainfall; it’s a natural wonder that always inspires. Architecture often mimics the natural world, and it’s no different with the arch, as it appeared in design as early as the second millennium BC. And the Romans famously used 200 arches in the construction of the Colosseum. Arches tend to lift the eye upward, symbolizing support, lightness and openness.

These days, you can find the classic design element not just in doorways but on everything from cushions to earrings.

36

New Home + Condo Guide | March 5–April 2, 2021

organized

D

id you know that the one thing in every home that never gets misplaced is your toothbrush? Why is that? Well, it’s simple – your toothbrush has a home, so you always know where to put it back after use. Even if you walk around the house and brush your teeth, you won’t just leave your toothbrush randomly on the couch or on top of the fridge. No matter how busy you are, you will always make the time to go and put it back.

So why don’t we do this with everything else in the house?

Why do we leave our shoes in the middle of the hallway, or our hairbrush on the couch? This is something I never understood about human nature. Don’t get me wrong, I’m guilty of this too, but I just don’t understand it.

I will say this though, the more I implement systems and create a “home” for all of my items, the easier my life has become. Even during the most hectic times (we all have them), it takes only 15 minutes to put everything back where it belongs and return order in my home.

The good news is there are many little tips and tricks to make this fool-proof. Here are my top five:

My advice for going from “I leave my stuff wherever it falls” to “everything has a home” is to start small. Don’t try to do it all in one swoop. You’ll get overwhelmed.

Start with something like footwear. Then, after a few days of getting into that habit, add something new to the list.

It takes an average of 66 days to create a habit. So, for the next 66 days, I challenge you to use this time to create the habit of organization. Two months, and you’ll have a whole new space to call home!

1

De-clutter: Keep only the bare minimum of what you need. Less is more. This alone will solve half of your organizational issues.

2

Utilize vertical storage: What does this mean? It means to use your walls and doors to hang things on, instead of trying to shove everything into a cupboard or leaving things on counters.

3

Make sure to use up cupboard dead space.

Sometimes we open a cupboard and put things on the main shelf, leaving four ft. of space above it.

In these cases, there are actually two options. You can buy stackable bins/drawers, or install more shelves in the dead space in between.

Oddly enough, I think buying more shelves is actually cheaper than buying bins (depending on the space, of course).

4 Using these tips will get you well on your way to keeping your small space organized. However, the biggest and best solution is starting with No. 1. The less you own, the less you’ll have to keep organized. It’s as simple as it sounds, and once you get the hang of living life consuming less, you’ll feel so much better!

Label the spaces where things should go. This will make you accountable to put your items exactly where they belong, and better yet, will help you know where to find them later.

5

Buy multi-purpose furniture that can double as storage.

So much of it exists these days, it’s a matter of simply tracking down what works best for you. There’s nothing like a couch that can store your comfy blankets inside of it, am I right?

Ivanka not only shares the knowledge and skills of organizing but also helps her clients identify what he or she values in life, through the process of organizing and decluttering. tidymoose.com
