OF AMENITIES

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: marlene.eisner@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

One of the great benefits of buying pre-sale is that you can customize your living space to suit your lifestyle before you move in.

But what if the way you do things now is not the same as it was two years ago before the pandemic hit? Perhaps you’re now working from home on a permanent basis, or you’ve decided that not seeing friends for such a long time means a lot of catching-up on entertaining.

Choosing a new home that includes thoughtful and useful amenities like work pods, entertainment lounges and even half-size volleyball and pickleball courts can make the difference between a good life and an exceptional one.

In this issue, writer Susan Boyce speaks with Murray Grant, senior vice-president with Concord Pacific. Turn to page 30 and read what he has to say about people-centric amenities and how innovation and creativity is powering new trends in some master-planned condo and townhouse developments.

Also, in these pages you will find lots of great advice on everything from what the recent rate increase from the Bank of Canada means for you to what a reverse mortgage is and if you should consider getting one.

Thanks for picking up our magazine and making us part of your home-buying journey. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

Benchmark interest rate increase and you On March 2, the Bank of Canada raised the benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage (.25 basis points) to 0.50 per cent. How does that affect prospective buyers? Patrick Francey, CEO of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), says the hike is only “a small piece of the puzzle. The uncertainty around the world, price fatigue and other variables play a bigger role in people’s decision to buy.”

Live Life WeLL

On-site amenities are thoughtfully curated to simplify and enhance your lifestyle.

On the ground level, owners will find a light-filled, state-of-the-art gym and tranquil yoga/stretching studio, bike repair and washing stations, as well as secure storage

For casual gatherings, the seventh-floor indoor lounge features a large kitchen, inviting high-top seating at the bar — perfect for watching the big game or a movie — plus an adjacent, lushly landscaped outdoor patio with barbecue and lots of seating.

And when guests come to visit — which you just know they will — there’s a self-contained guest suite for their private enjoyment.

When it’s time to celebrate or simply take some time out to enjoy life, the 12th floor amenity space is sure to become a favourite.

Ready to pursue a career in criminology, public safety or social services? It’s less than 15 minutes to the Justice Institute of BC. And for the truly bold, there’s even the Vancouver Circus School at Queens Park — how’s that for something different and exciting?

No wonder millennials rank New Westminster as the sixth most popular city in Canada.

by DiANe DuFloT

The first capital of British Columbia, New Westminster is situated on the Burrard Peninsula and comprises the area from north of the Fraser River to Tenth Avenue and the width from Marine Drive to Brunette Avenue.

Known affectionately as “The Royal City” thanks to Queen Victoria naming it after Westminster, the part of London that holds the Houses of Parliament buildings.

There is no shortage of things to do here: from strolling through streets in Queen’s Park to gaze at the cherry blossoms at the end of March, to the Hyack Festival in May, the Queen’s Park annual

New Westminster is home to all types – singles, couples, emptynesters – but young families are a rapidly growing group, and it’s no wonder why. From splash pads scattered throughout the neighbourhood, to the petting zoo at

PLANEs, TRAINs & AUTOMOBILEs

IN THE AREA

Though New West only has one public high school (New Westminster Secondary School, which has close to 2,000 students in Grades 9-12), it has eight elementary schools, and three middle schools. Community centres with activities for the young and old abound in this city, and there’s never far to walk to find a park or playground.

A fairly small suburb, New West is highly walkable, and it’s easy to find what you need in each of its neighbourhouds. This city is also accessible by public transit. Adjacent to Surrey, Burnaby, and Coquitlam, commutes to these cities are fairly swift. A bridge-free commute downtown makes it predictable, if not super fast.

From the River Market (which is home to terrific eats, a circus school, and even hosts music and baking lessons for tots) to a walk along the pier, New Westminster Quay has something for everybody.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REsT DOLLARs & sENsE

New West might be considered the poster city for the housing diversity that Vancouver politicians say the area at large needs to adopt to make room for the ever-growing population. You might find a small condo Uptown or in Sapperton or if you’re shopping for a single-family home, look to Glenbrooke North or

Buildings here reflect the rich history of the former capital, and areas are becoming increasingly gentrified, although some believe the hype that it’s only a matter of time before New West is entirely revitalized. It’s best to do some research before moving here to determine whether or not you’ll be living in a ‘hood on an upward trajectory.

BUYING PRE-SALE? IT PAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE FLOORPLAN

CAMERON MCNEILL

An efficient floorplan at Kira in West Coquitlam by Woodbridge Homes.

LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

Buying pre-sale homes can sometimes seem daunting given it is not yet built and you can’t walk through the actual home. That is why developers and home builders make significant investments into the presentation centre experience to ensure people can receive the information they need to make a buying decision.

As a prospective buyer, you may have the opportunity to view a vignette (kitchen or bathroom display) of the home or a full show home or display unit. Although you may not be being able to physically walk through your future space, being savvy about your needs and scouting a floorplan accurately will certainly help.

Floorplans can vary between neighbourhoods, with each new development catering to different homebuyers. Areas like Mt. Pleasant or Metrotown may feature smaller units to attract first-time homebuyers.

Floorplans in these developments are often open concept, with purchasers not wanting to pay for extra square footage in dead corners and hallways. Alternatively, the Westside often attracts a high number of downsizers. Efforts are taken in new developments to make the floorplan reflect their former dwelling. Larger units often feature laundry rooms, grand kitchens and foyers, amenities that are reminiscent of their previous single-family homes such as private storage units, private garages and large outdoor spaces.

parking, bike and storage facilities, and amenities.

Buying a new home sightunseen is relatively common in the Lower Mainland. Working with a knowledgeable Realtor and on-site project sales representative can ensure your questions are answered and you are clear about what you are buying.

THE BANK OF CANADA RATE INCREASE

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

On March 2, the Bank of Canada raised its overnight policy rate by a 20 New Home + Condo Guide | March 19–April 2, 2022

quarter percentage point (25 basis points), bringing it to 0.50 per cent, which was expected. While this is the first rate increase since 2018, the bank indicated that more hikes would be coming.

In a recent press release, bank officials said the major new source of uncertainly fueling the increase

was the invasion of the Ukraine by Russia, which added substantial pressure on inflation. Prices have skyrocketed for major commodities such as oil, metals, wheat and other grains. “Financial market volatility has increased,” it stated, adding that it will be keeping a close eye on the situation as it develops.

But the big question is – how will this change impact you?

HIGH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS FOR CLIENTS WHO HAVE VARIABLE OR ADJUSTABLE INTEREST RATE MORTGAGES

Since variable and adjustable-rate mortgages are determined by the prime interest rate, they are linked to the overnight policy rate set by the Bank of Canada. How this impacts you will also be dependent on individual lenders and how much they will increase their own prime interest rate. This means that a lender’s prime rate has moved up by 0.25 per cent to 2.70 per cent.

If your mortgage has a fixed interest rate, you will not see a

change on your monthly payments.

However, people who are taking a new fixed-rate mortgage or renewing their old one right now have already seen that interest rates are much higher compared to variable rates. The reason is because fixed mortgage rates are dependent on the bond market.

To put it in prospective, if you have a mortgage with a variable rate, your mortgage payments will be increasing by 0.25 per cent. This would be roughly about $12 more for every $100,000. Therefore, for a mortgage of $500,000, you will be seeing an increase in your payments of about $60 per month.

The question that might come to mind is, ‘Should I look at locking into

a fixed rate since prime went up?’ If you compare where fixed rates are right now, the prime rate will have to go up at least six more times to be at the same place. This would mean an increase of $71 for every $100,000.

UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT AND SECURED LINES OF CREDIT (HOME EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT - HELOC)

Like the variable and adjustable mortgages, these lines of credit are normally linked to the bank’s prime interest rate that is linked to the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate. This means if you are borrowing money from a line of credit, the cost of borrowing will increase. Many lenders have already increased their bank’s prime interest rate.

SAVING ACCOUNTS

With the Bank of Canada changing the overnight rate, it will affect the interest you will get from having money in a traditional savings account. There won’t be a huge change, but if you were earning some interest before, you will be earning a bit more now. Even though it has gone up, it might be worth it to explore other savings or investment options.

This is a perfect time to talk to a mortgage expert if your mortgage is coming up for renewal. If you are thinking of refinancing or looking at purchasing a new home, a mortgage expert will explore all your options based on your specific needs.

ADVICE | Q&A WITH…

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR

HOME WARRANTY

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

Buyers of new homes in B.C. are fortunate to be protected by the country’s strongest construction defect insurance.

We asked Wendy Acheson from BC Housing about some of the most important things you should know about your New Home Warranty.

New Home + Condo Guide: How does a person know if their home is covered by a home warranty?

Wendy Acheson: Start by visiting our new-homes registry

to help make more informed decisions when buying a new home. The registry is a great online resource for homebuyers, realtors, lawyers, local governments and anyone else who wants to check the status of a new home or a new home under construction.

You can search the registry for new homes using the street address and city or its legal description, and filtre your search for single-detached homes or multi-unit (including duplex) buildings. You can find out if a new home, or new home under construction, has a home warranty insurance policy and whether it was built by a licensed residential builder.

“

Before each expiry date, inspect the home to identify any problems in areas still covered by the warranty.

”

homes), and for 15 months on common property of strata buildings.

• Five years on building envelope defects (including water penetration). This covers components that separate the indoors from the outdoors, such as exterior walls, foundation, roof, windows and doors.

• Ten years on labour and materials defects that result in failure of a load-bearing part of the home, or causes structural damage.

Before each expiry date, inspect the home to identify any problems in areas still covered by the warranty.

Strata properties may have different expiry dates for their individual unit and common property.

NHCG: How long do I have to claim construction flaws?

W.A.: You should report serious defects immediately to prevent further damage. Smaller defects can be reported together but before your coverage expires. Report possible defects in writing to the warranty provider and the builder.

(For strata homes, report problems with the unit to the warranty provider and problems with the common property to the strata council and/or building manager.) Keep copies of all correspondence related to defects and claims.

NHCG: How do I know what’s covered and what isn’t?

W.A.: Not all aspects of a new home are covered by the warranty. For example, the insurance won’t cover things like normal wear and tear, insect or rodent damage, or acts of nature. Check your policy for exclusions. Did you make any improvements after taking possession of your home? Design, materials or labour supplied by the owner or someone other than the builder, their workers or subtrades may not be covered.

NHCG: How long does this insurance cover the home?

W.A.: You need to take note of, and act on, each coverage

expiry date. The home warranty insurance provided on new single-family and multi-family homes built for sale in B.C. protects against different construction defects for specific periods of time: • Two years on labour and materials for defects related to delivery and distribution systems (such as electrical or plumbing). For general materials and labour defects, coverage is for 12 months on detached homes and noncommon property in strata units (including fee-simple 22

WHAT IS A

REVERSE MORTGAGE AND SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ONE?

BEN MCCABE

As home prices continue to rise, reverse mortgages are gaining in popularity. Tens of thousands of 55-plus Canadians are now utilizing reverse mortgages for themselves and their family. Why? Because many older homeowners are realizing that they are over-invested in real estate, and they can afford to unlock a portion of that wealth to live well in retirement.

24

New Home + Condo Guide | March 19–April 2, 2022

You might have heard about this type of financial product in the past, but its new iteration makes it an ideal solution for financial flexibility in retirement. Reverse mortgages are becoming increasingly common among seniors who realize there is a tremendous amount of equity in their current home.

A reverse mortgage can do a lot – provide income in retirement, fund a new home purchase, home modifications to include a secondary suite for a caregiver or family member, accessibility renovations to age-in-place, provide the ability to purchase a second property or even provide a “living inheritance” to adult

kids to enter the property market to buy a home of their own.

How DoEs It work?

If you’re more than 55 years of age and own a home in Canada, you are likely eligible for a reverse mortgage.

A reverse mortgage allows you to access tax-free cash from the value in your home, without having to sell. Canadian seniors can access up to 55 per cent of the value of their home, while continuing to own 100 per cent and retaining control.

Unlike a traditional mortgage, a reverse mortgage requires no regular principal or interest payments.

Instead, interest is simply added to

the mortgage balance over time.

The loan becomes due when you and your spouse no longer occupy the home. wHAt CAn you usE tHE FunDs For?

Funds from a reverse mortgage loan are being used for a variety of lifestyle improvements, such as: • Boosting retirement income and overall standard of living • Home renovations • Purchasing a new home or vacation property • Paying off debts • Paying for travel or leisure experiences • Providing a living inheritance to loved ones • Financing health and live-in care expenses With many Canadians now approaching retirement, a popular use of reverse mortgages is for aging-in-place accessibility modification to ensure their home is safe for them in the future. Improving lighting, flooring and bathroom features and even elevators are just some of the features being added.

With the cost of living and inflation on the rise, financially savvy older homeowners are using reverse mortgages to fund the construction of secondary suites within their homes. These can be multi-purpose units – for extended family members, short or long-term rentals or even for a live-in caregiver. You control how much and where reverse mortgages proceeds are used.

GIVInG A Down pAymEnt to FAmIly

Many older Canadians are now taking out a reverse mortgage for what’s referred to as a living inheritance.

This is the increasingly common practice of starting the process of helping out children and grandchildren while parents and grandparents are there to see their loved ones benefit from it.

This has become a more frequent occurrence for two reasons, especially

as home prices have risen dramatically over the past several years: First, 55-plus customers, most of whom entered the housing market decades ago, have more wealth built up in their homes than they ever expected.

Second, their children and grandchildren are finding it harder to break into the housing market themselves. And the longer they must wait to try to save up for an increasingly large down payment, the harder it will be for them to have the

nexthome.ca

25

same opportunity for wealth creation their parents and grandparents had.

A reverse mortgage is an unbelievably powerful solution and allows Canadians to assist their kids without compromising their own financial situation or having to move and sell their home.

In most cases, children usually inherit home equity after their parents

have passed away, which could be two, three or four decades from now.

Alternatively, by taking even a small amount of equity out through a reverse mortgage today, and gifting that to a child or grandchild, they can use that for their down payment, add a traditional mortgage of their own, and enter the housing market today.

The best part, this entire process

can happen tax-free. Through this manoeuvre, your loved ones could be more wealthy after you pass away, than if they were just to receive their full inheritance at that time. wHAt ElsE CAn A rEVErsE mortGAGE bE usED For?

Some wealthier seniors are using a reverse mortgage loan as an investment tool for down markets, using it as an alternative source of retirement income when needed, rather than drawing down on investments at deflated values.

Financial advisors now more than ever are recommending reverse mortgages to their older clients for the financial flexibility it provides. wHErE CAn you GEt A rEVErsE mortGAGE?

There are several reverse mortgage providers in Canada. The process can take place over the phone with minimal paperwork required. Speak to your financial advisor to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you, and to read more about the ins and outs of reverse mortgages, visit bloomfin.ca/resources.

AMENITIES FOR LIFE HOW WE WORK, LIVE AND PLAY

BY SUSAN M BOYCE

Times are changing, and there’s no question the last two years have brought new focus and challenges to how we live, work and play. Home offices, even if they’re just a desk tucked into a corner, have become the norm. “Zooming” is firmly entrenched in the global vernacular, and amenities are commanding ever more attention in the competitive multi-family marketplace.

In this issue, we chat with Grant Murray, senior vice-president, sales, with Concord Pacific, about new trends and innovations in the masterplanned condos and townhouse developments we call home.

New Home + Condo Guide: Concord Pacific has always been a leader in creating innovative, people-centric amenities. What’s your philosophy about amenities?

Grant Murray: We design our amenities to help create micro communities for people with like minds. It’s about wellness — social as well as physical. We’re fortunate to be developing on a large scale at 30 New Home + Condo Guide | March 19–April 2, 2022

Concord Metrotown and Oasis at Concord Brentwood, so we have room for 70,000 and 135,000 sq. ft. that we can dedicate to a diverse range of amenities, something not many companies have the opportunity to do.

NH+CG: Entertainment lounges, usually with a kitchen attached, have been a de facto standard for years, especially for downsizers who still want to have the kids and grandkids over for family celebrations. But what are some of the new standards people are looking for in an amenities package?

GM: Two extremely popular amenities are secure bike storage rooms and pet spas.

During the pandemic, many people got a pet. Having a place where you can walk your dog and a washing/grooming area is a huge convenience.

Likewise, with more people riding bikes, you need somewhere secure to store them. Now take it up a notch with a dedicated gear room equipped with all the tools you need to maintain and repair your bike — even the tools you may only use once — as well as private bicycle storage rooms and EV plugs. Plus, there’s

the social aspect of meeting your neighbours and perhaps ending up going for a ride together. And even if you don’t know how to fix a flat, frequently another cyclist is happy to help you out. Who knows, a couple of single people could meet and end up getting married.

Neither of these features take much space, so they’re feasible even in a smaller development.

NH+CG: What about fitness facilities? How have they changed?

GM: It’s no longer just about cardio and weights. For example, most fitness centres now have spin bikes and dedicated yoga/stretching rooms.

A larger project, like the ones we usually build, will often incorporate half-courts for things like volleyball or pickleball.

We’ve also built a number of communities with private bowling alleys. Even 10 years later, the one we put in at Coopers Point in Yaletown is still booked almost every night. Again, there’s a social component because people often have gatherings and parties there.

Golf simulators and private putting greens are two innovations residents tell us they love.

At Concord Metrotown and Oasis, two of our newest communities, the 400-metre, outdoor running tracks have been a hug hit. Interestingly, one of the things people say they appreciate most is the security.

Because the tracks are located on the podium level and are private, people feel safe at any time of day even if they’re jogging alone.

NH+CG: Are there some amenities that are falling out of favour?

GM: In the new employment landscape, having one person working on a laptop in the middle of a large meeting room isn’t optimal use of space. A more efficient solution is to create four or five smaller rooms, or pods, that people can use for zoom calls and when they just want to have some privacy.

We’re also now putting Wi-Fi in the elevators to give seamless connectivity right from your suite.

It’s a subtle amenity but it means you don’t have to tell a client you’ll call back in five minutes while you go downstairs.

NH+CG: What other outsidethe-box amenities are there that enhance lifestyle?

GM: Soundproofed karaoke lounges and music rooms can be a lot of fun.

We even put in a set of drums in one of our music rooms. At Oasis, we’re adding a suntanning “beach” adjacent to the indoor swimming pool area — no need to travel to get the resort experience. And at Metrotown, we’ve built outdoor sauna barrels and work pods so you feel like you’re outside in the garden, surrounded by fresh air.

NH+CG: Any final thoughts?

GM: Having so many amenities just an elevator ride away gives you a luxury many people don’t think about — the luxury of time. You don’t have to travel to a coffee shop or the gym or rent a music studio. It’s all right there, and it’s all state-of-the-art too, which is another bonus.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

WHITE ROCK SERENITY BY THE SEA

by JANINE MACKIE

This seaside city near the BC/ Washington border has blossomed since its early days as a weekend getaway and retirement mecca.

Postcard views frame the historic pier and iconic white boulder.

Surrounded by Surrey on three sides, White Rock’s boundaries are Bergstrom Rd. (136 St.) west, North Bluff Rd. (16 St.) north, Stayte Rd. (160 St.) east, and Marine Dr. south.

LIFESTYLE

Sunsets and seaside views; two scoops of gelato; fish and chip dinners 34

New Home + Condo Guide | March 19–April 2, 2022

serenaded by a symphony of seagulls — simply put, White Rock is living the beach life with a dash of prestige.

Many locals grew up vacationing here and stayed to raise their own families.

It’s a close-knit, small town vibe.

People shop local, stop to chat on the oceanfront promenade and love annual events like the Sea Festival.

THE VIBE

Truth be told, White Rock was once nicknamed “the town of newlyweds and nearly dead.” While its mild sunny climate continues to attract

active retirees, its upmarket real estate has priced out most young people. Seniors on scooters claim the sidewalks, while SUVs take to the roads transporting kids to their math tutors and hockey practices.

IN THE AREA

Whether tennis, curling, soccer, hockey or lawn bowling is your game, you’re covered at Centennial Park and Arena on North Bluff Rd. White Rock’s best secret? The ravine behind the Leisure Centre — nature’s own Stairmaster! Two

HOT SPOTS

WHITE ROCK BEACH, PIER AND PROMENADE Fly kites, build sandcastles or wave at the passing trains. The promenade spans from the paddle board rentals at East Beach to the souvenir shops and restaurants at West Beach.

BEAN AROUND THE WORLD Enjoy the panoramic views from the corner of Johnston and Thrift. This newbie serves a yummy iced caffe Americano. Love the building architecture too — best low-rise building of 2014.

elementary schools, White Rock Elementary (fine arts program) and Peace Arch Elementary (French immersion) are in SD 36. Peace Arch Hospital is located Uptown.

DOLLARS AND SENSE

Expect to pay more for everything from coffee to dry cleaning. That said, White Rock is a treasure trove of thrift shops, including World Serve on Johnston and Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary on Prospect — often selling contents of local estates.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Getting around is as easy as hopping on the bus, calling a taxi or navigating your own wheels — as long as it’s not a skateboard...they’re outlawed

in White Rock! TransLink operates community buses (C50 Ocean Park/Peace Arch Hospital and C52 Seaside) and Express Routes to downtown Surrey and Vancouver.

Transit Exchange is at intersection of Johnston and North Bluff Rd. THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

“More sunshine and less rain,” means more days for kayaking, pier jumping or scaling the legendary white rock (glacier deposit) that sits on the 5-km stretch of sandy beach. Locals appreciate the small-town feel, spectacular sunsets and accessibility to neighbouring Ocean Park. What’s not to love? Perhaps the beach traffic along Marine Dr. on a sunny Sunday afternoon and high property taxes.

SEMIAHMOO SHOPPING CENTRE At the hub of 152 St. and 16 Ave., this mall is technically in Surrey, but meets the residents’ essential needs — groceries, banks, restaurants, dentists and variety of shops.

SPRING

USHER IN THE NEW SEASON WITH FLORAL ACCENTS AND FRESH PATTERNS

by LISA ROGERS

Spring is a gorgeous season, not only because the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, but the feeling of optimism it brings is hard to beat.

And while we tend to focus a lot of our attention on spring cleaning this time of year, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to refresh your space with some simple, stunning decor ideas that can bring life back to your home. Follow these suggestions to bring the season into your own space.

REPAINT YOUR BOOKCASES

Bring life back to your built-in bookcase by painting it a fresh spring 38

colour. I love the idea of a soft pastel – think mint or pink – and then play with your accents by adding topiaries or little pots of fresh flowers scattered across the shelves. If that still feels like too much of a commitment, I do love the idea of colour-coordinating your books – it still looks fabulous and curated.

BRING IN SOME PAMPAS GRASS

Pampas grass is very popular right now, and I love how it exudes a relaxed, bohemian look that can fit into any modern or neutral colour palette in your home. Because it’s

a dried floral, it will stand the test of time, so it’s a great investment with zero maintenance. These work anywhere, and depending on which ones you go with, you can place them in any size vase for any room.

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DOORWAY

As with your bookshelves, why not try a similar treatment on your door or even just the frame? It’s the easiest upgrade that packs a beautiful punch, and raises your home’s curb appeal in the process. A couple of hours and your favourite spring-inspired shade, and you will have completed a project

that lightens up your home and makes an impact.

SWITCH YOUR BEDDING

Swap your cotton or heavier fabric bedding for the pleasure of soft linens. With warmer weather approaching, you want linens that feel light to the touch and don’t (literally) weigh you down. There are so many colour options to choose from, but I love to stay neutral with slate grey, sand or cream tones.

PLAY WITH FLORAL WALLPAPER

Nothing harkens spring more than this season’s crop of floral wallpaper.

Depending on your style, you can go big and bold with large patterns and blooms or you can stay understated with less imposing prints. I love floral wallpaper functioning as an accent wall in a powder room or the bedroom. Complement the paper by finding soft furnishings and accessories that bring some of the featured colours into the space.

TRY CITRUS CENTREPIECES

Build your own seasonal centrepiece with a quick trip to the grocers: Buy a bunch of tangerines, lemons or limes and fill a clear glass vase to place in the centre of your dining table. It immediately feels like spring has arrived and reminds me of dining al fresco.

DECORATING WITH WOOD TIPS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR SPACE USING ONE OF NATURE’S GREATEST GIFTS

by LINDA MAZUR

There’s something about wood that makes it so appealing. It’s warm, inviting and lends itself to any decor style. Wood has personality and character; and decorating with a variety of wood finishes has a way of adding a certain richness to a space.

The organic movement of some grains can often have an art-like influence in a room, reaching well beyond its traditional usages.

From simple accessories, to lighting, beautiful contemporary bathroom faucets, wall and ceiling cladding, furniture, kitchen accents and more, incorporating wood in your home, outside of flooring, is only limited by your creativity. As a designer, I love the versatile nature of wood, and how its nearly endless array of colours and grain options can complement, and sometimes even dictate the style within a space.

Whether you’re more in line with a light, airy and modern vibe, or love the rich, dark more formal woods, I’m sure you can agree that adding wood accents to your home creates depth in your design. However, working with wood is not just about simply incorporating it in your decor or using it creatively, it’s also about mixing wood tones to create a more stylish and elevated space.

When looking to mix and match your woods, the approach is no different than when you blend anything else, such as colour, textures 42

or styles. It’s all about creating continuity – a story, of sorts. You need to pay attention to key details such as grain, undertones, and finish to successfully blend your woods, as well as the overall style of the space and how the placement, usage and proportion of your wood accents balance within the room.

Another great way of mixing multiple wood tones can be by introducing contrasting colours. For example, a room with several shades of warm-toned woods can be pulled together and punctuated with a high-contrasting wood stained in a dark, almost black finish. This can complete the space by adding more depth to the design, while adding visual interest. Once you put together the palette that works for you, then all you really need to do is ensure you repeat the shades, at least two times, throughout to maintain continuity and structure within your space; this will make your room look well “pulledtogether” without a lot of effort.

Mixing wood tones and decorating with wood, in general, is not as difficult as you may think – you’re creating a truly lovely and stylish space. Whether you decide to keep it simple by incorporating a few wood accessories, or perhaps barstools, or are a little more adventurous and you’re looking to create more drama in your space with a beautiful walnut grain wall panelling, the addition of

wood elements will undoubtedly create a totally chic space for you.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind: • If you can, keep your tones consistent when mixing wood. Work in all warm, cool or neutral tones.

• Select one principal wood tone and one or two secondary wood tones when blending. The principal wood tone is usually the one that will occupy the most space, for example, flooring, wall feature or dining table.

• If there is a drastic difference between your floor colour and other furniture tones, the introduction of a patterned rug can help them to blend better together.

• Don’t place similar tones of wood close to each other – it’s all about balance, consistency and harmony. Placement and moderation are key.

Remember, ultimately, decorating with wood and mixing different types or tones is great and encouraged, but it’s only a part of the overall design of the space. Colour, texture and pattern all still play an important role.
