LUXURY, URBAN LIVING AT 300 ASSINIBOINE The breathtaking views from this grand gathering place will astonish and welcome you. The highrise building at 300 Assiniboine is a flagship for modern urban living, moored right along the Assiniboine River near the Forks, bordered by the river trail and Bonnycastle Park.

Reside in the heart of Winnipeg, still surrounded by greenspace and within walking distance to major shopping centres, transportation and attractions like museums, fine dining and nightlife. The Forks Market, the internationally known Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the historic Exchange District are all within reach, and 300 Assiniboine is a short distance to most downtown venues. The Assiniboine Riverwalk weaves with the waves right at the foot of the building. Travel back in time with the Oodena Celebration Circle, visit the urban garden, or take a water bus; the best of Winnipeg is right outside the door.

Anyone seeking to experience open-concept, luxury living will be impressed by all the building 16

Renters Guide | Feb. 11–25, 2022

amenities, such as a fitness room for workouts around your schedule, a community room for group activities and festive occasions, furnished guest suites to accommodate visitors and premium underground parking.

Three centrally located elevators will efficiently move you to your destination, and extra storage lockers are available for out-ofseason belongings. For added security, the entrance next to the atrium in the main floor lobby has a security guard, and there is a 24hour interactive security system in place. For any other emergencies, a resident manager also resides on site.

Suites in this 25-storey building are available in one- and twobedroom designs, with or without a den. There are also townhouse layouts on the main level with separate access off Assiniboine Avenue. Each unit features its own in-suite laundry, plenty of storage, forced-air heating and cooling, and a spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. The

modern sleek designs are airy and light, with floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of sweeping river and city views. Tower unit sizes range between 932 and 2,088 sq. ft., offering many layout options to suit your family size. The townhouses are extremely comfortable, some encompassing two levels, with between 1,625 and 1,644 sq. ft. of space. Along with high-speed internet service and interactive security, suites also offer either a balcony or private terrace to take in the surrounding landscape and ambiance of the city. Imagine the refuge offered in the middle of a busy city, yet still accessible to all the necessities for work and play.

This bright beacon of light towers above the treeline like an emerald elm among prairie grass.

And like the luxury it represents, 300 Assiniboine is a home where community and career can come together, where paths and points of light converge; a place to be present at the top of the trees and observe all that is. 300 Assiniboine, a place for living.

Introducing

Pantone’s 2022

Colour of the Year

by SALINA YARA HALABI

C “

ourageous, empowering, imaginative, futuristic…” are just some of the words Pantone® has used to describe its 2022 Colour of the Year - Very Peri (17-3938). Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute™ has provided insight on a key colour that is set to be prominent in the year ahead. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute explains that “The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer.” Through extensive research and review of various factors (including new artists, fashion, popular travel destinations, and socioeconomic conditions), the Pantone team presents a colour that influences multiple industries – home furnishings being one of them.

2022 marks the first time an entirely new colour was created for the Colour of the Year, highlighting the importance of innovation and the need to adapt to our changing world. The periwinkle blue hue features a violet red undertone, adding a modern yet whimsical aesthetic when applied. It’s welcoming, exciting and can definitely add some dynamic flair to your home interior. Feeling inspired? Add a dash of this periwinkle hue to your home with finds like these:

ADVICE | RENTAL PRO

RENTING VERSUS OWNING FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER ANNE MARSHALL

Here are five good reasons why renting is preferable to owning.

1. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

Shovelling snow, raking autumn leaves, mowing the lawn – outdoor tasks are your landlord, superintendent or management company’s responsibility, unless your lease dictates otherwise.

2. FIXTURE REPAIR. If your

shower stops running properly, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to call and pay for a plumber.

5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating

3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES.

Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping.

4. CHEAPER INSURANCE.

Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents.

When you get your renters’ insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home.

(or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the apartments around you.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

MOVING ETIQUETTE CHUCK RESNICK

Whether you are moving into or out of a new space, there are certain things to do to make things go as smoothly as possible.

Think of the following tips as ‘moving etiquette’.

• Let your neighbours at both ends know when to expect the movers to pull into your place.

Ensure the movers park and unload to avoid blocking anyone else’s driveway or trespassing on other property.

• If you are booking a residential move, try and select 9 or 10 a.m. for your truck to arrive since people who work 9-to-5 are not home. You are less likely to cause them any inconvenience.

• Book elevators in advance in the building you are leaving and the one you will be moving into so you have the benefit of arranging your time comfortably. Check to see if movers are restricted to using specific doors.

• Have your pets cared for elsewhere.

Moving means doors will be open for long periods, and animals wandering about can be dangerous for them and for the movers.

• Most people wonder whether to tip movers. It is not compulsory, so it is totally up to you.

• Most moving companies are good about removing packing materials, crates, boxes, etc. when they leave. If anything is left behind, collect it yourself and dispose of it.

• As items are moved out of rooms, sweep, mop and clean what you can. Some people hire cleaners before giving the key to the landlord or new owners.

To bring a true feeling of nature into any room, look for ways to bring organic touches into your space. “Simple arrangements of greens can be a striking and stylish way to add colour,” suggests Grech. “As a bonus, greens can be a much more affordable alternative to traditional bouquets that focus on blooms.” When you’re furnishing a space inspired by the outdoors, choose materials that evoke nature like wood, wicker and rattan.

ADVICE | RENTAL TIpS

what to look for in a rental Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.

THE RENTAL UNIT

• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?

• Where is the closest bus stop?

• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness) • Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?

• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?

• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?

• Are there laundry facilities?

Is there a schedule for use?

Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?

• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?

FINANCES

• How much is the rent?

• Is a security deposit required?

What is the amount?

• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?

• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?

• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?

32

Renters Guide | Feb. 11–25, 2022

• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?

AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.

• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?

• How will costs be shared and bills paid?

• How will problems be resolved?

QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?

• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late?

Ask for receipts for any payments.

• Who do you contact if there is a problem?

• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?

• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?

• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?

• Is smoking allowed?

• How long can guests stay?

• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?

• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?

• When will the inspection report be done.

It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

design with an expert

WhyThesize matters: ImporTance of scale INSPIRATION |

by Trisha isabey • photos Trevor Cooper

I

n my professional opinion, a well-designed home must meet two key criteria: the home (and everything in it) must be practical and aesthetically pleasing.

These are two areas that I focus on when kicking off a new design project for my clients. Now, you might be thinking, “Just two criteria?” Don’t be fooled by your perceived simplicity of a number. A lot of planning goes into achieving fashion and function. One of them is scale.

The rules of scale apply to everything in the space, in relation to the space itself. Furniture, light fixtures, art and accessories all have to work within the proportions of a room to achieve

36

Renters Guide | Feb. 11–25, 2022

the perfect fit. When everything is scaled to the space, your home will feel like a well-tailored suit.

Pieces that are too large or too small can create visual awkwardness and physical inefficiencies. Here are three common victims of measuring missteps.

Area Rugs

Area rugs don’t get the attention they deserve, and they’re certainly not a first focus for measureminded folks. Big mistake! Area rugs are important because they define “zones” and anchor everything in them.

Oftentimes people will look at their space, complete with

furniture in place, and “estimate” the size of their rug requirements based on the empty area between the furnishings. The result is an ill-fitting rug that floats aimlessly between the sofa and chairs.

When choosing the rightsized rug, the furnishings of your zone–be it a conversation area in the living room or a small reading nook in the bedroom–should be large enough to accommodate at least the front legs of the furniture of that “zone.” For example, in the sitting area this might include a sofa and some chairs, a coffee table, a side table and maybe an ottoman. Ensure the rug isn’t butting up against the walls, leaving a gap or a few inches to create a border.

tip

Have you heard of “tablescaping?” Try arranging accessories and collections in odd numbers–threes, fives or sevens.

Place the tallest piece at the centre and work your way out.

Light Fixtures

Light fixtures are often measured incorrectly, in more ways than one. When choosing a light fixture, ensure it is not too small.

Remember, lighting should be a focal point, so choose something that stands out, both in terms of style and scale. Like area rugs, light fixtures help to define a living area, enhance a room’s function, and highlight its focal points. Choosing an appropriately sized fixture brings balance to the room–and yes, there’s simple a formula for that! Measure the length and width of the room in feet, add the two numbers and the result, expressed in inches, is the ideal size of your light fixture. For example, a room that is 10 ft. wide by 20 ft. long would be best

suited to a fixture that measures 30 inches in diameter. If you’re choosing a fixture to hang over a table, measure the table in inches and subtract 12, which gives you the ideal diameter for your chandelier or pendant.

The second scale slip-up occurs when determining the height of suspension. As a general rule, the fixture should hang three ft. above a tabletop or six ft. from the floor.

Decor

Last but not least, art and accessories are often over- or underestimated, leaving them looking inadequate and ineffectual.

In an effort to achieve a clean and uncluttered space, people often “go small” when it comes to their decor.

The result is decor that falls short on size and visual effect. The secret to success is to be selective in your decor. Limit the number of pieces and ensure they’re big enough to make an impression.

Buyer Beware

When visiting a furniture showroom, be mindful that these spaces typically have high ceilings and vast floor area can be deceiving, so don’t trust yourself to “just eyeball it.”

Advanced planning is essential, and a tape measure your best friend.

Sketch out the room, making note of room dimensions, ceiling height, doorways, windows, focal points, and paths of traffic. While you’re at it, be sure to measure hallways, doorways, and elevators to ensure your furniture will fit through when it is delivered.

Then, get some tape and delineate where your furniture will be placed and how big each piece should realistically be. Then, shop with measurements in hand.

Work with a professional designer to ensure all your selections “measure up” in every regard. When it comes to your home, make no compromises.

Do you really nEEd rEntErs’ InsuranCE? of the contents in your unit in the case of a fire.

If someone gets hurt In your home:

Know what’s what when it comes to your landlord’s insurance versus your own.

If a fIre burns down your buIldIng: Property insurance: Your landlord’s

property insurance would pay for the demolition of the building (if necessary), as well the expenses to repair or rebuild it. Their insurance would not cover your personal belongings.

Versus Renters’ insurance: In most cases, renters’ insurance would cover all

Property insurance: If someone slips on a spill and is hurt in your home, your landlord’s insurance would not help if that person decided to sue you.

Versus Renters’ insurance: If you had liability coverage included in your renters’ insurance, it would protect you financially if you unintentionally caused bodily harm to someone in your home.

If someone breaks In and steals your stuff:

to the contents of your unit.

Without renters’ insurance, you’d be on the hook for replacing everything in this situation.

Versus Renters’ insurance: In most cases, your renters’ insurance policy covers your possessions and personal property if your apartment gets broken into.

Take a look around your place.

Isn’t it all worth paying a small monthly fee to protect?

ChIldproofIng challenges

by Kim carlton Having a baby is an exciting, but a nerve-wracking experience. Here are some strategies to help you keep your home safe and sound.

• Don’t use toys or pillows in the crib, especially with young babies — your baby could suffocate.

Never use an electric blanket for a child (could cause a fire).

• Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub. Drowning can occur in seconds, and mere inches of water pose a risk.

• Make sure your bathtub has a non-skid mat or pads to avoid slips. You can use a baby tub inside the bathtub — one with baby slings are especially helpful with infants.

• Lock up all medications, alcoholic beverages, chemicals and cleaning products. Make sure matches and lighters are out

• Make sure your electrical outlets are covered. There are many kinds of outlet covers – choose the one that is right for you.

• Confirm that you have reliable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure that the batteries are working.

• Use doorknob covers on doors to non-childproofed areas (like the bathrooms and laundry room). Baby gates are also an effective solution for keeping kids in or out of a room.

of reach. Use cabinet locks to secure these items.

• Make sure cords for blinds are not tied together at the bottom (this is a strangulation hazard).

• Make sure knives and sharp items are in an area where kids can’t access them.

• Check toys for broken parts/ bits that are a choking hazard or sharp. Keep small toys for older children (like figurines, game board pieces and small building blocks) away from your baby.

SENSE OF PEACE HOW TO CREATE A

IN YOUR HOME FOR 2022

by LISA ROGERS

More and more evidence suggests that our homes directly influence our moods, overall health and well-being, and this couldn’t be more accurate than in this “new normal” we continue to adapt to this new year.

Our homes are our sanctuaries, refuges and our way to escape the chaotic world around us, and it’s essential we create spaces that feel peaceful and harmonious.

Is it any surprise that in 2022 – our third year in a global pandemic — interior trends are slanting towards ways to make us feel less pressured and more emotionally relaxed? Here are some of my 56

Renters Guide | Feb. 11–25, 2022

favourite interior design trends for 2022 that focus on calm.

Think of anything that feels warm and cosy, such as natureinspired surfaces (marble, stoneware and terracotta), accents such as cashmere throws and oversized pillows, vintage bulbs in your lighting fixtures, or incorporating shades of brown (chocolate, camels and caramels) into your soft furnishings, a kitchen backsplash or decorative accessories. Stay close to hues you would find in nature to create an environment that feels soothing and mimics the calming effect of the outdoors.

CREATE A MEDITATION NOOK

When it comes to maintaining a healthy sense of self, more and more people are going for an inside-out approach. A big part of that is incorporating meditation and mindfulness practice into their daily routines.

Pre-pandemic, we may have looked at taking time out of our busy days to meditate as a luxury.

Now it’s become a necessity: We need an outlet to relieve stress and develop coping mechanisms that preserve our mental health during one of the most trying times we have been through.

You can transform any room in your home into a peaceful mediation nook: Find a comfortable corner (ideally, near a window) and create a cosy sanctuary with soft floor pillows, a small carpet and a comfortable bench for sitting. Whether you meditate for three minutes or 30, carve out time in your day to focus on yourself outside of your daily distractions. Meditation works wonders in keeping us in the moment, and it can be effective in reducing our heart rates, cortisol levels and anxiety.

CREATIVE WORK-FROMHOME SOLUTIONS

Home offices are a must these days, and I don’t see this need dying down anytime soon. With many people working from home

and possibly having the option to continue once this pandemic is over, we will need to be more creative with designing our spaces to accommodate our working from home lives.

Many open-plan kitchens will reconfigure into alternative workspaces with shelves, spacesaving features and maximized corners. Kitchen nooks are the new workspace: They can work double duty as a workspace instead of the living room.

CURVED FURNITURE

Curved furniture is massive for 2022, and as we continue to shift away from cold minimalism towards cosier interiors, our furniture is also moving towards softer and curvier lines.

Organically-shaped furniture (no hard edges!) and round-edged

pieces will dominate, giving comfort and calm.

SUSTAINABLE PIECES

People have begun to shop more sustainably, and I don’t expect that to end anytime soon. Vintage is such a strong storyteller, and it has the power to create a beautiful narrative in any room. Still, aside from the inherent intrigue and history in antique furniture and pieces, vintage also supports sustainability, which we should all commit to in an even more significant way this new year.

Whether you commit to shopping locally or buy responsibly-sourced items, people are keen to stay Green as much as they can. By repurposing old, reworked or antique pieces, we reduce our footprint and create a warm environment.
