make the most of your balCony Create Comfort

Jane herman

Whether your balcony is a sundrenched southern exposure or a secluded shady nook, it’s your own window onto the world below. Here are some ideas for enjoying your outside space.

Use yoUr imagination

Why not enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony before you go to work? A cold supper picnic outside with friends could add tranquil pleasure to the daily dinner ritual.

A couple of inexpensive but comfortable lounge chairs, a small side table and an umbrella are sufficient to get started. You could add a waterproof rug, throw pillows, attractive containers, hanging baskets, even a bird feeder. an Urban garden

Container-grown flowers, vegetables, and herbs support biodiversity by attracting pollinators such as butterflies and bees, adding to the oxygen in the air. You can successfully grow tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and other small vegetables in containers on your balcony, along with lettuces and herbs. Make sure you have adequate

sun before setting out edible plants, otherwise, stick to shadeloving flowers. banish ClUtter

Store bicycles in your building’s bike racks in the garage along with your snow tires. Buy a large plastic cupboard to conceal luggage, golf clubs, skis or children’s toys.

Make your balcony your own personal retreat. The potential is yours to discover.

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

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:

outdoor living trends

by BILHA KANGETHE

I

f we had to choose one word to describe outdoor living post-pandemic, it would be “reawakening.” During the last two years, our balconies and patios have shifted from sporadic weekend barbecues, parties and warm-weather grilling, to invaluable real estate that can function as an extension of our indoor spaces.

In line with that “reawakening,” the production of furniture, decor and accessories has evolved to cater to this expanded functionality.

Trends for summer 2022 are focused on all-year-round entertainment, durability, ultracomfort and styles geared to giving a nod to the ultimate outdoor getaway, while bringing all our indoor luxuries to our balconies and patios.

Petaluma LANTERNS. crateandbarrel.ca

LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT Lanterns are our favourite go-to accessory when styling outdoors.

Constructed from everything from rattan to ceramic and modern porcelain finishes, lanterns are now available in multiple sizes and silhouettes for all styles. Set the tone to your evenings with these lovely pieces, and watch the sun go down in style and elegance.

GLAM IT UP Accessories and decor are taking centre stage and adding the glam we need to take our entertaining experience to a new level. Mimicking finely crafted ceramics, refined woodgrain patterns, ceramic glazed finishes and joyful pops of colour that are fun to mix and match, melamine dishes and carefully crafted acrylic glassware are serving it up outdoors so we can get excited for all our cocktail parties, and achieve an elevated barbecue experience.

Indoor/outdoor area rugs hand-loomed in a polyester fibre are great for durability and infused with fade-resistant properties. Geometric, minimal and neutral, a luxe boho vibe or graphic coastal stripes, they cater to our styling needs.

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.

hether you’re new to working from home or have done it since the beginning of the pandemic, a home office has become a necessity for people just like you.

Your office could currently be in your spare bedroom or in a small corner of your apartment; it doesn’t matter if you have a designated area or you are working on the kitchen table, now is an ideal time to update your space.

At this year’s National Home Show: The Big One, you will find inspiration for your home office and other renovation and spacesaving needs.

“With the new normal of parents working from home, and online school for students, the home office needs an upgrade,” says Denise Hayward, show director for the National Home Show: The Big One. “You may think you don’t have the space for a home office – but think again!”

To help you get inspired, here are some tips to help you create a workable home office, even in the tightest of spaces.

The right location The ideal home office is one that is in a space where you won’t be distracted. Privacy is vital if you find yourself at home all day with your family. The right location is key, as is making sure your office has a door. Shutting out distractions and shutting in work 38

Renters Guide | June 17–July 1, 2022

by Brody roBinson

allows you the needed disconnect between work and life. Each can be enjoyed, but make sure to keep them separate.

The right lighting When it comes to a home office, the right light is crucial. Natural light is the best – many famous authors try to situate themselves near a window to use natural light, encouraging creativity and increasing productivity.

With the pandemic keeping so many of us indoors, try to let in some natural light and take in the outdoors while you work.

Ergonomic-friendly furniture Whether it’s the kind of chair you buy, the height of your desk, or your computer setup, your home office should have ergonomic components. If a home office is becoming your new normal, don’t be afraid to splurge. Your back will thank you for it!

Crafty and convertible Make the most of a tight situation by using convertible furniture and decor. Your space can be esthetically pleasing and great for extra storage. Create an area that’s transformable enough to use for both work and everyday life, making it fit your needs. Get creative with desks that fold into walls, modular shelving or seats that function as storage boxes for a multi-purpose and multifunctional space.

Make it your own Your home office is still your office and should represent you.

Choose a colour scheme that matches your overall esthetic and you will look forward to sitting at your desk every day. Add those plants that bring some nature in or an animal print to spice up your space. This is your home office – make it your own with whatever makes you happy!

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?

50

Renters Guide | June 17–July 1, 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.

founder of Tidy Moose, Ivanka Siolkowsky shares her top tips for getting

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

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

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 all have them), it takes only 15 minutes to put everything back where it belongs and return order in my home.

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!

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!

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

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
