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 18

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.

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.

Summer art deco:

salina’s corner

the miami beach decor edit

O

by SALINA YARA HALABI

cean views, vibrant culture, and striking design details are just a few of the reasons why Miami Beach continues to top travellers’ must-visit lists.

Known for its unique Art Deco architecture, it’s certainly easy to get swept into a daydream when scrolling through images of this iconic destination. If you can’t make the trip, you’re in luck – patio season has arrived, and our homes are the perfect canvas for a summer decor revamp that’s inspired by the gorgeous sights and rich history of this eclectic beach city.

Adding a dash of Miami Beach style to any space will instantly bring a cool summertime mood to your home. Where this look adds an extra punch of excitement is when it’s applied to a patio or in transitional spaces that lead to the outdoors. Why you’ll love this design trend? It effortlessly delivers a beachy aesthetic with modern and upscale vibes for a truly unique visual experience. The result is bright, fun, and oh-so-sophisticated.

Create this summer-style edit by exploring geometric designs and gilded details that combine with natural textures for an unexpected, yet comfortable, feel. Add eyecatching furniture with strong silhouettes to your space and bring in accessories that give a perfect pop of colour (hello, pink!). It’s a look that’s smart, playful, and pulls from nature with energetic tones and fabulous prints. Fruity cocktails and neon signs are optional – but highly recommended.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

ST. BONIFACE A BIT OF FRENCH CULTURE AND HISTORY

DAWN PETER

Saint Boniface runs north as far as Mission Street following the Red River west along Tache Avenue and later Lyndale Drive. A large area with francophone residents, Saint Boniface extends east past Archibald Street to Plessis Road, reaching the Perimeter Highway.

The vibe in St. Boniface is clearly French-Canadian. From the Forks, it careens like canoe-carrying voyageurs to the next creek. Whether you’re in surgery at St. Boniface hospital or serving Sleeman’s at the Marion Hotel, you’re part of the living canvas here in the Montreal of the Metis.

Former residents counted French as their first language, but now most are more diverse and Englishspeaking. They may not look as rugged as the prairie pioneers of old but they celebrate this French catholic heritage just the same.

how to pare down your stuff hellen Buttigieg The closets are full. Do you really need to create more storage space or do you need to pare down your stuff?

Top seven excuses for holding on To cloThing we don’T wear 1 It will come back in style.

Yes, it will, but the fabric and cut will be slightly different and everyone will be able to tell you have been holding on to it since 1978!

2 It will fit once I lose weight.

You may lose weight in

different places and it may still not fit. It may go out of style by the time you lose the weight.

Reward yourself by buying new clothes instead of wearing your old things.

3 I paid a lot of money for it. And it makes you feel guilty every time you look into your closet and see it hanging there, so let go of the reminder, and the shame.

4 I wore it on my first date, the day I got promoted, etc. Don’t let sentimental items take up valuable space in your closet.

Take a picture and let it go or keep it and store it elsewhere.

5 Someone bought it for me.

They’ll never know, and even if they find out, they’ll understand.

6 It needs repairs. Put a deadline

on it to do the repairs and let it go if you miss the deadline.

7 I need it just in case. This is probably the top excuse I hear, and it is based on fear. Be brave – unless you can find a specific reason to hold on to something, find the courage to let it go.

6 INTERIOR DESIGN

MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID

by LiSa ROgeRS When it comes to interior design, there aren’t any rules, per se, but there are a few suggestions that homeowners can take into account when designing or redesigning their homes. Interestingly, when we’re online, we’re bombarded with many trends and “must-have” decor that we’re being told to try in our spaces. Yet, we’re rarely given as much intel on what design, decor and decorations to avoid in return.

Design errors can be expensive, so I’ve broken down some of the most common design mistakes I’ve seen (or heard of) in my career, and how you can avoid them in your interior designs.

34 Renters Guide | June 3–17, 2022

ALWAYS MEASURE A ROOM

This is a cardinal rule, because it forces us not to make design decisions too spontaneously (such as buying furniture that is either too big or small for a room). Before making a purchase, I implore you to gather the dimensions of each piece first. Never rely on your eye to measure a space (it seldom works). Measure every nook and cranny in a room, and map out your area (patiently) before committing to anything.

TOO MUCH FURNITURE

Just having the space does not mean you need to fill it

up with furniture. It makes a room feel cluttered, but it can be impractical, too. Filling a room with an overabundance of furniture, as well as accessories, can make the space feel much smaller and less functional.

Easy tip: Take stock of a room you use most often in your home – such as a living room – and question which pieces you use and those that don’t serve a purpose beyond aesthetic appeal.

Sell or donate any pieces that seem redundant. You want the space to be comfortable and spacious, and that requires, well, space. Too much furniture has the opposite effect.

CHOOSING THE WRONG RUG SIZE

I love the transformational nature of rugs. They can create interest and beauty, and there are so many price points available that you can find the right price for you. It can be tricky knowing the right size of rug for your space. There are some general fail-safe rules I’ve followed for years, and it’s this: Living rooms almost always need a carpet that’s either eight by 10 ft. or nine by 12. Anything smaller looks awkward and out of place.

A rug should be big enough to fit (at least) two chairs or couch legs on it. Alternatively, you can go smaller in functional spaces, such as a kitchen, providing it serves the right purpose. A small rug under bar stools creates a more inviting space to sit.

NEVER FORGET LIGHTING

It’s surprising how little homeowners invest in thinking about lighting, and it’s one of the essential functions in a space, providing ambiance and overall comfort. My advice? Don’t opt for a singular light in one room and think you’re done – it’s jarring when light is washed over you from overhead.

It’s unflattering and can give the feel of an interrogation room at times. Instead, try to layer your lighting. This means you decide on your central lighting – for your kitchen worktops, mirrors in your bathrooms, or light above your dining table. Then the idea is that you build around that with smaller lighting options, which sets the right vibe and creates ambiance.

The possibilities are endless – table lamps, string lights, small pendants, anything that will highlight the areas in the room that may require some warmth.

And never forget candles. They’re the most affordable and romantic way to set the mood.

TAKE TRENDS LESS SERIOUSLY

We’re bombarded online and via social platforms with season after season of design and decor trends such as palm prints and wicker furniture. It’s easy to get caught up in the fray, and incorporate some of those fun and unique looks into our own homes.

Remember – trends are fleeting, and you don’t want to drain your budget with items that won’t stand the test of time.

Never make a design decision flippantly. I always tell people

that they need to live in their space before making big purchasing decisions, whether it’s a couch, bed or dining room table. You need to exist in your space to get a sense of how you live in it, and then you can decide what pieces fit your lifestyle and design aesthetic the best. If you still feel the pull of a trend like the most recent rattan craze, try it out in home furnishings. I love a rattan lighting fixture mixed in with a more modern, minimalist design.

INVEST IN QUALITY FURNITURE

One important rule to remember – quality outweighs quantity.

While it’s a challenge to live with less furniture, investing in highquality pieces means they could potentially last a lifetime and, more significantly, they won’t go out of style. Take your time and shop with a critical eye.

Buy the highest quality you can afford, and if you can’t at that exact moment, create a budget plan that means you can for the future. It may take six months to get that beautiful, oversized velvet couch you’ve been eyeing, but it’s surely worth the wait once you have it.

PATTERN PLAY MIXING PATTERNS LIKE A PRO

by LINdA MAzuR

Spring is here, and with it traditionally comes a new array of wonderfully stylish inspiring fabrics bursting with colours, textures and some of the most incredible patterns.

As a designer, I look forward to the start of a new project. I enjoy pouring over fabric books gathering ideas and direction, and have been known to design an entire space from the inspiration of just one fabric. Fabric is tactile, and as such, the feel of lush 42 Renters Guide | June 3–17, 2022

velvets, the beauty of some richly woven silks and the simplicity and texture of coarsely woven linen accompanied by rich, saturated colours is enough to inspire anyone to decorate. However, the question is: With all these fabrics and patterns to select from, how do you know what works together to achieve that “designer look” in your home?

To successfully mix patterns in your space, remember to vary the scale of the patterns from small

to large, as well as to maintain the same depth or magnitude of colour. By that, I mean if you’re working with primary colours, try not to incorporate fabrics that are pastels, as you will inevitably create an imbalance. Generally, if you start with blending a minimum of three fabric patterns, you shouldn’t have any problems.

The first pattern selection should be your most impactful one, so choose carefully and select a pattern that is larger scaled. The second pattern should be completely different, about half the scale of the first one and have some of the same colours incorporated throughout. For the third selection, it can be smaller scale and similar in pattern to either of the first two, with at least two to three of the same colours.

For example, if you have selected a large scale floral as your first pattern, the second could be a bold stripe or a geometric fretwork pattern, and then blend in another small scale floral for the third, or an alternative smaller geometric.

Consider adding another pattern or two, or three, if you wish; maybe a small check, a dot is always favourable, or something in a solid small scale texture. If you’re more adventurous, consider throwing an animal print into the mix for a bit of fun.

When combining and layering patterns, it’s important to balance them throughout your space. The last thing you want is to create a situation where the heavier weight of patterns are all at one end of the room. They should be well proportioned with solids and any other visible patterns in your room, such as area rugs, wall coverings and fireplace surrounds, to provide equilibrium and an aesthetically pleasing look. Also, when pairing up your choices, it’s important to consider the “feel” of the fabrics you are selecting. Are they formal or more casual?

Dabbling in pattern blending can be fun, and fabrics can make a bold statement in your home.

Mixing fabrics like a pro is all about balance, layering and blending.

When it’s done well, contrasting patterns and textures can elevate your space beyond the typical to a fresh, innovative and welcoming home. Toiles, stripes, florals, ikats and jacquards… there are so many

different patterns, scales and colours that can be beautifully blended to complement your room and add that “designer touch.”

Just remember to keep a common element throughout and watch your home come alive.

Renters Guide | June 3–17, 2022

S

how me a room, and I’ll show you a table put to good use. This indispensable, versatile piece of furniture doesn’t get the credit or consideration it deserves. Tables play a central role in eating areas, such as the dining room and kitchen, but without the omnipresent table, no room would ever feel complete.

But with all the different table types, qualities and styles on the furniture market, how do you know what to choose? Here are three things to consider before you hit the showrooms.

Function Yes, it’s a table – coffee, dining, console, bedside. But despite its name, the indispensable table serves more functions than just the one it’s named after. With the rise of remote working, learning and entertaining, we’re really giving the table a run for its money. But before you go shopping, establish your use of the table and determine the criteria. Will you be seated at the table? At chairs, a sofa or kneeling on the floor? Is it functional, decorative or both? Does it need to accommodate any objects or tools, or storage otherwise?

Style Consider material and shape in the context of how the table will be used, and the broader scheme of the space. The kitchen table will double as a craft and homework area, ensure it’s durable and easy to clean – or better yet, cover up!

Design Tip: If your home is on the smaller size, glass and reflective elements such as polished chrome and mirrors can be your best friend, dramatically lightening the visual impact if the table. Look for “leggy” pieces that don’t block views of the flow of natural light, and create some depth and perspective by positioning a fabulous area rug underneath. nexthome.ca

57

Dimensions This consideration is multi-faceted, so let’s not waste any time.

Consider the size and specs of the space, which should help inform the dimensions of your table. In addition, it should be appropriately scaled to balance the other furnishings in the space.

Coffee tables can be the trickiest to “size up,” so to speak. The wrong scale or height can make a living room appear awkward and uninviting. To ensure your physical comfort and a well-scaled look, opt for a coffee table that’s the same height as the cushions on your sofa, or one to two inches lower.

Similar to height, your coffee table has to hit the right length in relation to the width of your sofa. Specifically, it should measure approximately twothirds the length of your sofa. So, a 96-inch sofa would accommodate a 64-inch coffee table.

One final rule of measurement is in your coffee table’s positioning. The ideal placement is 12 to 18 inches away from your sofa, making it easy to reach but well out of the way.

Measure the room, placement of walls, paths of traffic, doorways and windows.

Don’t forget to measure doorways and elevators. Now sketch it out, mark the measurements and bring this with you when you hit the showrooms – online or in-person!

Time to Shop!

If you’re shopping in person, be mindful of the showroom, which is usually a large, bright space with soaring ceilings and lots of “breathing room.” This can be deceiving. Never assume that because “it looks like it will fit your space,” that it actually will. This is especially the case with a larger-scale item, such as a table.

Now you’re ready to shop for a table that will meet your household’s needs for years to come – with measurements, purpose and confidence!
