EDITOR’S NOTE

MAKE YOUR MOVE MEMORABLE – IN A GOOD WAY

MARISA BARATTA EDITOR NextHome EMAIL: marisa.baratta@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @marisabaratta

Are you moving this year?

Some of you are reading this to equip yourself with knowledge for your homebuying journey – smart move! For those who are making a physical move to a new home, congratulations!

Whether you’re moving now or hope to be soon, you may already be feeling it – the shift from the pure excitement of getting a new home to pure planning/panic mode as you think about moving.

I keep saying this, but I’ll say it again because life is precious: Buying a new home is an exciting event, and it’s worth putting in some preparation time to minimize stress and maximize enjoyment.

Unless you’ve got a Mary Poppins-style bag (which would be amazing), you’re going to need some help sorting through your belongings, packing them up and transporting them to your new home.

On page 20, we talk about how to make your move cleaner and Greener for your own sake, as well as that of the community and the planet.

Also, watch out for moving scammers – unfortunately, they’re out there and very skilled at disguising themselves. On page 24, our Managing Editor Wayne Karl shares a horror story we’re hoping you can avoid.

Moving can be emotional, too. Your home is a big part of your life and family, and you make memories there. Whether it’s your next home or your forever home, it won’t move from its place in your heart.

PAGE 20: Moving soon? Here are five steps for making it a cleaner, Greener move for the place we all call home: Our planet!

An iconic new residence is coming soon to the dynamic Surrey City Centre neighbourhood. Introducing Avani Centre, a 30-storey tower that will incorporate 181 dazzling residences atop a seven-level, Hiltonbranded hotel.

“Avani will be located at King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway, the southern gateway to Surrey’s new downtown,” explains Jamie Squires, vice-president of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing. “Here you’ll be kitty-corner to the first SkyTrain station to downtown Vancouver, at the first station of the proposed LRT line connecting Surrey to Langley and White Rock, and just a short stroll to shopping, restaurants, Surrey’s medical and university districts, and the much-loved Holland Park. Let’s face it: You can’t get any more convenient than that.”

An exciting bonus is Avani’s access to the hotel’s lavish services and features on an a-la-carte basis – meaning you only pay for the extras you want to use. A spainspired pool and fitness areas are only the beginning, so you really need to check it out for yourself.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

ROSEMARY HEIGHTS WEST A PLACE TO CALL HOME

by CHRISTINE ROWLANDS

Just inside of South Surrey territory, Rosemary Heights West is a suburb of approximately 124 acres bounded by Highway 99 to the west, the Nicomekl River to the north, 152 Street to the east and 32 Avenue Diversion to the south.

In the 2006 census, Rosemary Heights was revealed to be one of the richest neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver in terms of median income. Residents’ median income was $44,301, more than double the figure for Metro Vancouver as a whole ($20,754).

THE VIBE

Rosemary Heights West has a master-planned feeling to it.

There’s a little of everything in terms of housing options, with many single-family homes but also gated townhouse complexes and lowrise condos, all connected by a network of walking paths.

A serene suburban enclave, this neighbourhood is close to major streets, which is a plus for commuters. At the same time, it’s the sort of place where kids could play hockey in the street or explore the outdoors on their bikes.

IN THE AREA

A short walk or drive takes you to nearby schools and Barbara Creek, which connects to the Nicomekl River. For serious retail therapy, you can hit the stores at The Shops at Morgan Crossing, Southpoint

18 NextHome.ca | Surrey / Langley / Abbotsford / Mission

Exchange Mall – or across the U.S. border. For sports and outdoor enthusiasts there’s Softball City and several golf courses, as well as Crescent Beach, the Semiahmoo Trail and Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Rosemary Heights West is served by major roads on three sides, including a nearby entrance/exit to Highway 99 for the commute to Vancouver, and bus service along 152 Street. It’s an easy neighbourhood to get around by walking or cycling, as it’s fairly flat and the network of paths includes a pedestrian overpass over Highway 99.

HOT SPOTS

TAP RESTAURANT Bringing city sophistication to South Surrey, this neighbourhood restaurant specializes in Frenchinfluenced dishes using locally sourced ingredients. taprestaurant.ca

+

STREET CORNER

“It’s very flat and there’s not too much traffic, so it’s great for walking.”

– LILY, RESIDENT “My daughter and her husband have lived here since it was built, and they love it. It’s a nice area with parks and shopping nearby – lots of stuff around.”

– BRIAN, GRANDFATHER “It’s a tight-knit community, very friendly. I see my neighbours all the time – they formed a walking club and often come to the restaurant, too.”

– ANDREW, SERVER

PIONEER OVERPASS Take a stroll and enjoy the view from the pedestrian overpass over the highway, which connects a beautiful park, neighbourhood greenways and shops. surrey.ca

THE KEG STEAKHOUSE AND BAR The South Surrey location of The Keg Steakhouse and Bar serves up its signature steaks and Keg-sized cocktails on 32nd Avenue, within walking distance from Rosemary Heights. kegsteakhouse.com

ADVICE | MOVING

FIVE WAYS TO MAKE A CLEANER, GREENER MOVE

CHUCK RESNICK

We need to think of the environment with every activity – even moving day can be cleaner and greener, and it doesn’t take much effort.

Waste caused by the moving process not only stems from packing supplies, but also from the waste accumulated over many years within a home. Both can be extremely taxing on the environment if not properly managed. Here are some suggestions for making your move a cleaner, greener process: 1 | PLAN AHEAD. Waiting until the

last minute to prepare for a move will make any environmental concerns an afterthought. Start early so you have the extra time to sort through recyclable items – in your apartment and in storage – for delivery to recycling depots prior to moving day. Typically your storage contains the highest concentration of recyclable waste, so start the sorting process there first. Consider holding a garage sale or donating gently used but no longer wanted items to a charity rather than having them end up in a landfill site.

2 | RESEARCH. Survey local

recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables.

Many cities offer curbside pickup or “sort and drop” depots. Visit

earth911.com for a list of local organizations that can dispose of all types of recyclable materials.

recycling depots for toxic products in your city.

5 | REUSE. Do not throw away used

3 | ORGANIZE. Prepare recyclables

by organizing into categories: Plastic, glass, aluminum, paper and cardboard, for example. Look up the requirements of the local recycler to see if there are any additional steps needed to prepare recyclables beforehand.

4 | CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. As you clean in

preparation to move, be conscientious about the kinds of materials being packed to move with you and which items are to be disposed of. Toxic items, such as paint, batteries, housecleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides and fertilizers, are dangerous and cannot be transported in the back of a commercial moving truck. Also note that these items cannot be thrown out with your regular garbage. Look up specialized

20 NextHome.ca | Surrey / Langley / Abbotsford / Mission

moving boxes when the move is complete. A well-made corrugated box is great for storage or may be reused for a future move or passed on to someone else who is moving. Contact local schools or charity organizations such as women’s shelters, scout troops and food banks to ask if they need boxes to redistribute donated items. Donating gently used boxes not only reduces waste but can also be a big help in support of a good cause.

WANT TO TOUR AWARD-WINNING HOMES?

BOB DE WIT

Sponsored by FortisBC and hosted by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, the GVHBA Parade of Homes is entering its 25th year! Join us on Sun., June 10 from 10 to 4 p.m. and tour 14 award-winning homes across Metro Vancouver. As a bonus, if you pre-register online, you will receive access to 10 additional virtual homes, which are available for online viewing only.

A must-see on the parade is a breathtaking single-family home

by Miracon Developments, 2018 Ovation Award winner for SingleFamily Home Builder of the Year.

Don’t forget to check out the full basement, beautiful master bedroom and spacious walk-incloset to match.

Home building is as much a science today as it is about craftsmanship and design. All the comfort and beauty we have come to expect from our homes is supported by building science, and years of craftsmanship. I encourage anyone considering a home purchase, renovation or custom build to take this opportunity to meet our builders, renovators and designers and see first-hand what goes into creating a home. Our Parade is as educational as it is inspirational, and I am confident future homeowners will be wowed by the state-of-the-art design finishing, but also by what is behind the walls.

The tour includes homes in West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley and Port Moody.

Visit gvhba.org/parade to register, view the homes and plan your route.

ADVICE | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

HOW TO AVOID A MOVING HORROR STORY

WAYNE KARL

When buying a home, you will likely consult with a team of trusted professionals — a mortgage broker, a lawyer, perhaps a realtor or builder sales associate and maybe a home inspector. Then, assuming you move ahead with your purchase, you will likely need a mover.

People often don’t consider a mover as an important member of their team of professionals.

However, given the critical role they perform – taking possession, at least temporarily, of all your worldly goods and moving them without loss or damage – it’s a function not to be taken for granted. Not doing your due diligence can invite untold problems.

Case in point: The following example admittedly doesn’t involve a new-home move, but the experience is all too common.

So is the lesson learned – unfortunately, the hard way.

I recently contracted a “professional” moving company to carry out a last-minute move of five furniture pieces on behalf of my son, a university student.

After calling several firms, I selected a local moving company, explaining that drop-off would be about 100 kilometres away.

We agreed on price ($350) and time (9 a.m.), and all details were confirmed in a “contract” exchanged via email.

The crew was on time the next

morning, but almost immediately began talking about a higher rate – $360. Not a huge difference, but it immediately raised my suspicions.

I’ll spare you all the gory details, but it’s important to share the lowlights of what happened next: • The company I originally contracted the job to was inexplicably unavailable to actually do the move the next morning, and apparently passed it off to another firm.

• My original contact, who was easily available the night before, suddenly was nowhere to be found.

• Once the truck was loaded, the fee increased to $450.

• Upon arrival at the destination, the movers said the fee was $500. “It’s taking longer than we thought, and the furniture is heavier.”

• “Sure,” I said, “right after I call the police.”

With that, the sordid tale ended.

The job was not complete and we were left to move the furniture indoors, becoming the victims of one of the top 10 scams monitored by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

“I could write a thesis on this,” John Levi, president of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM), told me.

CAM offers the following tips on how to avoid being scammed by unscrupulous movers: • Find reputable movers through the CAM, BBB or provincial government consumer protection agencies

24 NextHome.ca | Surrey / Langley / Abbotsford / Mission

• Ask three movers for estimates in writing • Get the terms and conditions in writing • Ensure your goods will be protected for loss or damage • Read customer reviews on movers’ websites and other forums “Consumers have recourse with their provincial government’s consumer affairs department and with the Better Business Bureau,” says Levi. “Both of these avenues are fraught with difficulties and often take many months to come to some form of resolution – satisfactory or otherwise. And often, the mover simply out-waits the consumer.

“It’s far simpler and more effective to engage a reputable mover in advance rather than trying to fix a bad situation after the fact.”

My example, though painful and infuriating, is minor compared to other common horror stories involving similarly unsuspecting clients.

Make sure you take the proper steps to protect yourself.

SOUTHCREST HOMES FOR TODAY’S FAMILIES There’s no doubt about it – families are discovering Southcrest, and they’re clearly loving what they see in this inviting South Surrey community

by Miracon.

Located in a quiet residential neighbourhood yet only minutes from the burgeoning amenities of Grandview Heights, this collection of just 30 homes proudly continues the awardwinning legacy of the nearby Southside and Westside communities.

Miracon’s history building homes throughout Surrey and Langley runs deep. Just weeks after being named Single-Family Production Home Builder of the Year at the provincial Georgie Awards, Miracon received the same honour for the second consecutive year at the 2018 Ovation Awards. The principals 30 NextHome.ca | South Surrey / White Rock

and many staff live here themselves, so they’re more than developers – they’re neighbours, too.

DESIGNED FOR LIVING

“Our buyers typically lead very active lives, so they love our openconcept plans,” says Ryan O’Shea, vice-president of marketing and sales. “It’s why we design kitchens with features like oversized islands, lots of windows, and unobstructed access to the dining room, great room and back patio. They’re not only a perfect social space for entertaining – which is an important part of the lifestyle – they encourage the entire family to stay connected. Kids could be doing homework while mom and dad prep dinner, it’s easy to grab a quick breakfast together, and there’s so much counter space that several people can be cooking at the same time.”

The bathrooms here are elegant and sophisticated. “You just can’t help but feel special in the ensuite,” O’Shea says, pointing out the rich-toned porcelain tiles that span the floor and shower walls. “And the freestanding soaker tub adds such a dramatic sense of luxury.”

And here’s a cool bonus: The spacious covered deck is ready for year-round entertaining with a barbecue quick-connect and built-in patio speakers.

The Southcrest presentation centre and display home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 16788 – 18 Ave. in South Surrey. Priced from $1.4 million. Plans range from 3,230 to 3,305 sq. ft., including finished basement.

ADVICE | CONDO SENSE

MARPOLE POISED FOR GROWTH

One of Vancouver’s oldest areas is undergoing a new community plan to respond to local needs and aspirations.

CAMERON MCNEILL

Marpole, a once lesser-known community compared to its surrounding Vancouver neighbourhoods, is seeing some significant changes and is poised for growth as demand for new development increases.

Marpole stretches south of West 57th Avenue to the North Arm of the Fraser River and from Angus Drive to Ontario Street, and has been divided into four areas by the City of Vancouver.

1. The Granville “high street” is set to have a stronger presence with a mix of shops, services, restaurants and housing that will focus on higher buildings and more density.

2. Lower Hudson will focus on greater mobility access for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as retaining affordable rental housing.

34 NextHome.ca | South Surrey / White Rock

3. The plans for Oak Street will bring what the City deems an “urban residential character,” a welcome blend of new architectural designs with a mix of lowrise condos and townhomes. Adding to the unique character is GBL Architects with its contemporary design of 8888 Osler at Marine Dr. while the architectural firm IBI Group is set to bring a modern facade to the South Oak neighbourhood with its latest project Winston.

4. Cambie Street will continue to evolve into a hub for connectivity with transit access and walking and cycling routes.

The plan indicates close proximity to transit will also attract more businesses and create more job opportunities.

While we have seen an increase in new multi-family complexes along Cambie, Oak and Granville streets, redevelopment is also occurring on side streets close to the main routes. These projects usually have a smaller number of units, which appeals to homeowners who

prefer a quainter surrounding.

The City of Vancouver has outlined a 30-year plan for the Marpole community. Highlights for the new housing include 6,800 for homeownership, 835 for rental and more than 1,000 units designated for social housing.

As one of the city’s oldest communities, Marpole will undergo much-needed upgrades with the renewal of four major community facilities, the creation of a 10-acre park, and major improvements to its walking and cycling routes. The community plan promises more than 400 new child-care spaces, which will provide welcome relief since there are many new and young families calling Marpole home, plus we expect to see an influx of residences to the area.

Larger-scaled redevelopments will be focused along the south end of the Cambie Street Corridor with master-planned communities such as Cambie Gardens bringing more than 2,000 new homes.

Keep Marpole on your radar as the community continues to transform with additional housing mix, recreational and local business opportunities.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE INTEL

HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN YOU

AFFORD? ALYSSA FURTADO

We’re emerging from a weird time in the history of mortgages and housing in Canada.

After 10 years of skyrocketing house prices, especially in Vancouver and Toronto, the ride seems to be coming to an end.

The housing market has begun the soft landing that many predicted, as more inventory has come to market and the pace of sales slowed without a crash in prices.

Mortgage rates are up, too. After bottoming out in late 2016, rates have begun climbing steadily. The current mortgage rates in Canada are up more than a full percentage point, currently hovering just above the three-per-cent mark.

Following 10 years of unusual activity, this return to normalcy has many people wondering: “How much house can I afford?” And given the uncertainty of what’s coming next, the answer is not as simple as it may once have been.

Just do the math with me.

The formula for affordability is a combination of the mortgage you can get approved for, plus your down payment.

Mortgage affordability is based on a ratio of your income to expenses. Your gross debt service ratio is the sum of your mortgage payment (principal and interest), property tax, home heating cost, and 50 per cent of condo maintenance fees, divided by your pre-tax income. This number can

work out to a maximum of 39 per cent. Your total debt service ratio factors in your other obligations, such as car payments and credit cards, and can add up to no more than 44 per cent of your income.

Simple math shows that someone earning $50,000 per year can afford to spend $1,625 per month on their mortgage, property tax and heat.

But recently changed mortgage rules require homebuyers to pass a mortgage stress test. To get approved for a mortgage, you now have to show that you can stay within the debt service ratios at a much higher mortgage rate than you actually will have to pay.

Even if you can get approved for a mortgage rate of 3.09 per cent, you have to qualify as if you’ll be paying the Bank of Canada’s benchmark qualifying rate of 5.34 per cent.

That’s a substantial difference, and it erodes a great deal of mortgage affordability. For most, it means a loss of around 20 per cent in buying power.

Under the stress test, a Canadian earning $50,000 per year buying a home with property taxes of $300 per month and heating costs of $150 per month can afford a purchase price of only $271,000 with a 20-per-cent down payment.

Will interest rates continue to rise? Probably, yes.

That’s why the stress test is there – to help provide a buffer that will keep you from running into trouble when your mortgage comes up for renewal.

But just as you will want to leave a little breathing room when you buy your house, you should consider your ability to swallow a significant rate hike when your mortgage comes up for renewal.

A mortgage payment calculator can help you test what your mortgage payment will be under different scenarios to ensure you’ll be able to continue making mortgage payments if and when rates go up.

GEORGE THE BEST OF WEST COAST LIVING It’s one of Port Moody’s most fascinating secrets. A full one-third of this charming community on the eastern edge of Burrard Inlet is dedicated parkland.

Watersports and outdoor recreation are part of daily life here, and it’s common to see early risers out for a morning jog along the Shoreline Trail, or kayakers enjoying a quiet paddle from Rocky Point Park.

And yet, there’s also a distinctly urban vibe here, a sense of city sophistication that people are only just discovering. “For example, there are four craft breweries along Brewery Row, a large and very well-programed community centre, great access to transit – both the Evergreen Line and West Coast Express are within easy walking distance – as well as a vibrant cafe and restaurant scene,” explains Liz Anderson, director of sales and marketing.

contemporary townhomes, are anticipated to begin at the end of June.

“With more than 100 homes priced between $399,900 and $599,900, George offers an exceptional opportunity to a diverse range of buyers,” Anderson says. “People who are taking their first steps in the real estate market, young couples starting to think about kids and even downsizers who are selling the family home but want to stay in the Tri-Cities area see this as a chance to enjoy George’s proximity to nature and still remain in an urban setting.”

George is located at St. George Street between Williams and Buller streets. Plans range from one- to three-bedroom condos plus spacious three-bedroom townhomes. Features include gas range and secure parking; condo owners can also access a gear room stocked with kayaks and paddleboards. Presentation centre is anticipated to open mid-June.

NO-N O ’ S INTERNATIONAL LANDSCAPE DESIGNER CARSON ARTHUR SHEDS LIGHT ON FOUR OF THE BIGGEST GARDENING MISHAPS TO MULCH OR NOT TO MULCH

For years, I’ve rallied against homeowners using bright red mulch. In my opinion, red mulch in the sun is the only thing you see when looking at a garden. It overwhelms the plants. Finally, there is some science to support my dislike for the “fake” stuff. While some mulches are organically dyed, many of the new products are chemically treated, and the chemicals slowly leach into the soil. If you are determined to go for colour (there is purple and blue now too), choose a product that is safe for the environment.

BE AWARE OF BIG DECK SYNDROME

This is when homeowners invest lots of money and build a large deck or walk-out on the back of the second storey of their homes. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve seen some amazing constructions done by talented contractors, but eventually the homeowner is going to realize that their beautiful deck is a giant stage and they have just put themselves in full view of every one of their neighbours. Two tips to keep in mind: Plan for privacy as part of the design and use an environmentally friendly wood. These come pre-treated in rich brown tones that look great. My personal favourite is MicroPro Sienna.

FRONT GARDEN FRUSTRATION

Every single house, in almost every single neighbourhood in Canada, has a garden jammed up against the house under the front windows. Very few of these are successful because this is a challenging spot for plants to grow. Instead of placing the garden up against the house, move it out by two to three ft., and put a band of gravel behind it. The gravel allows you access to the home for things like cleaning windows, but it also forces you to plant forward, allowing the plants some space from the home itself. The best part: As the plants grow, no one will see the band of gravel from the sidewalk!

PRIVACY, PLEASE!

Have you planted a row of cedars to create privacy? Many homeowners have. The issue I have with them is that there are very few successful examples that are healthy, full and green.

Instead, I see hedges that have one tree in the middle that has died and turned reddish-brown. Or, the hedge itself has lost all of its branches at the bottom, creating an ugly gap that we try to fill with Hosta plants or other doomed perennials. Trying to create privacy with a triangle is a tough challenge! In the case of cedar, the skinniest part is at the top, right where we need the most coverage. Instead of just a cedar hedge, try planting a pair of cedars with an ornamental pear tree. By layering trees that are different shapes, you can create more privacy significantly faster.

Gardening versus Landscaping There’s a misconception that landscaping is the same as gardening when it comes to the value of your investment.

Gardening is all about the plants and using plants to create visual interest.

Adept gardeners can create impressive displays of colour and interest that can add value to a home.

Landscaping includes plants and gardens, but landscaping also encompasses the manipulation of land and usable space. Landscaping includes things like outdoor kitchens, walkways, patios, decks, fences, water features and shade structures. As a result, landscaping costs are on average significantly higher than the costs involved with putting in a garden.

So, often homeowners set their budgets based on numbers associated with gardening and not with the true expense for landscaping. When pricing an outdoor renovation for my clients, the landscaping costs are often 10 times more than the plant budget.

Before you start any outdoor work, do your pricing first and always work from a plan.

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY

HOMEOWNERSHIP:

TIME TO PLAN

According to a recent poll by CIBC, Canadian Millennials are dreaming of becoming homeowners but most aren’t planning for it – 76 per cent haven’t saved enough for more than a quarter of a down payment.

And a whopping 60 per cent believe that renting is just as costly as owning a home.

Surprisingly, the poll found that despite higher housing costs, homeowners are saving more each month than renters or those who live at home. In most cases, renters have a bonus opportunity to grow their savings because they don’t have the same monthly costs as homeowners. Yet according to the poll, it appears this isn’t a priority; of the renters and liveat-homers who intend to buy a home, less than half (45 per cent) have created a monthly budget and only 18 per cent have met with a financial expert.

“In the past, buying a home was really the trigger for getting serious about savings,” says Kathleen Woodard, senior vice-president, CIBC. When someone plans to buy a home, they reduce their spending so that they can save more to help achieve their goal. This can help foster healthy habits and the discipline needed to accumulate savings. Whether you’re looking to rent or buy, it’s a good idea to seek expert advice early on (for example, from a certified financial 52 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

planner) to help put together the right financial plan for you.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO OWN A HOME

“As Millennials delay the act of saving, they miss out on the opportunity to grow,” says Woodard. “As Millennials are weighing the options to rent or to own, it’s really important that whatever they choose to do, they need to start saving now. They can’t delay.”

WHERE DO YOU START?

• Crunch the numbers and figure out what you can afford • Get real and learn whether renting or owning is right for you • Get a budget together and see where you can trim your

financial fat and sock away towards a down payment • Figure out where you’ll save your down payment – in a bank account, RRSP or TFSA? • Get a plan – find a certified financial planner who can help you crunch the numbers!

FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT IS AN ART. EVEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HOME CAN BE UNINSPIRING AND INEFFICIENT IF FURNITURE ISN’T COMPOSED CORRECTLY. HERE ARE SOME COMMON FURNITURE FLUBS AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM!

by RED BARRINUEVO 54 NextHome.ca | Vancouver / Downtown Vancouver

A beautifully decorated home involves more than just great furniture pieces. A proper layout will ensure your pieces look their best and the room flows – Red

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Style versus comfort Style is certainly top of mind when decorating your home, but ignoring function and comfort is a big mistake. Think about how you intend to use the space, and go from there. For example, having a coffee table and side tables within reach of the seating highlights the space’s functionality and convenience, and it makes the room look complete.

Slightly off-centre By no fault of homeowners, I often see condominiums and townhouses with the dining area light fixture off-centre to where the table should be. Rather than trying to centre the table to the fixture, place the table where it makes sense. Then, simply swag the chain of the fixture, so it’s centred to the table.

Wrong starting point When arranging your bedroom furniture, start with the bed placement first. It’s the most important piece of furniture in the space, not to mention the biggest, meaning your options for other furniture will be limited. A bed that comfortably sits in the room with side tables and a headboard is all you need. Of course, accent chairs and a dresser are excellent additions, space permitting!

Now, back up...

Nothing is worse than walking into a room and being met by a big, bulky sofa back – and an ugly one at that! When arranging your furniture, always view your pieces from every angle. Reconsider your arrangement and alternate angles to create a more pleasing and inviting furniture layout.

Following sockets and outlets Just because your cable outlet is located on a certain wall does not mean your TV should be there. Again, think about what makes sense for how you plan to use the room, and its natural focal point. Remember, unsightly cables can be re-routed or covered.

Maintain good balance An unbalanced room is like a seesaw with only one person on it. It just doesn’t work.

Ensure your furnishings are equally distributed to maintain balance. This doesn’t mean you have to go completely symmetrical; it’s more about the visual weight of your furnishings and how it’s distributed.

Focus!

A focal point is the initial point of interest when you enter a room. Your main seating area should always have a focal point, whether it’s a window, a fireplace or an archway/ opening into another room. If you don’t have one, you can create one using a piece of art or furniture, such as a beautiful console table.

Forgetting flow and function When arranging furniture, consider how you will enter, exit and navigate the room. For living rooms, make sure that you can easily get in and out of seating areas without having to awkwardly dodge furnishings.
