It’s spring time and there’s a new feel in the air. You want to get rid of your old dusty carpets and get the fresh feeling of a new one. Do you just go out and buy one, then? NO. There are a number of factors to consider other than style when it comes to buying carpets—remember, this is a long term decision. Luckily, I am here to guide on your path to a smart carpet purchase.
Color
Yes, you guessed it, the most important aspect to a carpet is color. Remember that your carpet will take up the majority of your room, so choose your colors wisely. Match it with the walls, furniture, whatever you think suits best. If you like to redecorate often and change furniture, you may want to invest in a neutral color. Carpets you see in-store, catalogues, or online, are usually lighter when installed in your home.
Colors also affect the size of your room. Wait, what? How can a carpet make your room bigger? –It’s actually a visual illusion where darker colors make your room look smaller and lighter colors make it look bigger. But of course, that shouldn’t be your main concern. Let’s look at other factors.
Padding
Padding is the layer of cushion under the carpet. You know that feeling when you step on the carpet and it feels like heaven? Well that’s the padding at work, not the carpet itself. As you may have already guessed, the padding is a vital decision when purchasing a carpet. Good padding not only makes a carpet more comfortable, it also increases the lifespan by protecting it from wear and tear. Good quality padding will be more expensive, but a good investment in terms of quality for price.
Cost
Cost per square yard or foot is the main component when looking at the price of a carpet. But there are many other factors to consider.
- Furniture – carpet installers may charge you for moving furniture in order to actually get the carpet installed.
- Old floor covering – old floor covering needs to be disposed of
- Product delivery – if not included in the cost per square yard/foot, suppliers will have a separate delivery charge based on the size of your carpet
- Installation – again, if this is not included in the original price, installation is also expressed in square feet
- Maintenance – maintenance is usually optional but a recommended cost to incur. Warranty may be another factor.
Warranty
Getting warranty on your carpet may do you more harm than good financially. In general, warranty terms are very detailed and strict, and you may not get overall profit for the cost of a warranty. Again, this changes from supplier to supplier, so have a look into it, although it is not recommended.
Seams
Unless you have a small room, you will have seams. Most carpets are around 15 feet wide. The lighting and placement of furniture in your room will determine how visible the seams are between carpets—this may be a priority for some carpet buyers.
Stains
How long do you think you can go without stains? A month? Maybe two? It’s going to happen, regardless of how careful you are. Stain protection is a vital factor when buying a carpet, especially if you have children or clumsy housemates. You may want to look into high quality carpets and warranty packages.
Nap
The nap of a carpet runs in one direction. So when you vacuum or, sometimes walk, on a carpet, it may cause uneven shading. This can be avoided by windows treatments and placement of furniture, but shouldn’t be a big concern anyway.

A home doesn’t need to be modern to be green, but I like the modern ones. I’d love to see entire neighborhoods of modern green homes. I like the idea of changing the way we perceive the single-family home, too. Denser neighborhoods ? Sure. Residential wind turbines? Definitely. Solar on the roof? You bet. But right now, we’re still in the early stages of recognizing legitimate green homes. And as far as certified green homes are concerned, there’s only SEVEN LEED Platinum homes right now. That’s changing though. I think it’s important to study green homes and their lighter footprint, so I’ve put together my list of the Top 5 Super Green Modern Homes. They’re ultra-stylish and ultra-green. Two have obtained the Platinum certification, two are aiming for it, and one is super green no certifications needed. They’re listed below in no particular order.
PROJECT7TEN – Venice, CA (under construction)
This home was designed by Melinda Gray, founder of GRAYmatter Architecture, and is currently under construction. Upon completion in the fall, there will be an open house for everyone to take a peek. You may even be able to buy it, if you’re interested. Located at 710 Milwood Avenue in Venice, California, this home is shooting for LEED Platinum certification. Some planned green features include a rainwater reclamation system and grey water recycling, locally-sourced sustainable materials, recycled content countertops and insulation, FSC-certified lumber, rooftop solar panels, native landscaping for shading, Energy Star appliances, and Kohler water-efficient fixtures. Visit the Project7ten website.
MKLOTUS – San Francisco, CA (under construction) 
Designed by Michelle Kaufmann Designs and built by ExtremeHomes, mkLotus will be unveiled at West Coast Green in San Francisco from September 20-22, 2007. Some planned green features include a green living roof, rooftop solar power (100% powered by solar), rain and groundwater catchment system, grey water system, FSC-certified wood for framing, SIP wall assembly, open cell foam insulation by Icynene, Noritz on-demand water heater, folding glass door walls by Nanawall, bamboo flooring, no-VOC paints by Yolo, LED lighting throughout, EcoResin interior sliding door panels by 3form, Energy Star appliances, countertops by Concreteworks, FSC-certified cabinets over Roseburg Skyblend particleboard, floor and wall recycled glass tiles by Terra Green, and water-efficient fixtures by Kohler. Visit the mkLotus website.
5IVE – Minneapolis, MN (under construction)
John Dwyer, professor at University of Minnesota and founder of Shelter Architecture, designed this home for Jeff and Saleno Gallo. 5IVE is built with precast concrete walls with an r-value in the 30s, has one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems on the market, and will use the greenest possible materials, products, appliances, and fixtures. I like reading 5IVE’s blog called “Diary of a LEED Platinum Home,” which shares with us decisions, events, and thoughts en route to completion. Visit the 5IVE website.
LIVINGHOMES RK1 – Santa Monica, CA (completed)
This is the first residential building to receive the USGBC’s Platinum LEED-H rating, and due to the media frenzy associated with this home, it has raised the bar for what’s possible in residential construction: zero energy, zero water, zero waste, zero carbon, and zero emissions. LivingHomes received a total of 91 out of a total possible 108 points required to obtain the Platinum rating. It will be 80% more efficient than similar sized home and was constructed with 75% less waste than a traditional one. Some green features of this house include a rooftop photovoltaic system, radiant heating system within the floor, grey water system for irrigation, LED lighting, EnviroGlas recycled glass countertops, and the use of low-VOC paints and FSC-certified lumber. Visit the LivingHomes website.
HEATHER’S HOME – Weatherford, TX (completed)
Designed by Gary Olp of GGO Architects, this home is the first home in Texas to receive LEED-H Platinum certification. Heather’s Home is 2,038 sf and was built for about $117 psf. But what’s more incredible is the heating and cooling bill, which averages from $20-30 per month — pretty incredible for Texas! Some green features of this house include a rainwater collection system with 3,000 gallon holding tank, low-flush toilets, native landscaping, 20 SEER Daikin HVAC system, tankless water heater powered by rooftop solar panels, Green Guard certified Formica kitchen counters, and InterFLOR modular carpet. Visit the Heather’s Home website.

Updated: What is French designer Philippe Starck working on for Apple? Prior to his death, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was working with Starck on a yacht. And this is very likely the “fairly, if not very, revolutionary” project he was talking about. To be built by luxury superyacht builder Feadship, the yacht is believed to have a very minimalist and sleek design with a main feature being 40 foot long glass walls. And Starck has been involved in its design.
Mentioned in the New York Times from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Steve Jobs, which was released last Monday, the late Apple leader was working on creating his very own Feadship superyacht. Jobs didn’t like the normal yacht designs so he decide to design it himself, not a surprise, creating a super luxurious yacht to rival his good friend and fellow yachtsman Larry Ellison.
“The book also offers some tidbits about Mr. Jobs’s legendary attention to detail, which, according to Mr. Isaacson, extended to a luxury yacht that he began designing in 2009. The design is sleek and minimalist, with 40-foot-long glass walls. It is being built in the Netherlands by the custom yacht firm Feadship, the book says.”
When asked for a comment, the Netherlands-based Feadship responded by saying, “Sometimes, word gets out about one of our yachts. We often build for captains of industry, royalty and other leading individuals. Understandably, our clients value their privacy greatly and consequently we never discuss our owners’ identity. We choose not to comment.” Our sources have suggested that the boat will be based on Feadship’s recent Breathe concept (shown below) — which was showcased at the Monaco Boat Show 2010 and drew praise for its natural imitation of forms, shapes and patterns. How Zen!

Spring Home Fashions: DIY Tips
Spring is already peeking in, and of course, a spring cleaning is in order. So for you to revamp your home and make it stride with the season, it’s time for you to educate yourself on what you should do. Your home is your refuge, and for this reason it deserves to have the best décor that your taste allows. For this season, shabby chic and rustic décor are very popular. Here are a few ways you can start your DIY redecoration project.
Get ideas
There is no better way for you to be able to get ideas than looking at pictures. The sources you can use may vary from catalogues, magazines, and websites. In fact, if you look at pictures of other people’s homes, you might realize how one concept that you thought didn’t look nice would actually go well with the similar setting you have. The beauty of doing this is that you have sources of inspiration to pull from.
Know where to shop
Department stores usually carry seasonal home furnishings. To help you save, be a smart shopper by maximizing discounts. For example, Kohls coupons let you save big on décor. Once you see a store that carries items that suit your home, then you can start shopping. Specialty stores carry furnishings that vary from rustic, modern, Zen, and shabby chic. Shabby chic is very popular this season because of its delicate design and color inspirations, so try to look for even small items that you could incorporate to your home’s current design.
Do your own décor
For some people, doing things themselves is a better idea since it adds a personal touch to the home. DIY projects are fairly easy to do if you have the materials, the time, and the patience. An extra pair of hands would help as well, so it’s great if you can have your family with you. Shelves and book cases will most often be the easiest thing to do. If you’re going to repaint your house, stick to pastels and bright colors. Of course, you couldn’t go wrong with white, cream, and pearl. When paired with other colors such as margarita, cockatoo, and lilac, they give a very sweet appeal. Kid’s rooms, kitchens, and sunrooms are perfect for these colors.
These are just a few ways that you can start up with redecorating your home in preparation for spring. Do you have more ideas that will help other readers in their redecorating journey? Share it with us.

In the past, many people chose to move rather than remodel. Some love home improvement projects of any size, but even those who do not have been influenced by the weak housing market to alter the houses they have. Opening up spaces with too many walls, updating a dated bathroom or totally making over an ageing kitchen can make all the difference in the feel, personality and function of virtually any home. Many choose contemporary design, highlighted by contemporary interior design. A popular improvement made on homes acquired through property auction is updating the kitchen to contemporary styling.
There are many more old, tired, outdated kitchens than there needs to be. Neither does a kitchen have to be old to be outdated. Kitchen design is such a personal choice among those for whom it is important, builders are likely to provide only a “stock” kitchen that is not offensive either to those who favour contemporary design or those who prefer more traditional approaches.
This kitchen (before and after pictures at http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/styles/modern/renovations-before-after/#page=14 ) provides a dramatic example. The old kitchen was cramped and covered in an array of ceramic tile colours and styles that would lead the most charitable viewer to question what the homeowners were thinking. The newly remodelled contemporary kitchen bears no resemblance to its predecessor. It has a pale wood floor with slightly darker cabinets that sport a clean, crisp design. It employs the metals important in contemporary design with the stainless steel appliances. Pot lighting illuminates the workspace, as contemporary pendant lights suspended over the sink area provides both lighting and visual interest.
Here is an example of a kitchen in traditional style that certainly was not offensive but still was outdated before its transformation to a warm but contemporary space (before and after pictures at http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/styles/modern/renovations-before-after/#page=3 ). The homeowners replaced the white traditional cabinets with light, natural wood cabinets designed with sleek lines and no visible hardware. The new floor is a darker brown. Other than the green outside a wall of windows, the only colour in the kitchen is in the form of the dark red cushions gracing the counter – height chairs. Another difference in the before and after pictures highlights a primary point of contemporary interior design. That is to keep the space uncluttered and visually clean.
This kitchen is a perfect example of one that had no real problems prior to renovation, but is so much more pleasing in its new contemporary form (before and after pictures at http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/styles/modern/renovations-before-after/#page=6 ). The sink is still under the window, and it appears that the footprint of the kitchen has not been altered. Beyond that, the new kitchen bears no resemblance to the one that existed before renovation. The new contemporary kitchen has sleek, light wood cabinets topped with darker granite countertops. All of the dark, heavy wall cabinets have been replaced with open shelves. Again, a primary goal is to have and maintain an uncluttered space, and the renovated kitchen attains that goal.
The “before” picture of this kitchen leads the unpractised eye to conclude that it must be a hopeless case, but the “after” picture is nothing short of stunning (before and after pictures at http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/styles/modern/renovations-before-after/#page=7). In this narrow kitchen, the only functional change was moving the range from one side to the other. All of the drama of the transformation arises from the sleek new cabinets, new floor, new sink and faucet, new countertops and matching stainless appliances. This kitchen keeps the overhead cabinets, but uses translucent doors to give an illusion of open shelves while avoiding the clutter factor that open shelves can create.
The word “contemporary” is not interchangeable with “modern,” though the words often are used that way. Modern is an architectural style, but contemporary design refers only to current materials, lighting, texture and colour. Contemporary interior design is that which is clean and uncluttered. In the kitchen, contemporary design often employs an array of metals, focal point lighting and neutral wall colours that highlight designed focal points.

If the design of the furniture, especially sofa set or comfort chairs, is not able to provide the desired relaxing feel, the furniture turns out to be nothing more than a piece of strong wood.

Dining tables are among the most significant pieces of furniture. Food is served on the dining table, and it brings the whole family together. However, choosing the perfect dining table isn?t just about its use. You have to consider other things as well. For instance, the size of the room affects the choice you make. You cannot afford to buy a large table when the space to accommodate it is limited. Here is a brief guide on how to choose the ideal dining table:
How Many People
The size of the dining table is not just governed by the space of the dining room. The number of people who will use the table also matters. If you are five people in the family, buying a tiny square will leave one member out. Instead of going for a four edged table, buy a round dining table. If you have enough space in the house, you can get larger dining tables to accommodate six or even twelve people.
It Must Complement its Surroundings
The dining table cannot be ignored. It is the center piece of the dining area and has an impact on its surroundings. The table must complement other furniture around it. This includes light fixtures, shelves or cabinets in the dining area. The color of the dining table must match and contrast the theme of the house. It is always better to buy a dining table with a complete set of seats. If you are buying a table separately, make sure it matches with the chairs.
Curtains and Table
If the curtains in your home are dark, go for a light colored table. If both the curtains and table are dark, the area will look cluttered and dull. The table must look inviting and must stand out. The design on the dining table and chairs must match with the curtains in the dining area.
Shape is Important
You can buy a square, rectangular, oval shaped or round dining table. For larger dining areas, rectangular and oval shaped ones are recommended. They make the house look adorable and accommodating. On the other hand, for small apartments, round or square tables are recommended. They make the small area look spacious and beautiful. There are retractable ones available in every shape now.
Metal, Glass or Wood
Dining tables are available in metal, glass or wood. Sometimes you can find dining tables made from all three materials. Although, most people prefer buying wooden dining tables because they are elegant. Additionally, they last longer and are durable. Besides, wooden furniture becomes even more valuable with time. Similarly, people go for dining tables made from glass and metal because they are beautiful, sophisticated and classy.
Finding the ideal dining table requires a lot of time and thoughtfulness. Dining tables last a lifetime, so make sure you take your time to choose well.

The interior designing industry of Canada is one of the fastest growing sectors in the country and has witnessed graphs of elevating substantial growth. With more and more buildings coming up in every nook and corner in the country, interior designers are in top demand today. Exhibitions like National Home Show are attracting direct foreign investment into the sector by bringing international designers into the country. There are colleges and universities which offer courses in interior designing thereby churning out a large number of students with fresh doses of creativity and ideas in their mind. Trade shows like The National Home Show bring together a variety of innovations and ideas on the table as well.
The demand for interior designing as a sector has continuously been on the rise as industrialization is a phenomenon that has been least affected by the recession as well as the growing rate of the Canadian Dollar. For the past 10 years, the economy of the country has been observed to be very stable which has resulted in giant advances in the field of interior designing. This also holds true for the increasing number of students who enroll themselves for interior designing courses in colleges as they see a bright professional future ahead. Exhibitions such as National Home Show have always encouraged the visiting of students as well as the older generation alike. Another surprise result that the latest census data in the country showed was that women held about 78% of the interior designer jobs in the year 2006 and such a trend has been seen to be on the rise since the early 90s. This has further reinstated the fact that women have held the designer jobs as they prove to be much more on the creative side when it comes to drawing plans, furnishing bedrooms and choosing between various varieties of blinds and shades. Visitor profile in trade shows like The National Home Show has also shown dominant female gender participation.
As far as the employment section of the industry goes, it is observed that most of them start out their career as junior engineers working as an apprentice to a senior designer. With the passage of time, they get promoted to intermediate designers, senior managers and finally project managers in a firm. The National Home Show has always encouraged interactions that have helped interior designers find solutions to some of their problems. After gaining enough experience, they even set up their own offices and firms. A survey report in the year 2006 showed that 39% of all the interior designers in the country were self employed. National Home Show, a premier interior design exhibition in the country offers an informative experience especially to the passing out graduates from various colleges. With the boom in the construction sector expected to continue even more, the interior designing industry does not face any real challenge and is therefore expected to witness even greater developments in the future.
