COLOUR YOUR WORLD

Bored with cool spa colour schemes? You’re not

alone. Melanie Rice, colour advisor for Para Paints

and a member of the Color Marketing Group,

which tracks colour trends internationally, says

consumers are moving away from neutrals. “Peo-

ple want a punch of colour, especially clear, clean

colours that are evocative of nature.” So go ahead,

add a jolt of spicy red or warm yellow to your interi-

or landscape. If you’re wary of strong hues, start

with subtle shades, like Para’s Cream Custard and

Ming Gold, in a powder room. Or go big and bold by

painting the family room in deep shades of red. Try

Para’s Paris Red washed with Heart’s Desire.

RAY OF LIGHT

Replace heavy winter drapes with sheer drapery

panels. If the view is more urban grit than bucolic

splendour, cover them with a translucent, reusable

decorative window film, such as Artscape’s Bam-

boo or Magnolia designs, both $27 for a 24- by 36-

inch roll. Artscape products are available at The

Home Depot stores and at homedepot.ca.

BRIGHT IDEAS

CRYSTAL CLEAR

Cut crystal, formerly the staid dowager of the china

cabinet, is chic this spring, now that designer Marc

Jacobs has included it in his new line of tableware

for Waterford Wedgwood, in stores this June. Im-

press your guests with an elegant bouquet of tulips,

freesia and other spring flowers. Cathy Cox, direc-

tor of horticulture for the Toronto Botanical Gar-

den suggests bringing in branches pruned from ap-

ple or other fruit trees, placing them in water and

watching the blossoms unfold.

Spring fling

Seize the day and invite spring into your

home. Here are six upbeat ways to rid your

house of winter ballast and create a

lighter, more spacious environment.

THE OFFICE

Revitalize and expand your workspace with a great

new chair, like the Dialogue, whose broad arms

provide a perch for a laptop, lunch tray or the hefty

report you’re ploughing through. Inspired by retro

design, particularly the Womb, designed by Mod-

ernist icon Saarinen in 1948, and featured in this

Norman Rockwell painting, left, it’s elegant enough

for the living room as well. And unlike Rockwell’s

hapless-looking fellow, the elevated seat height is

supposed to encourage the user to sit slightly for-

ward, and maintain better posture. The Dialogue is

available in fabric and leather at UpCountry, 310

King St. E., Toronto, 416-777-1700 or Vaughan

Mills mall, 905-760-8108. Prices start at about

$2,700, and for matching ottoman, $850.

UNCORK IT

Celebrate the season by sharing a bottle of wine

with friends. Serve in a decanter, such as Reidel’s

new Colori, $80, at William Ashley. Wine snobs

may debate the merits of decanting, but Konrad Ej-

bich, author of A Portable Guide to Ontario Wines,

Wineries, Vineyards & Vines, says they’re useful

when you want to aerate a wine, filter sediment, or

simply put together a pretty tabletop. His only ca-

veat: Don’t leave wine in the decanter overnight. If

there’s any left when the party’s over, he advises

pouring into the smallest bottle or jar possible, and

saving it to cook with — or drink — later.

IN THE BEDROOM

Lighten up your bedroom with a new set of sheets

in a contemporary floral design, such as Au Lit Fine

Linen’s new Swedish Collection. With its re-

strained cherry-blossom motif, this breezy blue

bed linen is made from 250 thread-count cotton-

percale, and is available at Au Lit (2049 Yonge St.,

Toronto, aulitfinelinens.com, 416-489-7010). A

queen-size duvet cover sells for $283, a flat sheet,

$141; a fitted sheet, $136; standard and queen pil-

lowcases, $77 a pair.

They say it takes a woman to

do a man’s job, so why not

look like one the next time

you take a sledgehammer to

the kitchen wall? Tomboy

Trades offers a full line of

made-for-women work

clothes and tools, including

toolbelts, gloves and these

pink construction

boots. Pamela Ander-

son, Home Improve-

ment’s Tool Time

Girl, would have

loved them.
