WELCOME LETTER 

They always say time 

changes things, but you 

actually have to 

change them yourself. 

-Andy Warhol 

I have to admit, it stings a bit every time I watch one of those insurance 

commercials with Dr. Rick. Yes, apparently, I am turning into my 

parents. I leave my phone number twice when I leave a voice mail. I still 

have a landline. I pack water and munchies when I go to the movies….I 

could go on, but you get the point. 

Well one more example…as I was researching mattresses for our 

“Supporting Your Sleep” feature, I matter-of-factly told my coworker 

how old my own mattress was. Her look conveyed a mix between shock 

and disgust. But in my defense…I am sleeping perfectly well, mattresses 

can be expensive, and on a green note, it’s one less thing going to the 

dump. 

Although those excuses could be covering up the root cause—I grew 

up with parents who didn’t throw things away. Bath towels and dish 

cloths hung around in drawers for decades. Our kitchen cabinets were 

original to the home. Lamps were outfitted with 60-watt incandescent 

bulbs and served as a source of light…not mood. 

Whether the push is from Dr. Rick or the new year, it might just be 

time to freshen up our homes with items that make us happy and more 

comfortable. Is it time for that new mattress? A kitchen update? Need 

help making sense of today’s confusing array of light bulbs? Or would 

you like to tap in to your home’s unused space? Regardless of your goal, 

this issue of Housetrends has it covered. 

It’s a new year, and you’re a new generation. It’s time to celebrate 

change. 

Thanks for reading.

Designer Tips...What’s Hot 

Why Not Navy Blue 

When we think of the new year, we think of 

fresh starts, and when we think of fresh starts, 

we think of fresh paint. There's just something 

about the new year that makes us want to repaint 

every wall in our homes. 

Deep hues can work wonders in a living 

room to create a cozy, inviting feel, and navy 

blue is a stylish choice. Use it as a backdrop 

for bold color and pattern or complement it 

with soft neutrals for a space that looks warm 

and harmonious. 

Blue tends to be a go-to color for bedrooms 

because it's an ideal shade for lowering stress 

and promoting mellow vibes. Since that's 

a feeling you probably want to experience 

throughout your home, why not consider the 

bold hue for your living room, too?

DISHING WITH 

KitchenDesigners 

Area experts share their favorite features 

BY KAREN BRADNER 

As editor of a magazine that has a heavy focus on kitchens, I often get asked by friends and 

acquaintances who are prepping for a remodel what they should consider when planning and 

designing their new space. I have my particular favorites: I like a floating shelf or two, I like one 

wall with no upper cabinets, and I don’t like the microwave to be mounted over the range. 

(This is based on my own experience—my microwave is, in fact, mounted over my range.) 

But Housetrends has access to an incredible group of kitchen designers and I decided to take 

that question to them asking: “What is one item, or concept, you’d want to include if you 

were designing your own kitchen?” 

Here are their answers…there are a few common threads definitely worth noting. ➻ 

housetrends idea book 2023 17

“For years we put desks in kitchens and they 

became a catch all. A command center allows 

you to charge cell phones, send a note, stack 

mail and store coupons. You take care of a 

task and close the door.” 

—Vicki Waker, Cabinet Creations Inc. 

“It is important to allow room for 

multiple people to be in the kitchen and not feel 

on top of each other. I always include a number 

of “touch down areas,” open countertop space 

for prepping, serving, and cooking supplies.”

—Dana Dalton, Daso Custom Cabinetry

“As someone who cooks frequently, 

proper spice storage is a must! 

‘Rev-A-Shelf’ Base Cabinet Pullout 

allows you to keep different size 

spice containers organized and easy 

to find without ending up with 

duplicates. It even has room at the 

bottom for oil/vinegars!” 

Photo by Marshall Evan Photography 

—Katie Florjancic, The Cleary Company 


“Opening up one wall to another 

room allowed us to extend 

usable counter space which we 

desperately needed. The new 

layout allows two or more people 

to work independently. Light from 

windows in the adjacent room now 

filters into the kitchen.” 


—Wendy Sorenson, J.S. Brown

“I would do a butler’s pantry! A place for the 

many kitchen appliances and gadgets we 

accumulate to live, organized food items, 

and countertop space to plug in crock pots, 

toaster etc. that you don’t want seen in the 

main kitchen.” 

—Amber Bolin, Dave Fox Design | Build Remodelers Photo by CT Photo Memories 

“I would incorporate modern “connected” 

appliances, such as a refrigerator that allows 

you to remotely monitor its contents, and 

a range that allows you to pre-heat from an 

app on your phone.” 

Bosch appliances in this kitchen can be controlled 

remotely via the Home Connect App.

—Matt Jones, Greater Dayton Building and Remodeling 


“Hands-down a scullery. The main kitchen 

can remain a pristine showpiece without 

sacrificing functionality. With limited space, 

a scullery can provide an extra sink, dishwasher, 

beverage fridge, and cooking appliances 

with the added benefit of pantry and 

small appliance storage.” 

—Allison Burt, 

Haus Studio 

“For me it’s drawers….as many as I can have. 

Large, wide drawers hold pots, pans, bakeware, 

casserole dishes, plastic containers, 

linens—you name it! They take one motion 

to open, and you can see everything. Full 

extension is a must.” 

—Carrie Bordenkircher, 

Kircher Design & Build

“My kitchen must have would be lots of 

drawers! They offer much more convenient 

storage and accessibility rather than your 

traditional shelving or pullouts. Large 

drawers for pots and pans, smaller drawers 

to organize silverware and other cooking 

utensils.” 

—Amber Ott-Johnson, 

Kitchens By Design 

“Without proper organization, all the pretty 

doesn’t matter. Each of my cabinets has a 

purpose. I have a place for pots, pans, ladles 

and spices. Everything has its home and 

that makes me happy every time I cook or 

put things away.” 

—Melissa Kehayes, 

Western Custom 

Cabinetry 

Photo by Mark Tepe 


“I would include an island that functions 

like a table. You could prep on one side and 

sit on the other or switch. It would have to 

have power at both ends and hidden storage 

drawers.” 

—Michael A. Wright, Kitchen Kraft 

“Custom organization solutions keep your 

kitchen feeling orderly and fresh for the 

months and years following a renovation— 

from a lift for your mixer to easy-access 

drawers for pots, pans, and lids, and perfectly 

divided drawers to keep counters free 

of clutter.” 

Photo by Brenna Smith 


—Sarah Festa, R.L. Bull Cabinetry

“Layers of lighting are critical. 

Ceiling or recessed lights provide 

general ambient lighting. Tape light 

under upper cabinets provides task 

lighting. Decorative lighting— 

overhead pendants or sconces— 

enhances style and creates focal 

points. Tape light inside glass-front 

cabinets and below lower cabinetry 

adds drama.”

YOUR SLEEP 

Making sense of today’s mattress options 

BY LEE RHODES 

“Going to the mattresses” is an expression that (for those who aren’t Godfather fans 

and don’t already know) means to gear up for battle. 

The thought of purchasing a new mattress may feel a bit like going to battle, what 

with the plethora of options available today and the fact that–since we spend a third of 

our lives sleeping–choosing the right mattress is a big decision. All the more reason to 

view this purchase not with trepidation but with anticipation and even excitement–and 

to get educated before you start to shop. 

Mary Helen Rogers, VP of Marketing and Communications at the Better Sleep 

Council, concurs. “We’re not here to tell you what to buy,” she says. “We recognize 

that it’s a very personal process, so we’re here to make it more fun and less of a 

grudge purchase.” ➻ 


EVALUATE FIRST 

With that in mind, it’s best to start by thinking not of when to buy a new 

mattress but when to evaluate whether you need one. Rogers explains: “Ask 

yourself, ‘How am I sleeping and how am I feeling when I wake up?’ If it’s good, 

then you’re good to go.” 

On the other hand, if you’ve recently gone on vacation and realized that you 

sleep much better on vacation than at home, it may be time to replace your 

mattress. Or, if you’re undergoing a lifestyle change, such as getting married, it 

may also be time, as your existing mattress may not align with what your partner 

needs. And if you’re experiencing a body change (think injury, pregnancy, 

weight gain, weight loss, etc.), those are all triggers for you to evaluate whether 

you need a new mattress. 

COMFORT AND SUPPORT 

While personal preference, size, firmness level, cost and more can influence 

your mattress purchase, the top two factors to consider when shopping for a 

new mattress are comfort and support. In other words, when you lie down in 

your preferred sleeping position (i.e., back, stomach or side), you should feel 

comfortable. Not only that, your head, neck and spine should be supported and 

in proper alignment. Here’s a breakdown of some different mattress categories 

relative to the kind of comfort and support they can provide. 

TO SPRING OR NOT TO SPRING 

Roberts explains that there are two “mega” categories of mattresses: those with 

springs and those without. Historically, mattresses have contained springs, but 

modern times call for modern mattresses. Springless mattresses are comprised 

of foam or air; examples include latex and memory foam. 

• Latex mattresses have a bouncy feeling (without the feeling of sinking) and 

are known for their durability. Because they are harvested from rubber trees, 

eco-conscious consumers favor them, though this also means they can be 

more expensive. 

• Memory foam mattresses are, for many, the heroes of the mattress world, 

perhaps because they envelop sleepers like a hug, molding to the body and 

evenly distributing weight. They allow people to sink into them for maximum 

comfort and can even alleviate back or joint pain. 

• Hybrid mattresses are just that: a mix of support springs and then a foam core 

with varying levels of comfort at the top. 

• Spring mattresses are certainly not obsolete. In fact, they provide support 

and bounce in their own right, with the coils allowing for airflow and 

ventilation. And spring mattresses often provide a cooler sleeping surface 

than other mattresses (though many of today’s foam options also help 

regulate temperature and wick away moisture). ➻

BASE-ICS 

Your mattress is key to a transformative 

sleep experience. But it doesn’t 

act alone. It rests, of course, on a 

base. Here are three basic types: 

A box spring is a network of steel 

coils framed in wood. They are the 

base of choice for an innerspring mattress. 

On the plus side, they tend to 

be more lightweight than a platform, 

and thanks to the springs, they have a 

little bit of give. The springs, however, 

may weaken over time. 

Canopy: Vanguard 

A foundation uses wooden slats 

which are spaced two to three inches 

apart—the closer together, the more 

supportive. On the plus side, this 

base is compatible with multiple mattress 

types, it provides even support 

and is fairly durable. However, this 

base has no give and tends to be on 

the heavier side. 

Metal: Liberty Furniture 

An adjustable base allows the 

sleeper to move the mattress to 

support the curvature of the spine. 

Adjustable beds tend to cost more 

and are considerably heavier—up to 

three times the weight of a traditional 

mattress, box spring, and frame combination.

SETTING THE STAGE FOR SLEEP 

Along with the right mattress, you need an appropriate bed frame. 

Platform beds are best for memory foam, latex, or hybrid mattresses. 

A conventional frame is better suited to the thickness of a mattress 

and box spring. 

PRACTICAL SHOPPING TIPS 

Rogers acknowledges that mattress 

shopping can seem daunting because 

there are a lot of choices. “I liken it 

to shopping for a car,” she explains. 

“The options seem infinite, so how do 

you start? You say, ‘I like a small car, a 

red car, etc.’ Start thinking about the 

features that are important to you and 

align with one that has your preferred 

level of comfort and support.” 

One of the best ways to start is with 

a self-inventory of what you like and 

don’t like. To help narrow down your 

choices, The Better Sleep Council’s 

website offers a “Better Bed Quizzz” 

to help consumers evaluate their mattress 

needs. 

Consider factors such as whether 

you sleep with a partner or alone. “If 

the latter, go on your own mattress 

journey,” says Rogers. “If you sleep with 

a partner, you need to find something 

that will work for both of you. If it’s 

you, a partner and a pet, take that into 

consideration.” Ultimately, choose a 

mattress that gives everyone plenty of 

room, including if you co-sleep with 

your children. 

Other factors? Think about what 

features are important to you. “Smart” 

mattresses offer everything from a 

massage option to sound features 

to sleep monitoring to adjustable 

foundations. The latter allows you 

to raise the head and the foot, and 

it helps with snoring and even with 

injuries. 

Rogers encourages going to 

multiple stores and testing out what 

different mattresses feel like. It’s a 

tactile product, after all. “There is 

a lot of science and technology out 

there that goes into today’s sleep 

surface and if you haven’t shopped 

for a while, it may be unfamiliar,” she 

acknowledges.” So put on comfy pants 

and head out to try some out.” ➻ 


It’s also important to bring your own pillow or ask for a pillow so you can get an accurate feel of the 

mattress as it relates to your head position. 

Finally, in terms of cost, keep in mind that you may want to stretch your budget, if you can, because a good 

mattress is a good investment—not just in your physical health but in terms of your mental and emotional 

health as well. If you’re not sleeping well, you’re not going to feel well. 

“I like to say, ‘By investing in your mattress, you’re investing directly in yourself,’” concludes Rogers.

WHAT SIZE TO SLEEP ON… 

Your mattress needs to be a good match for your sleeping habits, but it also needs to be the right length for your 

body and the right size for your room. Widths vary from just over 3 feet to 6 feet. Lengths vary from just over 6 

feet to seven feet. And remember, getting some of these up staircases can be tricky. 

Fun fact: The California king got its name from where it was invented—Los Angeles, California. 

The creator of the mattress thought most Californians had houses big enough for a bed six feet wide and seven feet long.

HIDING UNDER 

THE STAIRS 

Clever ideas for creating more 

usable space in your home 

There are secrets lurking behind our walls and under our stairs. 

Sometimes you’ll also find them hiding inside your furniture, 

in the basement or even the garage. These secrets conceal 

extra space that, if uncovered, could be used for 

storage, studies, playtime, and more. Here are 

some of our favorites that homeowners have 

revealed. ➻

SPACE UNDER THE STAIRS 

Untapped space lies beneath most any set of stairs. Built 

in shelving, wine storage, a cozy reading nook, or a pintsized 

playroom are just of few of the possibilities. 

Wine center by Luxe Design Remodel.

INSIDE THE WALLS 

Tap into empty space behind walls. 

Carve a nook from the attic for a 

guest room. Or build recessed drawers 

into a knee wall to add valuable 

storage areas without sacrificing floor 

space. 


WORKING REMOTELY 

While garage space isn’t hidden, it is 

often ignored. Consider sectioning 

off an area with drywall. Add portable 

heat and AC and you have office 

space, 2020-style. Use your remote to 

open the doors when weather invites 

you to work alfresco.

ASSIGN DOUBLE DUTY 

If your home office needs to double 

as a guest room on occasion, consider 

installing a wall bed. Lift it up and 

out of the way behind clever concealing 

cabinetry, and no one will be the 

wiser.

DECK THE WALLS 

Floating shelves are a great way to 

add vertical space without sacrificing 

floor space. It’s a win-win when you 

use these to artfully display functional 

items. And a television mounted 

on a wall makes room on the credenza 

for game time snacks. ➻

SEATING WITH STORAGE 

Built-in benches and banquettes, 

window seats, and ottomans, all offer 

the possibility of hiding tablecloths, 

blankets, and games. Put a load in, 

then take a load off.

UNDER THE BED 

Queen or king-size beds conceal 33 or 

42 square feet of floor space respectively. 

Clear, low-profile storage containers 

are an easy solution. But a bed 

with a base of built-in drawers—even 

better. 

VANITY IS FAIR 

If a pedestal sink is your style, never 

mind. But if you opt to show your 

vanity, consider selecting a model 

with drawers. Try to find one with a 

functional top drawer—thanks to a 

cutout for plumbing.

ASK THE EXPERT 

paver protection 

WHY YOU 

SHOULD 

SEAL YOUR 

PAVERS 

How does sealing pavers protect them? 

Most pavers are man made from cement 

powder, aggregate and color pigmentation. 

At the very surface of the paver, you’ll find 

mostly smaller aggregate, cement powder 

and color. This mixture of materials at the 

surface is what gives a new paver a smooth 

finish appearance. However, over time, 

rain and traffic deteriorate the surface of 

the paver removing the smaller aggregate, 

cement powder and color exposing the 

larger aggregate below the surface. Sealing 

your pavers will dramatically reduce 

surface deterioration. 

Mark Rhodus - President of Perfect Paver Co. 

What other benefits come with sealing 

pavers? Pavers that have been sealed are 

easier to keep clean since it’s more difficult 

for dirt and debris to get lodged in the 

pores of the paver. 

Many of the paver sealers on the 

market have natural oils added to them 

to enhance the remaining color in pavers. 

This is especially nice for older pavers 

since it will make them appear newer. 

Even newer pavers can fade soon after 

installation, so they too can benefit from 

this color enhancement. 

Sealing your pavers will protect them 

from salts applied to the pavers during the 

winter. This is important if your pavers are 

in the front of your home where shoes and 

tires carry road salt on them. 

line and Lee hired someone to repair their pavers.

What about the joints between the 

pavers? Most of the time, when a client 

contacts us to seal their pavers, one of 

their main concerns is the sand between 

the joints. When sealing your pavers, it’s

between the pavers. We recommend 

removing the existing sand and installing 

polymeric sand. Polymeric sand is a mixture 

of natural sand and plastic binders. Once 

installed and activated with water, it sets 

up hard like a grout. This makes it easier to 

maintain and keep your pavers clean. 

Should I seal new pavers? We strongly 

suggest sealing new pavers after they’ve 

been installed for 60-90 days. Just like 

with sunblock for the skin, you don’t 

want to wait until the damage is done to 

apply the protection. New paver owners 

are more educated than ever before, and 

so we’re sealing substantially more new 

paver installations.

BRIGHT IDEA 

Getting back to lighting basics, one bulb at a time. 

BY SYDNE SANTO 

When lightbulbs were first invented, they were purely functional. They allowed 

humanity to exist past sundown, opening entire worlds of possibility outside of only 

candlelight. 

Today, lightbulbs are still functional. They still allow us to lead lives at all hours of the 

day, but now, these lights are also used as pieces of decoration; they can add beauty, 

intrigue, and personality to any room. But before we can get to lighting design, we 

must first cover the lighting basics, starting with the bulbs. ➻ 

housetrends idea book 2023 53 


WHAT TYPE OF BULB SHOULD I GET? 

Picture a basic lightbulb. You know, the small one with the wires you 

can see that you’re used to sticking in your table lamps. That’s an incandescent 

lightbulb. Tried and true, it’s the base model of lightbulbs and 

provides the gold standard of light. 

The American Lighting Association (ALA) names three additional types of 

lightbulbs to choose from: 

Halogen incandescent 

CFL (Compact fluorescent) 

• Halogen incandescent – This bulb is very similar to the traditional 

incandescent bulb, as it’s part of the same incandescent family, but is 

more efficient than its traditional counterpart, using up to 30 percent 

less energy. 

• CFL (Compact Fluorescent) - The CFL bulb is more efficient still than 

the halogen incandescent, using up to 75 percent less energy than the 

traditional incandescent lightbulb, but its use is expected to decline due 

to the growing popularity of LEDs. 

• LED - Today, the LED bulb is the most efficient, longest lasting, and 

often the most suitable type of bulb for home lighting. The new models 

look very similar to traditional bulbs. These bulbs tend to have a slightly 

higher upfront cost, given their energy efficiency, but that cost is mitigated 

by their very long life. 

Now that we can identify the different bulbs, we can continue with 

other criteria to use in selecting the right bulb for you. 

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A LIGHTBULB? 

When you look at a box of lightbulbs, you will see a series of numbers 

along the bottom. Believe it or not, all these numbers actually mean 

something, and understanding them will greatly help you choose the right 

bulb! 

The next time you pick up a pack of lightbulbs, check the box for the 

following: 

• Lumens: How bright is the bulb? 

• Color: Is the light from the bulb a warm 2700K or a cool 4000K? 

• CRI: Does the bulb render colors beautifully? 80+ is good, 90+ is great! 

• Dimmable: Can I use the bulb with a dimmer switch? 

LED 

WHAT’S A LUMEN? 

Traditionally, lightbulbs were measured using wattage, which measures 

the amount of energy a lightbulb uses. But this is not an entirely accurate 

unit of measurement now, especially since bulbs take up less energy than 

ever before. For example, an 80W lightbulb does not inherently mean 

double the amount of light as a 40W lightbulb. 

Instead, we should use lumen, which measures a bulb’s brightness. For 

space lighting, anywhere from 450 to 1,600 lumens could do the trick, but 

for cozy, reading lighting, you would probably look for less brightness, and 

therefore, less lumens. It all depends on your space. ➻ 

54 housetrends.com

WHAT COLOR BULB IS BEST? 

Light coloring is different than light brightness, as it measures the overall light appearance. Some lights 

give off a warm light, while others have a cool, blue-white hue to them. Light coloring is measured in 

Kelvins, and a bulb with a lower Kelvin, typically ranging from 2,000 to 3,000K will be warm, while the 

bulbs with higher Kelvin, ranging from 4,000 to 5,000K, will be cool. 

The best trick of all? See the bulb on and in-person before buying. That will give you the best idea of 

what this bulb will look like in your space. 

Chart courtesy of Philips 

CRI: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 

CRI, or the Color Rendering Index, describes how many colors a light lets you see. This index is measured 

on a scale of 0-100, with 0 meaning all colors look the same, and 100 meaning you can see the true colors 

of an object. 

The general rule of thumb is, the higher the CRI, the better the color rendering capacity of a bulb. Of 

course, we want every bulb to score a 100, but try to aim for at least 80. 

CRI 70 

CRI 95

WHAT TYPE OF LIGHTING 

SHOULD I LOOK FOR? 

According to the ALA, the most 

aesthetically pleasing and effective 

way to light a room is to light with 

three layers: overall, task and accent. 

Overall lighting is the main light 

source in a room. This is typically 

the biggest, brightest light and tends 

to be higher up in order to give off 

the most light. This could include 

a ceiling light, recessed lighting, or 

multiple pendants. 

Task lighting is the light needed for 

specific tasks, like reading, cooking, 

or applying make-up. Task lighting 

tends to be more versatile in size, as it 

only needs to be lighting for specific 

tasks. 

Accent lighting includes every 

other type of lighting, like in-cabinet 

lighting, cove lighting, or small, 

portable lamps. 

The best part about layered lighting 

is that it could include any type of 

lighting, depending on the space. The 

most important thing is to layer the 

lighting so that appropriate illumination 

is available for the activity taking 

place and can protect your eyes over 

time. 

Top With a brushed nickel frame and 

seeded glass shades, these pendants 

from Z-Lite were inspired by the 

Metropolitan lifestyle.

LIGHTING FOR AGING EYES 

Lighting becomes more and more 

important as people age. The ALA 

says that with each passing year, 

people require more light to see 

properly. 

Terry McGowan, director of engineering 

for the ALA, says, “older eyes 

experience two important changes.” 

The amount of light required to 

sustain visual performance increases 

with age. Research shows that a 

60-year-old needs twice as much light 

as a 30-year-old. 

Over time, human eyes also become 

more sensitive to glare. This can 

seem a bit backwards, as adding more 

light can often result in increased 

glare on objects. That is what makes 

the quality of light that much more 

important as you grow older. 

Just a few simple lighting adjustments 

can make a huge difference 

when lighting your home with age 

considerations in mind: 

• Turn on a table lamp or two while 

watching TV to reduce the contrast 

between your dark room and the 

bright screen. 

• Have a task light that can be aimed, 

giving you direct light on the task 

at hand. 

• Use a floor lamp for versatile room 

lighting. Aim to find a lamp that has 

a light at the top, for full room lighting, 

plus a separate light attached to 

the side than be used as additional 

task lighting. 

Lighting is exciting! It can exist 

in so many ways, from floor lamps, 

to table lights, to even jaw-dropping 

chandeliers. Now that you understand 

the bulb basics, you can continue 

crafting your perfect space, with 

the right bulbs lighting your path 

forward.
