Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Eyoälha Baker, owner of interior-design firm Urban Remix (www.urbanremix.ca) was quoted in a recent article published in the Georgia Straight Living magazine calledTake a tip from Alice: use stunning mirrors to enhance your world, by Jessica Werb. The article discusses the shrinking condo phenomena taking place in Vancouver and how the use of mirrors can be used to create the illusion of space:
“A typical young homeowner in Vancouver, city of the incredible shrinking condo, is likely dealing with some fairly cramped quarters. But with some cleverly positioned mirrors, you can create the illusion of a few extra square feet of space. “You can definitely use them to make spaces feel larger,” says Eyoälha Baker, owner of interior-design firm Urban Remix ( www.urbanremix.ca ). The trick, she explains, is to “reflect a piece of artwork or a view, or even an area that you want to look at more”.” To read the entire article, follow this link:

GOING GREEN WITH PAINT
With all the new and interesting recycled, renewable and non-toxic products on the market these days and the ever increasing awareness of the effects of building products on the environment and our health, there is no time like the present to go green.
Think low and zero-voc paint products.
“VOC's are the solvents in paint which evaporate easily at room temperature – the stinky stuff, bad for people and the environment. VOCs are thought to be contributors to the depletion of the ozone layer, as well as contributors to poor indoor air quality.” - YOLO Colorhouse® website.
YOLO Colorhouse® paints are excellent quality and are zero-voc paint. Although there are only 40 hues available at the moment, they are beautiful, neutral and inspired by nature.
For more info on YOLO paints, check out their website: www.yolocolorhouse.com

Furniture Arrangement
Well arranged furniture can really open up a room, making it feel bigger and more inviting. Avoid having too much furniture in a room and try not to have it pushed up against all four walls. For a change, try placing a piece or two on an angle. Take advantage of the focal points in a room and focus on the fireplace, windows, or view.
De-clutter your mind
It is so easy to get caught up in everyday stress created by living and working in the city combined with family expectations, obligations, financial pressures and limited time so it’s not surprising that homes begin to pile up with unnecessary clutter and heavy, stagnant energy. It is important not to forget how essential it is that a home be a place of comfort and refuge from the outside world in order to maintain health and wellbeing.
People often think they need to buy new furniture or accessories, but what they actually need is exactly the opposite, they need to de-clutter and get rid of old things to clear the energy and open up the space. Urban Remix Interior Arrangement Specialists is one company that takes a unique approach to helping clear your space and your mind by assisting in the de-cluttering process, then re-arranging and organizing your décor for you. This process will reactivate the energy, create a positive energy flow, a sense of clarity, wellbeing and empowerment, without having to go out and buy everything new.
House For Sale?
A Few Tips on Preparing Your House For sale:
- A fresh coat of paint will clean and brighten up the rooms.
- Clean all floors, tiles and counters.
- Shampoo dirty carpets.
- Get rid of all clutter in closets, cupboards, garages, basement and attic.
- Use self storage for extra furniture and accessories if necessary.
Investing in a professional home stager can actually increase the value and speed of selling your home!
Breathe New Life Into Your Environment...
Why buy new, when you can work with the decor you already own – you would be surprised what you can find when you go shopping in your own home for furniture, art and accessories. If you are like many people, you have already collected or inherited some beautiful pieces of art, furniture and accessories over the years. Urban Remix can help you to showcase and display the things you love and re-arrange your furniture to give your home a fresh new feeling – without having to replace everything you own. Breathe new life into your environment…

Interior Arraignment Specialists approach your home with an objective eye and a lot of creativity to transform the way your space looks and feels.

Home Sanctuary
When a home's belongings have been stationary for too long, and or you accumulate clutter, the surrounding energy becomes stagnant and can begin to make you feel overwhelmed and unmotivated.
We all deserve to live and work in a comfortable, uncluttered, well-organized, and healthy environment - one that makes us feel good, but we don’t always have the time or energy to do the work ourselves. Imagine the feeling of leaving to work in the morning then coming home to a re-organized and re-arranged home interior that gives you a sense of clarity, wellbeing and empowerment, and even better - without having to buy anything new!
Luckily, there are Re-design companies, such as Urban Remix Interior Arrangement Specialists that can help you revive your space. Urban Remix takes a unique approach to redesign by helping you to de-clutter then rearranges your space for you while you are out - using all your own favorite things.
