With the current climate, featuring mud, rain and an economic slump, you’ll likely be spending more time at home. Revitalize the hub—the kitchen—with a happy palette and a sunny, statement-making piece to cheer you up when the weather (and stock market) fail you.
When it comes to redecorating this spring, The Globe and Mail's design and decor editor, Danny Sinopoli, plans to “roll up the winter rugs, touch up with paint, and buy new accessories.”
Follow his lead, aspiring chefs and hostesses, and make an easy update with these key messages top of mind: comfort, colour, eco-luxe and lustre.
Comfort:
Comfort can be found in shapes, materials and colours with meaning. It’s familiarity people crave, Sinopli says, and is something that retro looks and touches of whimsy offer. “I see a lot of elements from the 60s and 70s making a comeback.”
Nothing epitomizes “retro” like the iconic sunburst clock. This classic shape has popped back up in various colours, materials and manifestations, like mirrors and wall art.
Starburst clock, $137, Umbra.
While new on the market and technologically up-to-speed, this toaster recalls Airstream travel and old-school diner breakfasts.

Just like mom made—a simple cake. This non-stick pan imprints a cheerful bouquet onto a baked treat. An easy, tasty recipe (included!) and a simple, light glaze is all it takes.
