Boulder, Colorado–(Newsfile Corp. – December 1, 2023) – It’s fair to say that everyone enjoys being free of aches and pains and having their muscles feel loose and relaxed. They’re pretty universal goals.

Not everyone takes action to pursue them, of course. Too often, people simply accept their discomfort as a function of being active, aging, etc. That’s unfortunate because greater comfort is achievable. It’s also regrettable that many think their only options for relief from aches and pains are simple massage tools.

Raise your hand if you have any of the following home massage tools gathering dust in your home:

  • Heating pads or microwaveable heat packs. Heat can increase the blood flow to an area, promoting healing. But these devices tend to be used only sporadically and provide modest improvements at best.

  • Massage sticks or canes. Many people purchase these tools believing that “If I could just reach my stiff and sore back muscles, I’d take better care of them.” It’s an admirable objective, but, in practice, the owner typically places the stick or cane within arm’s reach of their chair or bed initially, only to have it gradually move farther and farther away until it ends up unused in a closet somewhere.

  • Foam rollers. Rollers certainly can manipulate the back and shoulder muscles to a degree, but only in a relatively ineffective linear fashion. In time, most people find that the effort required to properly position themselves on the roller and move back and forth isn’t worth it. It may even be impossible for those with mobility issues. Soon, you can find the foam roller in the closet next to the massage cane.

  • Massage guns. These devices can definitely deliver powerful stimulation to the target area. But there are a couple of problems with them. The first is that it’s difficult to reach all the key spots on your back and shoulders with a massage gun. The second is that the device only massages a few square inches of “real estate” at a time. So, getting a full-body massage in this way takes a long session.

  • Electric neck, shoulder, and back massagers. These devices have many of the same drawbacks as massage guns, from their less-than-full-body contact to the difficulty of getting them into the ideal position to address a particular issue.

  • Calf and foot massagers. Yes, these tools can provide some relief to their focus areas. But it’s rare to find someone whose only issue is in their calves or feet.

Each device is useful for a particular purpose or specific area of the body but cannot provide holistic, whole-body relief. Ultimately, many people who use these tools would confess that getting an incomplete and ineffective massage is almost worse than getting no massage at all. It leaves them wanting a thorough, full-body experience that they have no way to obtain without visiting a massage therapist. And as they stew about their lack of access to effective bodywork, their muscles tighten that much more.

The Alternative to Massage Tools: An Advanced In-Home Massage Chair

If you’ve relied on massage tools in the past and struggled to get adequate relief and complete relaxation, you may have resigned yourself to your discomfort. Or, if you considered buying an in-home massage chair, you might have quickly dismissed the idea for any of several reasons–from your suspicion that chairs can’t truly deliver on their claims to their cost.

However, people who push through those doubts, do some research, and, most importantly, try massage chairs from several leading providers very quickly give their self-massage tools the heave-ho! Oh, they may hold on to the devices for a while, if only to amuse visitors, but once they own a massage chair, they never look back.

Why is that? There are several reasons, including:

  • A chair massage is an actual massage. Advanced massage chairs move in patterns designed to affect muscles in specific ways. Whether you need a deep, probing massage to address deep-seated issues or a light, relaxing session to help you wind down at the end of the day, the right chair can meet your needs. Some even have leading-edge choreography that faithfully reproduces the hand movements of a skilled massage therapist.

  • 24/7/365 access is incredible. Nothing beats getting an effective massage whenever you want or need one. If you decide to start your day with a vigorous session, your chair is there for you. If you have a few minutes of downtime between tasks in the middle of your day, your chair is there for you. If you wake up in the middle of the night sore and unable to fall back asleep, your chair is there for you.

  • Consistency delivers the best results. As noted above, most massage tools get used sporadically. A person might be diligent for a few days or even a few weeks, but soon they start to miss a session here and there, and that’s the beginning of the end for the device. A massage chair, on the other hand, is an inviting experience that’s truly hard to resist. Our customers frequently report they “can’t wait” for their next massage, partly because each session builds on the last, providing more profound healing and deeper relaxation. That can’t even be said for sessions with a skilled massage therapist–unless they live in your home and are on-call around the clock.

  • They come to appreciate the mind-body connection. Massage chair owners quickly learn that addressing muscle pain and tension affects their emotions and sense of well-being. Your stiff shoulders or that pain in your back may seem like a minor annoyance–that is, until you eliminate it. Then, as if by magic, your mood improves, and you just have a brighter outlook on life. Does that sound like an empty marketing promise? Talk with someone who has experienced chronic pain and then is freed from it by their massage chair. They’ll gladly set you straight.

If you’re sore or stressed, you owe it to yourself to think beyond your massage gun or foam roller and envision yourself getting regular full-body massages.

During the pandemic, having a plot of outdoor space at home was a godsend — a place to enjoy a chardonnay and a snack unmasked. And the drive to create intentional lounge-worthy spaces outdoors continues.

“I don’t know if there’s a correlation with COVID, but people are putting more focus on their outdoor spaces,” says Parris McKenna, the designer of Parris McKenna Interior Design Studio. “I’ve found a shift in the importance of outdoor furniture. People are setting up an actual zone to entertain.”

Article content

In fact, McKenna, who works primarily in Muskoka and Toronto, has fielded an uptick of requests for terrace features that extend the season.

“In a lot of my renovations, people are installing built-in heaters in the soffits in the porches or back decks, so you could sit out in early spring or fall,” McKenna says. “Or we’re putting in standing gas lanterns you would typically find in bars or restaurants.”

Light-coloured cushions and wood tones

In terms of the palette, “the sense of charm and durability of wood is popular,” McKenna says. “I’m seeing a lot of teak.”

The rustic brown is paired with neutral cushions such as white, sand or oatmeal-toned. “That California outdoor style of wood and light-toned cushions is trending,” says McKenna who often turns to CB2, Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn for her designs. “I like the bulkiness of their furniture.” The pieces have a strong presence on a patio.

For tight quarters, McKenna suggests forgoing a formal dining table. “I always lean towards a lounge. If you want to eat outside, you can make it work with a lounge but not vice-versa.” After all, there is an inherent casualness to being outside. “If you’re limited on space, you can eat on your lap.”

Richard  Bockner, the owner and principal at ARD Outdoor and partner of the Vondom flagship shop in Canada, has seen a pull to the lighter side, too.

From 2000 to 2020, we were seeing a lot of grey, charcoal and black,” Bockner says. “Everything in design and outdoor furniture was trending in darker colours from fabrics to frames,” he says. “Post-pandemic we’re seeing a movement towards lighter colours such as beige, light grey and white.”

His point is well-illustrated by the shop’s Gatsby line. Designed by Spanish architect Ramón Esteve, luxurious white cushions sit atop a resin base, which has an intricate fluting detail — a trend indoors, too, in glass and wood on everything from kitchen islands to cabinetry doors. Gatsby also comes with coordinating planters and lamps.

Modular magic and a flexible design for small spaces

Flexibility is also trending on the terrace. Burrow, makers of crisp, compact modular sofas and chairs — can be reconfigured on a whim.

“Modular seating is great for outdoors because it allows you to rearrange your outdoor setting as often as you’d like,” says Stephen Kuhl, co-founder and CEO of Burrow, referring to the brand’s Relay collection, which sports a slick powder-coated steel frame. “And modular pieces are easier to store indoors in the winter.”

Kuhl notes, “while neutral tones like grey are always popular for outdoor collections, we’ve seen off-white really pick up in recent years.”

To keep the pieces pristine if it rains or a squirrel stops by to couch surf, Burrow’s fabrics are weather-resistant. “The use of ultra-durable materials makes white fabrics in an outdoor collection possible,” Kuhl says. “Our Salt colourway has performed very well.”

Home Depot also makes a no-fuss design to kick off patio life in smaller spaces. “The Tuscan Hills Gazebo is an all-in-one solution for backyard relaxing or entertaining,” says Natalia David, trend and design manager for Home Depot Canada.

The set includes a corner gazebo with two adjustable privacy shades, a right-arm loveseat, a left-arm love seat, a side table, a coffee table and a C-table to support a laptop for work-from-home situations.

Terrazzo and concrete going strong

 Terrazzo, the speckled composite material that’s been jazzing up floors, accessories and backsplashes in the past few years, is also popular on the patio. The tables on Home Depot’s Tuscan Hills Gazebo feature a terrazzo-inspired finish.

Parris McKenna, meanwhile, says, “A lot of the accent furniture like coffee tables or side tables are big chunky terrazzo tables or concrete-style tables. There’s a focus on natural-looking materials.”

Katelyn Rempel, who runs an eponymous design firm in Toronto, and works in Los Angeles for HGTV’s Property Brothers, also favours terrazzo on the terrace.

“Indoor trends usually migrate outdoors,” she says. “Travertine, concrete and terrazzo are perfect outside,” says Rempel. “As is natural stone.” Think organic, misshapen tables that have a handmade quality.

Metals and colour

Rempel’s personal favourites, though, are colourful metals like pieces from the HAY collection she recently used on a patio project. “I love that you can see through the Palissade chair to provide an airy feeling,” she says of the slatted design. There’s also a lounge-chair version, a bench and a table. “And I love the deep oxblood red or green.” Ikea’s red or grey “Brusen” bench is another metal option.

Elana Safronsky, principal of Emme Design, also gives props to HAY’s Palissade line.

“This colourful collection perfectly straddles old and new, with a timeless and minimal slatted design.” If you’ve been in Paris, you might have noticed the iconic green steel chairs in their parks; they’re cult classics, Safronsky says.

“Imitations can be found in plastic, but these beauties are forged in powder-coated steel, making them extremely durable as well as a no-brainer style choice for traditional, transitional and modern gardens and exteriors. How could one argue when the original design was commissioned by the Paris parks department?”

A New York Interior Designer Shares 3 Hot and 2 Dated Home Trends

  • NYC interior designer Bennett Leifer outlined what's in and what's out right now.
  • Textured walls, hand-painted wallpaper, and bold headboards create subtle luxury that people want.
  • But the all-white look and overdressed windows have fallen out of favor.

People across New York City, the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut  seeking whimsical yet sophisticated interiors call on Bennett Leifer.

Leifer, who founded his New York City-based interior design firm nearly a decade ago, has his finger on the pulse of the design whims and wants of his clients, and those waning in popularity. 

He spoke with Insider about what his clients are seeking in their homes now, and the tired trends they're ready to leave behind.

The minimalist white box aesthetic that was so popular five years ago has given way to an appreciation for textures and techniques that embrace an Old World style of craftsmanship. 

"I think people are wanting their spaces to feel rich and unique to them," Leifer said. "They don't necessarily want to add a bold print to the wall, they don't necessarily want to paint a wild color. But they do want to have this subtle luxury — we're calling it personal richness."

He's used hand-painted wallpaper that features imagery personal to his clients and handmade Italian tiles laid in a pattern to reflect the roof of an adjacent New York City building that can be seen through a window. 

Lower-lift projects include adding Venetian plaster to walls rather than the standard paint job and adding velvet trim around the baseboard and door of a room to add in that "personal richness."

In: Statement-making headboards

Leifer's clients are more interested in big, bold headboards than ever before. 

He sees it as a response to the rise in catalog and online shopping and the pandemic's effect on the supply chain. 

"There was this whole wave towards getting the look for less, but then I think people started seeing a lot of the same thing," he said, adding that supply-chain issues inflated the "emotional frustration" of decorating a home.

"That's where I personally think a lot of the interest in making these unique, personal moments came about," he said.

Leifer has crafted an oversized arched headboard that mirrored a shape featured in the room's wallpaper. The oversized headboard is an opportunity to be playful. 

"You can bring levity into the design in a way that isn't like turning it into a kid's room," he said.

In: Functional pieces

In this era of the Instagram-perfect home, it's tempting to eschew functional furniture for something that's more aesthetically pleasing. 

But Leifer said his clients are becoming more practical than that. Case in point: The ergonomic chair, which isn't really known for its good looks. 

"I'm seeing more demand for things being what they should be and more conscious decisions in terms of health choices," he said. "For example, we're doing a study and we're buying the prettiest ergonomic chairs we can find, because it's important to have good back support. Whereas in the past, it may have been a club chair style on a swivel caster base."

Herman Miller's Aeron chair is the gold standard for ergonomic chairs, and is about as streamlined-looking as they come. They start around $1,200. Branch Furniture's less costly options start around $330. 

Out: All-white everything

Defaulting to white is out. Instead, Leifer said it's become a more intentional choice to use white.

Leifer said his clients aren't using white as a fallback anymore, but rather an intentional decision. It boils down to people, after spending a few years at home, really wanting to have a personalized space that speaks to their own aesthetic.

"If you're using it, it's an intentional decision," he said. While clients are still interested in white kitchen cabinetry and white bathrooms, for instance, it's because "they want it to feel crisp," and not just because it's an old standby.

Out: Overdone curtains

Be gone tassels and reams of drapes: Simplicity and intention are the name of the game when it comes to dressing up windows now. 

"It has to finish a space to a certain degree," Leifer said, but clients aren't falling back on the old rulebook. 

Instead they're curious to experiment with new touches, like the project where Leifer's using bronze casings around windows. It's not dressing windows for the sake of dressing them — it's all about intention.

Margaret, 55, bought the house for $2.2M with her husband Joe Benigno, 66.

According to Bravo, they bought the 115-year-old house as a renovation "project," but had no idea the amount of work they were walking into.

The massive mansion sits on a 2.8 acre lot of land in the New Jersey woods.

Margaret and Joe took out a little over a $1 million dollar loan to secure the property before beginning renovations.

One a grey tile patio which extends out into the woods, Margaret had a massive stainless steel grill and stove installed.

She included a kitchen island, a dining table, and a lounge area with a lime green couch and giant hand chairs.

'VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD'

Most read in Entertainment

Margaret took Bravo cameras behind the scenes in her brightly patterned hot pink office.

The entire office wall was covered in a hot pink tropical print wall paper, which Margaret claimed kept her energized for the day.

Along with her desk equipped with lots of notebooks and planners, items in her office included a mock-tail bar cart and a Peloton.

Margaret was especially enthusiastic about her custom Barbie decor wreath.

It hung on a wall in her office and was made out of tinsel, sparkles, blond Barbie dolls and Christmas orbs.

The wreath included strings of pearls and custom beaded letters that spelled out words and names such as "queen," "Joe" and "Marg."

She said the wreath was a "real piece of art."

Margaret concluded her tour as she said her entire office space reminded her of "vintage Hollywood."

TOTAL TRANSFORMATION

Margaret also renovated her kitchen, which was originally built in 1956 and included a chimney and a built-in meat slicer.

The Housewife entirely removed the three-floor chimney from her home and gave the space a massive facelift.

She added a tile floor with a massive white and gold marble kitchen island.

The mansion also includes a ballroom with a full bar, a grand piano, a pool table, and a fireplace.

Margaret is also planning to renovate her library, which she is keeping fans all up to date with on her website.

BIG PROJECT

The Real Housewives star opened up to Bravo about the intense renovation process.

Margaret told Bravo: "This is a restoration as opposed to a renovation. Updating a 115-year-old house isn't like building a new house.

"I had a feeling it was gonna take a while. I mean, not this long."

She elaborated: "A renovation like this is not for the faint of heart."

As for working with Joe, Margaret had nothing but great things to say.

She gushed: "Joe and I are a great team. He really gives me carte blanche on the design, so we never disagree on the design aspect.

"He just hates it when I put time constraints on everything."
