New Year's Resolutions for Your Home

BACK

We often make New Year’s resolutions to better our future selves. From exercising more often to reading every day, there are plenty of ways to emphasize a healthier lifestyle. However, you shouldn’t neglect your home when it comes to making changes for the year to come. More time is spent at home than anywhere else, especially considering the recent past. Make it a top priority to turn your interior into an inspiring sanctuary. A well-decorated, well-maintained home can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life. From wall art to refurbishments, follow our expert ideas for how to make a positive change this new year.

Add a Trendy Touch

Add a top trending piece of décor for 2024 before the year is in full swing! Get ahead of the upcoming trends and wow your guests with your stylish knowledge. Even if you don’t want to redo your entire living space, there are several ways to add a hint of style without breaking the bank or throwing out old décor. Consider a piece of wall art to liven up your communal areas. Explore our “Geometric Wall Sets” collection, curated by art director Tirzah Goodman.

Trending Color Palettes

There are several trending colors that you should add to your home ASAP. Cool, calming greens are at the top of every list of designer predictions. Warm neutrals like beige and sand are also replacing cool tones like grey and white. Don’t forget to add a splash of Pantone’s recent Color of the Year: Very Peri (periwinkle purple.)

Define Your Interior Style

It’s also essential to create a cohesive space. Your interior speaks volumes about you, so it should reflect your personality. Determining a single style to pepper throughout your home is key. Decide whether you are a minimalist or maximalist. Then opt for a classic or contemporary theme. Are you more inspired by nature or manmade marvels? If you’re a free spirit, consider a carefree, bohemian look. The possibilities are endless, and your home ultimately feel true to you.

Go for a Green Approach

Prioritize an eco-friendly space next year. Environmental threats like climate change are creeping up quicker than we’d like to acknowledge, but everyone can do a small part to protect the earth. Change your lights to energy-saving bulbs, and choose furniture made out of repurposed and recycled materials. Check your home’s energy usage through your power company, and inquire on ways to cut down overall. You can even swap out your outdoor lighting to solar-power!

Rearrange and Reorganize

If you want to refresh your space, sometimes all you need to do is rearrange your belongings. Follow feng-shui to create a healthy flow of energy. It’s also the perfect time to get rid of anything that you don’t need! Decluttering is super important to maintain a clear mindset. Besides going through your belongings, consider applying stylish organizational systems like shelves, low-profile drawers, and multi-purpose storage furniture like benches.

Take Time to Fix & Mend

Remember that knob that fell off your kitchen drawer last year? Or, that leg that’s a little loose on your favorite living room chair? There’s no time like the present when it comes to completing the little repairs you’ve been putting off. Whether it’s a major project like repolishing the floors, or a fix as small as painting a small piece of furniture, get it done before 2024 picks up!

Start Putting Safety First

Certain repairs are necessary for the safety and structural integrity of your home. Get your home checked for environmental aggressors like mold or termites. Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are functioning, and replace your batteries in your fire detectors. Safety is especially important for a child-friendly space. Take a second look at your child’s playroom or bedroom, and make the necessary changes to ensure a safe and comfortable area.
