The holiday season is winding down and we prepare for another year ahead of us. Why not get a fresh start to the year in your home? Read below to get a few tips on how to kick off the New Year to a sparkly tune!
Get Rid of Clutter
There's no better way of starting fresh than getting rid of extra stuff! Nothing can make you feel more frazzled than having your home feel out-of-sorts. A clean home with less also looks less shabby and more put together. Start by getting rid of stuff you no longer use/ want and either donate, sell, or recycle. This could include old children's toys, random knick-knacks, CDs, DVDs, etc., that take up unnecessary space. For things you must keep, try creative storing strategies like woven baskets or an updated storage ottoman to open up space while providing functionality.
Change Your Lighting
Mood lighting, anyone? Lighting can have a significant impact on how each room feels in your home. Bright, overhead lights are exhausting and make it hard to relax. You can soften the scene by adding a pair of vintage lamps to your living room. Perhaps investing in sconces for your entryways/hallways could do the trick. Maybe your kitchen could use a pendant light (or two). Dimmer switches are also a great investment where possible. There are many ways where lighting tweaks can better serve in your quest to wind down after a hard day's work.
Simple Changes
You don't have to break the bank to give your home a nice pick-me-up. Try something bold like a beautiful accent wall in the living room. Why not spice up those kitchen cabinets with a fresh coat of paint? Something as simple as adding a few accent pieces, like a tasteful set of vases, a new painting, or a fresh set of curtains, can add that little pizzazz your home has been craving. Adding a mirror or two can help add a fresh level of dimension to you home as well.
