A stylish start: new year's resolutions for your home
As we bid farewell to another year, we reflect upon the growth and change that has taken place within the various facets of our lives. Whether it be the accomplishment of a personal goal or a significant event that has left an indelible mark on your journey, these life-changing moments we've encountered, minuscule or grand, guide us in shaping who we are. When we ponder the year that has quickly surpassed us, we acknowledge that purpose our homes have filled, being an anchor of resilience and unwavering support. More than a physical space, our homes have bear witness to the ebbs and flows of our lives, from the moments of joy to the challenges we may have faced. Our walls absorbed the echoes of laughter, the quiet moments of thought, and the shared experiences that empowered the connections within. The journey into a new year is an invitation to refresh our lives, to create a life filled with joy, purpose, and intent. Crafting resolutions for your home involves a thoughtful and intentional approach of delving into the depths of your creativity, passions and necessities. Aligning your personal objectives with the goals of your home allows for a design that is filled with purpose, comfort and innovation. As we outline a few New Year's resolution ideas for crafting a stylish new start in the coming year, we invite you to be inspired by your transformative experiences to further shape the ones to come. Declutter & Simplify Every home refresh should begin with a fresh canvas. The act of decluttering and simplifying your home is a task that should not be overlooked, and instead, be the start of your home revitalization. Begin by ridding of any objects that are not considered an everyday essential or ones that will not be missed. Decluttering brings a sense of harmony and clarity to the home, allowing you to successfully spearhead any home projects in the works or aid in sparking creativity when it comes to redesigning. Clearing away the unnecessary not only streamlines your surroundings but also paves the way for a more purposeful and inspired approach to transforming your living space. Practice Organizational Skills An organized space will make your home life easier, help reduce stress and bring balance to your household. The practice of organization goes beyond the initial decluttering stage and requires consistent effort to maintain order, further extending towards creating a system that enhances efficiency and the quality of life, for both family and friends. It is best to set specific organizational goals, whether that may be decluttering living spaces, optimizing your workspaces or balancing tasks between household members. Implementing storage solutions, such as shelves and containers helps to keep items in their designated places and out of view. Developing a routine for daily tidying and weekly cleaning prevents clutter from accumulating and maintains the overall serenity of your house. Implement A Cleaning Routine Create a more pleasant and positive environment within your home by establishing a structured cleaning schedule. By implementing a daily or weekly cleaning routine, you will upkeep the maintenance of the objects that fill your space and create an enjoyable foundation of comfort and peace. Weekly activities may include vacuuming, dusting, and wiping surfaces, while monthly tasks could involve deeper cleaning, such as washing curtains, cleaning windows, or organizing specific areas. Keeping your space as clean as possible will allow your time spent indoors to be an overall wonderful experience. Upgrade Everyday Essentials Enhancing your everyday routines begins by updating your everyday essentials. Upgrading your appliances and day-to-day objects, whether it be dinnerware, furniture, linens or kitchen supplies, transcends functionality as it contributes to the comfort and joy of daily rituals. As you invest in the finer details of your daily life, you not only enhance the quality of your surroundings but also cultivate a heightened appreciation for the beauty found in life's everyday routines. These small but significant upgrades can have a profound impact on your day-to-day life, fostering an atmosphere of refinement and elevating the ordinary into the extraordinary. Experiment With Your Decor As you embrace the transformation that comes with the new year, venture into the realm of experimenting with your decor. Consider juxtaposing contrasting styles, playing with a variety of colors, or introducing unconventional elements that defy norms or transcends what you are familiar with. Push the boundaries in your home and allow your creativity to guide you to rewrite the rules of design. This experimental spirit breathes life into your decor, turning it into a dynamic reflection of your ever-evolving taste. In the journey of experimentation, each change is not just a decor shift but a celebration of self-expression and the endless possibilities that lie within your personal sanctuary. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone The start of a new year is the opportunity for a clear beginning, one that allows your creativity to flow, as you redefine and push the boundaries in your home design. Although we create space for what is familiar to us, stepping out of your comfort zone when it comes to designing opens the door for many possibilities in your home life. Trying new styles, bringing in varying color palettes, or experimenting with art will allow you to branch out from the norms of your tradition. Refraining from what you are comfortable with beckons you to be audacious, to explore uncharted territories within decor, bringing you a fresh sense of energy and excitement. By embracing what you're unfamiliar with, you not only allow for evolving renewal but also unlock a potential for continuous growth. Personalize Your Space Personalizing your living spaces is an invitation to infuse your home with the essence of your unique identity and the charm of your character. Each room can become a canvas where your personal narrative unfolds, crafting a space that not only reflects your aesthetic preferences but also serves as a substantial timeline of your journey. Creating a home that is unique to your personality involves selecting furniture and accessories that align with your preferences, whether it's the warmth of wooden textures, the sleekness of modern designs, or the coziness of eclectic furnishings. This resolution encourages you to be deliberate in your choices, ensuring that each decor element contributes to the overall tapestry of your personal style. Create A To-Do List As the year comes to an end, it is time to reflect upon any home renovations or maintenance jobs that are necessary, and craft a to-do list that will transform your aspirations into tangible accomplishments. Begin by understanding what your goals are for your space; a revitalized ambiance, altering the functionality of your living areas, or creating a system of organization. Once you envision your larger intentions for your house, spend time breaking down these into actionable tasks, such as reorganizing a particular room, ridding of specific items, or rearranging furniture. Creating a weekly or monthly to-do list will guide your in remaining organized by knowing where to place your energy and effort into. Invest In Maintenance If you have invested in the maintenance of your home over the past few years, it is crucial to continue to do so. Investing in the maintenance of your home is a prudent decision that pays dividends in the form of longevity, comfort, and value. By making a commitment to regular upkeep, you will safeguard your living sanctuary against wear and tear, ensuring a resilient and aesthetically pleasing environment. From the foundation to the roof, each component of your home benefits from a proactive approach to maintenance. Cultivate A Green Thumb In the spirit of the new year, cultivating a green thumb becomes a journey of self-discovery and mindfulness. Welcome the year by acquiring a passion for greenery and transforming your home into a haven filled with organic beauty. Adorning with lush greenery, such as flowers in statement vases or an abundance of indoor plants, you are fostering a symbiotic relationship with nature within the confines of your home. Natural elements in your space does more than bring a sense of life into it, rather it adds a soothing touch of vibrancy and color. The act of nurturing plants can become a therapeutic and fulfilling aspect of your daily routine. Take the time to observe the subtle changes in your plants, celebrate their growth milestones, and learn from any challenges you may encounter. Embrace Sustainability Embarking on the journey to improve energy efficiency within the home is a conscious commitment to sustainable living. By strategically upgrading lighting systems, investing in smart thermostats, and sealing air leaks, you can significantly reduce your environmental footprint while enjoying the practical benefits of lowering energy use and costs. Update Your Front Entry Your front entryway serves as the welcoming threshold to your home, setting the tone for what awaits inside. Updating your front door decor creates an inviting and aesthetically pleasing introduction to your living sanctuary. Most homeowners tend to overlook this task, however, maintenance of your front entryway reflects a commitment to extending your home's style beyond its interior, making a lasting impression right at the doorstep. Bidding farewell to the past year prompts introspection, acknowledging the transformative moments that have left their mark on our individual journeys. Our homes, more than physical spaces, emerge as crucial witnesses to the tapestry of our lives, offering comfort and strength within life's diverse challenges. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, the prospect of refreshing our lives and homes becomes an inspiring canvas of possibilities. Crafting resolutions for our living spaces becomes a purposeful and intentional pursuit, aligning personal aspirations with the essence of our homes. As we explore the paths of a new start, may the lessons and experiences of the past guide us in creating not just living spaces but sanctuaries that speak to the ever-evolving stories of our lives. As we close out the year, we'd like to extend our gratitude towards our exceptional community and customers.

New Year, New You: Ways To Refresh Your Home In The New Year
The new year is officially here, and with that means welcoming new opportunities and fresh starts. It's a great time to start building out your goals and to do list, so you can map out the ways in which you'd like to welcome change into your life. As we embark on this journey of transition within our everyday lives, let's talk about the ways to refresh your home this year. Although adding changes to your decor can seem intimidating and time consuming, you don't always need to make drastic changes to give your home the upgrade you're aiming for. Updating your house can be through rearranging furniture or by adding in the small touches that make the biggest differences. Whether that means applying a fresh coat of paint to your walls, going through your junk drawers, or discovering those new additions for your home, there are many ways to easily refresh the look of your decor that will help you start the new year off in an exciting way. So if you're looking for a fresh start when it comes to your home decor this year, ready to make those impactful ways to welcome change, or are a home decor enthusiast, we are here to provide a few helpful tips to guide you in the right direction, one room at a time! Get Rid of What You Don't Need In need of a good deep cleaning or wanting to go through that junk drawer you haven't had the time to get to? The best way to restart your home design this year is to get rid of the pieces you no longer need, love or want anymore. Not only will this help you gain the momentum to begin redecorating and rearranging your space, this will help you assess which items you'd like to replace or which items you have room to add into your home. Once you have ridden of the pieces that no longer bring you joy, you will make room for those brand new essential items and accessories that will heighten your home to new levels. Making space for new pieces will also provide a sense of inspiration as it allows you to see your home from a different and exciting perspective that you may have not felt before. Rearrange Your Furniture Depending on your budget, you don't always have to spend a ton of money to refresh and reset your home decor. Take the pieces you already have and rearrange them to create a new layout and add new life into your decor. This is one of the easiest ways to take the pieces you love and create something new without the pressure of switching everything up. Start by deciding what room you are looking to change, and come up with a plan on where to place each item. Remember to always keep the function of the room in mind when you decide on where each item will go. It can also be helpful to start with the largest furniture in the room, as this will take the majority of the space. Switching pieces from room to room, like art work or table accessories, can help you achieve a redefined look for the space you are rearranging. If you feel like changing up the appearance of your pieces, while still rearranging your current ones, try swapping out some of your furniture items or adding in new accessories that will enhance the look of what you currently have. For example, swapping out pieces for a new lamp, coffee table or vase, can completely change the atmosphere within a room and make your current furniture stand out like never before. Enhance Your Living Space With Fresh Scents Create an environment you love with a new aroma. An excellent way to revive your home is to add fresh scents into your space, especially with candles or diffusers. Adding in a new, refreshing fragrance will create an ambiance that will spark warmth, transition, and a fresh air that will captivate you, your household, and your guests the minute they walk into your home. Start your new year with our signature scent of White Tea, with our Crystal Candle and new Bel-Air Scent Diffuser. Our customer-loved scent will have your home smelling beautifully, with the gentle and natural scent of white tea ginger that is combined with a slight hint of musk and vanilla. A perfect, versatile aroma to showcase throughout the remainder of Winter and as we embark upon Spring. Add In New Accessories & Wall Art If you find yourself wanting to gradually shift the style of your house or ready to swap out a few pieces you've been meaning to rid of, the easiest way to do so while making a huge impact is by decorating with a new piece of wall art or styling with table accessories. This way, you can easily liven up your decor without the commitment and hassle of moving around furniture or larger items, and without having to redesign your entire room. Not only are you able to move these items into any room you choose, but they are versatile pieces that can truly change the focus of any area they are placed in. Changing up your wall art will add a refreshing dynamic into your space, and add a beautiful touch of personality as well. After all, artwork is used as a mirror of our self-expression, so why not change your wall artwork as the year changes. Updating and adding in new table furnishings is a fun, creative and manageable way to gradually implement small and simple changes towards a bigger impact. It is ideal for subtly altering the mood of your home as the year goes on, especially if you are looking to build upon a new interior style. Mix In New Shapes and Textures Feeling like your space needs to be spiced up? The trendiest style to make way into the home this upcoming year is by layering multiple textures and shapes, as it invites a natural and relaxing feel. Heighten any table scape, shelves, or bedroom by layering with various textures, like wood, marble, terracotta, or concrete. Use fun shapes within your area, such as curved sculptures like our Goddess Sculpture, unique vases like our Valentina Ringlet Vase, or with enticing candleholders like our Ebony Candelabra collection. Play around with textures that provide warmth and character, such as that of our Tierra Vessel, Marbella Beech Coffee Table, or Bellari Sofa. Whichever you choose, you can never go wrong with adding multiple textures throughout a room to create an astonishing focal point. Set Your Home Decor Goals With every new year means new goals, so setting your home decor goals can be essential as a reminder of what you are looking to achieve within the year. To do this, you can create a list, whether that be on a planner or calendar, to jot down any specific interior design goals you are looking to meet. Some goals may be more long term or strenuous than others, so keep this in mind as you set plans for a particular timeline. Getting rid of previous home decor allows you to make way for any goals or updates you were looking to achieve in the new year, but it can also be key to map out what is attainable for each month or week.
