A new year always brings possibilities! Maybe this year its time for a change in your home. This could be a simple color change, theme, or a complete change. Whatever you are looking to achieve this year, we have great tips for you:
1. Mood - In any space, its all about mood. What mood do you want to create? We all want to feel comfortable and enjoy a space that feels happy and joyful to come home to at the end of the day - What is the feeling you want to create? This is an important aspect of how you select the items and themes you want to choose for your home. Use scented candles, diffusers, or other scented items that create a sense of belonging. Scents are often anchored in memories, the smell of freshly cut grass, or cinnamon, they transport you to different times and places. Memories of cooking with your grandmother or other memories of home. Check out our blog on 'the power of scent to create an inviting home'
2. Color - Color is a huge mood enhancer when you choose the right color! Natural colors are always a great starting point - Warm whites, creams, beige, earthy tones like beige terracotta, and soothing colors like green, blue and lavender. Look out for the latest colors for 2025. If changing the color is not an option, try swapping out the pillow covers on your sofa, or add plants or flowers.
3. Sustainability - Recycling an old piece of furniture, or upcycling it is a great way to reuse items you already have in your home. Old furniture items are often very sturdy and solid, and are built to last. Stripping it back or repainting it can be an amazing way to create a new look, avoid waste, and is cost effective if you have the time. You can also try moving things around in your home. I have changed rugs around in my home to give a different look and this works brilliantly.
