With the festivities coming to an end, it is time to prepare your home for 2023. We all know the New Year brings fresh opportunities and new beginnings so why not extend this to your home too? We have compiled a list of 6 easy tips and tricks to create the home of your dreams this January.
1. Organise your everyday essentials
It’s often the little things that can lead to a cluttered and busy home. So, take the time to organise your everyday essentials. Creating an organisation station in your home is an easy yet effective solution. Install pegs for bags and coats, add a shoe rack, and purchase a calendar to keep the whole family in the loop. These little changes to your home will help to clear your personal space and your head space when returning home from a busy day. Clean home happy mind!
2. Remove seasonal clutter
Following on from our previous tip, get rid of that seasonal clutter! Whether that be putting the Christmas tree straight in the loft (and not leaving it in the spare room for the rest of the year!) to packing away those winter items of clothing that you won’t wear until next December, take the time to get rid of that seasonal clutter. Invest in some storage boxes that will take away the stress by knowing exactly where everything is!
3. Up-cycle Old Furniture
We all know just after Christmas money can be tight but creating a new feel to your home doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Why not upcycle some of your old furniture to give it a new look and feel or if you are craving some colour, incorporate it into your home with cushions and throws.
4. Support your New Year's resolutions
New Year is the time for a fresh start and creating new habits. But a stumbling block and the reason why many of our New Year's resolutions don’t last past January, is that we don’t have the space for our new habit. So, to help support them we would suggest creating a space for your new habit. Whether this be creating a tranquil corner for meditation or converting a spare bedroom into a workout space, by adapting your home to fit your new hobbies you are more likely to stick to them.
5. Treat Yourself
We are all guilty of putting everyone else first over the festive months. Well, the New Year is all about putting yourself first and for us proud homeowners, we would love nothing more than creating homes that we love! So why not treat yourself this January with a new curtain or blind handmade by our specialists. Put your feet up and let us create your dream bespoke curtains that are guaranteed to transform your space.
6. Add Colour
Minimalism has been the go-to over the past two years but it's time for change! Did you know that yellow interiors are great for uplifting your mood and can help to increase energy levels! Or why not add a pop of pink, which research has shown to calm nerves and help relieve feelings of anger! Take a look at Country Livings blog post when choosing the next colour scheme for your home.
