A new year often brings thoughts of refreshing and renewing not only ourselves but also our living spaces as well. As the holiday decor comes down we are often left with a blank canvas, which makes for the PERFECT time to refresh your space.

Here are some simple ways to refresh your space for the new year.

1. Repurpose old family treasures to give THEM a new life.

One of the biggest design trends we will see in 2023 is the repurposing of vintage items and family heirlooms. This is a great trend to hone in if you are looking to make a change, but don’t quite want to break out the wallet to purchase anything new.

You can simply repurpose, reupholster, or just reposition a piece you already had lying around and completely transform your space without spending a dime.

2. Declutter/reorganize your shelves and decor accents.

Throughout the days, weeks, and months of the year we are accustomed to accumulate items that possibly don’t serve us or our space. A new year is a great time to evaluate your shelves and cabinets to reorganize and redecorate as well as declutter your space.

3. Add in pops of color

Adding in pops of colors in the form of a new lamp, coffee table restyling, or simply some throw pillows and comfy blankets. You may even get a little crazy and repaint an accent wall or a whole room. If so, we recommend Sherwin Williams’s Color of The Year, Redend Point, or Pantone’s Color of the Year Viva Magenta to keep it fun and colorful!


4. Fresh plants & flowers.

Adding in seasonal flowers to your home is a great way to help the transition from the holidays to the new year. It’s also an additional way to add in a pop of colors as well as  fun textures! Having house plants or flowers in your home is proven to boost your mood, productivity, concentration, and creativity. All of which are great things to harvest as we head into a new season in this new year.

5. Give your art new life.

Art is such a great addition to any space. Different pieces can also look different in every space in which it is displayed. If you are looking for a simple and affordable way to change things up a bit in your home, something as simple as repositioning your artwork is a great place to start.
