Are you ready to get a new vibe into your house this new year? Well, the change begins not just for you but also from your home decor and look. So let this new year resolve to change old ways and the world in an organized and systematic way by taking serious note of the designs of your home.
You may opt for a traditional or modern look, there are several things in your home that are outdated, and you need to move on from them. Though you may have convinced yourself to buy these home items, now they do not fit into your space or are not functional to you. This is the time you need to get off these items that you have your heart on but are reluctant to move out.
Back Off Coffee Table Books
Books were a thing in most houses before the advent of technology. However, to get your young and kids to read novels is not very convincing with technological advancement because kindle is there for their rescue. Instead of loading your table with books, you can use the space for decor pieces or even logos and puzzles that will convince your kids to the tea table. Also, when you cover your tables and cabinets with books, you invite layers of dust particles that need to be cleaned very often. Clear the old book stock and space for newer books you gulp in for the next few months.
Farewell, Flower Vases
In your fancy world, you may feel that the super huge vases along with fresh blooms are connecting you with nature. Still, the reality is these vases occupy a considerable amount of space and are also spot when a lot of dust gets accumulated. Also, vases and artificial flowers are old ways of decorating your house. Instead of natural indoor greens that will truly enhance the beauty of your walls.
Glass vases would be your first preference. However, you need to look beyond glass because even a clay pot can be considered a luxurious item if designed neatly in today’s era. Moreover, if you are tight on your budget, you can even purpose old mason jars, wine bottles, and other glass bottles containing freshly bought flowers.
Say Goodbye To The Overstuffed Bar
Being minimalistic is in vogue, and this stands true for any item in your house. While a bar may give your home a high-grade progressed feeling, overcrowding it with alcohol bottles is a significant no. A bar is more for usage than just showcasing, and you ought to get rid of those expired bottles because they cannot be consumed and are taking space for newer bottles. If you feel that an empty bar doesn’t give a great impression about your social life, you can instead spend a little more and invest in alcohol or wines that last for several years. However, you own the duty of constantly cleaning the corners and making these bottles look shiny and new.
Refresh Your Furniture
Are you still stuck on some 1980’s furniture patterns? While you may emotionally connect with the old furniture in your house, it is time to discover newer styles that will fit your style. Say bye to the traditional ways of furniture, including wood carvings which occupy much of your living space. Play with the colors because black, white, and brown are too mainstream and monotonous. Go for shades that will contrast your walls and fill the corners with cushions that make you comfy while you have a nap on them.
Decorate your home as you see fit, be it Spartan or cluttered, it is your living space & not a
“showroom” for the public. Keeping it clean is the main objective for most of us unless you’re a slob or a pig (we have family who are both)
