Refreshing Your Home For The New Year!

As we begin to settle into January, the excitement and enthusiasm for change in a new year can become a challenge once the holiday décor comes down and New Year’s resolutions are broken within the first week. So how do you maintain the “resolve” that is at the core meaning of “resolution,” in order to keep the momentum for change and improvement?

One approach is to set more obtainable goals for ourselves. Instead of directing resolve only at your personal image, try directing that resolve toward your most intimate surroundings—your home.

If resolving unfinished home decor projects interests you for addressing the unresolved in your world, here are some helpful ideas for putting a creative spin on New Year’s resolutions.

Hooker Furniture’s Joli Nesting Ottomans from the Melange Collection are a stylish perk-me-up idea after the holiday decorations come down and the house seems bare.

Small items of accent furniture can bring fresh and new visual interest to any room. The ottomans in the photo above not only have great aesthetics, but can also be used for additional storage as well.

The gorgeous Allure Mirrored Chest from Hooker Furniture’s Melange Collection can help fill the void left behind from where there were once twinkling lights and glittery ornaments.

Visually stunning accent pieces replace what the eye is missing in the room, gratifying the need for change. Once the pieces are introduced to the space, follow through the remaining remnants of a design project can usually come easily at this point- giving us just the right amount of nudge that we may need.

Another proactive way to bring resolve to complicated issues is to de-clutter your spaces and become more organized. Beautiful furniture pieces that have a function such as storage or housing the television and entertainment equipment can accomplish a lot in making you feel serene and satisfied in your space.. Nothing depletes the look of a well designed room quite like clutter and displaced items. Even in the most well put together room, disorganization can ruin the feel within the space.

Style is important when it comes to a major purchase, but to fill the need for organization, function and scale is just as important, as seen in this Home Theater from Hooker Furniture’s Harbour Pointe Collection.

Furniture pieces with decorative purpose; as well as a practical place for storage, can serve as a great anchor piece in a well designed room. The opportunity to place items within view as well as out of view, offers more options for the use of the piece, which can bring years of function and visual enjoyment within the space.

Being kind to yourself in your home space is also important, and there’s no better way than with a lovely and comfortable upholstered club chair that is all your own. Sam Moore Furniture offers one of the largest selections of quality chairs and fabrics in the furniture industry.

So before you plan a diet program that may be doomed for failure, be willing to consider a more creative approach for improving your way of life instead. Lots of small steps in the right direction can lead up to a series of successes. The personal satisfaction that comes from being more accomplished by finishing what you have started is quite fulfilling.

Now is the time to install those lights you bought and get them out of their now dusty boxes. Finish decorating your daughter’s bedroom before she is old enough to leave for college for heaven’s sake! And has the man cave in the unfinished basement that you started turned into more of a clutter cave?

There’s no better time than the present for getting a jump start toward being well on your way to making this a year full of personal accomplishments, while refreshing the look of your home for the New Year.
