How To Make Your Home Feel Fresh for the New Year

New Year. New you. New goals. But did you know that the key to all of these New Year aims might lie at home? After all, it’s where we feel most ourselves, where we come to relax, and where we spend most of our time outside of the office. So it stands to reason that giving your home a zen, calming makeover for New Year is likely to help you reach your goals and stick to your New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve got big plans for the new year and beyond, and want to style your space to suit, here’s how to make your home feel fresh.

1. Keep clutter under control

A tidy house really does equal a tidy mind, so if you want to create a home that’ll help you stay focused on your personal goals without distraction, keeping your clutter controlled and covered is essential. Invest in storage solutions in every room, making sure everything you own has a designated space. Options like a storage table or malachite round box, are great for your kitchen and office. Or you can go for the big ticket pieces like a Moroccan tiled cabinet that makes a great addition to your bedroom or living room.

2. Give your office an overhaul

If your goals this year are business focussed, crafting a home office that’s a tranquil haven – and a space you actually want to spend time in – should be an essential part of your New Year home decor refresh.

3. Make your kitchen a refreshing retreat

This means your kitchen should be one of your top priorities when it comes to updating your home for 2020. Our top tips?
