As the seasons change, there is nothing better than letting all that energy become your inspiration to update your home. The shifting weather might be just what you need to freshen up your home with the latest and greatest styles. But while you might feel a strong desire for something new in your home, you might not have a clear picture in your mind what your new space is going to look like. That’s okay! There are so many different places you can look for inspiration, both online and in person. Let yourself get caught up in the enthusiasm and don’t let yourself get bogged down. We have some recommendations to help you to focus your energy and make great choices for your home.
The first step when it comes to revitalizing your home is deciding what can stay and what should go. Your budget is going to be a big part of the equation, but the other thing to consider is what is still working for you. When you look around your home, what pieces are standing out to you as still perfectly complementing your aesthetic? Capitalize on the things that are still working for you and decide how you can build that up to make a whole new design in any room in the house. Then, you can let yourself get inspired by the home décor ideas that you see around you!
We recommend starting by taking a look at what your friends and family are doing that you love. Often, when you visit people’s homes you might either be impressed by their style or else you might decide you don’t like the choices that they’ve made. Next time you go to someone’s house, decide what you love about it and what you would leave out. Maybe you adore their lighting choices but think that they could have picked a different color for their window dressings. Maybe their furniture is wonderfully comfortable but their wall colors are distracting. As long as you are paying attention, you can use any space to narrow down the options that you enjoy, from hotels that you stay at to home goods stores that you visit. Visualize the pieces that speak to you and imagine what they would look like in your home. Does that add to your new design? Does it complement the scheme you are creating? You can make the new year into a whole new you when you update your home one piece at a time.
