20 Home decorating resolutions
When it comes to every New Year, we all make resolutions of some shape or form. Whether it’s Dry January, joining the gym or doing a spring cleaning of your wardrobe, we’ve all been guilty of saying we’ll do one new thing in the New Year… and oftentimes breaking it. So this year, set your sights on something more indulgent and rewarding, like home decorating! This is the time to create a new space for yourself. As trivial as it may seem, the environment around us influences our mood tremendously, so a ‘new year, new home’ really is interchangeable with ‘new year, new me’. Here are 20 tips & tricks to get you dreaming of your reimagined home!
Make Your Home a No-Shoes Zone
Some people feel a bit strange about asking visitors to remove their shoes upon entering their home, but if asked considerately, most people don’t actually care once they know their shoes are safe (from kids, pets, being lost, etc.) and once your home is warm enough to wander around without them. It will prevent dirt being constantly dragged in too. Have a designated area set up to leave shoes, you can even make it a decorated piece in itself like this pebble stone mat.
