MK Life Tips: Ways to Refresh Your Home for the New Year

There’s no better way to kick off the new year than with a little at home refresh. Out with the old and in with the new! Set out a fresh bouquet of flowers, change up your decor, do a deep clean and light a new candle , or maybe even rearrange your furniture to give your home a new feel. For more ideas on resetting your home for the new year, check out the list below:

Paint 

Paint is the easiest way to make a huge difference in any space. If you are ready to roll your sleeves up and do a little work the impact will be huge. Make sure you go for maximum impact–pick a new color that is a far departure from your current one. If you have dark walls go lighter with a crisp white pallete. If you are normally fearful of color try going dark with a navy or charcoal room.

Liven it Up

Add some live elements into your space to inject color and texture–without breaking the bank. Display them in fun new jars or woven baskets to add even more impact! Set out a bouquet of flowers, a bowl of lemons, or a decorative woven basket display.

Update Your Art

Switching out just a few pieces that hang on your walls can inject new life and color into a space. If you have already invested money in your frames try finding a few “instant print” art options from Etsy and slide them in front of your current pictures. You don’t have to make a big investment to get a big visual change!

Mix in a New Pattern. 

Switch out a few throw pillows on your sofa or shams on your bed with a fresh new pattern. I love the options at Furbish Studio!  They even sell them in suggested sets, so it takes the guess work out of mixing and matching various colors and patterns!

Rearrange What You Have

 If one of your resolutions is to save money don’t feel like you can’t also refresh your home too. Rearrange what you already have to give each room a fresh new perspective. For maximum impact relocate and mix items from one room to another.
