Five ways to refresh your home in the new year

The New Year is a great time to start fresh, and what better way to do that than by refreshing your home decor. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out these five ideas that will help you give your space a new look.

From updating your color scheme to adding some antique furniture pieces, there are plenty of ways to make your home feel new again. So get ready to ring in the New Year with a refreshed home that you'll love spending time in.

Add Bold, Statement Art

Antique wall decor can really add a bold, statement look to your home. When it comes to interior design, larger pieces tend to have the greatest impact. Think oversized mirrors and frames, as well as wall clocks and interesting sconces. Consider bringing in an antique frame and filling it with a curated selection of art prints or photographs.

For extra drama, opt for something with a pop of color that can be the focal point of any space. Antique wall decor can truly bring just the right amount of pizzazz to your living space this New Year!

Update your Home’s Color Scheme

Incorporating a new color scheme to your decor is a great way to refresh your home for the new year. Choosing a new color scheme can be as simple as selecting a few colors that you love, or it can be more complex, such as choosing colors that evoke a certain mood or feeling. 

For instance, if you want to create a farmhouse/rustic atmosphere, you might choose muted colors like browns and greens. If you want to make your home feel more energizing and lively, you might choose bright colors like yellows and oranges. Add these colors to your room by placing small, painted accent pieces such as cabinets and storage bins or a classic trunk. 

Add Life to your Space

If you're looking to give your home an antique-style makeover this New Year, adding life to the space with greenery and interesting objects is the perfect way to do it! Whether it's an indoor herb garden in terracotta pots or a small carved animal statue for extra depths and warmth, these additions can instantly give your living room a new ambience that you'll love.

Create a New Look with Accent Furniture and Accessories

If you’re looking to give your home an updated look in the New Year, accent furniture pieces and accessories are the perfect way to start! Antique furniture never goes out of style and adding one or two pieces can elevate your overall space.

For a classic antique chair that stands out, try a Black Forest chair. Another great option for making an impact is with an iconic piece like a German grandfather clock. It doesn’t just tell time – it adds character to the room, too!

Declutter and Organize Your ‘Everyday’ Things

Are your "everyday" things starting to pile up around the house? Is it becoming more of a challenge to find what you need, when you need it? This New Year can be the time for you to conquer clutter and get organized!

Furniture pieces like storage chests, ladders, and end tables are perfect for giving your home an updated aesthetic while providing the organization you need. Not only will they add an inviting feel to any space in your home, but they provide valuable storage solutions as well. Take advantage of this new year by looking into storage furniture to help de-clutter and organize your "everyday" things.

Now that we’ve provided some inspiration, it’s time to get started on your New Year home refresh. Have fun!
