As the New Year begins, it’s time to set your sights on the new projects of the year. If you’ve been meaning to tackle a home task for many months, January is a fantastic time to begin, getting your year off to a good start. So, when writing your usual list of New Year’s resolutions be sure to remember to add a few that relate to your home. These resolutions should help to make your life easier in the long term, and help you to enjoy your space to the full.
Get Organised
The New Year is the perfect time to combat the clutter in your home and to get organised and stay organised. De-cluttering can be very therapeutic, and will help you to enjoy your space to the full. However, it’s all well and good getting rid of the rubbish, but why not go one step further and make it your aim to give everything in your house a home? You may want to evaluate the usefulness of any objects that don’t have a home, as it might be a clear sign that it is time to have a clear out!

Embrace Minimalism
Minimalism was a massive trend in 2017, specifically within the home. Instead of filling your home with cheap trinkets or ornaments which have no unique value to you, why not opt for something more personalised, such as a canvas? Canvases make great presents to loved ones and are great alternatives to framed pictures or displays. Select a few important image from your life and place them carefully around your home. Every time you look at one, you'll be transported to the moment and it'll put a smile on your face. This way of living helps to keep your house looking cleaner and fresher with less of the effort.

Invest in Quality Over Quantity
Make 2018 your year to make a change and start choosing quality over quantity. Items such as furniture, kitchenware and even wallpaper are available in a wide range of budgets, but picking a quality product with a slightly higher price tag will often pay off in the long run. If you invest in pieces that are built to last then you’re investing in the future, and helping the environment whilst doing so.
Make it Your Own
Trends and fads come and go on a weekly basis; however, the most important thing to remember when it comes to decorating your home is to make it your own! Take inspiration from the designs and images you see online, in magazines and in your friend’s homes, but put your own personal twist on it. This will help you enjoy your home to its full potential and let your own creative juices run free!
