Get rid of the useless items that drain your energy and take up space. This will also help keep the clutter at bay and make the house cleaning more bearable. Fill your home with items that lift up your mood and make you feel good. Remove the belongings that you no longer use, love or wear and give them to charity. Cleaning out the unnecessary will free up space for the truly meaningful things.
Don’t Be a Slave to Trends

Instead of trying to copy the design from some magazine or site, find your unique personal style. Unless a trend truly resonates with your identity and outlook, you can skip the latest patterns, paints and decorative objects. Remember, trends are extremely transcendent. Create a space that will make you happy for years. The best strategy is to have a classic decorating scheme that can be refreshed with easy updates like blankets, throw pillows and light fixtures.

Take Risks
You may not live in a large mansion or fancy apartment, but this doesn’t mean that you can have your dream decor. Don’t settle for a safe, but boring interior. If you have some idea how you want your home to look, simply embrace it. Instead of thinking that this colour or detail will never work for your place, figure out an alternative. This year resolve to try new things. Even if it turns out as a mistake, at least you will know what not to do next time.
Add Some Colour
Often, what a home misses is a tinge of colour. The right tone can create a stylish contrast, highlight a certain feature or make your interior livelier. You don’t necessarily need to paint your entire home. Adding colourful details can have a tangible effect on your set up.
