Throughout the last couple weeks, I’ve been giving our place a refresh for the new year, which includes, deep cleaning certain areas, going through the cabinet or closet that’s become the “everything” spot, sourcing new or thrifted items to add into the home and placing items we already have in a new spot to give a fresh look. Although taking down the holiday decor and seeing my space bare again is sad, it’s also an opportunity for a home refresh. A refresh is always inspiring to me, and if it’s not yet for you, I’m hopeful this post can inspire you also! Here are some ways I’ve been refreshing our space:
- Add fresh flowers or plants to a space. Not only is this good for you, it also offers fresh life and color into any space.
- Add cozy layers. I did purchase new pillows for the couch, and this purchase had been a long time coming! I’ve been searching for an accent color I liked with our neutral couch and sage green felt like the right color. Pro tip–find pillows with covers that are removable so you have the option to switch out the cover in the future!
- Add color. I decided to add satin bows to our shower curtain, this changed and completed the whole space! This could be done through new photos printed out, flowers, pillows, blankets, etc.
- Rearrange pieces in a new place. I love the shelf I have in our kitchen because it’s fun to change for the seasons! I recently placed some pieces on the shelf that used to be in other spots and it gave the kitchen a fresh look without having to buy something new.
- Add mirrors. I found an oval mirror at the thrift store months ago that I loved. It really completed the soft peaceful feel of the bedroom. Mirrors are such a great way to open up a space and reflect in more light!
