Perhaps, it comes with tradition that most of you would indulge in retrospection with your life choices and wishful accomplishments every coming of a brand new year. This is the perfect opportunity for you to make your New Year's resolutions and keep promises to it. 

New Year's resolutions not only apply to your career growth, personal relationships, or own well-being -- in fact, this is a great chance for you to set goals for your home too. Finally, you can revamp and revive your home for that fresh, new aura. Here at Homify, we welcome the New Year to you with 6 awesome design resolutions you can keep and bring to your prosperous home. 

1. Keep your house open and inviting

What’s not to love about a house that screams “Welcome” right at your front patio? Greet the New Year by creating that perfect outdoor enclosure to welcome all blessings right into your home. Got some extra space on your front yard? Consider building a terrace, a porch, or even a wooden deck like this design above. The stairs will also make your guests feel like they’re walking up to a grand entrance of your humble home.

2. Add more greenery to your home

A little dash of greens will go a long way, but why not flourish your home with more plantings and ornamentals? Not only does it provide you that aesthetic beauty for your back and front yard, but they offer a good amount of help for your health as they decrease stress, remove indoor pollutants and even make you feel peaceful. This new year, grow in prosperity like how these pretty plants grow in bloom – and remember, make sure you don’t forget to take care of them. Provision of adequate sunlight, good soil, and regular watering will keep your green and foliage healthy and blooming for the whole year.

3. Keep everything spacious and clutter-free

There is a de-cluttering movement that speaks to home dwellers as a way of making space for beauty and a zen mentality. After purging items that are holding both physical and emotional space, store them in reliable bins and keep them free from sight especially in outdoor seating areas. This will promote a more airy and spacious feel to the room and avoids all the unnecessary clutter.

4. Be more creative with your decorative accents

Using bold colors and fun patterns in the home, a design trend seen all over the place this year (and not going anywhere soon), is a sure way to quickly revamp an interior design with exciting impact. Monochromatic color schemes and muted colors are wonderful palette options, but maybe 2018 is the year to shake things up a little!

While paint is an easy design change, it is more of a commitment than the pops of color accent pillows, rugs, or vases can bring. It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference. One New Year’s resolution you could do with decorating is simply budgeting for a fresh collection of decorative items. This is a budget savvy way to introduce new color, pattern, texture, and finish to a space. Get playful with striped designs on pillows, change up house decors with a different theme or add decorative accent lighting fixtures on your patio. Such items are nice investments since they can be reused in varied spaces or with other combinations.

5. Be inspired in new ways

We certainly have our favorite inspirations for interior design ideas: Pinterest, Instagram, design magazines and blogs, to name a few. One New Year’s interior design resolution can include diving into other sources for additional guidance. Take home global influences from travel including hotel lobbies, observe the hottest design innovations at trade shows, or take in ideas from fresh restaurant interiors and exteriors. Grab a cue from this back of the house design – this might be inspired from a French outdoor café you really adored in the neighborhood. Always look into designs wherever you go and these will surely keep your inspiration and motivations going!

6. Listen to your design intuition

Everyone has a little voice inside that encourages the decisions right for them. Practice listening to it when it comes to the interior design of your home. If you’re not a fan of taking risks with bold colors and would rather keep close to your comfort zone, then listen to your guts. A new year doesn’t mean a drastic change in your interiors – it’s more of promising for a better feel of your home that you will continue to love. If you wish of keeping the beautiful elements of your bedroom back in 2017, then keep it. After all, it’s your house, your own design resolutions, your contentment and happiness.
