Tackle Your Closet

Nothing says springtime than an updated and refreshed closet! Give your closet the makeover it deserves. Besides organizing your closet, if you have a walk-in closet, update your light fixture to something more glamorous or add fun wallpaper. Incorporating new storage, like boxes or shelves, or just making sure you have nice, uniformed hangers can make a huge difference in your closet. 

Storage

If you want to provoke a simple, minimalist bedroom you have to de-clutter your space. Storage, whether it’s a drawer in your nightstand or a decorative box or basket, it helps eliminate the messy look when you have too many trinkets.

Select Decor Only

Make a big impact with select decor items, like art or a light fixture. Keep the bed, the rug, and the nightstands simple in design. This way your bedroom won’t be an overwhelming space that may keep your senses awake at night.

Terracotta

Bright Corals

Bright pinks, oranges, and yellows are settling into 2019. They energize and uplift the mood, and bring life and positivity into any space. 

Beiges & Whites

2019 has kicked off with a minimalist and clutter-free attitude. Minimalism and simplicity calls for all the various shades of beige and white. Also, wood-inspired shades are beautiful for the naturalist feel. 

Placement

First, decide where you need light in the space. Look for dark corners and seating areas that will benefit from some light. Does it need a table lamp, a ceiling light, or a floor lamp?

Scaling

Just like how a large cozy sectional sofa fits better in a more massive room, a larger scale table lamp will look more balanced on a bigger, sturdy side table or sofa table. The same thing goes for a smaller scale lamp. The scale of the lamp should match its’ location. 

Function

What is the lamp’s purpose? A classic reading lamp does not belong in an open seating space because the light will only focus on one small area of the room. Plan out what areas need to be lit and how bright and open you need it to be. If the lamp is strictly for decorative purposes, don’t forget that it should compliment the rest of the decor surrounding it. 

Decorative Lamps

Lamps come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Lamps can also add texture to the space. Sometimes all you need is a decorative lamp, instead of the other small knickknacks. 

Lamp Shades

If you have an incredible lamp base, that just needs a lamp shade upgrade, remember to choose a shade that mimics the shape of the lamp. For example, a tall, thin floor lamp base would look best with a conical shade and a square table lamp base would pair with a square or rectangular shade. The lamp shade also adds another level of color and texture.

LOOKING FOR A NEW LAMP?

Matte Black

It can be on furniture, walls, or kitchen finishes. Matte black is a bold sophisticated statement, moving from fashion into interior design.

Sustainable & Natural Materials

Sustainably grown wood, bamboo, or recycled materials are very important to style and design. We are surrounding ourselves with natural fabrics and materials so we can take a break from the high-tech, modern world and finally feel more in touch with our planet. 

Houseplants

 Designers are relying on houseplants, not just for good air quality, but for design. From the style of the pot, to the patterned shapes of the leaves, houseplants are no longer the extras because they are finally taking center stage. 

Bold Colors & Patterns

It’s definitely not about minimalism this year. We’re going big with colors, like accessorizing with rich jewel tones and going all in with patterned wallpaper. 

Art Deco

2019 is about inspiration and glamour. From sleek curved furniture, to geometric detailing, and mixed metals, Art Deco is now everywhere. Who’s complaining? A little retro never hurt. 

Start with a Blank Slate

It’s all about editing. Remove all your accessories and place them in a corner. You can do this room by room. Then, carefully and thoughtfully,re-accessorize the room. Think about function, style, and stay away from clutter. Place items in different areas than before or even in different rooms!

Repaint, Refinish, or Repurpose

Sometimes all you need is a new coat of paint for your space to feel refreshed. It can be the same paint color or something completely different, new paint always makes a room look brand new.

Repaint a wall or refinish a piece of furniture or repurpose an old bookcase into a bar shelf or entryway bench with storage. This definitely gives you a new project for the new year! 

Houseplants

New houseplants are essential when breathing new life into a space. If you already have houseplants, switch out the pots with new ones and repot the soil to also give your plants a new beginning.
