Feeling Stagnant In Your Space?
It’s easy to overlook the corners of your home that no longer excite you.
Maybe your living room feels “safe” but uninspired.
Your shelves and surfaces are cluttered with objects that don’t bring you joy.
The new year is an ideal time to step back, take stock, and refresh the spaces that feel stagnant.
Where do we begin?
Colour has a remarkable effect on how a room feels. A small pop of colour with cushions, throws, or a vase that speaks to you. You can even draw inspiration from your favourite restaurants, hotels, or places that excite you — the colours and mood you’re drawn to often reveal what will breathe life back into your home.
Next, texture.
Tactile layers make a room feel richer and more inviting. Add texture with cushions, throws, or a textured vase. Even small adjustments can transform a space, giving it depth and interest without cluttering it. Mixing materials: linen, ceramics, glass, or timber, keeps things dynamic and engaging.
The small details.
-
Books: Stack them on tables or shelves to add personality and visual depth.
-
Art: Rotate or introduce pieces that inspire you for the new year.
-
Hero pieces: A single statement vase, planter, or object can anchor a corner, creating impact without overwhelming the room.
These small interventions allow you to curate spaces that feel intentional and personal.
Practical Styling Tips
-
Focus on a few key pieces to make impact, less is often more.
-
Treat styling as “breathing room” rather than adding clutter.
-
Tackle neglected corners first; a small refresh can completely shift how a space feels.
