January Décor Trends

Rejuvenate your home in the New Year

With the New Year upon us, you may be pledging to get in shape, save money, or learn a new hobby. But have you made any resolutions for your home? After a month of overabundant holiday decor, the New Year is the perfect time to wipe the slate clean with crisp and organized surroundings. In that spirit, here are three accent pieces that can help you rejuvenate both your sanctuary and your senses.

Mingle a bench or ottoman in every room

Benches and upholstered ottomans are a hot design trend right now. They’re a versatile, inexpensive way to provide extra seating and storage, even when you have little space. Try tucking a bench against a wall in the front entryway as a quick place to sit and put on shoes or drop items when you come in the door. A tufted ottoman placed in the living room can masquerade as a coffee table and double as mobile seating when guests arrive. And a sleek storage ottoman can be used to corral extra throw blankets, pillows, books, or games in virtually any room in the house to minimize clutter and streamline your decor.

Benches and ottomans are also a fun and inexpensive way to incorporate the latest winter colors, textures, or metals into your home for a creative twist that plays to the rustic industrial trend without feeling cold.

Add a touch of sophisticated whimsy with a settee

The settee is the loveseat’s swankier cousin. With its high, straight back and sleek lines, it’s meant for sitting, not for lounging around watching Netflix. Its formal posture adds luxury to smaller spaces without a bulky footprint, so consider nestling one against a wall in the foyer to serve as a lavish welcome to guests. Or, soften the straight lines of a mid-century modern dining table with a plushy tufted settee on one side that can be pulled around for extra seating in nearby living areas.

Classic tufted settees can be used in multiple areas of the home

 

A graceful settee can carve out a serene window seat for reading, or a cozy sitting area in the master bedroom. It’s the perfect go-to piece that also satisfies the furniture-as-art trend, so look for funky lines in the latest winter hues that add fun as well as function.

 

Stay organized with stylish shelving

A chic, neutral shelving unit can easily be moved around the house to function as a display in one room, stylish storage in another, or even as a room divider as you grow into a home.

In the living room, stash seasonal and holiday items in baskets on the top shelves to rotate out with the seasons. Accessorize eye-level shelves with pretty books, keepsakes, and photo albums. And stow kids’ craft materials and games in boxes on lower shelves within easy reach of little hands. Or, carve out a mini-mudroom in an entry or back door area to contain mail, school papers, bags, and pet gear. High shelves keep baskets of seasonal gear like gloves and hats out of the way until they’re needed, and the bottom shelf can be used to stash shoes and boots. Stay on trend with a rustic modern design that will function in any space and dress it up with a variety of boxes, baskets, and other containers in different colors and textures.
