New decorating resolutions for your home - start the new year off right!

We are about to start a new year, which is always exciting. At this time of year many people like to set themselves new challenges and goals. Others do it at the end of the summer, but many do it during the Christmas season.

For you who are always looking for new resolutions, we recommend that you start 2024 off right with some stimulating suggestions that have to do with the home, that private temple that everyone likes to take care of so that it generates peace and wellbeing.

Here is our list of resolutions for the new year - maybe one of them will appeal to you!

Daring new colours and patterns

As stepping out of our comfort zone usually brings benefits, this year we suggest you try introducing new colours or different patterns in your home decoration, especially in textiles. What do you think?

If you usually use neutral or plain colours for your cushions and bedding, why not try other shades or prints?

To guide you, if you like to follow trends, we can tell you that plant prints, which evoke nature, continue to lead the trends in decoration, but nowadays checks are also popular.

As for colours, there are lovers of neutral tones to dress the bed, but pastels continue to push hard to sneak into every home.

Alongside these colours, which always have their legion of acolytes, there are colours that every year lead the fashion, design and decoration charts.

Pantone is the company that acts as an international colour "cicerone" every year. Do you know what the colour of the year 2024 is? They have called it Peach Fuzz, a peach tone that is sweet, seductive and very cheerful.

 

Choosing a new duvet or duvet cover

Having a good duvet or duvet cover in winter is key to feeling good and resting properly. The question of thickness, material and measurements is of vital importance.

First of all, if you consider that you have an old duvet cover or one that is not suitable for the temperature of your home in winter, get a new one.

Our recommendation is that before looking at models, you should think about the room temperature in your home. Depending on the type of heating or the insulation provided by doors and windows, you will need a thicker or thinner duvet or duvet cover.

For example, a very thick duvet in a house with the warmth offered by central heating, for example, can make you too hot at night and prevent you from sleeping well.

As for the material of your duvet or duvet filler, we recommend you always opt for 100% natural and ecological materials, which are kinder to your skin and the environment.

The most common fillings are usually fibre and down fillings, the latter being of natural origin, often with a 100% cotton outer cover.

As for the correct measurements, apart from the type of bed you have, think about the thickness of your mattress so that the duvet or duvet cover covers the bed well and does not fall short on the sides.

 

Add more cushions and plaids to your decor

Make your home cosier this 2024 with more cushions and plaids, both on the beds and on the living room sofa.

Cushions and cushion covers will emphasise the ambience and decorative style you have chosen for your home, but will also make beds and sofas softer, more comfortable and fluffy. It will help to create layers and volumes, which are very attractive.

Top your duvet or duvet cover with a nice plaid or bedspread that matches the bedding. On the arms of the sofa you can place a blanket or two, depending on how many people live in the house.

Choose natural materials that create colour and texture contrasts with the fabric of the sofa and cushion covers.

What's more, these decorative pieces are very versatile and help us to change the look of a room whenever we want, without having to spend a lot of money.

And you, have you already set your deco goals for 2024?
