A New Year is the perfect opportunity to start afresh; make some positive lifestyle changes. However the unfortunate truth is that 43% of us abandon their resolutions before the month of January concludes. Of course, there are many reasons why this happens. But we believe your home environment is one of the most important. Interior design is not only about looking good, it can affect the way you feel, move, and behave in a space. So, whatever your wellness goals for 2024 – achieving balance; improving sleep; getting organised – we’re here to help you to stick to them using interior design. In this article, we’ll explore how to create an environment conducive to your aspirations for maximum chances of success.
Be Happier
A harmonious interior isn’t just easy on the eye, but the mind, too. It’s all about creating an environment that promotes overall wellbeing. To achieve this, every aspect in the room should feel like it belongs. When something looks out of place, it can make us feel uncomfortable. Consider starting the year with a thorough clean-out, removing the old and making room for the new. This fresh, energised environment can positively impact your mood and contribute to a happier, more balanced life. Read our five must-haves for the ultimate “zen den” here.
Sleep Better
The key to quality sleep often lies in the hours before bedtime. This requires you to consider your wind-down routine, and any adjustments that can enhance your relaxation. Low lighting, plush furniture, and a calming colour palette can transform your living space into a haven for relaxation. Alternatively, it might be a good idea to invest in a new bed – or at least a more luxurious mattress to support a better night’s rest. Our range of high end designer bedroom furniture will have you drifting off into a peaceful slumber in no time!
Feel Inspired
Is 2024 going to be the year for getting things done? Your work environment plays a crucial role in promoting productivity. Redesign your home office to optimise space, introduce ergonomic furniture for comfort, and the use of invigorating colours get those creative juices flowing. A well-thought-out study or studio not only enhances your professional focus but also ignites inspiration, placing those New Year’s goals within reach.

Make Connections
The past few years have hammered home the value of social relationships. So, if your resolution is to foster more connections, optimising the communal spaces within your home is essential. Living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms can be strategically designed to bring people together and encourage interaction. A new dining table for sharing meals; a breakfast bar stools for informal chit-chat; a big sofa for snuggling up to watch your favourite family films. Consider ways you can create inviting spaces for meaningful connections and shared experiences.
Get Organised
If you’re aiming for a more organised way of life, you might end up with more than a tidy-looking living space. Did you know, clutter has been linked to stress and anxiety? Try removing or rearranging any obstacles that prevent you from moving freely around each room. Smart storage solutions – including ottomans, coffee tables and beds – and minimalist design principles will help to achieve a more refined aesthetic. A well-organised home not only promotes a sense of calm but also reduces stress, allowing you to focus on your goals with a clear mind. Read our top tips on maximising storage with style.
