Elle Décor’s feature regarding a number of decorators’ new year’s resolutions—“Interior Resolve”—was great. Granted, the resolutions had a decided “design” slant. I found them to be full of good tips—giving you new eyes to look at your spaces. The following were my some of my favorites:
“Keep things fresh! Design should live and breathe. I don't like walking into a project that I completed years ago and find it looks exactly the same. Rooms should be refreshed occasionally—replace throw pillows in a new splash of color, apply a lively paint finish, add lampshades in a modern shape, swap in seasonal printed slipcovers or simply rearrange the existing accessories.”

“My New Year’s resolution is to edit, edit, edit. It is hard to get rid of the knickknacks but your space feels so much better when you do! If you haven't reached for something in your closet, drawer, or that bin under your bed in six months, it is time to get rid of it!”

“Out with the junk and add some splashes of color! I want to streamline accessories and peel it back to the necessities. Then I can really start to plan the next phase, which will be continuing to make spaces unique, keeping art in a central place, and adding splashes of color. I'm loving peacock blue and old rose pinks.”
