2020 decor resolutions
January 07, 2020
Stuck in a decorating rut? We hear you. Be resolved to follow these five decor resolutions for your best living space yet.
Mixing textures
Afraid of mixing textures? Don’t be. You can create a balanced look in any space by choosing different finishes on your decor finds. Think satin, velvet, wool, faux-fur and wood on everything from cushions to rugs, thus avoiding a sterile look and creating a custom, unique space.

Plant love
Do you covet your friend’s succulent sanctuary? It’s time to create your own plant family! Did you know that plants can provide a calmer space and clean the air? Those are just a few bonuses. Remember to choose plants according to your decor aesthetic and lifestyle (cacti if you are an avid traveller) and enjoy a little bit of the outdoors, inside. We suggest starting with one plant at a time. We love the way the plant pictured is incorporated with the decor. It’s the perfect shelfie. Jars, mugs, bowls and artwork from HomeSense. Homesense.ca
Pastel power
While dark and dramatic colours certainly have their place, pastel-toned hues help create a relaxed atmosphere at home, and who doesn’t need that these days? If you are a little skeptical, avoid painting your entire living room Millennial pink and instead, opt for decorative objects and textiles in softer shades to incorporate this look.

Local artisanal touches
Support local small businesses by shopping for decor and lifestyle products in your community. Not only is this great for the environment (smaller carbon footprint), it also allows for the flow of money back into the community, plus you can pick up some super cool one-of-a-kind pieces to furnish your pad!
