  1. Entryway Foyer

It’s all about the first impression. The entryway gets tons of traffic and is often the first area guests see. However, this space also tends to be one of the most overlooked. The initial first impression can be easily kicked up a notch with a few simple tweaks.

 

Update/Add an Entryway Rug

Swapping out an old rug is a simple way to make a big impact. With so many design options and color combinations, like this old English-style artesian rug, you can customize your space to reflect any style.

This addition can also save your floors in the long run by catching all the dirt from outside.

 

Expand Your Space with a Mirror

Mirrors can give the illusion of a larger space and can also brighten and expand the look of a room, which is especially significant in smaller areas like foyers or entryways. With the right placement, a nicely designed entryway mirror can substantially upgrade your space.

 

Keep Everyday Items Organized with a New Shelf or Entryway Table

An entryway shelf like this Industrial Style Three Tier Display Bookshelf is the perfect addition to any foyer, bringing in functionality and style. Not only will it help keep your space organized, but it provides an opportunity to set the stage and show off your unique design. Start by staging your shelves with some of your favorite books or art. Add a decorative bowl or box to collect and keep track of everyday used items like keys and wallets. Finally, this is a perfect area to add a pop of natural color with fresh cut flowers.

 

  1. Home Office

With so many people working from home, no wonder home office renovations are expected to boom in 2023! Your home office and workspace are key parts of your working environment that can impact your productivity and general wellbeing.

 

Upgrade to a Comfortable, Supportive Office Chair

It adds a fun pop of color, and its armless design makes it simple to tuck away under the desk, keeping your space seamless and free from obstructions.

 

Stay on Task with an Organized Workspace

Color and functionality are two things to consider when upgrading your workspace. A versatile, well-equipped desk can help enhance your mood, boost productivity, manage stress, and minimize distraction. For example, this classic writing computer desk is ideal for a clean, polished look.

When everything has a place, it’s easier to keep and maintain a clutter-free desk. So, having the right tools, such as dedicated storage options like this desktop organizer is essential. The three-part design is versatile and can store papers, notebooks, pens, pencils, and smaller office items.

To top off your refreshed office space, we recommend adding a new plant to increase creativity, clean the air, and help reduce stress.

  1. Kitchen

Are you planning on hosting more in 2023? The kitchen is one of the main areas in your home that is guaranteed to be a gathering place. Adding or updating a few pieces can give your kitchen a fresh look without breaking the bank.
