As the New Year approaches we like to think ahead to all the possibilities in store for us.
As we start a fresh calendar year, many of us also get the urge to freshen up our surroundings, too.
Only one problem? I know, the resolution to save money this year!
Are you amongst my tribe who get bored of our surroundings now and then? Do you love to rearrange your furniture?
Do you find yourself sucked into marathons of Interior Decorating Challenges on TV? Wonderful, come sit by me.
I’d like to share a few suggestions that we can help with at Bennett’s to give you a new look, without breaking the bank.
Lighten up!
Good lighting is so important in our homes.
Whether it be to properly light a task space (preparing meals, reading, making hallways safer) or simply for great aesthetics, lamps can be an easy way to update your space economically.
Bennett’s has hundreds of lamps to choose from! From elegant to rustic to modern!
Many of our lamps now have bonuses like built in nightlights, USB ports, or auxiliary power plugs (so you don’t have to crawl behind the headboard or sofa to plug something else in).
Another suggestion if you have a dark corner in your home that you just can’t seem to bring light to, is to try a floor mirror!
Prop it up to reflect the existing light back into your space.
Pair it with a floor lamp in front and you’ll be pleased with how much cheerier your room seems.
It’s a toss-up!
Toss cushions are a fun and super easy way to change up the look in your space.
Try a new colour or mix some patterns in.
At Bennett’s we carry a ton of cushions for every taste.
Easily update your space with toss cushions on your bed or on your sofa!
Look down!
How about an area rug?
They add warmth and texture to a room.
We have a huge selection in store and the custom order options make our offerings endless!
Maybe you want something plush to squish your toes into, or something for the kids to play on in the rec room.
A new area rug can really change the whole look of your room.
Wall Candy…aka Artwork!
Changing up your art doesn’t have to be expensive.
We carry a wide range of sizes, styles, and price ranges.
As I am decorating the store, it always makes me happy how I can change the look of a vignette just by changing out the artwork.
You can do the same thing in your own home!
At Bennett’s we have something to accommodate your tastes, whether you’re into abstract, landscape, or humourous artwork.
But it’s a new year, why not step out of your box and try a new style?
The Little Things in Life!
I cannot forget the little things, the table top accessories.
These are probably the easiest way to bring something new into your home.
We have lots to look at and choose from, including candle holders, vases, figurines, even black-thumb-proof plants (artificial).
Come on in and spend a couple of hours browsing around here at Bennett’s.
There is SO much to see! Our Decorator Consultants (think of them as Decorating Tour Guides) can show you all of the options we offer.
It’s a New Year, treat yourself to a New Look too!
Until next time,
Janet
