Believe it or not, but 2009 is over and 2010 is already here! As many of us know, when a new year rolls in, resolutions start flying. Well, why not trying some “Room Resolutions” this year too? With the help of some tips from the House Beautiful website, Moxii has found some great ideas for some New Year’s Room Resolutions that we think you might find not only inspiring, but helpful (all photos from www.housebeautiful.com). Here’s what we found:
Cord Free:

It’s 2010 everyone, and if you haven’t discovered wireless, than put it on your “to-do” list this year. Wireless internet, and wireless printing: it’s super fast and very convenient for all of us who are on the move from room to room a lot. Most importantly, it looks so much better than having a bunch of tacky black cords hanging all over your workspace area. Cord Free= Clutter Free.
Creative Hat Racks:

At first look, it’s slightly questionable, but very creative when it comes to making a statement in an otherwise boring hallway. It’s a great idea for mudroom or even in a boy’s room. Hey if those antlers are going to be on the wall, why not use them right? The key to this look though is organization. If it’s a jumbled mess, than those great looking antlers probably won’t help.
Get Organized:

One of the most important things to remember when it comes to the great design of a room is organization. You can have a beautiful space, but if it’s a mess than it loses a lot of it’s luster. The key is organization. It completes the space, not only making it more appealing, but practically making it more livable.
A Simply Entryway:

One of the easiest ways to make a functional statement in a house is to focus on your entryway. Foyers are often forgotten in homes, but they do serve a purpose. First, they serve as a taste of the style of a home upon walking in, hopefully enticing your guests to see more. But designed right, they also have a functional aspect to them, allowing one to put down a heavy bag or sit in a chair to take off an extra layer of clothing from the elements.
Living Room Storage:

Last but not least, is the issue of storage. It goes back to organization and being to keep the look of a space by keeping it clean. One way to do that is to have proper storage. Take for example the living room pictured above. It’s clean, trendy, but it’s livable, and with cabinets and ottomans with hidden storage, you can be playing with the kids one minute, and then having a dinner party the next!
