The beginning of the year rhymes with resolutions and “to do list” in order to undertake with ambition a well organized year.
With the freezing temperatures that we experienced during the holidays, I was certainly not the only one to make a to-do list to complete in the house to make it more user-friendly, cozy and to my taste! In my list: paint the basement, make the kitchen backsplash, finish stripping a piece of furniture, change some shabby handles, complete a DIY already started, and so on.
Remember, however, do not do many small jobs at the same time, but one at a time, so you do not get tired and make them all right. To help you and not forget anything, make yourself a realistic list with your tasks in order of priority.
Here are 18 resolutions in the interior decoration, for a productive and busy 2024 year.
Whether it’s embarking on a new project, completing another one, or making small, simple decorating adjustments, these tasks will make all the difference and make you even more proud of your home!
1. Finish the finishing of the moldings

My house has undergone major renovations in 2017, including the complete demolition of my kitchen. To my great relief, I now finally have my dream kitchen!
That said, I share my most important resolution 2024 with you: finish the pesky window frames! It’s not much, but the girl has no patience for this issue.
2. Focus on window dressing

In the same vein, the windows not only need pretty moldings, but also a nice dressing. Treat yourself to a cheap transformation by renewing your curtains.
If you want to keep them for a long time, stay in a palette of versatile neutrals such as off-white or light gray. Choose beautiful soft materials and a suitable size.
3. Refresh the handles

The dining room seats had a difficult life? Make a new skin with an easy-care textile, such as polyester, and choose a fabric with more than 30,000 double rubs to keep it for a long time.

5. Give a second life to a piece of furniture

This vanity that you have been sulking for years could easily become a little wonder worthy of Pinterest inspirations.

Many kitchens do not have tiled walls. Do you recognize yourself? Ceramics dresses the surface in a remarkable way and makes it easier to maintain your kitchen.
To save money on the purchase of your tiles, monitor the end of lots in supermarkets and be careful with the installation. There are also sticker backs on the market, which can be removed and modified as we please!
7. Clean the surfaces

8. Change old-fashioned lighting

The simple act of moving a piece of furniture can give it a new vocation. So, move your furniture to rediscover and enjoy it in a new light!

When it comes to upholstery, area rugs are my favorites! It is an element of decoration that offers comfort, conviviality and contrast, in addition to divide a space skillfully.

And our plants in all this? If they are part of your decor and your well-being and you like them look good, do not forget to pamper them!

Take the winter to prepare yourself psychologically to strip and dye your patio as soon as the weather is nice. This summer, be proud of the beauty of the wood under your feet!
18. Finish what was started

This last resolution is in my opinion the most important. You have undertaken a project that you have never completed? This is an error that must be avoided!
In 2024, finally finish what has been started or call on a pro who can execute your work quickly and carefully.
