A Perfect New Year's Resolution: Making Your Home Fit Your Personality

It's the time of year to make resolutions, so this post shares ways to redesign your home in 2017 and make your decor fit your zodiac sign.

There are only a few days left in 2016 and I'm starting to prepare for the new year. I have this feeling that 2017 is going to be the year I really shine. Sure, we all make resolutions every New Year’s Eve, but more often than not we don’t keep them. This year I intend to follow through with my resolution, so I started planning early. I am going to re-make my home to create an environment that fits with my personality.

It’s important to come home to a comfort zone: a place that you feel free to be yourself. I’ve decided to base my decor on my zodiac sign. I am a Libra, which means that my ultimate desire is to live an easy life. I want to make my home a peaceful, serene shelter from the chaos that we live in; an escape from the difficulties of our day-to-day routine.

To design this escape from reality, I plan on using this guide to help me decorate my home with shades of blue and pictures of the ocean. I love having fresh-picked flowers in my home and I intend to keep vases of Lilies on my table, as those are an elegant bloom that tend to relax Libras. I even found a birth month Christmas tree guide and I will absolutely be decorating with the Arctic White Tree next year to match my birthstone. Hopefully my tree will be on sale soon, since the holidays just passed!
