As we usher in the New Year, it’s the perfect time to embrace a fresh start by revitalising your interior. And you don't need a major overhaul to infuse new life into your home; sometimes, all it takes are small, simple changes with the right accessories. Here are some easy and effective ways to give your interior decor a rejuvenating boost.

1. Throw blankets, pillows and rugs
Swap out your current throws, pillows and rugs for ones in on-trend colours or patterns. These accessories not only add a pop of personality to your space but also provide an inviting warmth – something required in January. Explore the range of cushions and rugs at Lime.

2. Curtains and drapes
Update your window treatments to instantly change the look and feel of a room. Opt for curtains in a new colour or pattern ­– but ensure it still complements your existing decor. Sheer or light-filtering drapes can bring in more light, giving your space an airy and refreshed ambience.

3. Artwork and wall decor 
Rearrange or introduce new artwork to create a focal point in different areas of your home. Whether it's framed prints, wall decals, or a gallery wall, changing up what you hang on your walls can make a significant impact on the overall aesthetic.

4. Mirrors
Mirrors are a fantastic way to open up a space and enhance natural light. Consider adding a stylish mirror to your walls, such as the Glenn mirror by Cattelan Italia, or replace existing ones with a different shape or frame to give your rooms a chic and modern touch.

5. Indoor plants
Bring the outdoors in by incorporating indoor plants. Not only do they add a touch of nature to your decor, but they also improve air quality and contribute to a sense of well-being. Experiment with different plant varieties and stylish pots to suit your style and environment.

6. Lighting fixtures
Upgrade your lighting fixtures to create a more contemporary or eclectic vibe. Consider pendant lights ­– such as the Blow Suspension Light by Bontempi Casa, chandeliers, or even statement floor lamps to illuminate and define various areas of your home.

By incorporating these small yet impactful changes, you can achieve a refreshed and updated interior within an instant.

How to Style Your Bedside Table

The bedside table is a small yet essential piece of bedroom furniture that can have a big impact on your room’s overall aesthetics. How you style your bedside table can transform your bedroom into a sanctuary of beauty and restfulness.

1. Choose the right table
The first step to a well-styled bedside table is selecting the right table itself. The Bayus Round by Porada and the Julian by Cattelan Italia are excellent choices if you appreciate Italian craftsmanship combined with unique up-to-the-minute shapes. 

2. Create a balanced look
Balance is key when it comes to interiors. Think about how much space you have and then start with a striking table lamp. Opt for a design that complements your overall bedroom décor but doesn’t take over the whole table.

3. Personalise with décor items
Add a personal touch by incorporating decorative elements. A small potted plant or vase of fresh flowers can infuse life and colour into your space. The Curved bedside table from the Night Collection at Lime allows you to play with different decor styles, thanks to its soft lines and neutral tones.

4. Stay organised
Your bedside table also serves a practical purpose. Keep it organised by using a tray or small dish to corral items like your favourite books, reading glasses or a journal. The Night Collection's Symmetry Alta Open bedside table has a practical shelf for additional space.

Incorporating these tips into your bedside table styling will help to create a beautiful and functional bedroom space.

Catch Up on a Curved Sofa

The last few years have taught us that a lot can be said for staying at home and enjoying the company of our loved ones. With that in mind, we’ve seen a rise in people enjoying the art of conversation again, and so designs have followed suit. Sofas have begun to follow this desire and curve around, giving you the ability to feel closer together and better direct conversation. 

Here we’ve selected some of our favourite curved sofa designs that can help you to bring conversation back into your space and make it the primary focus.

A contemporary take on a classic mid-century 'Banana' sofa, the Yves Sofa by Porada features a curved arc shape that creates a cocoon effect and allows every sitter to be closer together. The seat base is deep with a low profile backrest and can come with an optional nestling pouf which mirrors the arc shape.

For something traditional in its foundations with a contemporary twist the Nova Sofa by Sits is an option to explore. Complete with high-rise armrests and cushioned backrests, among the vast variety of sets available it can be selected in this gently angled design where the outer modular sections curve slightly inward.

Taking the angled design feature is the avant-garde inspired Denver Sofa by Bontempi Casa which comes in a variety of playful geometric modular shapes — with movable backrests that you can reposition to suit the occasion.

Last but certainly not least is the Etienne Sofa by Porada. This design is can be articulated into a selection of curving compositions, from a rounded corner, to a half moon, or even an S shape allowing you to curve the design in two different directions. 

The flexibility of these designs is bringing new life to the sofa and bringing us back to the very beginnings of this furniture landmark in our homes, giving us a comfortable space to sit together and enjoy one another's company. Explore some curved sofas and see how they can bring this trend into your own space.
