Give a neglected space a facelift. “My resolution for 2017 is to freshen our guest room. formerly our master bedroom, it’s been ignored over the last few years as well as now needs some like as well as attention.

Elevate an indoor-outdoor space. “There’s a space just off my kitchen area that’s in determined requirement of renovation, as well as this might be the year! It looks out to the backyard, so it might be truly lovely, however it’s not insulated. It gets as well hot in the summertime as well as as well chilly in the winter, making my kitchen area drafty. So I’m believing of adding a gas fireplace as well as perhaps some ceiling beams to turn it into a warm den. I’d like it to be a bright, yet relaxing area like the living space in Steven Gambrel’s Sag Harbor, NY, home.” — Beth Hitchcock, Editor-in-Chief

Bring back the dining room. “I’d like to utilize my dining area a lot more frequently as well as provide it genuine purpose. ideal now it essentially acts as a thoroughfare from my hallway to my kitchen, as well as I frequently discover myself having meals on the fly: standing at the counter, munching at the coffee table in front of the TV…. (pinlig!). I want to take the time to take pleasure in my dining space, whether it’s with a group dinner or just a random weeknight meal with my boyfriend. as well as keeping that in mind, I’d like to pick up a whole new set of dinnerware, too. nothing fancy, just a traditional white set for eight that isn’t a mish-mash of different products I’ve accumulated over the years.” — Lauren Petroff, style Editor

Upgrade to a statement sofa. “Now that our kitchen area restoration is lastly done, I’m itching to get on with the rest of the house.

A jewel-toned, tufted appeal like the one in this Samantha Farjo-designed house — paired with crisp white walls as well as a vibrant contemporary rug — makes my heart sing.” — Alice Lawlor, Editorial Director

Get out of your embellishing comfort zone. “This year, I’m resolving to be less of a clutter-phobe, considering that I’m told my home can feel a bit Spartan.

I’d like to channel this layered vignette by designer Nam Dang-Mitchell; it’s eye-catching, however edited.” — Reiko Milley, partner Editor

Vær mere eventyrlysten med udsmykning. Efter at have for nylig vendt tilbage fra min bryllupsrejse i Thailand med meget mere end et par eksotiske nysgerrigheder i min kuffert, er jeg i ekstase over at opdage et hus for dem i mit rum. Jeg kan godt lide begrebet pynter med produkter, der fortæller en historie, såvel som håber at vedtage meget mere verdensomspændende æstetik i år. Silvana d’Edazios opholdsområde har bare den type eklektiske look, jeg går efter; Hun beviser, at det at tage vejen mindre rejst med særlig dekoration virkelig kan betale sig! ” – Adena Leigh, webredaktør

Dyk ned i mønster. ”For 2017 omfavner jeg det mønstrede! I det mindste i spædbarnstrin. Jeg vil gerne lave en accentvæg eller alkove dækket af et kreativt mønster som den i H&H Senior Editor Sally Armstrongs primære soveværelse. Jeg har en tendens til at spille det risikofri, når det vedrører dekoration, så dette er en enkel metode til enkelhed i det. ” – Jessica Flower, redaktionel assistent

Arbejd med det, du har. ”Min garderobe er et af de områder, der uundgåeligt går fra ren til kaotisk. Jeg er heldig tilstrækkelig til at have en indbygget arrangør, så min beslutning er virkelig at bruge den til dens fulde funktionalitet. Jeg er påvirket af dette område af Sabrina Linn, hvor tøj hænges pænt til siden, sko vises i mindre cubbies såvel som mindre produkter stases væk i kasser. ” – Amanda Tucci, redaktionel assistent

Look ahead to the months ahead. “I plan to whip the plantings around the pool into shape next summer. I understand I’ll have to wait months, however there’s a serviceberry tree that’s been cannonballed to death as well as it needs to go! If I begin early sufficient in spring, I figure things will look rich by July. I’m seeking to this garden by mark Hartley Landscape designers for inspiration; it strikes the best balance between natural as well as maintained.” — Wendy Jacob, features Editor
