Dawnsboutique: How to Simply Refresh Your Abode For The New Year

Another year has passed (that was a quick one) and now it's time to reluctantly put away the Christmas and Holiday decor and refresh your abode for the coming year. With that in mind, there will be some rooms that will look quite barren and sparse without glowing lights or garlands. Here are a few examples of how to fix that issue and easily refresh your abode for the new year:

Replenish home goods such as candles that have burnt out during the holiday season. Try out a new scent and stock up on varying heights and sizes to form a collection that you can easily display on an entryway table or kitchen island.
Refresh bath towels/hand towels and bath mats in your guest bathroom. Make it interesting by selecting towels that have different textures and tones.
Add apothecary jars to your bathroom countertops filled with your favorite soaps/bath salts.
Throw out and replace old and worn out doormats and dishtowels.
Add a touch of luxury throughout your home by placing silver or gold trays on your coffee table.
Upgrade plastic storage containers with pretty vintage baskets.
Add some bling to your bookcase or built-in by selecting picture frames that have a bit of glitter or platinum finish.
Update your window treatments or blinds.
Change out sofa pillows or add one unique pillow that makes a statement.
Re-arrange your furniture (this one is free)
Lastly, create a gallery wall that tells a story about your life or passion.
