With all the challenges of this past year, many of us are embracing our home décor with a newfound passion, and are focusing on the types of items that make us feel good inside.

In addition to plush, cozy furnishings, many of us are choosing décor that exudes feelings of nostalgia or makes us feel connected with nature.
Here are just a few home décor ideas that will help comfort you, reduce stress and improve your mood:
- Vintage Pieces Whether it’s your grandmother’s needlepoint or your Aunt Norma’s vintage typewriter, pull out a few family heirlooms to evoke fond memories.
- Photos Rekindle life’s precious moments by displaying photos from childhood or your favorite family vacations.
- Natural Elements Accessorize with plants, flowers or other elements from the outdoors — like leaves, branches and berries — to help reduce stress and improve your mood.
- Homemade Décor Spend quality time with your loved ones by engaging in a fun DIY project together — build a bookcase, paint stones or make a gingerbread house.
You can also create a calming mood with these additional ideas:
- Blues Incorporate warm, calming shades of blues, grays or other soft neutrals into your furnishings, pillows, tableware or window treatments.
- Decked-out Front Door What better way to express your newfound 2021 spirit, while staying in — decorate your front door with lights, garland or a homemade wreath.
Now that the holidays are over and we are starting a new year, let’s all start out with a positive and healthy mindset!
