Your decor could be many things. But at the start of a new year, what you want from your interior style is to reflect your resolutions. We all want to become a better person, whether it involves fitness, education, or friendship. But every self-improvement journey is born from an introspective process. It is the result of knowing yourself. So how about giving your decor a grown-up edge that can help you stay focused. This is a guest post.
Grown-Up Additions To Your Decor
Playful.
Practical.
Bohemian.
Industrial.
What’s a grown-up decor? In a word, it’s an intentional and sophisticated display of your self-awareness and knowledge. While it doesn’t sacrifice pretty designs, it introduces a new meaning to your interior.

Beautiful and functional display with a meaning
Art and interior style go hand-in-hand. However, art can play more than one role in your grown-up decor. The artistic creation can be accidental. Yet the decision to bring it into your home is intentional. At its heart, your artful display serves multiple purposes. One of these refers to functionality. A beautiful item needs to bring value. Therefore, if uniqueness isn’t one of its features (more about unique art displays below), then it should fulfill a practical role such as a beautiful Murano Glass Chandelier. The chandelier is a lighting fixture but also offers an insight into the history of Venitian glassmakers. The Murano island gained its independence and privileges in the Venitian Republic through its glassmaking industry. It is a fantastic reminder to give your best go to complete your resolutions and earn your “independence” from previous fitness, health, career, etc. obstacles.
Unique focal point
As mentioned, art can be beautiful for the sake of it. When you want to make a statement in your interior with an artsy piece, you need to look for something unique. Art has a unique way of expressing a message. It establishes the feeling in the room and reflects your intentions. Yet, a mass-produced artsy focus misses the point of art. It becomes a consumable that you find in every other house. When you intentionally seek a unique art creation, you bring a constant source of motivation to cultivate your uniqueness. Perhaps, in a fast-paced environment, the most important New Year’s resolution is to be yourself, rather than follow the examples of influencers and personality. Embracing your personality and mind is the most important self-improvement journey, and it’s something your unique art piece will remind you of every day.
Embrace unique furniture items
Mass-produced items are practical: They are cheap and easy to replace. They are also not made to last, therefore they become meaningless in your interior style. While there’s space for practical chain-produced items (such as for storage options), you need to bring your rooms to life with distinguishable furniture. The market for vintage furniture is full of reliable and intentional items that can bring your decor together. Whether you pick a vintage chair or an old wooden cabinet, each unit is a celebration of the care and attention of artisan makers. They took the time to build something beautiful that can last for years. Similarly, you need to take the time to invest in yourself.
A grown-up decor doesn’t have to be dull. On the contrary, your decor can reflect on your personal aspirations, encouraging you to fulfill your dreams at the start of a new year. As you upgrade some elements of your interior, you also focus on solutions that can keep you motivated. A grown-up decor is a retrospective project that helps you grow further.
