New Year Goals: Simplify with 2019's 4 Best Finds

There’s a lot of chatter about goals this time of year that come with a flurry of hashtags. Here’s one that takes minimal effort with a big payoff: Simplify. And we’re not just talking about pairing down the living room in muted colors. The decade has provided on-demand inspiration through the growth of social media. It also comes with challenges. More things, updated homes, renovate this and that. Here’s to less scrolling and more living. This year consider your spaces, favorite items, and why they’re all that’s needed to make a home happy.

Four Must-Have Items to Add to the 2020 List

Pair down with simple luxuries for 2020.

Peshtemal Towels: The Peshtemal, also called fouta or Turkish towel, is a beach resort darling. It’s no wonder their spectrum of colors, styles, durability and comfort is a dynamic addition to any space. Turkish towels are affordable too, which allows you to buy in bulk, making it an easier option to test out color whims over new paint.

Not just for drying off, peshtemal towels are a versatile addition to the home.

2. Nesting Crates: Move over canvas bins, weathered nesting crates is a classic way to organize those things you can’t seem to part with. From loose papers to guest towels, everyday items are given stylish support.

An attractive away to store necessities is with nesting crates.

3. Candles: What doesn’t take up space, can warm up a mood and emits luxury? You got it, the scented candle may be the most timeless trend that stimulates the senses. We can’t get enough of them and are already working on our annual 2020 Scents of the Year picks.

Quickest way to perk up a mood? Scented candles.

4. Art: Don’t let the #4 placement fool you, art directs a well-designed home. Paintings only take up wall space, creating that soul-reaching mood that has the same residual as a 6-hour hike. If there’s one piece to invest in this year, find a piece that speaks to you or have something handsomely framed at the right price with companies like Framebridge.
