There has been a lot of press recently about home environments being linked to health and wellbeing, which actually makes so much sense. So why not make a &#8216;new home&#8217; your project for the new year, it will certainly help to take your mind of those mid-morning munchies.<\/p>\n<p>Giving your home that &#8216;new&#8217; feeling is probably easier than you think. The biggest thing you can do, without spending a penny, is to have a little swap around. Start with changing some pictures around from room to room, try some different photos in your frames or switch up some cushions.<\/p>\n<p>Play around with the position of furniture, change the layout or even the angles and maybe try tables on opposites sides. It&#8217;s human nature to just leave things in &#8216;their place&#8217; but it&#8217;s amazing how fresh things can feel with a little switcheroo.<\/p>\n<p>You can then think about adding a couple of new items to really give a fresh feel to a room. Check out some of the incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/k-by-kelly-hoppen\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z13xipZlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K by Kelly Hoppen<\/a> items we have, there is so much more than just bedding to choose from. I love the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/K-by-Kelly-Hoppen-Buddha-Statue.product.713761.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K by Kelly Hoppen Buddha<\/a> that&#8217;s back in stock after being out for such a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Also take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/bundleberry-by-amanda-holden\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z13xhnZlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BundleBerry<\/a> range by Amanda Holden. I recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/BundleBerry-by-Amanda-Holden-Set-of-2-Small-%26-Medium-Trunks.product.815670.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">storage trunks<\/a> which come in loads of different colour choices. Not forgetting the brilliant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/alison-cork\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z13yhaZlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alison Cork<\/a> who designs some incredible homeware and furniture for us. Check out this gorgeous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/Alison-Cork-Velvet-Storage-Ottoman.product.518935.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ottoman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s a bit of bling you are after, look no further than JM by Mr Sparkle himself, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/jm-by-julien-macdonald\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z13yeeZlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julien Macdonald<\/a> where everything is &#8216;fabulous&#8217; &#8211; said of course in Julien&#8217;s beautiful Welsh accent! I particularly love Julien&#8217;s mirrors. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/JM-by-Julien-Macdonald-Floating-Crystal-Round-Wall-Mirror.product.815066.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">round wall mirror<\/a> being one of my favourites, with the floating crystals.<\/p>\n<p>All of this of course is the icing on the cake and if you really want to get your home off to a flying start for 2022 how about an initial de-clutter and a deep clean. A clutter-free house is said to lead to a clutter-free mind and it does make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>You know that feeling you get when you eventually knuckle down to clearing out a messy drawer, garage or spare room? There&#8217;s a real sense of achievement which is fantastic for your overall well-being and can really lift your spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Now talking of cleaning there&#8217;s a super Vax TSV on its way this Tuesday (18th January). The Vax OnePwr Blade 4 is a powerhouse of a cordless machine with maximum performance and an enhanced run time.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect to help you with that New Year cleaning and superb for maintaining your cleaning on a daily basis. With no loss of suction, fast charging and an exceptional motorised pet tool for stubborn dirt and hair, the Vax will be a great investment in your home cleaning throughout 2022 and beyond, and our TSV offer includes the pro cleaning kit too!<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s a clean sweep for January!<\/p>\n<p>Jilly xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, January is well and truly underway, and I hope this little blog finds you well and not too chilly!
