The New Year is truly the time to try out new things and this also holds true for your wall paint. It is also the time to give your home a fresh new look and usher in a new beginning in your life. The difficult part here could be choosing that perfect colour to lend your interior a fresh look. Well, we are going to help you out in picking that perfect colour by bringing you a list of the trendiest colours in wall paint this year.

Your first option could be a vibrant Mediterranean blue, which when paired with grey or pink, can transform your interiors to a fabulous space. Olives and orange is another colour combination which has the potential to give a new life to your walls while also looking extremely chic and stylish. The neon craze does not seem to be in a hurry to leave and has emerged, yet again, as one of the best options for home décor.

The best way to use neon is to pair it with pastel pallets of purple, green and aqua, which will aid the neon in standing out. Use greens, blues, beiges and whites, and watch your house transform into a Renaissance painting! Want your walls to not just look great but also hot, then grey is your go-to colour. If you have chosen to settle for grey walls, then the best thing for you to do is to combine a soft grey shade with charcoal accents and a greyish white ceiling. Last but not the least, for all the art lovers out there, you can opt for rich shades of plum.

All of us would like our houses to be organized and look straight out of an interior décor magazine but the reality is often different from what we would like it to be. So, generally what our house or certain parts of it look like, are cluttered corners. The general perception is that the clutter is a result of having too much stuff around. However, clutter is often a result of the way you go about organizing your home. We hate to be the ones to break it to you but despite your best intentions, it is you who is cluttering your own house.

This is no reason for depression and by keeping a few simple things in mind you can enhance your organizational skills. The first part of the plan is to realize that buying lots of bins and boxes is not the solution to your problem. Before shopping for storage space, figure out which items you need to store, as this is the most important part. This is essential because we become emotionally attached to stuff lying around and then keep hoarding it for eternity. Well, that has to stop now. You may have stuff that was given to you as a gift or holds special value for you but accept the fact that every item has an expiry date and needs to be disposed of when the time comes.

The next thing is to not take up the task of cleaning the entire house at a single go, proceed in this area with baby steps. You need both time and energy to be able to do justice to this task and taking up more than you can manage to do will only lead to an early burn-out. The best way to go about this is to take baby steps towards de-cluttering your space and master housekeeping!

The ritual of closet cleaning is just a futile exercise for many of us and despite regular maintenance, our closets are probably at their messiest best! It is a nightmare, especially for women, since they tend to get overly attached with their clothing! We agree that the sheer impossibility of the task is daunting but we have a few simple clear-headed tips which can help you clear the disorder in a jiffy!

There is a reason why some clothes are still lying there without ever getting their tags removed! We have all been at that point when we thought a certain dress will look great on us but realized our mistake too late and never looked at the dress again. So, now is the time to give that dress away to someone who can make it work or to charity! Next in line are all those clothes hanging in your closet for pure sentimental reasons. Do yourself a favour and do away with those frayed items of clothing, keep the memories but let go of the items!

The next item on your list should be the teeny tiny knick-knacks which take up considerable space in your wardrobe. For instance, clear up the pile of socks that has lost their partners from your closet. Use them as rags or anything else; just understand that they cannot be used as items of clothing anymore. After the mismatched socks have been done away with, it's now time for items like college tees, items with blown-up elastic, clothes that don't fit anymore, stained or damaged clothes or even clothes saved from past relationships that need to go.

While you're at it, also make sure to do away with clothes which are out of style and the clothes whose colours have faded. We are sure that after you're done, you will thank us and also yourself for paying heed to our advice. Happy de-cluttering!
