There are countless ways to incorporate this year’s Color of the Year into your home decor, ranging from larger additions to simple home decor items. Check out our tips below for inspiration and let us know how you plan on adding Classic Blue into your homes!
Accent Pillows and Blankets
While adding in a new color to your home decor can seem daunting, accent pillows and blankets are a great place to start. They offer a fairly inexpensive solution for updating your home while making a huge impact on the overall aesthetic. Try mixing patterns, textures, and hues to create a cohesive and stylish space!
Walls
Whether you want to fully embrace adding Classic Blue into your home by painting your walls, or opt for a more subtle approach by adding in some artwork, don’t forget about your wall space!
Decorative items
This is perhaps the simplest and most inexpensive way to incorporate a new color into your home decor. Once you have a color palette in mind, like pairing basic neutrals with the cool tones of Classic Blue, head on over to your favorite home store and start browsing! Look for items that fit into your existing decor, like a new vase, coffee table books, coasters, picture frames, or table lamps.
January is national hobby month, which means it’s the perfect time to pick up a new way to fill your time and fulfill your heart. From fishing every Friday to perfecting your pastries, there’s plenty out there for you to enjoy.
Saltwater Fishing
If you’re looking to create a more relaxed version of yourself in the New Year, you’ll find the answer to that in saltwater fishing. There are tons of benefits to the sport: you’ll spend plenty of time outside, you’ll have time to meditate, and when you get a fish on the line, you’ll get your adrenaline pumping, too!
There are plenty of places around Tampa Bay to perfect your cast. Reel in a trophy fish at Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier State Park, or get hooked on the sport from a boat or kayak at Fort Desoto County Park. For more saltwater fishing spots around Tampa Bay, check out this guide.
Perfect Your Pastries
Baking has always beckoned you, and there’s no better time to start than today. Baking is a great way to feel more fulfilled, learn valuable kitchen skills, and best of all, make your home smell incredible.
If you live in a Lennar home, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the fantastic GE® ENERGY STAR® appliances throughout your home. These state-of-the-art appliances make baking easy, thanks to powerful ovens that keep a stable temperature and offer plenty of room for your breads and pastries.
Reach Those Stretch Goals
One trend that’s growing in popularity with good reason is yoga. The meditative practice works wonders for your mental and physical state. Plus, it can feel like you’re playing around, which gives you a reason to keep coming back!
In every Lennar community across Tampa Bay, you’ll find open-concept floor plans that are perfect for getting into the practice. Plus, a spacious floor plan means you have plenty of room to invite your friends and family over for a weekly yoga session.
The Joy of Painting
There are tons of benefits to the practice, including memory strengthening and stress relief. Plus, there are a ton of different styles to practice, which means you’ll never grow tired of painting.
Best of all, you’ll never be lacking in subject material. Florida is an incredibly picturesque state, filled with beautiful beaches, forests, and booming cities. No matter where in Florida you are, you’re sure to find something that will inspire your artistic spirit.
From opportunities to get outside to pastry-perfecting practices, there are plenty of hobbies out there that invigorate your mind, body, and spirit. For more ways to feel fulfilled in the New Year, be sure to like Lennar on Facebook.
As the nation’s leading homebuilder, one of the best compliments we receive are referrals.
