The ancient Babylonians celebrated the New Year with a spring festival in which they made promises to the gods to pay debts (and to all-around, be good). Fast forward to 46 B.C. and Julius Caesar rejiggered the calendar so the year would start in January to honor the Roman god Janus (the god of beginnings and defender of the home and hearth). Clearly Caesar\u2019s swap was a success that has stuck. Modern-day resolutions continue the ancient theme of January declarations of renewal. This January, in a nod to Janus, make a resolution to refresh your own home and hearth. We spoke to several psychologists for some expert tips on how strategic d\u00e9cor updates can do wonders to granting mindfulness. A January with a dash of serenity and a more spatial-feeling interior to boot? Sounds like a Happy New Year to us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54433\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54433\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/05LondonTerrace-e1451217389813.jpg\" alt=\"Janson Goldstein organized and edited this collection of books, photography and objects.\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/05LondonTerrace-e1451217389813.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/05LondonTerrace-e1451217389813-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/05LondonTerrace-e1451217389813-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Janson Goldstein organized and edited this collection of books, photography and objects.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>The Right Stuff<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cArrange your environment to help, rather than hinder you,\u201d says John Norcross, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the University of Scranton who has been studying resolution making (and breaking) for decades. It\u2019s key to fill your home with strategic furnishings and d\u00e9cor that are useful and emotionally satisfying. Amy Wood, Psy.D defines these as items that are \u201cabsolutely necessary and most meaningful. Photos of your loved ones to honor the past, or objects from nature to remind you of the calming natural world.\u201d Wood warns against holding on to the wrong things. \u201cThrow out anything that reminds you of mistakes you\u2019ve made,\u201d says Wood, \u201cAlso get rid of anything you are keeping out of guilt, like a wedding gift.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_54323\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54323\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WindsorSmith_p176-177-e1451185415399.jpg\" alt=\"A light-filled sitting room by Windsor Smith. \" width=\"580\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WindsorSmith_p176-177-e1451185415399.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WindsorSmith_p176-177-e1451185415399-429x350.jpg 429w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WindsorSmith_p176-177-e1451185415399-120x98.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A light-filled sitting room by Windsor Smith.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Let There Be Light<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lighting is a prized commodity in any interior, and more crucial than ever in the depths of a January winter. \u201cLighting is very much related to mood,\u201d says Wood. She recommends investing in bulbs that mimic natural light and to avoid fluorescent lights at all costs as they are \u201capt to make people feel depressed and anxious.\u201d It is crucial to pick and choose lighting schemes tailored to various spaces in the home. Dimmers are ideal for a living room or den to be conducive to winding down for the day, while brighter lighting is crucial in workspaces, such as the kitchen or office. Wood is a firm believer in eschewing electricity from time to time. \u201cEating by candlelight promotes intimacy and creates a sense of warmth,\u201d she says, \u201cIt reminds us of times of long ago when we were not so rushed and distracted.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_54343\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54343\" class=\"wp-image-54343 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeniotResidence2-e1451185933345.jpg\" alt=\"DeniotResidence2\" width=\"580\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeniotResidence2-e1451185933345.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeniotResidence2-e1451185933345-438x350.jpg 438w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeniotResidence2-e1451185933345-120x96.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mirror creates the illusion of extra space in this Jean-Louis Deniot-designed living room.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Small and Mighty<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Little changes can do wonders to giving an existing space a significant spatial refresh. Joseph Ferrari, PhD, a professor of psychology at DePaul University cautions that dramatic remodeling is not necessarily always the right answer. \u201cShifting furnishings around and staging them differently can feel like a renewal,\u201d says Ferrari. He finds the kitchen to be a ripe staging ground for a revamp. Fixes like putting new knobs on cabinets or giving door faces a fresh coat of paint can do wonders. And it\u2019s a whole lot less invasive (not to mention less stressful) than redoing countertops, Ferrari says. Newness can be injected in small ways throughout the home as well. In a narrow hallway, adding a mirror is an instant way to fake a square footage upgrade.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_54403\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54403\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thomas-Hamel-Kitchen-e1451217221715.jpg\" alt=\"A sunny-hued Melbourne, Australia kitchen by interior designer Thomas Hamel.\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thomas-Hamel-Kitchen-e1451217221715.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thomas-Hamel-Kitchen-e1451217221715-526x350.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thomas-Hamel-Kitchen-e1451217221715-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sunny-hued Melbourne, Australia kitchen by interior designer Thomas Hamel.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Consider Colors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While color preference is a matter of taste, it is undeniable that certain shades trigger specific emotional responses. \u201cGenerally soft blues and greens, which mimic nature, are the most relaxing,\u201d says Wood. It is imperative to let the function of the space guide color choices. She suggests bright yellow (\u201can energizing color\u201d) for the kitchen where you want to feel motivated to cook. And for the bedroom Wood likes soft beige, a hue that lends itself to helping one \u201clet go and relax.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_54373\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54373\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philodenron-e1451186378254.jpg\" alt=\" The Knauer house, designed by Rodney Walker, is filled with plants like philodendron.

Bringing flowers or plants into the home is the <em>natural<\/em> solution, but it\u2019s not necessary to be a green thumb. To get a similar mood boost, Wood recommends paintings of nature, natural objects (\u201ca beautiful plate of sea glass, an interesting piece of driftwood, a bowl of stones\u201d).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_54443\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54443\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-Skyhaus-MM-1510-e1451217865225.jpg\" alt=\" Architecture firm Aidlin Darling created a reflecting pool for this San Francisco home.

Some of her favorite sensory picks include \u201csoft music to stir the soul, art objects to delight the eye, treasured books to stir imagination, and flowers to add color and a nice aroma.\u201d Most importantly, Wood advises remembering that your \u201csurrounding environment greatly influences your thoughts and feelings. Create your environment consciously to make your interior world as pleasant as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Story by Heather Rabkin.
