The 2026 Resolutions Refresh
New Year, New You, & New Views
The start of a new year invites reflection—not only on where we’ve been, but on how we live, gather, and find beauty in our everyday spaces. At Wisteria, we believe resolutions need not be rigid or fleeting. Instead, they can be rooted in intention: choosing pieces that last, stories that resonate, and homes that feel deeply personal. This season is not about reinvention for its own sake, but about refinement—editing what no longer serves you and welcoming what feels thoughtful, meaningful, and enduring. As the calendar turns, there’s a collective desire for calm, balance, and connection. Our homes become the setting for that shift, offering spaces to reset, recharge, and reimagine daily rituals.
From morning light filtering through a living room to evenings spent around a well-loved table, the environments we create shape how we move through the year ahead. Wisteria’s approach to the new year is grounded in timeless design, global inspiration, and craftsmanship that honors tradition while feeling relevant now. This is a moment to invest in pieces that tell a story, that feel collected rather than decorated, and that grow more beautiful with time. As you set intentions for the months ahead, we invite you to do so through design—curating a home that reflects who you are, where you’ve traveled, and how you wish to live in the year to come.
A living room refresh is often the most transformative resolution you can make for your home. It is the space where days begin slowly and evenings unfold naturally, where conversations linger and moments are shared. Rather than chasing trends, the new year calls for grounding the living room in comfort, craftsmanship, and character. Thoughtfully chosen seating—whether a tailored sofa, a sculptural accent chair, or a classic bench—sets the tone, creating a space that feels welcoming yet intentional. Layering is key: mixing textures, finishes, and silhouettes to achieve a room that feels lived-in rather than staged.
At Wisteria, we gravitate toward designs that balance elegance with ease—pieces that feel just as suited for quiet mornings as they do for hosting friends. Coffee tables anchor the room, offering both function and presence, while side tables and consoles provide moments for styling, display, and utility. A refreshed living room is not about replacing everything, but about making deliberate choices that enhance how the space is used. It’s about selecting furniture that invites you to linger, to gather, and to feel at home. As part of your new year’s reset, the living room becomes a reflection of your priorities: comfort without compromise, beauty with purpose, and design that supports the rhythms of everyday life.
Rugs are often underestimated, yet they are one of the most powerful tools in shaping a room. As a new year begins, introducing a new rug can redefine a space entirely—adding warmth, texture, and a sense of cohesion. A rug grounds furniture, softens architecture, and brings balance to a room, making it feel complete. Whether placed beneath a living room seating arrangement, under a dining table, or at the foot of a bed, rugs establish a visual and emotional foundation. At Wisteria, our approach to rugs is rooted in craftsmanship and story. Handwoven textures, time-honored patterns, and rich materials create pieces that feel collected rather than mass-produced. A rug can introduce subtle color, echo architectural details, or provide contrast to smooth surfaces like wood or stone.

In the new year, rugs become an opportunity to layer in comfort while elevating the overall design of your home. They offer softness underfoot during winter months and a sense of continuity as seasons change. Choosing the right rug is about more than scale or color—it’s about how it makes a room feel. A well-chosen rug anchors the space, inviting you to settle in and begin the year with intention, warmth, and a renewed appreciation for the details that bring a home together.
For those who find inspiration in travel, the new year is a chance to bring the world home. Wisteria’s designs are shaped by a love of global artistry—pieces that reflect cultures, materials, and traditions gathered from near and far. In China, centuries-old techniques inspire intricate patterns, hand-painted finishes, and porcelain traditions that feel both decorative and refined. Greece offers a different perspective: clean lines, sculptural forms, and a reverence for stone and marble that lends a sense of quiet strength. Italy contributes a legacy of craftsmanship—elegant silhouettes, artisanal detailing, and a dedication to beauty that feels effortless yet intentional.
These influences are not about replication, but reinterpretation—honoring the spirit of each place while creating pieces that belong in modern homes. The travel log becomes a design philosophy: mixing influences, layering stories, and curating interiors that feel worldly yet cohesive. Furniture and décor inspired by global destinations add depth to a space, offering moments of discovery and conversation. As the year unfolds, these pieces serve as reminders of journeys taken and destinations yet to explore. They bring a sense of curiosity and cultural richness into everyday life, turning your home into a reflection of the places that inspire you most.
As resolutions take shape and routines settle in, the home remains a constant—a place to return to, to recharge, and to reconnect. Designing with intention at the start of the year sets the tone for everything that follows.
As you move forward, let your home reflect your intentions: comfort, craftsmanship, and a sense of discovery. With Wisteria, the new year is an invitation—to slow down, to curate with care, and to surround yourself with designs that feel timeless yet personal. Here’s to a year lived beautifully, thoughtfully, and inspired by the world around you.
