A new year often brings with it a new beginning. A new chance to make some changes to your life. Whether that be personal changes or changes to your home. For me, I always like to start the new year with a new outlook on life.
2017 is bringing with it a new more active, more healthy, more in tune with my own body ‘me’! This means that I want my home to reflect this as well.
A new mattress for my bed would be a great start. Getting a good nights sleep is the key to a good mood for a good day! We’ve had our mattress for a little while now and I remember hearing somewhere that you should change your mattress every 8 years. I wonder if that figure increases if you share a bed with your children?! Maybe I should do some research into that!
Our current mattress is really comfortable, but I feel it’s missing a bit of support. That’s where I think a memory foam mattress could help. I know that these types of mattresses offer great support because they adjust to the shape of your body when you’re sleeping and they can correctly align your spine, which, by the way, also helps maintain your posture.
Of course if I’m going to have a new mattress then I should probably invest in some new bedding too! These are some of my favourites and they’re available online from Fishpools.

My favourite one out of the four pictured above is the one in the bottom left hand corner. I love the mix of yellow with great and the leaf pattern for symbolises turning over a new leaf, which is quite fitting for me this year!
I also love the one in the top left hand corner. The burst of that berry colour would certainly warm me up on a cold morning!
Do you have any plans to freshen up your home this year?
