As the new year begins, many of us feel the urge to update our living spaces. Whether it’s giving your living room a fresh look, upgrading your bedroom, or reimagining your dining area, refreshing your home for 2025 doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. By focusing on high-quality, Canadian-made furniture, strategic updates, and taking advantage of savings like Smitty’s Mid-Winter Savings, you can transform your space while staying on budget!
With extra savings of 5% off orders over $1000, 10% off orders over $3000, and 15% off orders over $5,000 (on Canadian-made brands) now is the perfect time to start planning your home refresh. Here’s how to maximize your updates without overspending:
1. Start Small: Simple Updates That Make a Big Impact
You don’t need to overhaul your entire home to create a noticeable change. Even small, intentional updates can breathe new life into your space and make it feel refreshed and inviting. By focusing on a few key details or swapping out tired elements, you can achieve a fresh look without a major renovation or hefty expense. Small updates can go a long way in transforming your home into a space that feels new and exciting.
Swap Out Accent Pieces
-
Throw Pillows and Blankets: Choose colours and patterns that reflect 2025’s trending tones, like soft neutrals or bold jewel shades, to give your sofa a fresh, seasonal look.
-
Area Rugs: A new rug can anchor a room, adding warmth and tying together your furniture.
Update Your Lighting
-
Switch out outdated table lamps or overhead fixtures for modern designs. Opt for energy-efficient LED bulbs to save on energy costs while creating a cozy ambiance.
Accessorize Thoughtfully
-
Add greenery with low-maintenance houseplants or new decorative pieces like vases and framed prints. These small touches can instantly refresh your space without a large investment.
2. Focus on Key Rooms
Instead of tackling your entire home at once, focus your efforts on the rooms where you spend the most time or the areas that would benefit the most from a refresh. Prioritizing these spaces ensures your updates will have the biggest impact, creating a noticeable improvement that you can enjoy daily.
Start with high-traffic areas like the living room, where family and guests gather, or the bedroom, where comfort and relaxation are key. By targeting specific rooms, you can concentrate your budget and energy on making meaningful changes, rather than spreading yourself too thin across your entire home. This strategic approach allows you to see results faster and make the most of your investment.
Living Room
-
Sofas and Sectionals: If your seating is starting to show wear and tear, consider upgrading to a new piece. Canadian-made brands like Palliser and Decor-Rest offer customizable options, so you can tailor your furniture to fit your space and style.
-
Coffee Tables and Side Tables: Swap out outdated tables for sleek, modern designs or rustic, reclaimed wood options to change the tone of the room.
Bedroom
-
Mattresses: Start 2025 with better sleep by upgrading your mattress. With Mid-Winter Savings, you can save on high-quality options from brands like Serta and Kingsdown.
-
Bedding and Upholstered Beds: A new bedframe or fresh bedding can completely change the look of your bedroom while improving your comfort.
Dining Room
-
Dining Sets: Replace mismatched or outdated dining chairs with custom options to breathe new life into your dining area. Canadian-made dining tables are a durable and stylish option for hosting gatherings in 2025.
-
Storage Solutions: A sideboard or buffet can add functionality and style, creating a polished look for your dining space.
3. Invest in Canadian-Made Furniture
When updating your home, it’s important to choose furniture that combines durability, quality, and timeless design to ensure your investment stands the test of time.

Repurpose Existing Pieces

Old Dressers as Sideboards: Give your old furniture a new lease on life with a coat of paint and a new purpose.

Rearrange Your Furniture

Change the layout of your living room or bedroom to create a new flow and make the space feel refreshed. Try moving your sofa to a different wall or swapping the placement of chairs and tables.
6. Refresh with a Pop of Colour
A splash of colour can do wonders for your home’s atmosphere, instantly brightening up the space and creating a fresh, inviting vibe—all without requiring a big spend. Small changes like adding vibrant throw pillows, a cozy blanket in a bold hue, or an eye-catching piece of artwork can transform the look and feel of a room. For a more permanent update, consider an accent wall or repainting furniture in a trending shade. These simple additions of colour not only refresh your space but also allow you to experiment with new styles and create a personalized look on a budget.
Paint Walls or Furniture
-
A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a room. Opt for trending colours like soft greens or warm beiges to keep your space modern and inviting.
