In case you haven't already snagged a 50% off 2010 "Cute 'n Cuddly Puppies" or "Twilight" calendar (or even if you have -- toss it!), I suggest starting off the new year on a design-savvy note and opting for a wall calendar that's both unique and complementary to your home. After all, with all the electronic and PDA-powered personal calendars out there, regular ol' wall hangers are really just for show nowadays... so you might as well choose one that makes a statement! If you're looking for one that's simple-chic (and can even take you through the years to come!), this perpetual calendar designed by Massimo Vignelli is clean yet still stylish. Or if you're hoping for something a little quirkier, this 2010 Bubble Wrap calendar is a clever way to keep track of the passing days. Browse the slideshow for more unique wall calendars to add some 2010 flavor to your home!
Make A Bold Statement With Colorblock Home Decor

The colorblock craze is one that I like very much. There is nothing more sophisticated than that classic combo of black and white. Bright, solid hues matched with black or each other make for an eye-catching and fashionable ensemble. It's such an easy and appealing way to add interest and color, it's a wonder that it hasn't caught on in home decor as well. Be a trend-setter and apply this tried and true style statement to your home. You can choose a few of your favorite colors and use them in a number of accents. Throw pillows and rugs are an easy way to go and make boring rooms more colorful and energetic. Items like placemats and shower curtains are also fun and easy ways to spruce up your living space and give your home a harmonious theme without having to spend too much!
