New Year | Fresh Space

A new year has a way of making everything feel possible. It’s a natural reset. An invitation to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for what’s next. Just as we set intentions for ourselves, the start of the year is the perfect time to refresh our spaces and align our homes with the energy we want to bring into the months ahead.

Set the Tone for the Year You Want

As you step into the new year, think about the feeling you want your home to convey. Do you want your space to feel calm and grounding? Creative and energizing? Cozy and restorative? Your home should support how you want to live and what you want to focus on this year. Consider what you want to surround yourself with daily; colors, textures, and pieces that inspire you and support your goals.

Edit Before You Add

Before bringing anything new into your home, start with editing your space. Take a thoughtful look at what’s already there and ask yourself what truly belongs. Remove items that no longer align with your lifestyle, style, or the energy you’re trying to create. Purging first allows your space to breathe and makes any future updates feel more intentional and impactful.

Declutter After the Holidays

As the holidays wrap up, it’s the perfect time to remove seasonal décor and reset your home. Pack away ornaments, winter accents, and excess décor, and use this moment to declutter surfaces and refine your shelves. A more curated, simplified space instantly feels lighter and more refreshed, and sets a strong foundation for what’s next.

Refresh with Simple Updates

Once you’ve purged and decluttered, it’s time to refresh. One of the easiest ways to transform a space is by swapping out textiles. Update throw pillows, bedding, and even rugs to reflect a lighter, fresher mood. With spring just around the corner, consider softer palettes and airy textures. For a calming space, lean into earthy neutrals, warm whites, and soft greens.

Another beautiful way to welcome the changing seasons is through florals and greenery. Swap out pine branches and winter arrangements for fresh greenery or bright spring florals. These small changes bring life, color, and movement into your home. Check out some of my favorite florals!

Shift the Perspective

Sometimes a refresh doesn’t require anything new at all. Rearranging furniture can give your space an entirely new perspective. Try a new layout, shift seating to highlight natural light, or create more intentional zones for relaxing, working, or gathering.
