The Freshest Start

A new year brings new beginnings with bracing breezes and boundless optimism. Candles flicker on windowsills from dawn until dusk, and lanternlight leads the way to brighter days as we leave the darkness behind, wrap up warm, and step outside beneath clear winter skies. Spaces are airy, décor is clean and classic, and twinkling lights bring sparkle to all reaches of the home: a reading nook, a candlelit corner, or a desk scattered with blank pages just waiting to be journaled on. Put your best foot forward and step into a season of positivity, planning, and lighter days ahead.

New year, fresh start. As we head into 2025, we have put together our ultimate January checklist to ensure you enter the new year with a fresh mindset and home:

Gone are the slow, lazy mornings of the Christmas season, and inbound are brighter mornings. Switch up your routine this January with early wake-up calls to start your day right, and introduce more movement into your daily routine whether that be a slow morning walk with a good podcast, or heading to an exercise class to energise you for the day ahead.

We know that our environment has a huge impact on our mindset, so take time this January to take any remaining festive decorations down and embrace the opportunity for a new year refresh in your home. Declutter any overcrowded spaces and replace with fresh décor to give your mind and environment a fresh new look.

Find your balance this winter solstice by taking the time to relax and recharge. Often feeling depleted in the depths of the long winter months, we take the time to rest and recuperate as we await the arrival of the much-anticipated brighter days and glimpses of Spring.

Helping to clear out the unwanted clutter and create space in your mind, a complete life audit will help provide focus for the year ahead. Reflect on all work, social, financial, and mental elements of your life to see what needs attention this year and where to focus your intentions, as well as collating together a list of any little outstanding jobs you have been putting off in the busyness of the festive season.

Although the New Year normally comes with high expectations to set yourself an abundance of goals, take the pressure off this January by making small, simple changes instead. Micro-habits are the easiest way to introduce change and will gently ease you into the year ahead.
