From deep decluttering to adding seasonal colour, here’s how you can help your abode feel warm and welcoming.
And in-turn, provide a happy and healthy space for you and family to thrive
A healthy home environment will give back too, supporting you so you can achieve your end of year goals more easily.
Consume a little color. Just as we should eat a rainbow of different-colored foods to stay healthy, so can our homes benefit from a blast of mood-boosting brights. Start small by introducing colorful china to your table, or scatter a few zippy cushions around, then see how much brighter and cheerier your home (and you) feels.
Breathe easily. A blast of fresh air every day will boost your mood, but depending on where you live, it can be impractical to open the windows for too long during the winter. However, you can improve the feel of your home’s atmosphere and freshen it up by lighting naturally scented candles or dotting a few essential-oil diffusers around the place.
Lose weight. Our homes, just like us, often carry a little excess baggage. Losing this starts with a targeted declutter. Whether it’s your wardrobe, a crazily jumbled kitchen drawer or your children’s toy cupboard, carefully sort through everything, arranging items in piles according to whether you’re keeping them, tossing them or giving them away to charity. Be ruthless and watch the weight fall off.
*Big shine for small spaces. Our team can always lend a hand with our premium cleaning service designed for comfortable condo living. You can learn more on and book our Condo service over here.
Watch your intake. Once you’ve shed weight in your home through decluttering, be careful not to let the excess creep back. Think carefully before buying new pieces. Try the one in, one out approach, or limit purchases to things intended to replace broken or damaged items.
Cut down on sweets. In human terms, this could be chocolate, cake or wine. In domestic terms, we’re talking cute objects that take up valuable space. That means editing children’s teddy bears and toys, losing a holiday souvenir or whimsical knickknack here and there, and ditching items you cling to because they were gifts even though they’re not your style.
Until next time take care,
