Refresh your spaces to build helpful habits

The beginning of the year naturally feels like a fresh start, so it's perfect for refreshing and resetting your home. As you declutter and clean, you create more space in your home, making it feel more open and inviting. A tidy space is also easier to maintain, and perhaps most importantly, it encourages a sense of calm.

A thorough reset at any time of the year can help establish good habits of preventing clutter and grime from building up in the first place, meaning you can keep on top of household chores and enjoy spending time at home.
