New Beginnings Start at Home:
Refresh Your Space for the New Year
As we step into a fresh new year, it’s the perfect time to bring a sense of renewal to our homes. January might feel quieter after the holiday chaos, but this season presents a unique opportunity to refresh your space, creating a calm, cozy retreat from the cold and a sense of peace for the months ahead.
Here are four simple yet effective ways to breathe new life into your home and welcome the new year with open arms.
1
Bring Life Into Your Home with Floral Arrangements
Flowers are nature’s way of adding color, life, and energy to any space. Even during the cold, dark winter months, you can enjoy the beauty of fresh blooms. Consider adding stunning floral arrangements in beautiful vases around your home. Whether it’s a classic bouquet or a more unique selection of seasonal flowers, the colors and textures will instantly brighten your environment. Place them on a kitchen counter, in your living room, or even in your bedroom for a touch of nature’s elegance.

Try a New Layout and Cozy Up with Warm Throws
Changing the layout of a room might be just the thing you need to make your space feel new again. One of our favorite activities at the storefront is rearranging furniture to craft fresh, beautiful vignettes that showcase how different pieces work together and fit into various room settings. Try moving furniture around to create a fresh flow or experiment with different arrangements. A new layout can give your home a completely different feel, making it more inviting and comfortable.
When you’re updating your space, don’t forget to add cozy touches like warm throws and soft blankets. Draping the Finn Throw or Anacapa Oversized thrown over your couch or bed can make a room feel instantly cozier, encouraging relaxation on those chilly nights. These simple additions will bring warmth and comfort, perfect for settling in during the colder months.

Enhance Your Lighting to Brighten Up the Winter Evenings
With the days getting shorter and the sun setting as early as 4 p.m., lighting becomes essential for creating a welcoming atmosphere at home. Brighten up your space with layered lighting—combining overhead lights, lamps, and perhaps some accent lighting. Opt for warm-toned bulbs that create a cozy, inviting glow. This will make your home feel cheerful and bright!
4
Scent Your Home with Wonderful Candles
A wonderful scent can make your home feel even more inviting. Candles are an easy way to add warmth to your space, not only through their soft glow but also through their fragrant aromas. Whether you choose comforting scents like vanilla, cinnamon, or cedarwood, or something refreshing like mint tea or eucalyptus, the right candle can set the perfect mood for any room.
To top it off, pair your scent with beautiful matches. From cloches, to boxes, to striker pots… we’ve got every type of match vessel you could think of. Give yourself easy (lighter) access and a beautiful table accessory.
Your home should be your sanctuary.
A new year calls for a new perspective, and there’s no better place to start than at home. With these simple yet effective changes, you can transform your space into a cozy, inviting retreat that helps you unwind and recharge during the winter months.
Happy New Year from us, and here’s to another year of making home, home! May this year be filled with fresh starts and endless moments of comfort and joy.
