New year, new home: Small changes for a big refresh

New year, new home: Small changes for a big refresh

The start of a new year is the perfect excuse to look at your home with fresh eyes. Once the Christmas tree is packed away and the fairy lights are stored, the space feels like it can finally “breathe” again – quietly asking for a gentle yet meaningful update. There’s no need for drastic changes; with a few thoughtful touches, you can create a winter setting that radiates warmth and style. 

Set the mood with light and scent 

Lighting is everything when it comes to winter décor. A statement lamp, such as the The R Space Lamp by Gingko Tricks & Treats doubles as a piece of art while casting a soft, atmospheric glow. For a more playful vibe, the Balance Magilum desk lamp by InnovaGoods Octopus adds a modern edge and a design-forward feel to your workspace. Pair these with the timeless elegance of a Georg Jensen stainless steel and gold candleholder,and complete the experience with a scented candle. The White Birch candle with crystal stones from Flying Tiger Copenhagen fills the room with a clean, natural aroma, perfect for chilly winter days. 

Play with textures for a cozy feel 

Winter calls for rich, inviting textures. A soft throw, like the Brooklyn armchair throw by Nef-Nef Homeware, can instantly transform the look of your living room. Add a distinctive cushion, such as the Missoni Riccio – available at Parousiasi, for a pop of color and a signature design touch in your living room or bedroom. Even the bathroom benefits from small updates. The green Felicity face towel by Artisti Italiani Masoutis brings a subtle spa-like vibe to your daily routine, proving that true luxury lies in quality and attention to detail. 

Create a character-filled corner 

Every home needs a corner that tells a story. A decorative tray like the mirrored Romolo from Domus Homus is perfect for displaying favorite objects or jewelry, while the textured ceramic vase from ZARA Home adds material depth and minimalist elegance, beautifully framing your floral arrangements. Finish the look with a coffee table book such as “Chanel – The Little Books of Fashion” from IANOS, and you’ve created a corner that blends aesthetics with inspiration. 

Indulge in small everyday pleasures 

Refreshing your home isn’t just about décor – it’s also about the moments you experience within your personal sanctuary. A green cup and teapot set by Maxwell & Williams from Cook-Shop, or the Nespresso Loop Mugs for espresso, turn your favorite drink into a small daily ritual. Because, in the end, a new year is all about new habits and home is the best place to enjoy them.
