Post-Holiday Refresh: Revive Your Living Spaces

1. Declutter & Reset

Start your event decor by tackling one room at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. This focused approach allows for a thorough clean and creates a ripple effect, making it easier to transition to the next task. Adjusting expectations can facilitate starting the process. To save time, use a specialized container for decor items instead of wrapping each one individually, preventing breakage and streamlining packing.

2. Clean the Rugs & Fabrics

QUICKTIPS

• To clean a rug or fabric after the holiday season, thoroughly vacuum it to remove loose debris.
• Sprinkle baking soda on the surface, let it sit for a short time to absorb odors, and vacuum again.
• For stubborn stains, use a soft brush and diluted vinegar solution to spot clean, always testing a hidden area first to ensure colorfastness.

3. Bring Fresh Flowers or Greeneries

After removing holiday decorations, adding floral arrangements and plants can rejuvenate your home.

4. Create ‘Me-Time’ Zones

It is a beautiful and festive thing having your home filled with loved ones, but it’s also important to have quiet moments for yourself, such as reading or enjoying a cup of coffee. Dedicating “me-time” and creating intentional relaxation spaces can help you recharge and restore balance in your home.

5. Reset Your WFH Space

Your workspace may double as a guest room during the holiday season, making now the ideal time to return it to its original purpose and prepare for exciting opportunities ahead!

QUICKTIPS

• Begin by removing holiday clutter and temporary furniture.
• Clean your desk and shelves to promote a tidy workspace.
• Finally, add inspiring items like a potted plant, stylish lamp, family photo, or a 2025 calendar or journal to enhance your environment.
