After the festive season, many of us crave calm and a fresh start at home. The Christmas tree is taken down, the lights are packed away, and suddenly, your interior can feel a little empty. That’s why January is the perfect moment to refresh your interior. With a few smart styling tips, you can easily bring warmth and atmosphere back into your space. From festive to fresh!

From festive to fresh

Create space

A new year is the ideal time to start decluttering and reorganising. Remove any unnecessary accessories and keep only the items you truly love. A minimalist base creates a calm look, leaving room for fresh accents. Think soft cushions, light home textiles, and natural materials such as wood and rattan—a fresh interior to start the year.

Bring colour back with flowers and plants

After all the red, green and gold of December, you’re probably ready for something different in January. But without those festive colours, your interior may feel a little dull. Houseplants are the perfect way to bring colour and life back into your home. The Anthurium is especially suitable, as it comes in a wide variety of colours—from pure white to deep purple. It also blooms for a long time, allowing you to enjoy vibrant colour for months. Place a large Anthurium as a statement piece in the living room, or combine several smaller ones to create a cheerful green corner.

Flowers are another simple and effective way to refresh your interior in January. A carefully chosen bouquet adds softness, colour and a sense of renewal to your space. Placed on a dining table, sideboard or kitchen counter, fresh flowers instantly bring warmth and energy into the home — even on the coldest winter days.

Create warmth with natural light

With the Christmas lights gone, your home may look a bit gloomier. Add warm, gentle light sources that brighten the space without overwhelming it. Table lamps, floor lamps and wall lights with warm tones create a cosy atmosphere – just like festive lighting.
