Whether one is tackling an overdue decluttering project or seeking inspiration for a stylish overhaul
2025 marks its way with high hopes and spirits, enhancing our lives with new ideas and fresh minds. This year homeowners aim to begin their new year by decluttering and decorating their homes for a rejuvenating year ahead. By decluttering and decorating with intention, one can set the tone for 2025, aligning the surroundings with aspirations for the year ahead. Whether one is tackling an overdue decluttering project or seeking inspiration for a stylish overhaul, the insights and tips from the best designers in the industry will guide you in crafting a space that fosters positivity and decluttering.
Limiting Items in the Available Space
People often buy various items to showcase their style, but lack spaces for display! This idealogy can be interchanged by letting the space determine the elements needed. “Purchase a specific quantity of seasonal storage tubs, and keep what they can contain. You will ultimately value the things you cling onto more if you have limited storage space, which will force you to save the most prized stuff. Bedrooms, kitchens, and linen closets are additional areas where you can store your belongings”, says Ar. Gagandeep Kapila, Founder and Principal Architect, Workshop for Metropolitan Architecture.
Elevating Spaces with Greenery
With an idea to start with fresh perspectives, adding greenery to homes can uplift the atmosphere of the space. “For instance, incorporating natural elements like wooden furniture and earthy tones to foster a connection with nature. Plants like succulents, pothos, or snake plants bring life to spaces. In some nooks, botanical designs can add to the essence of the space. Colours like terracotta and muted greens can also elevate spaces with greenery”, adds Ar. Saumitra Bhatkhalkar, Founder and Principal Architect, Studio SB.
Decorating Kitchens and Bedrooms
Spaces like bedrooms and kitchens can be thoughtfully decluttered and decorated for a fresh start. “In bedrooms, organise your closet and eliminate items that no longer fit your lifestyle. Use calming colours like blues and greens, invest in quality bedding and incorporate dimmable lighting for a cosy ambiance. In kitchens, discard expired pantry items and streamline your kitchen tools. Add open shelving to showcase beautiful crockery or install under-cabinet lighting for a modern touch,” asserts Gagandeep.
Connection Between Space and Mindset
The environment of the home can profoundly influence your mood, habits, and outlook on life. “A well-organised and beautifully decorated home can have a positive impact on mental and physical health. For instance, a tidy, functional space fosters focus and efficiency. Additionally, thoughtful decor choices, like warm lighting and uplifting colours, can elevate your mood. Hues like grey, beige, and taupe can enhance the mind and evoke a sense of decluttering in homes”, explains Saumitra.
Decluttering and decorating your home is an opportunity to design a life of intention, clarity, and beauty. So, as you prepare for the year ahead, ask yourself: How can your home inspire the life you want to lead? The answer lies in the power of decluttering and decorating, setting the perfect tone for an extraordinary 2025.
