Reset Your Home in One Weekend

A simple step-by-step home rest

1/4/20262 min read

There’s something magical about the fresh start of the New Year. It’s the perfect time to reset your home, clear the visual noise, and create a space that feels peaceful, intentional, and ready for a new season.

The good news is you don’t need a full week or a massive overhaul. You can reset your entire home in just one weekend!

Follow my step‑by‑step guide to reset and ring in the New Year!

🌿 Day 1: Clear, Clean, and Calm

1. Start With a Whole‑Home Sweep
Walk room to room with a basket and gather anything that’s out of place — cups, toys, mail. This instantly makes your home feel lighter.

2. Declutter the Surfaces

Flat surfaces set the tone of a home. Clear off countertops, nightstands, coffee tables, and dressers. Keep only what you love or use daily. Countertop organizers help to keep essentials without cluttering the space.

3. Refresh Your Textiles

Swap out towels, wash bedding, fluff pillows, and fold blankets. Fresh textiles instantly reset the energy of a room. Adding a cozy throw blanket adds a new warmth and softness to any space!

4. Do a Light Deep Clean

Focus on high‑impact areas:

  • Kitchen counters

  • Bathroom sinks

  • Floors

  • Mirrors

  • Entryway

Remember, you don’t need perfection — just a clean foundation. Using products from Grove Collaborative will have your home smelling great and they're natural, plant-based cleaners perfect for everyday tasks

With that, you're done with Day One!

Day 2: Organize, Simplify, and Set New Rhythms

5. Create Simple Systems That Stick

Choose 2–3 areas that cause the most daily frustration — maybe the pantry, the junk drawer, or the bathroom cabinet — and give them a simple, sustainable system. The pantry is a pain point in our house, I've started tackling that area with these clear storage bins.

6. Reset Your Entryway

This is the first space you see when you walk in. Make it calm and functional:

A tidy entryway sets the tone for the whole home.

7. Refresh One “Emotional Center” of Your Home

This could be:

  • Your bedroom

  • Your living room

  • Your prayer corner

  • Your kitchen table

Add one small touch that brings joy — a candle, a plant, a new pillow, or a decorative wall shelf.

8. Set Your Weekly Home Rhythm

As we ring in the New Year, remember a reset isn’t just about the weekend — it’s about creating habits that keep your home feeling peaceful long after.

Try setting simple routines like:

  • Sunday reset (laundry, floors, I personally love cleaning out the fridge)

  • Midweek tidy (10‑minute pickup)

  • Daily 5‑minute reset (before bed)

These tiny habits keep your home feeling fresh without overwhelm.

🌸 Resetting your home isn’t about striving for perfection — it’s about creating a space that supports your peace, your purpose, and your family. When your home feels calm, you feel calm. When your space is simplified, your mind follows.

Remember, one weekend is all it takes to breathe life back into your home and step into the New Year with clarity and joy!
