New Year, Fresh Energy: Attracting Good Energy for Your Home this 2025
There’s no better way to welcome the New Year than freshening up your spaces to bring in some brand-new energy.
Because when it comes to our home, we always find the need to welcome change. By putting and moving pieces here and there, we attract the kind of vibe that we’re looking for—whether it’s to brighten an area up to help us feel happier and light, choosing colors that are easy on the eyes, or even making versatile additions that allow us to do more with less.
Transforming any house or apartment to feel like a home is something we regularly work on, and SM Home definitely makes it easier for us to find what we need while discovering new ways to spruce up our spaces at the same time.
Check out these fuss-free tips that instantly bring new energy into the home:
Sheer Curtains
Maximize the natural light that enters the home by diffusing them with sheer curtains. Not only do these add some texture and softness to your current drapes, light and sheer fabrics give enough warmth without leaving spaces hot, whether you deal with harshafternoon sun or not.
Style Tip: Bring dimension to spaces using sheer curtains against neutral hued drapes. Light-hued fabrics make a space clean and brighter, while darker fabrics lend a more luxe and opulent feel.
Scented Candles
A good scent never fails to make anyone feel right at home. Scented candles, especially these ones from Yankee Candles, place us in a relaxing mood as soon as they’re lit, giving off a air of serenity especially after a long day. Whether you’re in your living room or enjoying a relaxing bath, these instantly calm the senses.
Syle Tip: Go with citrus-based fragrances like oranges or lemon for a clean and refreshing approach, or a wood-based variant mixed with a light green tea or bamboo smell for an aroma that’s unique and welcoming.
Sofa Bed
If there’s one versatile item you need to add to the home, a sofabed ranks at the top of that list. Functional and reliable, not only does it bring the comfort of a sofa, but also the convenience of a bed for when guests stay over. Since these are usually compact in size, anyone can easily transform their space from living room or home office to a makeshift bedroom for instances where sudden sleeping arrangements need to be accommodated.
Style Tip: Dress up the sofa bed with a light throw or pillows for extra dimension.
Decorative Plants
Having plants in the home instantly adds life to a space. Whether real or faux, that touch of green and foliage lets your area breathe and brim with a certain lightness. And bringing the outdoors in always makes a home more inviting and comfortable.
Style Tip: Feel free to experiment with different sizes to suit your area—large pots can serve as an accent piece to a bare corner, while smaller ones bring a natural touch to your counters. Choose plants with bigger or fuller leaves for instant color and natural lushness.
Storage Organizers
Keeping your home tidy and clutter-free is a must in keeping or welcoming good energy—as the saying goes, “messy spaces equate to a frazzled mind.” Having a designated area for your items let you maneuver through your space without worry. Storage baskets are a great and fashionable way to organize daily essentials as well as other items orderly for easy access.
Throw Pillows
Dramatically change things up by adding some throw pillows for some extra personality. It’s the easiest way to elevate your living style just by choosing the right color and texture to make spaces stand out more. Complement color themes with similar-toned shades, or opt for unique fabrics that add dimension no matter the design style you’re working with.
Style Tip: Don’t forget to scrunch up your pillows and fluff them up on a daily basis. This instantly livens up your spaces, and makes rooms look put-together. Add a little fold on the top center by chopping your hand down for the perfect crease that will make pillows ‘stand’ better.
Accent Frame
Frames are a great way to add charming warmth and personality to bare walls. Whether housing interesting art pieces, prints or memorable photos, these are standout additons that accentuate spaces with images or colors that reflect you and the spaces you’re living in. The right frame in itself can be so intricate, they can serve as the art and décor on your wall.
