Because a clean home should feel like a deep breath, not just a chore.
It’s easy to let mess build up when life gets busy. But refreshing your space doesn’t need to mean a massive deep clean. These five small rituals are designed to shift the mood in your home—and in you. Think: scent, clarity, calm, and a little sparkle.
Whether you're feeling frazzled, craving a reset, or just want things to feel a bit better, start here.
1. Wipe the surfaces, shift the energy
We don’t mean a deep clean. Just a reset. A cloth and your favourite Colt & Willow cleaner, especially one that smells amazing (our Geranium or Rhubarb are both instant mood-lifters).
Wipe down your kitchen table, the counters, maybe your bedside. Just one surface can shift the whole feel of a room.
Think of this as a little act of care. Not just for your home—but for you too.
2. Open a window (yes, even if it’s freezing)
A few minutes of fresh air clears more than just the air. It changes the feeling of a space. Open a window and let the energy move.
Bonus points if you mist the room with something fresh and grounding (a spritz of essential oils or your fave room spray).
3. Declutter one small zone
Forget the whole house—just pick one zone. A drawer, your bedside table, the fridge door. Set a timer for 10 minutes and see what shifts.
You’ll be surprised how much calmer everything feels when just one corner is clear.
4. Switch your scent
Scent is powerful. It can change how you feel in seconds. Pick a scent that uplifts you (we’re obsessed with Geranium—it’s like joy in a bottle) and use it as a ritual.
Spray the sink. Wipe the surfaces. Light a candle. It’s not about the mess—it’s about creating a feeling.
5. Make your sink sparkle
There’s something weirdly satisfying about a clean sink. Empty it, scrub it down, add a drop of washing-up liquid that actually smells good—then take a moment.
Small act, big shift.
