How to start the year with a renovated home

How to start the year with a renovated home

The beginning of a new year carries a quiet kind of promise. A moment of pause after the rush, where light returns slowly and our homes invite us to linger a little longer. It’s a time not for excess, but for intention - for choosing what truly belongs.

At Studio Sookie, we see the start of the year as an opportunity to refine rather than reinvent. To let go of what feels unnecessary and make space for objects that bring balance, warmth, and meaning into everyday living.



1. Living with intention at home

Intentional design begins with awareness. How a room makes us feel. How light moves through it. How certain objects ground us, while others gently fade into the background.

Rather than following trends, we believe in surrounding yourself with pieces that endure - objects chosen for their craftsmanship, materials, and quiet presence. A sculptural vase placed just so. A tray that gathers small rituals. A candle that turns an ordinary evening into something slower, softer.

2. Choose the beauty of small changes

A refined home is often shaped by the smallest adjustments. Moving a piece closer to the light. Clearing a surface to let one object stand on its own. Layering textures that invite touch.

These subtle changes don’t demand a full reset, they invite a deeper connection with the space you already inhabit. A reminder that beauty lives in restraint as much as in expression.

3. Look for spaces that support everyday rituals

Our homes hold our rituals - morning light, evening calm, moments of gathering and solitude. When chosen with care, design objects become part of these rhythms, offering a sense of continuity throughout the year.

As the seasons unfold, pieces grounded in timeless design adapt naturally. They move from winter stillness to spring light, from everyday moments to shared celebrations, without ever feeling out of place.

At Studio Sookie, we curate with this belief at heart: that thoughtful design has the power to quietly elevate the everyday.

At the beginning of a new year, may the home remain a place of intention, beauty, and presence. Built slowly, piece by piece, with time and meaning.
