Why Keeping Your Home Organized Is Important?
There’s something so satisfying about walking into a clean, tidy space—like an instant sigh of relief. When your home is organized, it’s not just about how it looks, it’s how it makes you feel. A clear space really does lead to a clear mind. You can focus better, think more clearly, and even feel more motivated to tackle the rest of your day. It gives you that little boost of accomplishment, like “I’ve got this.” And honestly, having less mess around you just makes everything feel lighter and happier. It’s one of the simplest ways to care for yourself and feel more in control of life again.
1. Bring Plants Into Your Space for a Self-Care Boost.
One thing that makes a huge difference in how a space feels—whether it’s my home or someone else’s—is having plants around. They instantly bring life and beauty into a room. One of my favorites is the peace lily plant. We actually have three of them at home!
Plants don’t just look pretty—they also purify the air by taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, so it’s like having a natural air filter right in your living room. I love the pop of green they add, and the energy they bring to a space. There’s something really comforting about having something alive in your home.
Of course, they need some care, but peace lilies are super low maintenance. I usually water them about once a week, and every couple of months I’ll pop them in the shower to rinse the dust off the leaves so they can “breathe” better.
We’ve had one of ours for over two years, and it still looks amazing. It’s moved rooms a few times, but always brings that same cozy, fresh feeling wherever it goes. I also love how plants double as decor—they add character, style, and a touch of chic natural beauty to any space.
2. Fresh Flowers for a Feminine Energy Boost.
Fresh flowers really elevate a space in the most beautiful and effortless way. Along with plants, I absolutely love having fresh blooms at home. Sure, they don’t last as long as a houseplant you can keep for years, but there’s something so special about treating yourself to a bouquet every now and then. It’s a little self-care ritual that adds beauty, feminine energy, and positive vibes to your home.
You don’t need anything extravagant—this bouquet above, for example, is just a few tulips. It still looks full and elegant without being over the top. Whether you’re buying flowers for yourself, gifting them to a friend, or brightening up your kitchen or desk, it’s such an easy way to uplift your mood and your space.
Having these little touches of nature around—whether it’s fresh florals or green plants—really supports a healthy lifestyle and a clear, calm mindset. It brings life into your home and adds a sense of peace, beauty, and creativity to your daily routine.
3. Keep Your Space Decluttered & Embrace Light Minimalism.
One of the things that makes the biggest difference in how I feel day-to-day is keeping my space clean and decluttered. I wouldn’t call myself a full-on minimalist, but I’ve definitely learned that having less stuff around helps me think more clearly and feel more at ease. Especially when it comes to my closet, beauty space, or desk—if those areas get messy, I feel it mentally. It’s like the clutter in my space turns into clutter in my mind.
That’s why I try to do a little reset every evening—just putting a few things back in place so I don’t wake up to chaos. Trust me, waking up to a tidy space brings positive energy and sets the tone for a more productive and peaceful day.
A simple habit I learned from my mom is this: whenever you leave a room, take something with you that doesn’t belong there. If you were sipping tea in your bedroom, take the cup with you when you leave. If your hairbrush ended up in the living room, bring it back to the bathroom. Maybe some socks are on the couch—grab them and toss them in the laundry. These little self-care routines might seem small, but they’re truly powerful.
Doing these mini tasks regularly is a form of daily self care and self discipline. It helps you stay on top of things without ever feeling overwhelmed by a big mess. It’s all about creating a healthy routine and a calm lifestyle that feels manageable, realistic, and good for your mind and body.
4. Deep Clean Your Home to Boost Confidence & Positive Energy.
One thing I really believe in when it comes to self care and creating a happy, peaceful space is doing a deep clean every few weeks. Depending on your home—how big it is, if you have kids, pets, or a busy schedule—it might be every two weeks, or maybe once a month. For me, I love having our home professionally cleaned every two weeks. It’s a game changer.
We’re lucky to have a lovely cleaning lady who comes in and deep cleans everything—the floors, the hard-to-reach corners, the windows, even the fridge and the oven sometimes. She also helps with the ironing and the bed sheets. Meanwhile, I take care of the everyday upkeep, like wiping down countertops and doing some quick vacuuming in between her visits.
But for many years, I did it all myself! I’d just schedule a deep clean day in my calendar like any other important routine. I’d put on a good playlist, podcast, or audiobook, and just get into it. And if doing the whole home at once feels like too much, try breaking it into chunks—one weekend you deep clean the living room, the next weekend maybe the bedroom or the kitchen. It becomes a healthy lifestyle habit, not just a chore.
Whether you’re doing it solo or getting help, there’s something so empowering and satisfying about having a clean, fresh home. It brings a sense of clarity, confidence, and peace. A clean space truly equals a clean mind—and it makes you feel proud of where you live. It’s one of those self improvement rituals that’s simple, yet powerful. And it adds so much to your daily life routine, boosting your mood and helping you feel more aligned in your space.
5. Keep Fresh Fruits in the Kitchen for a Boost of Wellness & Positive Energy.
Let’s talk about the kitchen—because even though ours isn’t the biggest or most “dreamy” space yet, it still plays such a key role in my self care and healthy lifestyle. One little ritual that makes a big difference is keeping fresh fruit out on the countertops. It not only encourages healthier snacking, but it also brings such a cheerful, vibrant energy to the room.
I always have a bunch of lemons out in a cute silver fruit basket. I use them almost every day—whether it’s for lemon water in the morning, drizzling on meals, or adding to tea. Plus, the bright yellow color just lights up the space and gives me this little mental boost. It’s like a small piece of sunshine right in the heart of the home.
Adding a touch of greenery in the kitchen also really elevates the space—think basil, mint, or even a small indoor plant. These little touches inspire me to nourish myself well and stay in alignment with my healthy habits. When your kitchen feels clean, inviting, and filled with things that support your body and mind, it naturally becomes part of your positive routine—and it makes living a healthy lifestyle feel joyful and easy.
6. Bedroom Ritual: Make Your Bed Every Morning for a Boost of Self-Discipline & Positive Energy.
Now we’re in the bedroom—one of my favorite spaces to create a sense of calm and positive energy. And one simple habit that makes a huge difference in how I feel each day is making the bed. I do it every single morning, and honestly, I’ve grown to love it. There’s something so satisfying about turning a messy, tumbled bed into something neat, cozy, and inviting.
It’s one of those small healthy habits that brings an instant sense of accomplishment. You’re starting your day by checking off something positive and productive—even before you’ve stepped out of the house. It’s an easy way to build self discipline into your morning routine, and it sets the tone for a more organized, focused day.
There’s actually a study that found 71% of people who make their beds daily consider themselves happy, compared to only 62% of non-bed-makers. So yes—this tiny act of self care truly does make a difference. Plus, nothing beats coming home after a long day to a freshly made bed. It adds to that sense of comfort, calm, and well-being that we all crave in our homes.
7. Organize Your Kitchen & Beauty Space with Glass Jars and Clear Dividers.
Something that makes a huge difference in how my home feels is having things organized in a way that’s both beautiful and functional. One of my favorite ways to bring a sense of calm and order to my kitchen is by using glass jars for food storage. I found mine at a local homeware store, but there are plenty of similar ones online. On the shelf, I keep ingredients I use almost every day—like dates, nuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, oatmeal, quinoa, and rice. I even have jars for charcoal and diatomaceous earth. It not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but it also helps me stick to my healthy eating routines because everything is easy to see, grab, and put back.
You can take this idea and apply it to other parts of your home, like your makeup area. Clear acrylic dividers have been a total game-changer for me—they make it so easy to keep things organized while still feeling chic and clean. They’re great for storing smaller items like lipsticks, mascaras, or skincare bits, and you can usually find them at any homeware store.
The same goes for organizing jewelry. I love having a little tray or box where I can neatly store my rings, earrings, and statement pieces. It’s so much easier to see what you have and makes getting ready feel more like a self care ritual than a rushed routine. Little changes like this can really elevate your space and help create that calm, intentional, and inspiring lifestyle you want to wake up to every day.
8. Keep Your Space Inspiring with a Vision Board and Uplifting Decor.
One of my favorite things to do when it comes to creating a cozy, inspiring space is filling it with pieces that truly lift me up. I’m talking about those little things that nourish your mind, spark joy, and help keep you focused on your dream life goals. Whether it’s a vision board, a favorite quote, or a meaningful object, having visual reminders of what matters to you can make your space feel aligned with who you are and where you’re headed.
I personally love keeping things quite neutral when it comes to furniture and walls, but that’s where accents come in. A few framed couple photos, some gorgeous crystals, or even a cute little affirmation card can bring in such positive energy. Even if you’re not super into the spiritual side of crystals, they’re still beautiful to look at—and honestly, if just admiring them makes you feel happy, that’s more than enough.
Photos of loved ones and happy memories add such a lovely personal touch too. It’s those tiny moments of seeing a picture and instantly feeling love or gratitude that make your space feel warm and meaningful. And when it comes to setting intentions, vision boards are such a powerful tool. I actually have two of them in my space right now. They’re a bit personal, but filled with images that represent my dream lifestyle, things I want to manifest, and goals I’m working toward.
Making your space feel good, calm, and beautiful is more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating an environment that supports your growth, happiness, and feminine energy. When your surroundings inspire you, it’s so much easier to stay motivated and to attract more of the life you want to live.
9. Have Candles Around To Set Up A Romantic Mood.
And last, but definitely not least, I think it’s really nice to have a good scent at home. I really like diffusers like the one from Jo Malone. But diffusers in general are great. We also have one in our bathroom, and not only do they smell really good, but they’re also a nice, like, decorative piece. I also love having candles around the apartment—especially in the evenings—as they instantly make the space feel warmer and more romantic. Whether it’s for a cozy night in or just to unwind after a long day, soft lighting and a calming scent can completely shift the energy of your home.
