Let's face it—those post-Christmas blues are real, and even Joanna Gaines isn't immune to them. The beloved lifestyle guru recently opened up about how she deals with the holiday aftermath, sharing her "simple" yet effective advice on how to reset both your home and your mindset as we step into the New Year. It's like hitting the refresh button, but way more stylish and meaningful.
Joanna, known for her knack for turning chaos into calm, penned down her thoughts on her blog At Home. She explained that once the gifts are unwrapped, the tree is dismantled, and Christmas fades into memory, she begins craving simplicity and fresh inspiration in her surroundings. "Every year, after the decorations are carefully tucked away, there's a moment when the house feels a little bare," she admitted. "But instead of seeing it as a void, I see it as an opportunity—a chance to look at my home through fresh eyes and reimagine it."

Joanna’s Post-Holiday Reset: A Sensory Approach
When the tinsel is swept off the floor and the Nutcrackers retreat back to their cozy attic hideaway, Joanna knows exactly how to clear her mind and refresh her space. "For me, resetting begins with the senses—sounds, smells, colors, and textures," she revealed. Picture this: You're putting together a playlist that speaks to your soul, lighting a candle that fills your home with warmth, and searching for those little nooks where clutter hides. Joanna's approach is all about mindfulness and intentionality.
She even created a Spotify playlist titled "At Home," featuring 36 songs that are designed to soothe your spirit and lift your mood. Whether you're unwinding after a long day or simply looking to create a peaceful atmosphere, this playlist is your new best friend. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your post-holiday reset.
Revamping Your Home Without Breaking the Bank
Now, here's the kicker—Joanna wants you to know that refreshing your home doesn't have to mean spending a fortune. "Instead of going all-out, embrace change in simple ways," she advised. Think small but impactful updates like adding greenery to brighten up a room or introducing a basket for cozy throw blankets. If you're feeling particularly bold, consider adding a splash of color to your living space with vibrant throw pillows. These little touches can make a world of difference without draining your wallet.
Tackling the Dreaded De-Cluttering
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: de-cluttering. It’s the one task we all tend to put off until it becomes unbearable. But Joanna has some sage advice for tackling those pesky projects you've been avoiding. Start small—maybe with a hall closet, a junk drawer, or the pantry. "Don’t overwhelm yourself by thinking this has to be a complete overhaul of your home," she encouraged. "Instead, see this as an opportunity to slow down, reset, and embrace the clean slate that comes with a new season."

Joanna’s message is clear: This isn't just about tidying up—it’s about creating a space that reflects who you are and what you want for the year ahead. "I hope that whatever this fresh start looks like for you, you'll approach it with intention, purpose, and a sense of calm," she concluded. "Happy January!"
