A New Year Reset: Brightening Your Home After Christmas

January 03, 2025

As the festive season comes to an end, we bid farewell to twinkling fairy lights, glittering decorations, and the cosy glow of Christmas. The tree comes down, the last of the tinsel is packed away, and suddenly our homes can feel a little bare. But the New Year brings with it an opportunity – a chance to refresh, reset, and reimagine our spaces.

At Mustard and Gray, we believe that small, thoughtful changes can breathe new life into your home, making it a warm and inviting space that reflects your personality. With the sparkle of Christmas behind us, it’s the perfect time to swap those festive touches for fresh pops of colour and timeless design.

Here are a few of our favourite ideas to reset your home this January:

1. Illuminate with Lampshades

Lighting plays a huge role in creating atmosphere, and switching out your lampshades is a simple yet impactful way to transform a room. Our new collection of lampshades, featuring hand-drawn designs, is the perfect antidote to the darker winter months. Whether you’re drawn to bold patterns or understated elegance, a carefully chosen lampshade can add a warm, welcoming glow and a burst of character to your space.

2. Cosy Up with Cushions

There’s nothing like a scattering of throw cushions to add a sense of comfort and style. A mix of textures and colours can instantly lift a sofa or armchair, making it the ultimate spot to snuggle up with a book or a cuppa. From vibrant designs inspired by nature to calming, neutral tones, our new range of cushions is designed to help you personalise your space with ease.

3. Set the Scene with Placemats

With the New Year comes a chance to elevate everyday moments, and your dining table is a great place to start. Our new placemats, designed and made in our Shropshire studio, bring both practicality and beauty to your table. Whether it’s a casual weekday dinner or a special weekend brunch, these placemats will make every meal feel a little more special.

4. Add Pops of Colour

If you’re missing the sparkle of Christmas, why not bring in colour in other ways? Bright and bold accessories, soft furnishings, or even a small piece of art can add a sense of joy to any room. It’s amazing how a simple injection of colour can change the entire feel of a space, creating a fresh and uplifting vibe for the year ahead.

A Fresh Start for 2025

January is the perfect time to give your home the attention it deserves – a little refresh that sets the tone for the year ahead. At Mustard and Gray, we’re excited to help you create a home that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours.

Whether you’re looking for bold updates or subtle touches, our hand-crafted collections are designed with love and care in our Shropshire studio to bring charm and personality to your everyday living.

Here’s to a bright, beautiful New Year filled with creativity, colour, and inspiration!

Warm wishes,
Zoe and the Mustard and Gray Team
