There's a good reason that resolutions make a lot of sense right now — the last few months have been non-stop with shopping, socializing, and generally over-doing it. It’s the type of rhythm that eventually demands a reset. The design world is certainly picking up again, but there’s still an undercurrent of quiet, a conscious return to routine and ritual.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m certainly turning a bit inward, more drawn to subtle moments, really gravitating toward design that radiates warmth and calm. And so I’m devoting this month to design and experiences on my radar that lean cozier, quieter. Maybe that’s as simple as picking up a new home fragrance to create a bit of atmosphere at home. Or getting out of the home entirely for a reflective moment at a museum. Or just the conscious effort to refocus on wellness in whatever form suits.
