I’m giving my home a post-Christmas reset – this is everything I’m doing to clear clutter and set my house up for success in 2026

Neutral living room with cream sofa and cushions and wood furniture.

If you’re not sure what day it is or when the last time you ate a meal that wasn’t washed down with chocolate and cheese was, join the club. But as Ideal Home’s editor for all things cleaning and organising, I (unfortunately) have to practice what I preach - which is why I’m getting myself out of my me-shaped dent in the sofa and starting to reset my home after Christmas.

As I believe everyone should, I’ve given myself some much-needed time off over Christmas to enjoy the festivities. I haven’t put too much pressure on myself to keep my home perfect; instead, I've leaned into the chaos and clutter that come with the extra family, friends, food, and presents in my home.
