2026 reset: How an organized home can make daily life easier

The new year is an ideal time to press reset on your goals, routines and the spaces that support them — starting right at home.

What you need to know: An organized home can physically and mentally improve your quality of life by making your day-to-day more manageable.

• Clutter is a silent stressor that has been linked to higher anxiety, drained energy levels and difficulty focusing. With people spending more time at home post-pandemic, our environment has an even greater impact on our well-being.

For more than 20 years, Closets by Design Charlotte has helped homeowners create spaces that balance style and function to support ever-evolving schedules and lifestyles.

• What Closets by Design Charlotte is saying: "An organized home creates clarity, confidence and calm — three things everyone deserves more of in the new year," says co-owner Laura VanSickle. "Our goal is to make custom organization accessible, beautiful and tailored to each family here in the Queen City."

Why now: January is a natural time to harness the new year's energy, hit the reset button and lay the groundwork for a successful 2026.

• To help homeowners start off strong, Closets by Design Charlotte is offering a new year promo including 40% off, plus an additional 15% off, free installation and 18-month financing on your project.

How it's done:

The impact: When your home works for you, it causes a positive ripple effect of better habits, smoother routines and greater peace of mind.

• Thoughtful organization also maximizes your home's usable space and — when done well — can increase your home's resale value.

The takeaway: An organized home can change how you feel, function and start every day.
