Creating an Energised Home: A Space That Lifts You Up and Welcomes Others

Have you ever walked into a home and immediately felt its energy?

Some spaces are calm and uplifting. You leave feeling lighter, like you’ve been wrapped in a warm hug. Others? Not so much. They’re chaotic, draining, and leave you brushing off the weight of the space as soon as you step outside.

Over the years, as I’ve helped people declutter their homes, I’ve felt this energy firsthand. In homes filled with too much stuff—stacks of papers, closets bursting at the seams, surfaces covered in “just in case” items—the energy can feel heavy, even stifling. And often, that same stuck energy shows up in the people who live there: overwhelmed, stressed, tired.

The good news is, creating an energised, love-filled home is within your reach. It doesn’t take expensive furniture or a total makeover. It starts with something far more personal: recognising what matters most to you and aligning your space with those values.

The Foundation of an Energised Home

The first step to creating an energised home is understanding what’s important to you and your family. Your home should reflect your values—not just in the big, obvious ways but in the small, everyday details.

Take a moment to ask yourself:

• What do I want my home to feel like?
• What do I want my family and guests to experience when they step inside?
• Does my current space reflect what’s important to me?

For example, if connection is your top priority, is your living room set up for conversation and togetherness? Or is it overwhelmed by clutter and distractions? If calm and creativity fuel you, do you have a peaceful corner to read or a tidy space to work on hobbies?

Your home doesn’t need to look like a magazine spread to feel amazing. It just needs to feel aligned with you.

Recognising What’s Draining Your Energy

Clutter isn’t just about physical stuff; it’s about the energy tied to that stuff. Think about the junk drawer you keep avoiding or the pile of clothes on the chair in your bedroom (you know the one). Every time you see it, it whispers, “Deal with me!”—and that mental to-do list is quietly exhausting.

When I worked in homes full of excess, I often found myself feeling physically tired by the time I left. It was like the weight of all those things seeped into the air. And it wasn’t just me—many of the homeowners felt that way too. They were stuck in their stuff, weighed down by things they didn’t even need or love.

But here’s the thing: the energy of your home doesn’t have to stay stuck. By recognising what’s draining you—whether it’s a crowded closet, an overloaded schedule, or even the emotional baggage tied to certain items—you can start to shift that energy.

Creating a Home That Invites Joy and Connection

An energised home isn’t just for you. It’s for everyone who steps inside.

Think about the homes you love visiting. Chances are, they feel welcoming, calm, and maybe even a little inspiring. That’s because the people who live there have intentionally created spaces that reflect their values and energy.

You can do the same. Your home can be a sanctuary—a place that fuels your family’s joy and connection while inviting others to share in its warmth.

And it doesn’t have to be perfect. Perfection is boring and unattainable. What matters is creating a space where you feel good, where your energy flows, and where love can thrive.

Start With an Energy Audit

If you’re ready to create a more energised home, start by doing an energy audit. It’s a simple way to check in with yourself and your space to identify what’s working and what’s not.

Step 1: Audit Your Own Energy

• How are you feeling in your home right now? Energised or drained? Calm or frazzled?
• Are there specific areas of your home that make you feel stuck or overwhelmed?

Your personal energy is key because the way you feel directly impacts the space around you.

Step 2: Audit Your Home’s Energy

• Walk through each room and notice how it makes you feel.
• Look for the “energy drains”—the piles, the corners you avoid, the things that make you sigh when you see them.
• Ask yourself: Does this space reflect how I want to feel?

Step 3: Take Small Steps

Pick one area and make a change. It could be as simple as clearing your bedside table, sorting through the clutter in your entryway, or finally donating those clothes you haven’t worn in years.

Small changes create momentum, and before you know it, your home will start to feel lighter, brighter, and more aligned with your energy.

You Can Do This

Creating an energised home isn’t about achieving perfection—it’s about creating a space that feels good to you. When your home aligns with your values and supports your energy, it becomes a place of joy, love, and connection.

And the best part? It’s a ripple effect. As you bring more positive energy into your home, it radiates out to the people you love and the ones you welcome into your space.

So, what’s one small change you can make today to start creating your energised home?
