Could it be the year is nearly over (insert head-blown emoji here)? If you’re like us, this time of year has a way of asking questions we don’t always have time to answer: What worked? What didn’t? What are we carrying that no longer feels useful—or kind?
With 2026 just a toast and an “auld lang syne” away, let’s take a collective shift. Let’s think less about reinvention, and more about refinement; less about adding, and more about choosing.
This isn’t a manifesto for the coming year; it’s a gentle edit.
Letting Go of “More”
More things. More commitments. More noise. More pressure to optimize every corner of life.
For many people, “more” masquerades as success: a fuller calendar, a bigger cart or a house stocked to the brim. But as the years go by, it becomes clearer: more doesn’t always make life richer. Often, it just makes it louder.
In 2026, we’re letting go of the idea that abundance has to look crowded. We’re making space—physically and mentally—for what actually earns its place.
This shows up in small ways: fewer impulse buys, fewer duplicates “just in case,” and a more thoughtful approach to the things we bring into our homes. When something is well made, functional and genuinely pleasant to use, one can be enough.
Keeping Things That Do Their Job Well
If we’re letting go of “more,” what we’re keeping is better.
Cue the products that work quietly, without demanding attention, the things that don’t feel precious, but do feel dependable. The towel you always reach for because it actually dries your hands. The blanket that lives on the couch year-round because it’s equally right for movie nights and early mornings.
These are the unsung heroes of daily life—the textiles, tools and essentials that don’t shout, but show up.
At Geometry House, we’ve always believed that the most meaningful design lives in this space. Products that are beautiful, yes—but also washable, durable and meant to be used every day. Not saved for guests or hidden away.
In 2026, we’re keeping the things that earn their place by being useful again and again.
Letting Go of Disposable Living
There’s a quiet fatigue that comes from constantly throwing things away. Think paper towels that disappear as quickly as you buy them, cloths that fall apart after a few washes. And those items designed to be replaced instead of repaired or reused.
As the year turns, many of us are rethinking this cycle—not out of guilt, but out of common sense.
Reusable doesn’t have to mean fussy or fragile. It can mean sturdy, familiar, and easy. A stack of Not Paper Towels that replace a roll of paper towels. Kitchen linens that hold up to real messes. Bath towels that stay soft after dozens of washes, not just the first few.
Letting go of disposability isn’t about perfection. It’s about choosing things that last a little longer and work a little harder, so we don’t have to think about them as often.
Keeping Rhythms That Support Real Life
Not everything we’re editing lives in a drawer. Some of the most important things we’re keeping—and refining—are our rhythms.
Think about the way your house resets at night, the Sunday laundry routine, or the schedules and systems that keep the week from feeling chaotic.
In 2026, we’re keeping the rituals that support us instead of exhaust us. That might mean simplifying routines rather than stacking new ones on top. It might mean accepting that “good enough” is often better than perfect.
Letting Go of the “Perfect Home” Narrative
Social media has made it easy to believe that a home should always look styled, serene and untouched by real life. But lived-in homes tell better stories.
In 2026, we’re letting go of the pressure to make our spaces look finished. Homes evolve. They change with seasons, families, routines and needs. They collect wear, patina and memory.
Reach for a towel with softened edges or the tablecloth that’s been washed a hundred times. These are signs of use, not failure. They’re evidence that a home is doing what it’s meant to do: support the people who live there.
Keeping Comfort That Feels Effortless
Comfort doesn’t have to announce itself. Often, the most comforting homes are the ones where everything feels easy.
You don’t have to think about whether something can be washed. You don’t worry about spills. You trust the things around you to keep up with daily life.
That kind of comfort comes from thoughtful choices made over time, like choosing textiles that feel good against the skin, materials that age well and choosing neutral, timeless designs that don’t feel tied to a moment.
As we step into 2026, we’re keeping comfort that’s practical, unfussy and grounded.
A New Year, Edited Gently
This season isn’t about starting over. It’s about carrying forward what works—and setting down what doesn’t.
2026 is the perfect time to let go of the excess and keep what supports us. It’s all about choosing fewer things – and choosing them well.
At Geometry House, we believe the best homes are built slowly, thoughtfully and with intention – not through grand gestures, but through everyday decisions that add up to something meaningful.
On the eve of a new year, we hope 2026 can feel a little lighter, a little calmer and a lot more like “home.”
From our family to yours, happiest New Year.
