6 Japanese Habits To Instantly Create A Calm, Peaceful Home — Inspired By The Monk Cleaning Method

Ever wondered how small, intentional habits can completely change the way your home feels? In this video, I’m sharing 6 Japanese home habits that instantly make any space calmer, lighter, and more peaceful without redecorating or spending money.

These tips are inspired by Japanese minimalism, wabi-sabi philosophy, and the Monk Cleaning Method, but they’re simple enough to start today. From starting with a quick tidy up, to creating soft, relaxing light, bringing nature in, and making small cozy corners, these are little changes that make a huge difference. They’re the same simple changes that have made my own home a place I love coming back to every day.

Oh, and stick around for the end. I’m sharing my homemade pistachio tiramisu recipe, because a peaceful home should taste just as good as it feels.
