Hello 2026 ✨ Fresh Starts At RHouse

Happy New Year from all of us at RHouse 🎉 As 2026 kicks off, it’s the perfect time to refresh, reset, and make the most of shared living. If you’re a young professional in Reading, house shares (HMOs) aren’t just about affordability, they’re about creating a lifestyle that’s social, balanced, and full of opportunities.

At RHouse, we know your home should feel more than “just somewhere to sleep.” It’s your base, your community, and your launchpad for everything the new year has to offer. Here are our top tips to make 2026 your best year yet.

1. Declutter & Reset 🧹

Start the year fresh by clearing out the stuff you don’t use. A tidy space = a tidy mind, and it sets the tone for all the good things you want to bring into 2026.

2. Make Your Room Your Sanctuary 🌿

Even in a shared house, your room is your personal haven. Add cosy touches - new bedding, warm lighting, a plant or two, to create a space that recharges you at the end of the day.

3. Keep Housemate Vibes Positive 🤝

Shared living is all about balance. Little things, like washing up straight away, chipping in on recycling, or making a round of teas help keep the atmosphere friendly and stress-free.

4. Get Out & Explore Reading 🚶‍♀️☕

Reading has so much to offer - from riverside walks to buzzing brunch spots, indie coffee shops, and lively nightlife. This year, make it your mission to explore something new each month, you’ll feel more at home in the town (and have plenty to chat about with housemates).

5. Prioritise Your Wellbeing 💆‍♂️

Life can feel full-on in a busy professional hub, so put your wellness first. Whether it’s a quick gym session, a mindfulness app, or just cooking a healthy dinner, small habits will help you keep your energy and balance all year long.

Cheers to 2026 🎇

Your HMO isn’t just a place to live, it’s a community, a lifestyle, and a big part of how you shape your year. At RHouse we’re here to make sure your shared living experience is comfortable, social, and supportive so you can focus on the things that matter most.

Here’s to new opportunities, great housemate memories, and making 2026 your best year yet! 🥂
