Keeping a clean house at the onset of a new year is a fairly universal tradition, but attending to that task, for some people, requires a bit of extra motivation. If you’re not someone who finds yourself eager to tidy up in your free time, then sweeping the floor and scrubbing the counters feels like nothing more than what it really is: a chore. But when you have a supply of beautiful cleaning tools, even chores can start to feel a little more special.

From dustpans to brooms to multipurpose sprays, there are plenty of nice-looking cleaning supplies that can easily inspire you to bring out your inner neat freak. Typical tools can look unsightly, making tidying up a wholly unpleasant experience, but these options make such a welcome addition to any interior that you might not even want to stow them away.

Whether you have a small space and don’t want your cleaning tools to detract from your design or you simply need some extra cleaning inspiration, these picks will help you experience the life-changing magic of tidying up firsthand. Marie Kondo would be proud.
