With the new year comes new beginnings. And while you may have all sorts of ideas for how you would like to start fresh this year, here are our top 3 suggestions for new year’s resolutions for your home.
New Year’s Resolution #1: Clear the Clutter
Perhaps the best way to start the new year in your home is to go room by room and identify what you want to get rid of. Some items you may want to sell, but others you can donate, recycle or throw away. Clearing out your home not only helps to improve the look of your space, it also helps you to enjoy the items you choose to keep. For items you choose to get rid of, consider donating to your local nonprofit organization, such as our Georgetown ReStore! You’ll find a list of items we accept HERE.
New Year’s Resolution #2: Maintenance and Repairs
It’s always best to check your air conditioning and heating system at least once a year. This can also be a good opportunity to clear out debris from your condenser and also make sure that your unit is running smoothly. Change out air filters, clear out gutters, dust off ceiling fans, and take care of any items in your home that may need repairs.
New Year’s Resolution #3: Try Something New
Now that you’ve cleared out your home and addressed any items that needed fixing or tuning up, consider giving your space a new feel with a fresh coat of paint or re-organizing the space, which can also make it feel like a new environment. Or maybe try upcycling one of your old pieces of furniture into something new. Find a way to insert something new in a creative way to breathe new life into your home.
