5 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Home

-
As you are making your New Year’s resolutions, consider setting goals for your home as well.

Conquer the Clutter

No matter how many bins and shelving units you buy, but you really can’t organize clutter; your only plan of attack is to get rid of it. Take 10 minutes each day to go through your drawers and closets, and throw out or donate what is no longer useful or truly meaningful.

Finally Take Charge

By dedicating a few minutes of each day to maintaining your home, you can save yourself from a lot of work later. Decide which chores need to be done on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, and divide them up in a way that fits your schedule and lifestyle.

Update

Does your living room need a fresh look? Is your bedroom room feeling drab and outdated? From applying a fresh coat of paint to updating your window treatments, there are many little things you can do to freshen up your home.

Finish a Project

Now is the perfect time to tackle any projects that have been hanging over your head. Rather than looking at the project as a whole, break it down into manageable steps and focus only on accomplishing what you can do immediately.

Make it Safe

When creating your perfect home, home safety is an aspect that is easy to forget. If you haven’t done so in a while, check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and consider installing a fire extinguisher.
