With Christmas just days away it is time that many people will start to decide their New Year’s resolutions. I for one, think that these resolutions are a great way to help yourself stay on top of home maintenance and to focus on some areas you may not typically worry about. The start of a new year is the perfect place to get motivated and to get excited about all the ways you can improve your home!
1. Declutter
The first way you can start the year off right is to incorporate a New Year’s resolution about decluttering your home. By removing clutter and excess items from your home you are providing yourself with a more comfortable and relaxing living space. One way you could approach a New Year’s resolution of decluttering could be to declutter one thing a week. This could be something small such as throwing out all the socks with no match one week or, as large as going through the storage closet that has been piling up for five years another week.
2. Plantlife
When you are looking to add some new decor or want to clean the air in your home plants are a great way to go! By adding a simple one or two plants in rooms throughout your house you can really change the atmosphere. Plants are a great way to add some greenery but they also help the space to be fresh. This resolution can help you to explore decor ideas and also liven up your living spaces.
3. Cleaning Schedule
One way that a home can have that bright and welcoming feeling is to ensure a level of cleanliness. A cleaning schedule is one way to help keep you organized and to keep your tasks prioritized. For example, a cleaning schedule could help you determine how often you need to do odd jobs and it can also be a daily reminder of the smaller, more regular tasks. By making a cleaning schedule you are allowing yourself to stay accountable with your regular upkeep but also adding some motivation to finish the less common tasks. This is a great way to also get the whole family involved! By delegating some of the common and odd tasks to people in your home it may help with time efficiency and consistency when it comes to sticking with the schedule.
These are three ways that you could incorporate your home maintenance into your New Year’s Resolution. However, another New Year’s Resolution I suggest? Finding your dream home with the North Link Real Estate Team!
