What are a Few Resolutions You Want to Keep for Your Home?

It’s a new year and a new you with new resolutions to conquer.  Like many of use, we tend to crush our New Year’s resolutions for the first few months of the new year but tend to forget about them as time passes. For instance, that gym membership you said you would use four times a week but haven’t been in a week or two. They can be difficult to keep but holding yourself and family accountable can really help.  The same goes for your house projects.  Putting together a list of items you want to focus on with your home can help you crush your home resolutions.

Clean room by room- Instead of trying to tackle the whole house all in one weekend, focus on one room at a time.  Focus on the rooms that may need it the most- cleaning up wrapping paper from Christmas, taking down decorations or the tree, deep cleaning your kitchen after hosting Christmas, etc.  Instead of focusing on the whole house at once, try to focus on one room at a time.

Purge your spaces- Cleaning can be a great start to your home resolution but creating a real change will require some real purging.  It can seem overwhelming at first but once you are finished you will feel so much better.  If certain items haven’t seen the light of day in moths, it’s time to get rid of it.

Donate- Once the purging is complete, label each item and separate them into two piles- one for trash and one for donate.  Take the gently used items to a place for others to create new memories with your items.

Decorate your home with fresh flowers- Fresh flowers can really have an impact on you and your rooms.  Flowers can be the least expensive makeover you can bring to a space.  They can also help clean your air to provide an at home aromatherapy to lift your mood.

Plan for this year and next- None of these resolutions can be done every day or month, one of the best ways to make sure you’ll come back to them is to plan them out in advance.  Decide when you want to tackle each room and which room you want to tackle first, spread out your purging over a few months, and so on.  Once you have a plan, you are ready to tackle 2019!
