4 Cool New Year Resolutions For Your Home | Cleveland Bricks

Jan. 1st resolutions – work out, spend more time with friends and family, and learn a new skill. Making resolutions in the New Year is something that we think about for our well being. How about making New Year resolutions for your home? Our homes are a refuge at the end of a long day at work, raising the family, you name it! Let’s take a look at how creating New Year resolutions for your home might make life a little easier.

Organize

Whether it is the junk drawer in the kitchen or the fitted sheets, no one knows how to fold in the linen closet. We all have areas that we stash odds and ends – photos of distant relatives, that random key, or the mysterious screw you found laying in the middle of the floor. The first step in conquering these areas is organization! For this, let us explore some examples. Learn more about organizing your kitchen here. The bath here. And finally, here is how to fold a fitted sheet.

Paint

Change up the look and feel of your bedroom, living room, even the playroom with a fresh coat of paint. Painting is instant gratification. Out with dingy, dirty walls, and in with a clean new room! For relatively little money invested, this tip goes a long way. So get creative and paint those cabinets and walls- how about your front door? To get you started, take a peek at the colors predicted to trend in 2021.  

Donate

An excellent way to start a new year and refresh your home is through donating. Going through closets, dresser drawers, and the kid’s stuff is a great way to start. Giving your gently used clothes, coats, and items that the children have grown out of not only makes for a cleaner space but gives back to the community. But you don’t have to stop there. Go through the toys, bookcases, and basement. Make way for all of those new holiday presents, all the while providing for those in need.

Plan

Grab a notebook and walk through your house. What needs repairing?  Are the washer and dryer getting old? Is it time to refinish the basement? Take notes and be ready for those beginning of the year sales. Think about what you can accomplish while you are stuck inside during the winter months. Then plan for the glorious Spring and Summer. Do you enjoy gardening? Research what plants, fruits, or vegetables you would like to plant. Are you replacing and shrubs or rose bushes next year? Plot out your yard for the best spot. Does the deck need work? Look out for ways to repair your deck or patio so it is ready to go when the warm weather arrives.

With a new year comes endless possibilities! We wish you and your loved ones a bright, happy, and healthy 2021!
