NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FOR YOUR HOME
It’s January – time for a fresh start! For many people, this means making New Year’s resolutions. While the tradition dates back to ancient Babylon, January 1 resolutions started gaining popularity in the 1800s.
Today, New Year’s resolutions usually involve self-improvement – exercising more, eating healthier, pursuing a new hobby. But home reorganizing, redecorating, and renovating are also popular resolutions. Here are 4 project ideas to help you with a fresh look for your home in 2022.
1. Declutter and reorganize. Start by creating a plan for each space you want to tackle – for example, kitchen, home office, family room, basement, or garage. If you don’t want to start with an entire room, start with your closets or pantry.
2. Refresh your décor. Updated window treatments, new bedding, new paint, and even rearranging your furniture to quickly create a new look.
3. Create a relaxation space such as a reading nook. Choose a quiet corner, a sunny window, or even a space outdoors.
4. Plant the garden you’ve always wanted. If you’re new to gardening, perhaps start with a container garden with annuals or fresh herbs.
