January is the perfect time to set resolutions to improve our health and well-being, but have you ever thought about making resolutions for your home? Here are a few ideas to consider:
Cut the Clutter
Go through your home, one room at a time, and clear out any items you no longer have any interest in and donate them to charity.
Split the Bill
Reduce your monthly bills by turning down the thermostat while you’re away and switching off lights when you leave a room.
Clean Slate
Commit to a thorough deep cleaning of your home. This includes windows, carpets, baseboards and other areas that usually get missed.
Search Party
Get the entire family to take a few minutes at the end of each day to walk through each room and put everything back in its place.
Basket Case
Use wicker baskets to organize everyday items such as controllers and remotes so they don’t get swallowed up by the couch.
Plant It
There are many ways to improve your indoor air quality but start by adding a few plants to naturally purify the air you breathe.
Just Do It!
Tackle a major item that’s been sitting on your to-do list such as cleaning up the basement or painting the bathroom.
Safety First
Make sure your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are in good working order and that you have a family fire escape plan in place.
Family Time
Make a resolution to spend more quality time with family at home. This could involve family game nights, shared meals or simply dedicating time to connect with each other.
New Year’s resolutions don’t have to always be personal. At the end of the day, home is where the heart is, and a well-balanced and harmonious living space naturally contributes to a happier overall family life that brings everyone together.
