Home Improvement Resolutions for 2022
In just a few days people all over the world will be committing to a new habit or task they would like to complete within the next 365 days. While many New Years’ resolutions are difficult to stick with, improving your home is one that you don’t have to accomplish alone! The start of a new year is a great opportunity to consider how you can enjoy and preserve your home’s indoor and outdoor spaces. You may even discover that your home improvement projects help you accomplish other resolutions like saving money, spending more time with family and friends, or getting additional exercise. Here are some projects to consider for your home in 2022.
Organizing and Decluttering
Having an organized space helps you find things quickly, and also reduces stress levels. Before you begin any organizing task in your home, consider what items you may be ready to part with. If there are items that you no longer want or use, consider donating them to a local charity shop or passing them along to a family or friend. When you do begin to organize, it can be helpful to designate a specific place for things so that it is easy to put them away when they aren’t in use.
Paint
Painting a space is a very affordable way to improve your home. Applying a fresh coat to the existing color of a room or outdoor space can help to make your surfaces look cleaner and brighter. A simple change of paint color can also transform your space with minimal financial investment.
Indoor Air Quality
The quality of the air in your room affects your health. Adding plants or an air purifier can help decrease the amount of mold, pollen, dander, and dust you are breathing indoors. Regular maintenance on your HVAC system will help with this too. Remember to keep track of when your filters are due to be changed.
Lighting
As your existing light bulbs go out this year, consider replacing them with LED bulbs. Light-Emitting Diodes(LED) last longer and are much more energy-efficient. Making this switch can save you more than $150 per bulb compared to incandescent bulbs!
Outdoor Spaces
Investing in your outdoor spaces adds curb appeal to your home, and creates additional spaces for you to relax, dine, and enjoy spending time with family and friends. Adding a retractable awning to your patio is a functional and stylish way to improve your home. A retractable awning will allow you to enjoy your outdoor spaces and host gatherings regardless of the weather.
In 2022, you and your family can be enjoying your outdoor spaces with the protection and ease of a retractable awning.
