New Year, New Home
With a new year comes resolutions and goals to improve life, yourself, and your surroundings. Your home is a perfect place to start! Starting with a fresh and clean space that you live in can help give you the motivation to reach your other goals this year. You don’t have to completely start over, there are plenty of smaller and easy projects that can make your home feel brand new!
Painting
If you’re wanting a big change in your home, a fresh coat of paint can go a long way. Cleaning up any scuff marks, holes, or imperfections on your wall is an easy start to making your home feel like new. Painting will give you the chance to transform your spaces entirely, and will make a huge difference in the way your house looks. It doesn’t have to be the whole home, you can start with one room or even just one accent wall, and you can watch your home look updated instantly.

Renovations
If you’re feeling ambitious, now is the time to start thinking about renovations you might want to complete this year. Whether you want to completely redo your kitchen or bathroom, or start smaller with a backsplash or new trim, the new year is the perfect time to start planning. A larger renovation will definitely make your home look and feel new, but you can also start with a smaller step like changing the hardware on your cabinetry. Something so small and simple is definitely the right way to start off a renovation, especially if you are nervous to commit to the entire project.

Rearranging Furniture
If you want to do something to change up your home, but want to remain budget friendly, something as simple as rearranging your furniture can make a huge difference. Changing the angle of your couches or even rotating your dining table will bring some new life into a room. This can be said with bedrooms as well. Moving your bed to a different wall or changing where your dresser is will make the room look like new and allow you to start fresh this year with the feel of a new space.
Deep Clean and Declutter
Another way to make your home feel like new without having to spend any money is to deep clean and declutter. There is no better time than now to finally tackle those hard to reach places and give them a good wipe down. Windows and window sills, tops of cabinets, behind your appliances, and under furniture are all great places to start. Going through your cupboards and drawers and decluttering will also help freshen up your home and leave it feeling like new. Starting with a fresh and clean home will make it easier to maintain in the long run. If you are able to set aside a day or a weekend to clean and declutter as much as you can, the cleaning tasks will feel less daunting as the year goes on.
Decor
If you’re happy with how your home is looking and want one last thing to help make it feel new, getting some new decor pieces will liven it up! If your home is feeling bare after all your holiday decorations have been put away, adding new throw pillows and blankets will give you that cozy holiday feeling back! This is also the perfect way to add your own personalized finishing touches to your home. Artwork, decor pieces and soft goods are perfect for helping make your house feel like a home this year.
