Home is where the heart is. And as we inch closer to the end of 2022 and a bright New Year, home improvement projects, upcoming remodels, and new decor purchases are at the forefront of our minds. There’s nothing like the start of a new year to jumpstart old home projects that have been hiding out in the garage all year. This year, we’ve compiled some Texas homeowner new year’s resolutions that you can start as early as December and stick with all year long!
It’s Time To Rethink Your Kitchen
2022 was a busy year. How often did you find yourself in your kitchen stressing before the start of the workday or getting your kids off to school? Let’s turn that idea on its head this year and transform our kitchens into calming spaces that will provide for ourselves and our families. Reduce waste and clutter in the kitchen by throwing out anything that’s overstayed it’s welcome. Focus on a multi-purpose design that creates spaces for every desired function of the room.
Focus On Sustainability And Durability
In 2023, themes of sustainability and environmentally friendly homes have never been more important. And luckily for homeowners, there are countless low-maintenance products that make green living so simple and easy! Consider replacing your lights with LED bulbs that will last anywhere from 18 to 46 years. Or look into durable materials like fiber-cement siding that’s weatherproof, resistant to the elements, and will last for 50 years.
Storage Space And Organization
With working from home on the rise, home offices and other stay-at-home environments are becoming more and more popular. Buyers are adding home offices to their “must-have” lists for 2023, while current homeowners are jumping on the opportunity to remodel their homes and bring more attention to these spaces. So, getting rid of clutter and prioritizing organization in the home is essential this year. Consider adding more storage to ensure everything has its place and mark periodic days on the calendar to declutter.
