Home Improvement Resolutions for the New Year

The most popular resolutions for 2022 according to Statista.com were living healthier, spending more time with family and friends, and losing weight. While 39% of the population make a New Year’s resolution to change, only 9% to 12% complete it successfully.
As a Homeowner, we suggest keeping your resolutions simpler. Homeownership is a big responsibility, with even more challenges if you own an older house. We recommend 6 Home Improvement resolutions for 2023 that are simple and easily attainable.

2023 Home Improvement Resolutions

1. Keep Up with Home Maintenance – If there is one thing most homeowners neglect, it’s maintenance. Start the year by changing your HVAC filters, cleaning out your dryer lint ducts, checking your gutters, inspecting the water heater, and inspecting the foundations for termites.
2. Enhance Indoor Air Quality – Add localized ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens to help you get rid of smoke, cooking fumes, and humidity. Change HVAC filters more frequently and invest in air filters around the house to improve overall air quality and breathe clean air.
3. Reduce Your Energy Use – Schedule an energy audit. It will show you the overall efficiency of your home. With so many energy-efficient appliances and solutions, not going greener in 2022 seems like a missed opportunity. Start by replacing your light bulbs with LEDs. Sealing cracks, gaps, and leaks and adding insulation to outside walls can save up to 10% on home heating and cooling costs. Only turn on your computer, monitor, printer, and fax machine when you need them, rather than leaving them on 24/7.
4. Improve Your Curb Appeal – Curb appeal projects include painting the front door, installing new siding, power washing the exterior, adding new plants, installing path lights, or adding new furniture to your front porch.
5. Eliminate Clutter and Organize – Losing clutter not only helps tidy your physical space and make room for what matters most but it will help reduce your stress so you can experience a greater sense of tranquility at home. Start by examining your current stock of shoes, books, pantry, supplies, equipment, and knickknacks. Say goodbye to the items that no longer serve you and take time to sort and organize what’s left.
6. Pick One Space to Remodel/Renovate – Speaking of reducing clutter and organizing, if your family is like mine, most of their time is spent in the living room or family room watching TV or playing games. Choosing this space as the one to remodel makes sense. Laying new flooring or carpeting is a good start. Updating the furniture and home entertainment items will deliver a whole fresh look and feel. Consider replacing the TV cabinet with a ceiling mount or wall mount for your new and improved TV to complete the makeover.

The single biggest reason many people fail to complete their New Year resolution successfully is setting a goal on something you feel you should be doing instead of something you want to be doing. It is a great time to focus on what is important in your life. A New Year’s Resolution carries with it the pressure of change. Try resolving to work toward small wins before tackling larger goals.
