New Year is that time of the year when you make resolutions. Whether it is your home, profession or personal front - starting afresh is the best way to welcome a New Year. So, what are the common New Year resolutions for home owners?
From using recycled material to managing unused space, people take various kinds of New Year resolutions for their home. New Year is the time when people decide to start afresh, not only in their life but also for their surroundings, including their home. Your home too requires your personal attention and what better time to take care of your home than the start of the year. Taking resolutions for your home this year can not only make it more livable but also beautiful, efficient and clean.
Based on valuable feedback from industry stalwarts, we brings to you some of the top New Year Resolutions for your home:
Streamline stuff
Every year, we all collect a heap/stack of stuff that is of no use. This creates a clutter and jammed drawers and cupboards, making it difficult to find the stuff that we use the most. Plan to clear each and every room and discard or donate things (old clothes and books) that are of no use. Keep things that bring in positive energy.
Proper ventilation
Most of the people forget that kitchens, toilets and bathrooms are the biggest sources of moisture and generate unpleasant odors. It becomes even more important to install an exhaust fan and clean the drain frequently which most of us do not do. Clean the grill, blades and vent of the exhaust fans twice a year. If you have windows in your bathroom and kitchen, open it regularly and let fresh air come in.
Remodel areas you love
In the beginning of the New Year, everyone plans to give a new look to certain areas of their home but before doing so, ask yourself if this is actually required. Invest in areas where you spend most of your time rather than wasting your hard-earned money on remodeling your home every year.
Reduce Carbon footprint
The simplest way to reduce carbon footprint is:
- Switching off the lights, fans and ac when you leave the room/not in use.
- Insulating your home properly and sealing any drafty area
- Replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent or LED
- Using energy efficient home appliances with star energy star label like refrigerator, ac and microwave
- Installing solar panels on top of the roof of your home. This will initially cost more but will be cost effective in the long run

Take eco-friendly measures
If you are taking some resolutions for your home, why not do something for the planet? Planting shrubs, flowers (such as agapanthus, lily or jasmine) or herbs like Tulsi with medicinal properties compliment the theme of your home, make it look more presentable and bring in positive energy.
Recycle old material
Add a fun touch to your home by using recycled material that is not of use. For instance, : you can spray paint on old tyres, hang them and add plants or use it as a swing. Color old paint tins and use it for planting flowers or use it as a decorative item for your home.
Paint your doors
