A new year can mean great things for your apartment. Making a few New Year’s resolutions for your apartment will set the stage for a more enjoyable living space that better reflects your personality and style every day of the year. You can choose how big—or small—the changes you make will be to completely customize and refresh your home and your apartment lifestyle.
Use What You Have
It can be tempting to save candles, soaps, dishes, silverware, and many other items for decorative or seasonal purposes only. Maybe you like the way the packaging of a certain item looks, or want to use your favorite sheets sparingly to keep them in good shape. However, this can result in excessive clutter in your apartment and deprive you of the well-made or favorite items contained within. Rather than saving items for special occasions or simply because of how they look, make a resolution to use your favorite and high-quality belongings. Keeping these items in storage negates the worth of having them and deprives you of the enjoyment you’re sure to get when you use your good soaps, dishes, and linens more often.
Break Up Your Housework
Housework is one of the most oft-ignored tasks because it can feel overwhelming. This year, make a resolution to break up your housework into more manageable chunks so you’re more likely to get it done and enjoy the process. For example, set aside each day of the week to clean one area of your apartment, such as the living room, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. Alternately, choose one task you will complete throughout your entire apartment each day, such as vacuuming, dusting, wiping down counters and mirrors, or picking up clutter. Leave at least one day a week work-free so you don’t feel overwhelmed; taking a one-day break from housework will help you to recharge before your weekly cleaning schedule resets.
Get Creative with Décor
If your décor feels bland or outdated, the first months of the new year are the perfect time for a refresh. Take a look at your apartment’s décor and find the objects you’re least attached to or dislike the most. Get rid of these items right off the bat, which will clear space to make your apartment look and feel more open while allowing you to focus on the decorative items you do like best. You don’t need to purchase anything new to create new décor—consider using old items in new ways or simply moving furniture or art from one room to another to completely change the style of your living space while keeping the basic elements of your décor the same.
