4 Best Goals to Set For Your Home in 2023
Posted on December 22, 2022 at 1:00 PM by Becky Smith
Why should you set goals this year for your home?
Our homes are where we spend most of our time. Laughter and happy memories are shared in our living rooms and kitchens. Of course, we want our home to be as nice and comfortable as possible. But sometimes, life gets in the way, and we tend to neglect our home. Here are five goals to set for your home in 2023.
Upgrade and redecorate your space.
This is a great goal to set for yourself in 2023 because it will allow you to create a perfect space for yourself and your family. In addition, you can make changes that will improve the look and feel of your home while also making it more functional. Whether you want to change the color of the walls or add new furniture, upgrading and redecorating can help improve your home life.
When you want to redecorate, it can be tempting to go out and buy everything at once, but that's not always the best idea—it can get a little pricey! So instead, start by asking yourself these questions:
1. What are my favorite colors?
2. How do I like my space to feel? (bright? calm?)
3. What kind of vibe do I want to give off when people come over? (cozy? warm?)
Once you know what kind of look you're going for, head to Pinterest and start pinning pictures that inspire you! Of course, our favorite decorating styles are cottage core and farmhouse home decor.
Cook at home more often.
One of the best things you can do for your health and wallet is to cook at home more often. As a result, you'll save money and eat healthier.
Start by making a list of easy-to-make meals that are also easy on the budget. Then make sure you always have those ingredients on hand—don't forget the spices! Finally, pick a day each week when you set aside time to cook something new or try out one of those delicious recipes you've wanted to try but haven't had the time or money for yet.
And if you're feeling ambitious? Pick up some fancy dinnerware and table accessories and set the table. It is so gratifying to look at a well-decorated table. The plus side is you will be ready to host guests with your beautifully decorated table.
Declutter and reorganize.
While it seems like a simple goal, decluttering and reorganizing your home is one of the most important things you can do to keep it in good shape. When you have too much stuff, it can become overwhelming and challenging to manage—and when you don't keep things organized, it's easy for things to get lost or damaged. So this year, make sure that when the time comes for spring cleaning, you take an extra hour or two to go through your house and decide what needs to be removed and what needs to be put away.
It might be helpful to list what you want to get rid of and where each item should go if it's staying. This will help keep your home looking neat without getting overwhelmed by all of the work ahead of you.
This can be as simple as clearing out your kitchen cabinets to make room for the new pots and pans you've been meaning to buy. Or it could mean having a yard sale or donating the things you don't need anymore—like that old couch that's been sitting in your basement for years and years.
Either way, decluttering and reorganizing is a great goal because it allows you to reflect on what you have and appreciate it more than ever! If you need storage solutions, check out our modular pine wall systems, entryway cabinets, cupboard and shelf combos, and benches with hidden storage.
There are essential ways to improve the healthiness of your home.
1. Clean up your air. Every time you use the stove or dryer, you release many chemicals into the air. In addition, they release chemicals into your home's perspective if you have pets. The best way to combat this is by getting an air purifier.
2. Get rid of all those toxic cleaning products. Do you know what's in most cleaning products? Toxic stuff can make us sick! If you're looking for something safe that works excellently, try vinegar and baking soda! They're cheap and effective!
3. Don't neglect your yard! Keeping your lawn healthy will also help keep you healthy, especially if you have pets or kids who spend time outside playing in it! Make sure no dead leaves are lying around (and no cigarette butts!) so that there's less chance of bacteria being spread around your yard by insects like mosquitos or ticks carrying diseases like Lyme disease from one person to another through bites from these insects."
4. Add insulation to your attic. This will keep the heat in during cold months and out during hot ones, saving you money on your energy bills all year long.
5. Install a programmable thermostat to save energy by setting the temperature down at night or when no one is home. This can save up to $100 a year!
6. Replace old windows with new ones that use less energy and are more durable than older models. This will also make your house more comfortable by reducing drafts and noise from windows that aren't adequately sealed shut against weather conditions like wind gusts or rain storms outside where they shouldn't be entering inside anymore!
There is no Place Like Home.
It's one of the most commonly reported goals for the year. So many people resolve to fix up their homes, and it's an admirable goal. After all, when your home is set up to your liking, you'll find yourself living more comfortably, and your time will be more efficiently spent entertaining guests or relaxing on the weekends.
Just remember that a home makeover isn't something that happens overnight—it takes time, effort, and dedication to plan it all out. But in 2023, your home should be where you can enjoy life with loved ones and take pride in what you've accomplished.
