There probably aren’t too many people that are sad to see 2020 go. It surely has been a crazy year! As 2021 approaches, many of you may be thinking of new year resolutions and have hopes of a much better year ahead. After such a trying year where many of us have spent more time in our homes, perhaps your resolutions will include changes you’d like to make to your home. Maybe it could involve something smaller that doesn’t cost you anything or maybe it's finally the year you get the new flooring, paint, and decor you’ve been wanting. Maybe your resolution is to budget for the new kitchen or bathroom you’ve been dreaming about! We’ve created a list of possible resolutions you could make in 2021 related to your home.
Declutter
More time at home probably has meant more clutter, especially with kids home so much more. Why not make a resolution to declutter a certain room or rooms? Purging your home of unnecessary items can refresh your home and even make a large impact on your emotional and mental well being. Another plus is that it won’t cost you anything!

Decor Items
A large remodel isn’t always necessary to make a difference in a space. Sometimes it's the details in a space that can make a huge difference. Make a resolution to budget for changing out the decor in your home. It is a cheaper way to introduce new materials and textures, colors, and patterns. When thinking about items to purchase, think about their versatility and purpose to ensure that your budget goes the furthest it can.
Color
In addition to your budget to purchase new decor items, think about adding a splash of color with some of the decor accents, but also with fresh paint. Make a resolution to paint those scuffed up walls and trim and help breath new life into a space. Color can affect your mood and emotions so choose wisely and be sure it is a color that you love.
Quality
This may go with having a new year's resolution for more patience. Here’s why. Many times we know we need or want a new __________ (fill in the blank) NOW so we settle for something we may not love because it is cheaper. We may not even spend the time reading reviews to ensure great quality. Fast forward a year and you think to yourself “I really wish I would’ve waited another 6 months to save for the other, better quality ________.” How many of you have had similar thoughts? Quality goes a long way when decorating and creating the perfect space in your home. Look for items that have a long lifeline for function and style. Be patient, create a budget to save, and purchase the quality items you love.
Remodel
Perhaps you are ready to make a resolution that is a bit more involved and pricey for your home in 2021. Maybe you are ready to create the perfect home office, complete a game room for your kids, remodel your kitchen or bathroom, or create the perfect master bedroom for a quiet retreat. Commit to finally remodeling your home and it will surely bring you some happiness in the new year.
