Welcome 2015 With These Home Resolutions

415 E Argonne
A New Year is upon us, and with that comes the traditional New Year’s Resolutions. Now that we are a couple weeks into January, how are you doing with sticking to your resolutions? Here are some resolutions you can make for your home this year that are not only simple, but your house will certainly thank you for.

  • Home To-Do Lists. Create a list of projects and upgrades you’d like to see completed in your home and put a timeline around each. By setting a timeframe and not leaving it open-ended, you are more likely to accomplish these tasks. Map out your vision for each project and how you see it being accomplished. Not only will you feel well thought-out but it makes the process more enjoyable. At RIGGS, we can help you create a vision based on your needs and wants, and build that into a custom short and long-term remodeling plan for your home. Give us a call today, we would be happy to work with you to create a guide that will leave you feeling confident and excited for your next home project, whether large or small.
  • Get Organized. Make it a goal to keep the home organized and clean this year. This can be as simple as taking a trip to a container store and stocking up on storage items. Getting organized will not only make your home look less cluttered, but will also help you feel less stressed and find things easier. It’s an amazing feeling to know EXACTLY where every item is and not look at a messy space. You can get your kids involved in this process by allowing them to pick out their own containers and organization goodies that will get them excited to stay organized throughout the year.
  • Renovate or Update One Room. By updating even just one room, your whole house will feel revived and new, and you will feel better about the progress. Don’t feel like you have to take on an entire home renovation all at once. The way we see it, the money you save from shrinking your energy bills can be put towards that room renovation you’ve been dreaming of!

We hope these New Year’s Resolutions for your home are helpful and you might consider adding a few to your list for the year. What are your New Year’s Resolutions and have you managed to stick with them?
