As stereotypical as it may sound, a New Year is the perfect time to start new habits, projects and goals. This also applies to you and your home, use this New Year as an opportunity to make some needed or wanted changes around the house. We have put together a list of three areas to work on to help you create a happy “new home” for 2018.

Fresh Start

An obvious and fun place to start is to take this time to rearrange and re-decorate your home. Start by taking down all those Christmas decorations and storing them away till next year and while you’re already moving things around why not try a new layout in the living room or bedroom? You can also take this time to find a home for the new decor you may have received as gifts, this is also a great time to set up any new electronics or lighting fixtures Santa may have brought you.

Out With the Old

Another important step in creating a “New Home” this year is to purge any old/unwanted items. With the Holiday Season usually comes the blessing of gift giving and this means that you could have received an item that can now replace something in your home that is tired or doesn’t work anymore. You also can take purging as a chance to update your current decorating style, everyone gets to a point where they may just be tired of a painting or piece of furniture and it’s time to move on and try something new. We find there is always something exciting and refreshing about cleaning out your home.

Get Organized

And lastly this is a perfect time when putting away/finding a new home for those gifts, to get your space organized. If you were lucky enough to be gifted any organizing

bins/baskets/etc then be sure to use them to their full potential, or if you were gifted a gift card for your favourite homeware store then maybe take this opportunity to purchase something to help your home get organized. Sometimes during the Holidays things can feel a little out of control or without routine, so now is the time to get your home back on track so that you and your family can function efficiently.

From our family at Alair Huntsville to yours, we hope that 2018 holds health, joy and many blessings! Thank you to all of our followers and supporters, here’s to a New Year!
