Since the pandemic has put the kibosh on many travel plans and activities, we have been staying home more than ever and making the most of our time indoors. This trend may continue into 2022, so why not bring in the new year with some home-focused resolutions?

Your home is your sanctuary and having a safe, relaxing place to work and live is crucial. One way to ensure that you have a calm space is to assess your living areas and think about keeping your home clean and airy, opening sightlines, and enhancing feng shui. In addition to rethinking how you use your space, air duct cleaning is an excellent start to give you peace of mind and cleanliness from the inside out. Good air quality plays a significant role in creating a clean, fresh space.

Here are some thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions that will freshen up your home for both work and play:

Declutter Storing Areas

With all the online shopping going on these days, it’s easy to lose track of how much “stuff” you have in your home, especially when you have ample space for storage. Garages, attics, and basements are usually storage areas that can get overrun with items you may have lost track of. What is in all those boxes anyway? A fun project for you and your family is tackling these areas and finding out what is worth keeping, tossing, or donating. Decluttering is a great way to reconnect with your family and remember good times while giving you the satisfaction of giving to charity and creating space.

Organize the Kitchen Properly

Whether you are just moving in or have lived in your home for some time, there is always a better way to maneuver around a workspace like a kitchen. Maybe you need to make room for a new appliance or need more counter space. You may think that you want to experiment with culinary techniques and reorganize your kitchen to make magic happen! Or, perhaps you just need a change. Take stock of what you have, use, and want, and reorganize to suit your needs.

Declutter Closets & Storage Areas in the Bedroom

Can you ever have enough closet space? Not really. But it is possible to optimize your closet space by making a few changes. First, go through your clothing and shoe collection and donate anything you haven’t worn in over a year. Sure, there are some choice pieces that can be kept, but most of us use the same pieces over and over, so don’t be afraid to toss what you don’t use (or fit into) anymore. Second, add some shelves to store boxes on the closet floor. It’s a great feeling to see open floor space in a closet. Third, remove anything not sleep-related from under the bed. According to Feng Shui practices, certain types of clutter under a bed can disrupt sleep.

Adopt Green Sustainability Practices

We are all thinking about living a greener lifestyle, and it’s easier than you think. As a 2022 resolution, it makes sense to adopt green practices. Firstly, in line with decluttering and keeping things clean, you can reduce your purchases. And if you do purchase something, think about its impact on the environment. What is its carbon footprint? Is it recyclable? Also, reduce the number of disposable items you use. Live by the idea of ”reduce, reuse, and recycle.”

Apply the One-In-One-Out Rule for Purchases

When making new purchases, look through your things and get rid of something. You can donate, give to a friend, sell it online, or simply toss it if you feel that no one will use it. You don’t want to do all this work of decluttering only to obtain more and declutter again next year. Who knows? Maybe you can make money selling items online because many people are also thinking about reusing and recycling.

Schedule an Air Duct Cleaning Inspection

Part of creating a fresh, clean space is ensuring that you are breathing clean air in your home. Poor indoor air quality can adversely affect the respiratory system and cause headaches and sinus issues. Indoor air pollutants include allergens such as dust, mold, and pet dander, toxins in building materials, and chemicals used in cleaning products. Climate also affects indoor air quality - forest fires and dust storms are two examples. It’s a good idea to schedule an air duct inspection to identify and remove dust or debris from your home to breathe the cleanest air possible. Finding a reputable air duct cleaning service in Marietta is a great way to start the year.
