New Year, New Home: Top Home Update Projects to Start in January

Looking for some home projects to make your home feel new again in the new year? There are many ways to upgrade your home, even during the colder months of winter. We’ve compiled a few of the most popular updates that families make to their homes in January that might help you update your home.

Painting
Whether you’re giving your walls a fresh coat of paint, or you decide your cabinets are in need of a facelift, painting is a great way to make your home feel brand new inside, and can be done during the long, cold winter months, and fairly inexpensively.

Updating Your Floors
Tired of looking at old, stained carpet in your common areas? Consider making a few updates to your floors in the new year. Many LVP options are a great way to modernize your home, without breaking the bank!

Revamp Your Closet
Did you set a new year’s resolution to be more organized? Start by cleaning out your closets, and then adding some new shelving, under shelf lighting, and new storage equipment. A clean and tidy closet may be just what you need to stay organized all year long!

Upgrade Your Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans
Updating your home’s light fixtures is a great way to add a new look and feel to your home, without spending over the top! Choose a few new light fixtures that you can easily replace in the bathrooms, kitchen, or even common areas for a new feel. Even updating your existing fixtures with LED bulbs might add a brightness to your space that you’re looking for.

Create a Just for You Space
Whether you have a new hobby, or, you work from home and you just need a dedicated space to complete your work, take the colder months to dedicate a space to yourself! Create a home office or hobby room in an unused bedroom, or even in an unused corner of your home. Having a space that is just for you might give you the satisfaction in your home that you’re looking for.
