If you’re like many other people, you’ve spent much more time in your home the past two years than you thought possible. And since your living environment significantly influences your life, perhaps refreshing your home could do wonders in benefitting your overall health and wellbeing right now.
Here’s the thing: you don’t have to spend a lot of time, energy, and money to make your home more inviting, comfortable, and healthier. Take a look at these practical home refresh ideas!
Shop for Wellness
Seek out products for your home that help promote well-being and a healthy lifestyle. Be sure to read reviews and testimonials online before purchasing something like a recumbent exercise bike. You want to make sure that your purchase is going to meet your needs and hold up under use.
Focus on the Outdoors
Having a well-kept lawn and property can be a point of pride for any homeowner, but that doesn’t mean that every homeowner has the time to devote to lawn upkeep. If your yard is looking a bit worse for the wear, hire a capable landscaping company to care for and aerate your lawn.
Overgrown trees can be a safety hazard and a breeding ground for insects. Also, your trees will be healthier if you prune them at least every three years. If you’re looking for tips for finding local tree trimming services, you can read service reviews to find a provider that can meet your needs.
Create a Workspace
If you are working from home, like so many other people, make sure you have a proper home office. Invest in a desk that will hold all of your materials and allow you to work comfortably through long work days, and get an ergonomic chair that will keep your spine healthy.
Also, consider painting the walls in your space to help distinguish your office from the rest of the home. If you already have a home office, take time to declutter and deep clean it so that you can boost productivity.
Declutter Your Kitchen
While you can benefit from decluttering your entire living space, the kitchen is a vital room to start with. Sort through all of your pots, pans, utensils, and appliances to figure out what you still need and don’t need. If you haven’t used something in the last year, consider donating it to a local charity.
You can also take this time to declutter your refrigerator and freezer. Throw out any expired items, and start thinking of ways to replace some of your unhealthy ingredients with more nutritious ones.
Purge Your Closets
While you’re at it, go through your closets to figure out what clothes you no longer need. The same rules apply here: if it has been more than a year, chances are you will not wear it again. You can make some extra money by selling items online, or you can help out your community by donating them to a thrift shop.
Shop Local
Cleaning and redecorating your home can revive its life. But you can take it a step further by shopping for local artisan pieces to add to your interior design. Not only will this ensure that your living space is unique, but it will also support local small businesses and help you to connect with your community. There’s something about investing in a handcrafted item that no one else has!
Invest in Trunks
Finally, after you have thoroughly decluttered your living space, start to rethink storage. One of the best solutions is getting trunks or chests to store various items. You can keep anything from decorations to toys, from seasonal clothing to extra bedding in these pieces. And you can also use them as additional seating, coffee tables, or any number of other functions.
What better time than now to revive your home? Consider creating an inspiring home office and decluttering your kitchen and closets. Keep your outdoor area safe and looking beautiful by hiring lawn professionals and pruning trees when needed. In no time, you will have a healthier, more enjoyable living environment without draining your bank account!
