New year, new home! If you’re looking to revamp your home for 2020 then look no further. The pros at Electrical Experts have come up with 20 easy ways for you to brighten, revive, and give your home a makeover for the new year.
1. Declutter
During the year, we accumulate A LOT of random stuff, especially after the holidays. Take time to compile unused or unnecessary items and donate them to someone in need.
2. Give your ceiling fans an update
If your home has old ceiling fans, it can make your entire home look outdated. Replace the blades with a sleek design or give it a paint job.
3. Create the illusion of more space
Small space? No problem! Mirrors can make a room look larger instantly. They also reflect light and can make your home appear brighter.
4. Make it safe
Keep up with regular inspections and maintenance to your home’s HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. This would also be a good time for you to update the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.
5. Purge your pantry
Expired foods and snacks should have no place in your home. Toss out anything that has overstayed its welcome in your fridge and pantry.
6. Get house plants
These aesthetically pleasing additions will help improve your home’s air quality!
