Something about a new year feels like the perfect time for upgrades. Maybe it’s the promise of a fresh start, or perhaps it’s the knowledge that we have 365 days to make things happen. No matter your reasoning, if you’ve been thinking about upgrading some items in your house, now is the time to do it!
Toilet Seat / Lid
If everyone uses one thing in their house and could use an upgrade, it’s the toilet seat. I have a couple of friends who have recently upgraded theirs, and now they love going to those people’s houses (just for the toilet)!
Kitchen Countertops
A new year is a perfect time to give your kitchen a minor facelift, and what better way to do that than by upgrading your countertops? There are so many different materials and styles to choose from, so you’re sure to find something that fits your taste and budget.
Kitchen Cabinets
The cabinets are another big part of the kitchen that can be upgraded. If your cabinets are outdated or just don’t fit your style, there are many great options for replacing them. You can either go with something similar to what you have now or switch things up and try something completely new! However replacing them is not always an option, there are a few ways to improve them that will be just as good.
Mattress
It’s no secret that mattresses can be expensive, but they’re definitely worth the investment. A good mattress will last for years and will make you feel so much better when you’re sleeping. So if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your bed, now is the time to do it!
Windows
One of the best ways to improve your home is upgrading the windows. Not only does it make your home more energy-efficient, but it also makes it look a lot nicer from the outside. So if you’re thinking about doing this upgrade, now is the time to do it!
Flooring
Another thing that can make a difference in your home is flooring. If you’re tired of your old flooring, or if it’s just not practical for the way you live, now is the time to upgrade it. There are so many different options these days, so you’re sure to find something that fits your style and budget.
Paint
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to upgrade your home is painting it. A fresh coat of paint can completely change the look of a room, and it’s a project that you can do yourself if you’re feeling brave!
Blinds
If you’ve got some old blinds in your house that need replacing, now is the time to do it! You can find some fantastic deals on new blinds right now, so get shopping.
Heating/Cooling
If you’re thinking about upgrading your heating or cooling system, now is the time to do it. There are so many great options out there, and a lot of them will save you money in the long run. Updating your hvac system is a good investment and one your home will be happier for.
Furniture
If you’re tired of looking at the same old furniture in your house, now is the time to do something about it. You can find some great deals on new pieces right now, so get shopping!
As you can see, there are many things you can upgrade in your home this year. Whether it’s the toilet seat or something more significant like cabinets and countertops, now is the perfect time to start planning what upgrades will make your house feel new again!
