The beginning of the year is the perfect time to enact change or update something at home—they can be done any time of the year, though, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to start another chapter with an optimized household.
These improvements do not require major renovations, not even minor.
Clean out pantry
One of the easiest parts of the house to become cluttered is the pantry. Unload kitchen shelves and cabinets to see everything that is stocked up in them.
Once unloaded, wipe down dust and crumbs hiding behind jars and containers. Toss out any expired goods as well as unused cookbooks and cooking magazines. When putting back the items, remember to keep the most used products in front for easy access.
Take control of energy consumption
Take control of the electricity bill this year by making energy-efficient changes. The ways to do it range from consciously saving electricity by turning off the lights or unplugging devices when not in use, to switching to appliances that consume less energy.
Consider investing in an air conditioner with Digital Inverter Technology like the Samsung Premium Inverter Wind-Free-Plus. It has a Wind-Free Cooling function that maintains the level of temperature without the unpleasant feeling of cold wind. Most importantly, it saves up to 68 percent energy compared to conventional models.
Organize and label
“A place for everything and everything in its place.” It’s easy to misplace objects and end up with a cluttered home when there’s no appropriate place for each items in the house. This is where baskets, crates, and trays come in handy in keeping a clutter-free home.
In addition to organizing them, categorize and use labels to make anything easier to locate. Use a label maker or just simply cut out tags and write on them. This is also the chance to determine which items to keep or put up for donation or throw out.
Set intention
Before embarking on any project, big or small, having a goal and keeping checklists in order must be the first step. A goal and a procedure laid out enable faster completion.
Once changes and appropriate actions have been decided, one may begin updating the home, such, among others, as cleaning and optimizing kitchen, rearranging dining area to accommodate more people, and changing a few items in the rooms to make them more comfortable or aesthetically pleasing.
Update kitchen appliances
Take a look at the devices and appliances in the kitchen and check for damages. Carefully assess the condition and decide which ones need to be replaced. It helps if the new appliance matches the current theme or design of the kitchen as it keeps the place looking sleek.
For instance, Samsung Side by Side No Frost Space Max Interior, which features a Digital Inverter Compressor technology that reduces wear and tear, is a stylish appliance. For a more accessible way to get food items, the Samsung French Door has a Food Showcase feature that allows minimal door opening so the refrigerator stays cool and preserves energy.
Meanwhile, the 3-Door Side by Side No Frost Space Max Interior with Flexzone uses SpaceMax technology that allows extra food storage because of its thinner walls compared to traditional refrigerators.
