Add eco-friendly updates

Sustainability is one of the biggest trends taking over the consumer space in 2023. It is easier and cheaper than ever to add must-needed home upgrades that are both eco-friendly and can save you money in the long run! There are plenty of fantastic new appliances and facilities that can cut your waste and energy use, including high-efficiency heaters, water-saving showerheads, energy-efficient lighting, and solar panels.

But besides having to install new products to contribute to your household’s sustainability, there are a lot of actions you can take to reduce your waste without making a purchase at all. Consider opening blinds and curtains to rely on natural light versus depending on artificial light all day long. Make an effort to properly sort and separate your recyclables and trash, and if you’re really eager to make a green difference, you can practice composting as well.

Update your seasonal decor

Out with the old and in with the new! As the seasons change, so can your taste in home design. Spring is the perfect time to revamp your style and prepare your home for hosting. Some examples of how you can bring some seasonal flare into your home are as follows:

• Swapping out your bedding from a thicker winter set to fresh, airy linens can instantly brighten your room.
• Changing your kitchen hand towels, tableware, and seasonal decor from winter to spring.
• Introduce a new potted plant to your indoor space.
• Crack open the blinds and curtains to invite in more natural light. While in the winter you are encouraged to close curtains to preserve heat, the spring is likely to bring brighter skies and warmer temperatures, making it the perfect time to start opening up your home again.
• And of course, as the name “spring cleaning” implies, you should deep clean all surfaces, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas to bring them back to a fresh, pristine condition.
