Every New Year’s we come up with several resolutions; they vary from health goals, career plans, family time, spending habits, etc. but what about your home? This HGTV blog post by Melinda Fulmer can help you set some resolutions that will transform your home into a efficient and tranquil place.


In the spirit of new beginnings, HGTV has consulted the experts and come up with some resolutions that will make your home a more beautiful, efficient, clean and green place in the coming year.

Here are our five picks for the best home improvement resolutions for the new year and how to achieve them:

1: Streamline the stuff

One of the best and least expensive ways to feel better about your home is to clear it of clutter.
Each year most of us acquire a mountain of stuff. Without some regular purging, cabinets and drawers get jam-packed and it becomes hard to find the things you use and enjoy the most. (All that clutter also makes your house look dated and dirty, designers say.)
This year resolve to go room-by-room periodically clearing anything that you don’t use, wear or love and donate it to charity. After that, think twice about what you bring in, says Antoinette Nue, an Atlanta consultant who specializes in helping people simplify and go green.
“Fill your home with the things that raise your energy level and make you feel good, and get rid of the things that drain your energy or are broken,” she says.

Stash useful (but not beautiful) items such as DVDs, remotes and those kicked-off shoes in simple woven baskets. Group similar items together on sleek trays, says Stuart McCormick, a designer with Liz Levin Interiors in Washington D.C.
Clear your counters of everything you don’t use on a daily basis. And get ready to breathe a little easier in your own home.

2: Make it safe and sound

Your home may be beautiful, but is it safe? There are a few things that every homeowner should do to ensure that they’re not living with a potential health hazard or fire risk.
First, check your house for radon. This colorless, odorless gas causes about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year from the radioactive particles it traps in your lungs as you breathe, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. One in every fifteen homes has elevated levels. And with test kits costing as little as $20 at your local hardware store, there’s no reason not to get right on that.
While we’re on the subject of deadly gas, make sure you install a carbon monoxide detector on every bedroom floor in addition to fire detectors. If a chimney flue or furnace vent gets blocked or leaks, carbon monoxide could back up in your house and kill you. Like a radon test, this is a small investment — $40 or more — for such an important safeguard.
Watch out for dryer lint. We know you clean the little trap inside the door, but most people neglect to clean the vents and ducts behind the dryer. Lint may seem innocent, but it’s highly combustible, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, accounting for more than 15,000 building fires a year.

Make sure your house can breathe. Hickory Hills, Ill. home inspector Jack McGraw is always surprised at how many people’s bathrooms and attics aren’t vented to the outside (or the vents are covered over with shingles.) This makes you a prime candidate for mold.
And if you’re considering a remodel — and your home was last built or remodeled before 1978 — consider testing for lead paint and asbestos flooring. It will have to handled properly during removal, or particles can be released into the air for you to ingest.

3: Shrink your bills (and your carbon footprint in the process)

When people think of going green, they often think it takes solar panels or a hybrid car to make a difference.
Not so, says Bob Schildgen, who wrote the “Hey Mr. Green” column for Sierra magazine. It just takes a little old-fashioned common sense.
The best place to start is by cutting your energy usage in your home:
– Remember your mom’s advice and switch off the lights when you leave a room.
– Turn off your air conditioner when you leave the house and dial your heater down to 55 degrees at night.
– Install LED bulbs and low-flow showerheads.
– Try drying some of your clothes on the line and wait for the dishwasher or washing machine to be full before you run them.
– Turn off your power strips and/or set your home computer to revert to sleep mode when not in use.
– Water your yard less. Put in drought-tolerant landscaping if necessary.
– Give composting a try. Your garden will thank you.Continue Reading the Full Article Here.

Prioritizing simplicity and functionality, minimalism in home décor grows daily in popularity. In a minimalist home, the interplay between light, space, and objects creates a balanced, organized, and calming atmosphere. Clutter is to be avoided at all costs, accents are few and carefully chosen, and the color palette is soft, favoring soothing colors.

As attractive as this style can be, the question of whether it’s right for you and your family requires careful consideration. Below are three questions to weigh before reaching a decision, as well as tips for creating a hybrid which may better accommodate your needs.

What style of décor do you most favor?

The saying “different strokes for different folks” applies as surely to your decorating style as to anything else. While you may greatly appreciate the minimalist aesthetic, for day-to-day living a homier, more lived-in look–incorporating lots of decorative pillows, cozy throw rugs, and family photos—could be your preference. Alternately, for example, you may love furniture and accessories that make a dramatic statement, incorporating bold colors and vibrant patterns.

If you’re unsure about the style that you like best, decorating-focused magazines and books are a great source of inspiration! The good news is that Lennar homes lend themselves to many types of décor, and our New Home Consultants can help you choose paint and cabinet colors, as well as flooring that captures your style.

Are you neat and organized, or more organic and relaxed?

“Stuff” is minimalism’s nemesis and for this style to work, the home must be very orderly and uncluttered. Because minimalism requires paring down on furnishings and accents, and its beauty hinges on clean lines and empty space, extraneous elements should be few and far between.

Before committing to this décor, ask yourself if it will feel comfortable and natural given your personality. If constant house-keeping isn’t your top priority, you may want to evaluate if and how you implement minimalism in your home. Regardless of your decision, you’ll find that Lennar homes are designed to provide you with plenty of storage areas, closets, and cabinets where things can readily be stashed.

Does minimalism fit your family?

Even if you love the style and are a highly organized individual, you must consider your family. Are there young ones who would wreak havoc with your light-colored furnishings? Do they have the run of the home — scattering toys in their wake — or do they have a dedicated space for playtime?

Teenagers can also be a challenge in a minimalist home, as some tend to leave their marks everywhere: dirty dishes on the kitchen counter; empty soda cans here and there; miscellaneous belongings flung about. Consider whether attempting to have a minimalist home could create frustration and conflict, rather than the peaceful nirvana every home should be.

If you love the decor, even if it doesn’t exactly fit your family, not all is lost! Many Lennar homes have a formal living room, in addition to a family room. You could choose to incorporate minimalism in the living room and declare it off limits for daily living. The master bedroom might also be a good canvas for this décor as a haven to escape to at day’s end, while the rest of the home offers a more kid-friendly style.

Another idea that could work for your family, involves easing into minimalism, gradually paring back on accessories and accents as you all adjust. In the process you may hit on just the right level of minimalism for you: perhaps one that is a happy compromise and offers the balance you need to be comfortable! As you decide what is best for you, we are here to help you find the perfect home, bringing your decorating vision to life in 2019! Happy New Year to you and yours!

If our homes could talk, they might offer a few ideas for resolutions they’d like us to keep. Disposing of things we don’t often use, better organizing those we do, and further beautifying/updating your space, would probably figure at the top of every home’s wish list! Here are some easy tips that will have you—and your home!—feeling good in 2019.

1. De-clutter

Many of us have a tendency to hold on to things we don’t really need or even use. Like Little Johnny’s first pull truck that has been parked in his toy cabinet for the last five years. Or the ornate china set from Great-Aunt Mildred which unfortunately clashes with your beachy vibe. And the ample storage space found in Lennar homes—including walk-in closets and plentiful cabinets—makes it easy to stash all kinds of things.

Now, as we start 2019, is the time to take inventory of belongings that somebody else could be enjoying. Those toys, books, and clothes your children have outgrown may be treasure for another family. With no shortage of excellent local charities, some which will even pick up bulky items such as furniture, finding a worthy recipient for your items is easy. Conversely, you could consider having a garage sale, involving the kids in the fun of setting up their wares and making a little extra pocket money.

Whatever you decide to do—whether it be giving away or selling those things—you’ll feel better about your reclaimed space, as well as knowing somebody is benefitting from your actions.

2. Organize

Having bid farewell to clutter, it’s time to organize your belongings. Avoid becoming overwhelmed by breaking up the task into a series of manageable steps and focusing on one room per week. Involve the family, make things fun, offering hot chocolate and favorite snacks while playing music you all enjoy.

It makes sense to begin with the kitchen, the central hub where everybody congregates. Most Lennar homes offer pantries, the perfect space to store your extra items. We find it useful to devote one shelf to paper goods, such as paper towels, toilet paper, and tissue; another to cans and non-refrigerated foods; and another to cleaning products. Other helpful pointers for organizing your kitchen cabinets:

As you take on other rooms, the above guidelines generally apply. Make children’s safety a top priority and use organizers to maximize use of your large Lennar closets. Shoe organizers can be particularly beneficial, keeping pairs together and looking neat. And for kids, toy chests are wonderful solutions, enabling easy pick up and stashing.

It may take a few weeks to get every room in your house organized to your liking, but you will soon have the considerable satisfaction of seeing everything in your home find its perfect place.

3. Freshen the Look

If you recently purchased your Lennar home, you were given a choice of the latest designer paint colors for your walls and cabinets, and the most updated appointments for your home. For the rest of us, freshening our decor is a great home resolution! As paint companies announce their colors of the year for 2019, we are seeing thoughtful hues that range from soft terracotta’s to misty blues and organic greens. Take a trip to your favorite paint store and look at the latest trends to find the ones that are right for you, keeping in mind:

If you’re in doubt, take pictures of your space and consult a design specialist at a large hardware store. They’ll be able to provide ideas for complementary colors that would work in your home.

In addition to repainting, simple decorating solutions help change a home’s look. New cushions and throw rugs will update your color palette without breaking the bank. A large vase of dried flowers can transform your coffee table. In the bedrooms, new bedspreads and lamp shades will make all the difference. Seemingly little things can have a big impact.

It shouldn’t take much to ready your home for a fresh start. But if you find that you’ve outgrown your space, Lennar’s New Home Consultants are ready to help you find the perfect, brand-new home for a brand-new year. We hope 2019 will be your best yet!
