Do you ever look around at the boring paint on your walls and think “I can do better?”

We’ve all been there: beige walls, outdated furniture, and drab window dressings. Boring!

Well, guess what?! It’s a new year, now’s the time to put on your decorator’s hat and create the home of your dreams!

Read this article for our top 5 reasons to redecorate your home in 2019.

1. You Want to Fall in Love… Again

You moved into this place for a reason, right? Something about it touched your heart and made you love it. 

Room redecorating helps you fall in love with your living space all over again. When you stare at the same, boring decor for a long time, it has an effect on your mood. It can lead to seasonal affective disorder or even full-blown depression.

Change up your decor to keep things fresh. And to remember why you fell in love with your home in the first place. 

2. You’re Planning to Sell

Life doesn’t always happen on our timeline. Sometimes we don’t realize it’s time for a remodel until we know we’re planning to sell. 

Even so, if you’ve got plans to sell in the near future, it’s worth it to remodel now. Staging your home with fresh decor draws potential buyers in and makes them happy. You might see more money on your bottom line if you spend some time and money redecorating before you list it for sale. 

And the best part is that you can bring your decor along with you to your next home too!

3. You’re Ready for a Big Life Change

Planning to retire? Going through a divorce? Expecting a baby?

These are all great reasons to remodel your home. If you know something big is on the horizon, get to work now! 

Change is hard for many of us to handle. That’s why creating a home that you think is beautiful and feel proud of is especially important. It takes the edge off of all that change.

4. It’s An Opportunity to Declutter

Raise your hand if you have some unnecessary clutter lying around? (Cue everyone.) 

Redecorating gives you the opportunity to be out with the old. Make it a priority to get rid of stuff you don’t use. It’ll surprise you how much space you can clear up with a little bit of decluttering. 

5. The Environment Told You To

When you redecorate, you’ve got the perfect excuse to bring in some more environmentally friendly stuff. A few simple changes can greatly improve the energy efficiency in your home.

New blackout curtains keep the sun out and the cooler air in. Energy efficient light fixtures look beautiful and save you money on light bulbs. And new appliances use less energy than those old, clunky things you’ve had for years.
