How to Refresh Your Home for 2025!

January 15, 2025

As calendars turn from December to January, resolutions, inspirations, and motivations are at an annual high. If you looking to refresh your space in 2025, here are some simple and beneficial ways to do it!



Declutter!

We’ve all heard of “spring cleaning,” but what about doing it during the winter? Whether you received new clothes for Christmas or found that you just have too much stuff to host a holiday party, decluttering is a great way to clear your space and your mind!

Go through your belongings to find what no longer serves you and donate it to a local charity!


Add a Plant

We don’t know about you, but it can be hard to keep a plant alive in Minnesota winter; yet who doesn’t love a good challenge? Did you know that adding greenery to your space can help purify the air, improve your mood, and make your apartment feel more homey?

Whether you string a bunch of eucalyptus to your showerhead or plop a pothos on a bookshelf, it’s a fun way to spruce up your place!


Rearrange Furniture

A free and straightforward way to refresh your home is by rearranging the furniture. If you’re in a studio apartment, consider swapping where your bed and couch are set up. In a one- or two-bedroom unit, switch which side of the room your bed is on!

Do you have curtains in your living room? Exchange them for the ones in your bedroom! Get creative with it!


Maintenance

Lastly, if there’s anything maintenance-related that you’ve been putting off, get it done! Hornig’s expert team of maintenance technicians are here to address things such as running toilets, drain back-ups, leaky faucets, and more.


We always suggest putting in a fresh set of batteries in your smoke/CO2 alarms, as well as changing lightbulbs as needed. Addressing maintenance takes one more thing off your plate for you to enjoy your daily life!
