Top 2025 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Home

January 24, 2025


The start of a new year is the perfect chance to reimagine your living space, so whether you’re settling into a brand new Wilkinson home in Delaware or are hoping to refresh the one you already have, 2025 is all about creating a home that’s more comfortable, functional and aligned with your goals. Read on to see which of our top new year resolutions you want to include in your own home to make this your best year yet. 

Start by decluttering and organizing

A cluttered home can weigh you down, so why not start the year with a clean slate? Pick one room or area to tackle first and start sorting your belongings into three piles—things to keep, donate or toss. During this process, don’t be afraid to be ruthless with things you no longer use or love—if you haven’t used it in the past year, it’s probably time to let it go. 

Once the rooms in your house have been decluttered, it’s time to focus on organizing everything. You might want to invest in some storage solutions like baskets, labeled bims or some new shelving systems to create a more streamlined look, or add drawer organizers, hooks and wall-mounted racks to help maximize your space in your closets, kitchen and garage. 

Give your interior a refresh 

Your home’s interior should reflect your personality and provide you with the perfect place to unwind at the end of every day, and the new year is an excellent excuse to update your design. Start small by swapping out decorative accents like throw pillows, rugs or wall art, and either try experimenting with bold colors or patterns that energize a space or opt for calming, neutral tones for a serene atmosphere. 

If you’re ready for a bigger transformation, think about repainting some of the walls in your home with one of the top colors of 2025, like soft greens, warm terracottas or moody blues. Adding in some natural textures like rattan, wood or stone in your design choices can also help create warmth and depth, and if your furniture feels outdated, consider reupholstering it or layering in luxurious fabrics like velvet to elevate the look. 

Think about adding a wellness space

With wellness at the forefront of everyone’s mind this year, dedicating a space in your home where you can relax and practice self-care is a must. This can be as simple as setting up a corner in your living room or bedroom with a cozy chair, soft lighting and calming decor. For a more dedicated space, however, think about converting a spare bedroom or unused area into a yoga studio, meditation room or even a home gym. You can incorporate mirrors, soundproofing and beautiful artwork to make the space both functional and uplifting. By having a designated area for wellness, you’ll find it easier to prioritize your mental and physical health throughout the year. 

Enhance your outdoor living areas

Your outdoor spaces are an extension of your home, and 2025 is the perfect time to make them just as inviting as your indoor spaces. Adding in some comfortable outdoor furniture with weather-resistant cushions to create a cozy seating area is a great place to start, and string lights or outdoor rugs can add even more to the ambiance and help define the space. 

If you want to do more outdoor entertaining in 2025, consider installing a fire pit or outdoor kitchen, complete with a grill and prep area. Having a lot of greenery in your outdoor area is another essential element—plant a mix of native flowers, shrubs and trees to create a vibrant and low-maintenance landscape. Even a small container garden with herbs and vegetables can bring more life and functionality to your outdoor space.
