How to get your new year off to a great start

How to get your new year off to a great start

A new year is a great time to make some resolutions for the months ahead. To help you get the new decade off to a flying start, our furniture designers share some handy tips to help keep you on the wagon, from prepping meals to fitted wardrobes.

Plan your meals in advance

If healthy eating is high on your agenda for the new year then a great tip to make sure you stay on track as January progresses is to plan your meals in advance. There are also lots of recipes online that you can prepare in days ahead to really help you on the healthy eating wagon. 

Get rid of the junk food 

Following on from the previous tip, if you have any junk food and treats left over from Christmas, give it away to friends, family or your local food bank. That way you start the new year the way you mean to go on and remove all temptation from the house. 

Have a new year clear out

You’ve heard of a spring clean but have you ever considered a new years clean? Many of us have time off over the festive holidays so it’s the perfect time to finally dig deep into those cupboards and get rid of all our unwanted clothes, toys and general bric-a-brac. 

Treat your bedroom to fitted wardrobes

So we may be a little bias in this next tip, but if you’re struggling to fit in all those lovely new Christmas gifts, you won't regret investing in built in wardrobes this year. Designed to fit perfectly even the most awkward of spaces, fitted wardrobes make the most of your available space, giving you lots more storage for all those festive gifts. Why stop there? Re-vamp the whole house with furniture that's made to measure for your home! 

Write down your new year resolutions 

If you’re making a list of new year’s resolutions for 2020, instead of just saying them in your head, actually write them down. By having physical evidence of what you’d like to achieve this year you’re much more likely to focus and get them done. Try pinning the list somewhere you look regularly to remind yourself of your goals every day. 

Grab a workout buddy 

At the top of many people’s new years resolutions list is to get fit, but you’re certainly not alone if you struggle to stay motivated. So, if you know someone else who is also looking to exercise more, why not pair up and do it together? Having company will make it a much more enjoyable experience and encourage you to get down the gym or out for run even on the most miserable of days.
