Create big improvements with small home projects.

It’s not too late to add home improvement to your 2021 resolution list! In fact, with Chinese New Year on Feb. 12, now is the perfect time to sweep away the dust and rejuvenate your abode. Here are a few quick ways to spiff up your space today.

House of Blues

Or reds, yellows, or any other hue that suits your fancy. A quick, inexpensive and relatively easy way to make your living space feel new is to give it a fresh coat of paint — and it’s a fitting time to incorporate a 2021 color of the year. Try Glidden’s vibrant, blue-green Aqua Fiesta, or the deep red of HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams’ bold and elegant Passionate. Not quite ready for a whole new color scheme? Create an accent wall to sample a hue before you commit. City Mill offers a plethora of options, as well as all the supplies you need for a quick DIY project.

Too Cool for School

Whether your keiki still have non-traditional instruction days or they simply need a new homework area, a couple of little tweaks can help make learning more enjoyable. Move desks near a window and allow the tropical sunshine to naturally energize your little learners, then incorporate organizational accessories to keep supplies tidy and unnecessary electronics out of reach. Simply Organized carries various bins, trays, filing cabinets and more.

(Un)packing the Heat

With 2019 on record as Hawaii’s hottest year ever and 2020 being, well, 2020, you’re likely feeling the need to chill out — both literally and figuratively. A new ductless air conditioner can help. Mini split systems can fit in any space, have virtually endless configurations and preserve the integrity of your home’s architecture.
