“New year, new you” is something that crops up on all of our ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ lists. If being a better version of you and having your home at its best are on your list, then there are some home trends that you can adopt to help you on your way.

A healthier lifestyle

Health and wellness has really taken the limelight over the past few years and for good reason. It’s beneficial for our lives! To help you Achieve a heathier lifestyle, consider updating your Kitchen. According to a recent study by Houzz, over a third of homeowners report leading a healthier lifestyle after a kitchen renovation, from preparing more meals at home, to eating more fruit and vegetables.

Island benches are a popular choice for modern kitchens as they provide a space where homeowners and guests can socialise while preparing meals. To achieve an island bench installation, a Saniflo grey water pump can help. For this project, consider the Sanivite.

Saniflo’s Sanivite is a cost-effective solution to achieve a kitchen island bench in apartments and in homes that are built on a concrete slab. With the Sanivite, there’s no need to break the floor, which is a difficult and expensive exercise, and not possible in an apartment where there is a tenancy below. Instead, the Sanivitefits easily inside a small cupboard and connects via a slim 25mm waste pipe to the drainage, meaning you can spend more on furnishing your new kitchen.

A clearer mind

A clear home can go a long way to help you have a clear mind. In your efforts to declutter your home, look past the obvious “tidying up”, and instead tackle those larger projects that might involve rearranging areas to achieve a clearer look with more open spaces. One area that often needs reorganising is the bathroom. Many homeowners neglect renovating their bathroom due to the perceived costs involved. A cost-effective and easier way to achieve your bathroom renovation is by using a Saniflo macerator or grey water pump. There are different products available depending on what you need. If you’re looking to install a new toilet, consider the Sanicompact, which was awarded the first ever 6-star WELS rating for a toilet.

Additionally, why not consider installing a beautiful, standalone bathtub? Perfect for relaxing and clearing your mind all within the comfort of your bathroom, or even your bedroom! Saniflo’s Sanivitecan help you install your dream relaxation area, complete with a free-standing bathtub of your choice.

An organised space

Piles of laundry and an extremely long ‘To Do’ list are exhausting, and can get in the way of your daily schedule for your home. Studies have shown that having an organised area can go a long way to improving your health and wellbeing. One area that can definitely use some decluttering and a more structured space is your kitchen. Creating a butler’s pantry in your kitchen is a trendy way to achieve an organised area. This area is essentially a kitchen within a kitchen, where you can do all your food preparation, while your main kitchen stays clean, beautiful and presentable. The Sanivitemakes the installation of a butler’s pantry possible, and allows you to connect a sink and a dishwasher so you spend less time cleaning up and more time doing the things you enjoy.

A separate space

Most parents will agree, it would be lovely to have an ensuite! Your own personal space, free from kids, toys, toothpaste on walls and messy piles of towels. This year, make your ensuite dreams a reality. The Sanipackis ideal to help you create your ensuite, and at just 401mm wide, 295mm high and 146mm deep, it fits easily inside a small vanity unit or wall cavity.

An outdoor lifestyle

For those of us who enjoy the outdoors, an alfresco shower is perfect. Imagine the joy of showering under the stars, having a quick rinse following a swim, or getting the kids clean after outdoor playtime without dirtying the house! Not to mention, outdoor showers make beautiful garden features. To achieve such a project, the Sanifloorwill connect to your new space, providing the grey water drainage needed, even if your space is up to 30m from the stormwater and sewerage mains.
