Getting your home spring ready.

Spring is a season of renewal and rejuvenation, and what better way to embrace the spirit of spring than by getting your home spring ready?  As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your living space and create a welcoming environment.  In this blog, we will explore various tips and ideas to help you get your home ready for the spring season. 

Spring cleaning means deep cleaning.

Spring cleaning is a tradition that has been passed down through generations, and for good reason.  It’s the ideal time to declutter and organize your home.  Start by going through each room and getting rid of any items that you no longer need or use.  Donate or sell these items to free up space and create a more organized living environment. Once you have decluttered, it’s time to deep clean your home. Dust and vacuum all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas such as ceiling fans and baseboards. Clean windows, blinds, and curtains to let in the natural light. Don’t forget to clean your carpets and upholstery as well. A thorough cleaning will not only make your home look fresh but also improve indoor air quality.

Fresh Air and Home Maintenance

After a long winter of closed windows and central heating, it’s time to let in some fresh air. Open your windows and let the breeze flow through your home. This will help eliminate any stale odors and bring in the scents of spring. Consider adding some indoor plants to improve air quality and create a natural and refreshing atmosphere. Before the hot summer months arrive, it’s essential to check your HVAC system. Change the air filters, clean the vents, and schedule a professional maintenance check-up. This will ensure that your system is running efficiently and help you avoid any unexpected breakdowns during the warmer months.

Spring is an excellent time to schedule any necessary home maintenance tasks. Check your roof for any damage or leaks, clean out gutters, and check your exterior siding for any signs of wear or needed cleaning. Schedule a professional chimney sweep if you have a fireplace. Taking care of these maintenance tasks now will help prevent any issues from escalating and ensure that your home is in good condition.

Update decor and make natural light work for you

Spring is the perfect time to update your home decor. Swap out heavy winter fabrics and dark colors for lighter and brighter options. Add some colorful throw pillows, fresh flowers, and vibrant artwork to bring a touch of spring into your living space. Consider changing your curtains or blinds to let in more natural light and create a cheerful ambiance. As the days get longer, make the most of the natural light in your home. Remove heavy curtains or blinds and opt for sheer or light-filtering options. Rearrange your furniture to maximize the natural light and create a bright and airy atmosphere. Natural light not only enhances the aesthetics of your home but also has numerous health benefits.

Garage

Don’t for get the garage! Spring is a great time to clean and organize your garage, especially if you have kids (we know kids come with all the things). Sort through your tools, sports equipment, and other items stored in the garage. Donate or discard anything you no longer need and create a system for organizing your belongings. This will not only make it easier to find what you need but also create more space for parking your car or working on projects.

Check all door seals including garage doors, ensure they are clear of debris and lubricate to function properly.

Garden

Last but not least the garden. Spring is the perfect time to start a garden or refresh your existing one. Clear out any debris, trim overgrown plants, and prepare the soil for planting. Consider adding some colorful flowers, herbs, or vegetables to create a beautiful and productive garden. Gardening can be a therapeutic and rewarding activity that allows you to connect with nature and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Preparing the garden is an essential step for a successful harvest, weather you are re-preparing or starting anew.
