It may not feel like it right now, but spring is finally here. Hopefully, we start to slowly thaw our way out of the long winter and enter a period of sunshine and happiness. Spring is the season of new beginnings, and all of you are probably hoping that things begin to improve in the world over the next few months. While you can't control what happens out there, you can control what happens inside your home. Spring is always the time of year where people have big clear-outs and look to set their home to rights. Keeping that in mind, let's look at some little ideas and tips to get your home ready for spring/summer 2021!
Do away with the winter clutter
This seems like as good a place as any to start! Your home most likely has a lot of clutter from the many months of winter. Whisper it quietly, but you may even have some residual boxes and clutter left over from Christmas. Well, now is a good excuse to get rid of everything that no longer needs to be in your home. Also, it's literally been a year since the first lockdown was announced. So, if you have things in your home that you haven't used - despite being at home for the best part of 12 months - you clearly don't need them anymore! Get rid of your clutter, and your home will instantly look better.
Prepare your heating system for the warmer weather
While warm weather might be a few weeks or months away right now, it isn't as cold as it was in the winter. So, you can start preparing your heating system to expect less Baltic conditions. Turn the thermostat down on your central heating whenever it needs to be turned on. Also, set a schedule so that it's on for less time than it was in the winter. If you have an AC unit, now is the perfect time to get it serviced. Companies like 24 Hour AC Repair can handle any problems, getting your unit ready for any hot weather in the summer. Essentially, this entire step is all about getting your home ready for the change in temperature during spring and summer!
Tend to your garden
No part of your home is deprived of as much attention as your garden during the winter months. After all, why would you bother paying it any? It's too cold to sit in the garden, hardly anything can grow, and you're busy doing other things over winter. As a result, when it comes to March, your garden is looking a little worse for wear. It probably resembles most people in the UK who haven't been able to get a haircut for 3 months. So, as the weather eases and you'll be outside more often, it's the perfect time to mow the lawn, get rid of any winter leaves, and get your garden ready for the months ahead.
Getting your home ready for spring/summer is actually beneficial for a couple of reasons. The obvious one is that it sorts your house out and makes everything nice and clean. But, it also gets you in a better mental space and can help you get into the spring spirit of looking ahead to new beginnings!
