Spring is the season of colours and blossom. It celebrates the life and new beginnings. After the dreary long winters, spring brings hopes to all forms of creatures in nature. If you look around, you'll see that the surrounding is decked up in a blanket of warmth and gratitude. The joy around is contagious.
So don't you think you should carry that back home? Isn't it the perfect time to gather some happiness and new hope? Well if you wish to do so, allow the spirits of outside to touch your homes. Celebration means grandeur and merriment. Get your house some new changes to enhance its uniqueness and innate warmth.
So this spring bring home some goodness of happiness and health around us.
These are a bunch of ways by which you can renovate your home to match up the spirits of spring-
Jobs to get down on the lawn.
This is perhaps the best time for you to get into the mood for gardening. The weather is great outside and the climate is neither too hot yet nor too cold. The winters had rendered your lawn area bare and dead. It is time to plant a couple of new trees to add up to the already existing ones.
Small flower pots can be a fabulous idea as flowers blossom well in spring. The colours are vibrant and have an uplifting effect on your mood.
The wild shrubs should be pruned properly and the dead leaves should be cleared off.
Repair of the patio and veranda
It is a very good time to paint and repair the patio. You can tighten the blocks of wood to the floor and paint them in fresh shades of brown more. A coat of varnish will make the floor shine like it is new again.
You can also consider brooming and dating the fences. Accumulated dust and dirt can give a dull look to your house.
Take care of the shed and the storerooms.
In the winters you couldn't care less to get them cleaned or rearranged properly. Now that the weather is suitable outside, enjoy a fun time repairing the shed with your kids. The shed is a treasure island of childhood memories and items you have used in your past. Spend quality time with your family going through the album you retrieved while clearing the mess in there.
This is also the right time for you to check on the surplus food you have stored in the pantry. Chances are many of those might have accumulated pests and insects. The cartons need to be refreshed and the food items are also needed to be checked. The ones that have expired should be immediately thrown away. The spoilt food items tend to pass on the microbes if kept together with fresh ones.
Check the cooling devices.
Under extreme cold conditions, you did not felt it necessary to use the air conditioners in your rooms. The water coolers were also not used for a long time. But now that summer isn't long away, you should call in the mechanics for an annual servicing of the devices.
Do not leave these works for the last minute. You probably don't don't want a day in summer without the fans or the air conditioners, do you?
Change the curtains
It is time for you to change the heavy long curtains with the breezy light ones. They allow the passage of wind and light in abundance. So your room stays warm and well circulated.
You should also consider changing the bed sheet and the pillow covers. Replace them with cotton fabrics for ease and comfort.
Vacuum the floors
It is possible that due to the damp and cold climate, you skipped mopping the floor every day. So now that situation is better, make sure you no longer postpone the task. Use some disinfectant liquid to mop the ground and vacuum clean the carpets and the rugs. You can spray them with disinfectant fresheners to minimise the odour. But it is always recommended to thoroughly wash them in water and mild soap and since it's shiny outside, you can easily dry it up.
If you want to avoid the hassle altogether, then consider sending them to the laundry store for dry cleaning.
Paint the walls
You can always feel motivated and joyous when you look at the newly painted walls. It is also a great way to explore your artistic side. You can always punch up different shades and colours to make the walls more attractive. The walls can make you feel liberated and rejuvenated.
Another great idea could be purchasing wall stickers. They are cheap and removable. They do not leave any mark on the surface. So you can decorate your house in different ways according to the type of season that is prevalent.
