10 Small Spring Home Improvements

By

Now that the country is just about waving goodbye to the winter weather, we can finally look ahead to delights of spring. To really welcome the fresh breeze and glimpses of sunlight into your home, there are 10 small home improvements you can make – 5 inside the home and 5 outside:

Inside the HomeIMG_1257

  1. Bring in potted plants and flowers into the corners of rooms and the tops of tables to really capture the essence of the new season. They bring life to the dark corners of your home.
  2. Refurbish any aging furniture. Reupholstering chairs can bring them back to life, and the same can be said for sanding down tables or worktops. A splash of wood oil or varnish and your furniture’s completed its rehabilitation.
  3. A new lick of paint can work wonders for walls. Bright pastel colours subtly transform the interior of your home into theshades of spring whilst looking contemporary and modern.
  4. Clear the hallways, the landings and walk ways by putting up shelving to home those miscellaneous items that scatter themselves throughout the house. Let that fresh air flow.
  5. Introduce French doors, patio doors or bi-fold doors to open up your home and refresh your house. These particular styles of doors let the spring sunshine illuminate your living areas making it seem more open and free-flowing.

Outside The Home

  1. IMG_1329Mow the lawn. It’s a jungle out there after the excessive winter rains and it’s not a pretty sight out of your lounge windows. Spark up the lawn mower because a newly cut lawn signifies the start of spring. Not to mention the fantastic smell of freshly cut grass.
  2. Clear out the gutters. It’s not the most glamorous job on the planet, but those gutters that are brimming with debris and overhanging with leaves will continue to cast a shadow around your home. Unclog and let the exterior of your home breathe.
  3. Man your shears because a well pruned tree or bush conveys total control of a garden and in turn looks great when basking in the sunlight.
  4. Transform a bare garden with a new patio. A well-pieced and cleverly positioned patio will turn your garden into a sunny spot reminiscent of a Spanish oasis.
  5. Revamp the driveway to reinstate the character of your home. Have you considered some contemporary limestone designs or even a more elegant traditional style?
