Spring is only a few days away! Soon, the weather will be warmer, the birds will chirp non-stop, and you might even find yourself with a case of spring fever. Here are a few ways that you can get the inside and outside of your home ready for the new season.

Start Your Spring Cleaning

Kitchen

Welcome spring with a clean and healthy home by deep cleaning absolutely everything. Now that the weather is warmer, you can open the windows (after cleaning them, of course) to let the fresh air in while you scrub away the built up dust and dirt of winter. Deep cleaning an entire home is a daunting task, so break it into smaller chores and make a plan for how and when to tackle them.

(Don’t forget to clean the often overlooked places!)

Start Your Garden

If you’re planning on gardening this year, it’s time to kick your preparation into high gear. Find out what zone you live in, and set a timeline for buying plants or seeds, starting seeds indoors, weeding, preparing the soil, and moving your plants outdoors.

Bring the Outside In

Adding a fresh flower arrangement to a room can bring new life to the space. You can also hang a festive spring wreath on your front door as a way to welcome visitors to your home. However you choose to display your flowers and spring plants, you’ll immediately notice an improvement in the way the room feels.

Keep Up with Home Maintenance

Winter weather can be hard on a home, and conducting a home maintenance inspection can reveal problems that need to be addressed. From clogged gutters to a leaky roof to a crack in the foundation, there are several things that homeowners need to look out for. In addition to the inspection, there are other tasks that need to be completed to help your home adjust to the change in the seasons.

  1. I love this because I always feel so restricted in the winter time. This summer I promised myself to really take full advantage of the good weather and all the freedom it offers. Great read, and I agree completely! 💚
