Tips for Getting Your Home Ready for the New Season
Spring brings longer days, blooming flowers, and warmer temperatures. It’s the season of renewal, making it the perfect time to refresh your home and create a light, bright, and welcoming space. Whether tackling deep cleaning, updating your decor, or enhancing your HVAC system, these tips will help you embrace the season and breathe new life into your living space.
Bring in Fresh Blooms
Nothing says spring like fresh flowers! Head to your local farmer’s market or grocery store and grab tulips, daffodils, or peonies. Arrange them in vases, mason jars, or vintage pitchers to add pops of color to your home. Don’t forget to include fresh herbs like basil or mint for a touch of greenery and an inviting fragrance.
Lighten Up Your Throws and Pillows
Swap out heavy winter blankets for lightweight throws made of cotton or linen. Add colorful or floral-patterned throw pillows to your couch or bed to embrace spring vibes. Mixing velvet, fringe, or crochet textures can create a fun, layered look.
Declutter Your Space
Spring cleaning is essential for a fresh start. Go through closets, drawers, and storage spaces, creating piles to keep, donate, or discard. Use baskets and bins to organize what remains. This process clears physical clutter and helps create a calming, open atmosphere.
Let in Fresh Air and Natural Light
Open your windows to improve air quality and brighten your home with natural light. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for fresh, cool air. Consider investing in an air purifier if you live in a polluted area, or check pollen counts for allergies.
Show Your HVAC System Some TLC
- Schedule Maintenance: Regular HVAC maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently all season. A technician can inspect, clean, and tune your unit to avoid breakdowns.
- Replace Air Filters: Dirty filters reduce efficiency and worsen air quality. Replace them every three months or more frequently if you have pets or allergies.
- Clean Vents and Registers: Dust and debris can block airflow. Wipe down vents and registers to keep air circulating effectively.
Check Your Thermostat:
Test your thermostat to ensure it’s working properly. For older systems, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for energy efficiency and convenience.
Consider an Upgrade:
If your system is outdated, upgrading to a high-efficiency unit can save money in the long run while providing better cooling and comfort.
