With the weather improving,
now is the time to start preparing your home for summer so that you can enjoy
spending time at home and feel comfortable throughout. The summer months are
always amongst the most enjoyable, especially those days where you are relaxing
at home and spending time in the backyard. Summer can also be a challenging
time when the temperature starts to climb so you will want to make sure that
the property is ready for this and there are a few essential maintenance tasks
that should be carried out to make the most out of summer.
Switch to
Lighter Window Dressings
Having heavy curtains is
perfect for the colder months of the year as it allows you to shut out the
outside world and retain heat, but this is not much good in the summer where you
will want air to flow and to connect the outside and in. This is why it’s a
smart move to switch to a lighter window dressing, such as a light curtain or
blinds which can still provide privacy but can make it easier to let the
outside in.
Wash the
Windows
You will also want to wash all of the windows in the home both inside and out so that you can
increase natural light coming through and make the windows look their best. The
sunlight can make marks on the windows more noticeable, so it is essential to
get them cleaned; otherwise, this will bring down the tone of the room and be
frustrating to look at.
Tidy the
Yard
There is something special
about relaxing in the garden during the summer months whether you are catching
some sun and reading a good book or socializing with friends and enjoying food
and a few drinks. You will want to tidy the yard to make this an attractive and welcoming space,
which might involve:
-
Mowing the lawn
-
Trimming hedges
and branches
-
Cleaning garden
furniture
-
Painting the
fence
-
Setting up a
social space
-
Plant flowers,
vegetables, and herbs
AC
Servicing
The AC is essential for the
summer months and will help to keep you cool even on the hottest of days, so
you certainly won’t want it to break down when you need it the most. You can
avoid this by calling out an air conditioning servicing
specialist who will make
sure that your unit is in top condition to keep you and the entire home cool
throughout the summer months.
Declutter
Each Room
During the summer you will
want a fresh, clean, and open feel in the home. This is why it is a good idea
to declutter and spring clean each room, which can make a big
difference to the look and feel of the entire house and make it easier to
relax. You can then add summery touches to each room, such as fresh flowers,
colorful cushions, and electric fans.
These are the steps that you
should take to get your home ready for summer so that you can make the most out
of this special time of the year.
