Spring Time Tips For Your Home
Although the
calendar says spring has officially arrived, the temperatures definitely say
otherwise. But I’m not giving up hope my friends! I don’t know if you’re like
me or not, but my home could definitely use some pick-me-ups to get me in the
mood for spring, and eventually summer! Owning my own Home Staging business for
several years, I have always been into DIY projects, so I’m going to share a
few of my spring “quick tips” that you can use to make your home feel light,
bright and ready for those warmer temps!
Tip #1- Paint! Even if it is just the front door, a little
paint can help bring life to any room or surface! Plus, paint is the cheapest
way to add value to any home and add freshness all around.
Price- $25 a gallon
(approx.)
Tip #2- Bring in the light! Open all those shades, blinds
and curtains and let the natural sunlight come in. Price- FREE
Tip #3- Swap out your family room pillows for some
light-colored decorative ones, in pastels or natural hues.
Price- $35-$40 for a
pair (approx.)
Tip #4- Bring home the green! Nothing says spring time like
flowers and green plants! Spruce up the front porch by adding a potted plant or
two in colorful decorative planters, or add a vase of fresh cut flowers to your
kitchen.
Price- $15 (fresh cut flowers) $40 for green plants (depending on what
variety you buy)
Tip #5 Declutter! Nothing says spring like a little cleaning
and decluttering. Toss out those old newspapers and magazines. Donate old
clothing and furniture to Goodwill or to a shelter. Take half of your
tchotchke’s off the shelf and leave it half empty.
Price- FREE
'
So you see, for under $100, you can get that spring time
feeling without all the fuss or costs! Spring is in the air and hopefully the
temps will not be far behind. Here’s wishing y’all happiness this season!
