With travel on the back burner right now, most of us are spending so much more time at home than usual. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with loved ones, but it’s also a great time to get your home in the condition you want it to be in. Whether you’re concerned about the look of the exterior of your home or are wondering about ways you can make it more comfortable, I’ve got a few suggestions that are sure to help. Read on for 4 tips for sprucing up your home to add value and make you fall in love with it again.
1. Pressure Washing
Over time the exterior of our homes will end up with a layer of dirt, it’s just inevitable. Even if you have a dark paint colour, you’re likely to notice build up over time. Opting for a new layer of paint can be very expensive and time-consuming, as well as not even necessary. Instead, you can hire professional pressure washing services that can completely transform the look of your home. If you’re located in the Destin, FL area then you’re probably going to be looking for a pressure washing service on HWY 98. Working local means you can support a smaller family-owned business and be assured you’re going to get personalized service.
2. Think About Your Outdoor Area
Right now most of us are at home, trying to ride out the virus situation. Depending on where you are, you may be unable to go out and visit friends and family as usual. This means the spaces in your home are more important than ever. Look to your yard area, do you have a nice seating area so you can enjoy being outside? Maybe you’ve always wanted to invest in your garden but haven’t had the free time. Well, now you do! This is the perfect time to make your outdoor area somewhere you love being.
3. Cut the Clutter
This is one of my favourite ways to spruce up your home because it doesn’t cost a cent, in fact, it can even make you money. If you’re anything like me, then you have a habit of holding onto things much longer than you need them, which results in plenty of clutter in your home. I’m pretty bad at doing this with clothing, holding onto things I no longer like or fit, just because maybe “one day” in future I will. Deciding to cut the clutter is a great way to clear yourself of things that no longer serve a purpose in your home. You can donate them to people who really need them, or sell them to make an extra buck or two. You may be surprised to see how much your space is transformed once you have gotten rid of the things that don’t really serve you.
4. Put Photos on Display
We haven’t been able to see our extended family for over two months and while I’m grateful for video calls, it’s definitely a hard time. Why not get some family photos printed and place them around your home? With the Internet it’s so easy to print things directly on canvas, or have them arrive already framed, making it easier than ever to decorate your home with your loved ones. Having photos around your home is a wonderful way to feel closer to your family members, especially if you’re unable to see them right now.
There’s no better time than now to spruce up your home and hopefully these tips help you make some quick and affordable transformations!
