2 Make a Fun Outdoor Living Space

Get your home ready for spring by looking at your outdoor living space.

Spring is the best time of the year to refresh or make an outdoor living space. If you live in a sunny warm climate you can add some shade with an umbrella or hang some shade cloth.

Adding some outdoor furniture is a great way to make a second living room or dining area.

We added an outdoor couch and table to our backyard and it feels as if we have doubled our living area.

Some potted plants and a rug can make the whole space feel complete.

3 Declutter Your Home

I think a lot of us focus on cleaning and not decluttering when Spring rolls around. Your home will feel refreshed and cleaner by getting rid of all the extra stuff.

If you declutter before you clean it will make the cleaning process a lot easier too.

Clean out stuff you don’t need
Throw away trash and broken items
Get rid of the clothes that no longer fit

5 Make a Raised Garden Bed

Marigolds
Cilantro
Zucchini
Lettuce
Tomatoes
onions
Basil
Bell Peppers

7 Think About The Air Quality In Your Home

When spring rolls around we are thinking fresh warm air blowing through our homes. One way is by opening all the windows and airing out our home.

Cleaning all the screens so the air can easily flow through and adding an air purifier if needed.

One easy way to add fresh air to your home is with plants. I have plants in almost every room in my home.

13 Clean out the Gutters

Cleaning out the gutters is something we should remember to do every season. This way when a rain storm hits we aren’t out there on a ladder digging leaves out of the gutter.

Believe me when I say I have been there!

14 Update the Outdoor Lights

Outdoor lighting can elevate the way your home looks at night. We added some solar lights to some of our plants and some spotlights to the front of our home.

Lighting changes the feel of a home and makes it look lived in.

15 Switch Up the Look of a Room

Changing the look of a room can be free and easy. Move the furniture around!

See if the couch looks better on a different wall.

Move the art around to a different wall. Whenever I move some plants around my home feels new and fresh even if it’s the same stuff I have had for years.

If you can spend a little money you can buy a cover for worn down furniture which can make a space look new again.

Spring fever is in the air and it’s the perfect opportunity to refresh your home. I hope some of these “get your home ready for spring” ideas have inspired you to freshen up the inside of your home and outdoor spaces.
