When spring arrives, flowers bloom and trees grow new leaves. If you’re inspired by the world around you, it’s time to make a few changes, enjoying the fruits of your labors all year long. By trying out these home projects for spring, you can make your home more valuable. Whether you’re preparing it for the market or plan to enjoy it for years to come, your home will benefit from these home improvement ideas.
- Spring cleaning. Who can forget about this seasonal staple? If you can, enlist housemates, family members, and friends in the task. You can even turn it into a celebration of the season and order takeout to enjoy in your newly-cleaned home.
- Adding new closet drawers and shelving. In your closet, there’s only so much space. If you install new drawers and shelving, however, you’ll have more room than ever before. With the extra storage space, you can also benefit from the added bonus that you’ll have a spot to store away your winter clothes.
- Start planting. Want to fill your home with fresh flowers? Rather grow your own produce? Or would you like to try both? Planting flowers, fruit, or vegetables are all fun home projects for spring.
- Cleaning the floors. Vacuuming, mopping, or waxing—your floors need all the attention they can get. With peoples’ feet and shoes crossing the carpet or hardwood, the flooring in your home needs to be taken care of this spring.
- Attending to your yard. Now that the cold has gone away, your yard has come back to life.
Rev up your mower—it’s time to give the grass a good cut. Don’t forget to prune the hedges and trees around your property, too.
- Applying a new paint job. Spring is here, so you may want the interior of your house to reflect the beautiful colors outside. Light yellow or light blue walls, for instance, will make your rooms look larger and brighter. Plus, you can take the time to add simple stenciled or decaled designs, which can personalize your home.
- Getting the grill ready. No matter how much you love grilling in the warmer months, it’s likely that you’ve neglected your grill during the winter. Clean it thoroughly, check that it can operate safely, and make sure that it’s in shape to use before you turn it on for spring and summer grilling sessions.
- Tending to your air conditioner. With summer around the corner, the last thing you want is a nonfunctional air conditioner. Check to see if it’s in the proper condition. Whether that means looking for leaks, replacing filters, and attending to the drip pans, you’ll be grateful that you carried out this task.
Keeping cool, clean, and comfortable is important. With these home projects for spring, you can do just that—and look forward to the progress you make.
