Spring is right around the corner, meaning that now is the perfect time to transition your home from winter to spring. Winter and spring are very different seasons and spring acts as an in between step before the extreme temperatures of summer. Spring is a great time to accomplish some cleaning as well as to spruce and brighten up your apartment for the warmer months. We have put together some ideas in regards to what you should do prepare your home for spring.
Spring Cleaning
This is a no brainer. Thoroughly clean both the inside and the outside of your apartment and you will likely be very pleased with the results. A clean apartment will relax you and make you feel comfortable. Sweep dust, de-clutter; do what you need to do to feel as if you conducted a productive spring-cleaning. Other great spring-cleaning tasks are going on a paper hunt in your apartment. Grab a bag and gather magazines, newspapers, receipts, and any other paper products that you no longer need and are ready to recycle.
Switch Your Closet
Your closet is likely currently arranged with all of your winter clothing easily accessible. As the weather begins to warm up, rearrange your closet and put your winter coats and other cold weather apparel into storage or in the back of your closet. This will make the spring and summer months much easier for you. This is a very simple task, but can make a big difference. It is also always a good idea to go through your clothes and pick a few items that you no longer wear to donate to charity.
Change Your Decor
Change up a few small aspects of the decor in your apartment to add some excitement for spring. Switch the color of your bed sheets, add new throw pillows, or switch out your accent rugs. Making small changes to your color scheme depending on the season can be very satisfying. It is also a great idea to add some new houseplants or to get in the habit of buying flowers for your apartment every few weeks. Houseplants will add healthy oxygen to your apartment in addition to a pleasant smell.
Go Through Your Garage
If your apartment has a garage, now is a great time to go through your garage and get rid of what you no longer need. It is easy for your garage to pile up and a great idea is to make piles of the things you want to get rid of, the things you want to donate, and the things that you want to potentially sell. You will be surprised by how pleasing organizing the garage can be!
The changing of the seasons is a great time to make a few changes to your apartment. We hope that you find these transition tips useful and enjoy the warm spring weather this year!
