As we transition into school holidays, trips away and (moderately) nice weather here in the UK, it\u2019s time to turn our attentions to our homes. Whilst \u2018the beat from the east\u2019 might be a distant memory, many of us will<\/span> still need to spruce up our homes ready for BBQs and get-togethers. If you enjoy hosting parties, it\u2019s especially important that you get your home in top shape to wow your guests. Let summer vibes run through your house, and use these top tips to get your home ready for the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Get your windows gleaming<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no doubt your windows will have taken a battering during the winter months. As the sun shines through, you might begin to notice the dirt marks and collection of dust that covers their surface. Mix tap water and white distilled vinegar in equal parts, and you\u2019ve got the perfect cleaning solution. Put this into a spray bottle and cover the window\u2019s surface before wiping clean. If you have some windows that are particularly stubborn, try washing them with soapy water beforehand, then finish with the vinegar and water solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Revamp the garden<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The time of garden neglect is most definitely over. Start by cutting the grass right down, and planting grass seeds if you have any bald patches. Make sure to water the grass seeds regularly, and in a couple of weeks you should have a fuller, greener looking garden. Perfect for summer BBQs! Patios can be jet-washed, removing excess grime to show clean stone or wood. As the long summer nights roll in, you might want to add some extra character to your garden once the sun goes down. A few fairy lights or low-level lamps can change the entire feel of your garden, and give you more of an excuse to stay outside for longer!<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to de-clutter\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many homeowner\u2019s worst nightmare is excess clutter taking over their homes. It\u2019s especially difficult when you\u2019ve got a young family. No matter how ahead you think you\u2019ve gotten, one busy afternoon can soon mean your clean home descends into a chaotic mess once more. With that being said, <\/span>taking some time to de-clutter your home can make a big difference. Removing any ornaments, knick-knacks or unused tech out of sight can really help to open up a space and make the room feel light and airy again. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to pawn your treasured belongings \u2013 just find somewhere to store them until the colder months. Once summer\u2019s over, those knick-knacks can come back out to make your home feel cosier. <\/span><\/p>\n

Go for a lighter d\u00e9cor<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to your home\u2019s interior design, a subtle change in colours can make a huge difference. The look and feel of a space can completely change. Whilst you may be hesitant about going for a full re-paint, even changes slight design elements can have the desired effect. Rather than painting every wall, paint just one in a subtle pastel colour \u2013 preferably one that\u2019s facing a window. This will add a splash of colour, whilst making the most of natural light. New covers for throw cushions, thin blankets, a change of photo frames \u2013 these are all relatively inexpensive yet effective ways to change up your home\u2019s colour scheme to be more summery this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep clean surfaces and floors<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of the lucky ones who simply enjoys cleaning, then no doubt you\u2019ll rejoice at the thought of cleaning every nook and cranny in your home. However, if just the thought worries you, then you might need to take it one step at a time. Try to complete one room or one job per day. For example, you could focus on just the kitchen one day, or clean the surfaces in each room. Whichever way you decide to tackle the cleaning, it\u2019s so important that it gets done. <\/span>Carpets<\/span><\/a> also need to be deep-<\/span>\u00a0cleaning to prevent them trapping dust and allergens that are so common in summer. Sofas, chairs and any other upholstered surface should be washed thoroughly \u2013 pillow covers and blankets should pop straight in the washing machine. Once you\u2019ve finished, you\u2019ll instantly see the difference. The entire house will smell nicer, and the air will feel cleaner than ever before!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
