Here are our top 4 ideas to show spruce up your home and show it some love this month.
Plant some flowers around it.
Planting your own flowers will cost less than buying from the shops every week and you’ll always have something beautiful to look at. Leroy Merlin has wonderful garden tools to help you plant and maintain your garden to keep it looking fantastic. If you need some help, Kandua has some excellent pros that can help with landscaping as well as disposing of garden refuse.
Set the mood.
Changing the lighting in your home can make it look like completely brand new. Installing some light switch dimmers, getting new light bulbs, or even including accent lighting can change the entire atmosphere in your home. Consult an experienced, certified electrician to advise you on the best, most affordable way to set the mood in your home.
Take care of it.
Now is the perfect time to fix those odds and ends that need attention. A creaking door, drafty windows, or even kitchen cabinets that need repairing. This is the best time to contact a 5 star rated carpenter to do the job for you before autumn rolls around and you’re spending more time indoors.
Give it a makeover.
Give your walls a fresh coat of paint. It’s an excellent way to liven up your home, especially after the summer rains. Depending on the size of your home, this could be a big job so it’s best to consult with a background checked painter with 5 star reviews before you get started.
