Spring is finally peeking through, but just because the calendar says so doesn’t mean the weather agrees! Between icy gusts and unexpected rain, we swap our winter coats for a light jacket… only to grab the coat again three hours later.
But while Mother Nature hesitates, your home can definitely get ready to welcome the warmer days. Here are a few tips to smoothly (and efficiently) transition into spring!
Time for Spring Cleaning… in Moderation
Spring and deep cleaning go hand in hand! But before diving into a cleaning marathon worthy of a reality show, start with the essentials:
- Open the windows to let in fresh air (even if it means shivering a little—it's worth it!).
- Dust off surfaces and clean the windows to let the sunshine in.
- Sort and organize: set aside anything that clutters your space and give a second life to items you no longer use.
Say Goodbye to Winter Remnants
Salt-stained boots, lonely gloves, and scarves piled up at the entrance? Time to put them away! But beware—spring in Quebec often brings surprise cold snaps. Keep a light jacket and a few accessories handy… you never know!
Get Your Outdoor Space Spring-Ready
Even if your yard still looks like a winter scene, a few simple steps will help you get ready for the sunny days ahead:
- Clear away accumulated debris (branches, dead leaves, etc.).
- Check your outdoor furniture and clean it so it’s ready as soon as the sun comes out.
- Inspect the roof, gutters, and foundation to make sure winter didn’t leave behind any unwanted surprises.
Refresh Your Home Décor
No need for a major makeover—just a few spring touches can make all the difference!
- Swap out cushions for lighter, more colorful options.
- Choose sheer curtains to maximize natural light.
- Add some plants or a fresh bouquet to bring in a breath of fresh air.
Prepping Your Home for Sale? Now’s the Time!
