Getting Your Home And Garden Ready For The Spring Months With Aliwood

With warmer weather and sunny skies fast approaching, and fresh green shoots just around the corner, it’s time to get your home stirring again after its winter hibernation. So here are our top tips to have a home ready for spring!

There’s lots to be done around the home and garden to remove that stuffy feeling that often settles over a home following Christmas. The design team at Aliwood, manufacturers of bespoke roof lanterns in Essex, have put together a list of ways you can get your home and garden in great shape for the upcoming spring months.

Install A Roof Lantern

This time of year signals the lengthening of days, with bright and crisp sunshine lifting people’s moods the nation over. There’s no reason why this light shouldn’t extend into your home. In fact, it should be actively encouraged! Having an Aliwood roof lantern installed is a fantastic way to maximise the amount of natural light entering your home. Aliwood’s premium and bespoke roof lanterns come in a range of shapes, sizes and are built to last. Now is a great time to get one installed, as well, so that your home is all ready for the lighter, brighter days of spring and summertime.

Give Your Home A Spring Clean

We couldn’t put together this list without mentioning the famous spring clean! Doing a spring clean properly is one of the best things you can do to make your home feel fresh, bright and spacious. The main thing you should do is take some time to declutter your home. Now, we aren’t necessarily advocating a full Marie Kondo “does it spark joy?” spree here; but if we’re honest with ourselves, we could all do with getting rid of some of the stuff in our lives. This doesn’t have to be such a final and permanent thing, either. Storage units are incredibly cost-effective means of freeing up space in your home for items that you simply don’t have space for.

Get Those Green Fingers Going

Spring is one of the nicest times of the year for the garden. Flowers in bloom, colour bursting through and turning your garden’s dull beiges and greens into an abstract canvas of variety. To make sure your garden is ready, take the following steps: install some homemade water butts to make the most of the season’s rainfall, and in preparation for any droughts down the line. Give your fences a fresh lick of varnish or paint to leave them looking as good as new; after all, no one likes a tattered garden fence! You should order a composting bin if you haven’t already, to make the most of all your kitchen and garden waste. Finally, order some bulbs that will flower in Summer, and get planting them as soon as possible!

Give Your Carpets A New Lease Of Life

Carpets are infamous for collecting dirt, the amount of grime that can accumulate in the fibres of a carpet over time is staggering. Taking the time to deep clean your carpets makes a big difference to your home. You can either hire in a company to deep clean your carpets, or alternatively, you can do it yourself with a steam cleaner or a store-bought shampoo, which are much more effective than they used to be. All it takes is a quick Google of carpets before and after deep cleaning, and you’ll see for yourself the benefits of doing it.
