It’s easy to feel stagnant in the winter, and you may spend so much time at home that you really get sick of your surroundings. It’s a cliche, but spring is a time for a change and a fresh start. And, a great way to feel recharged in the spring is to spruce things up around the house. Here are a few ways to spruce up your home for spring:

1. Do some spring cleaning.
2. Add a fresh coat of paint.
3. Consider adding or updating a deck.
4. Think about a three or four-season sunroom.
5. Consider a vertical 4-track room.
6. Install new flooring.

1. Do Some Spring Cleaning

Now is the perfect time to air out your home and get some cleaning done. Start by decluttering areas of your home, and then clean those areas. Tackling small areas one at a time is a great way to stay organized and not feel as overwhelmed.

Vacuum and Dust

Vacuum and clean all of your floors and dust floorboards with a damp cloth. Make sure you’re using the right type of cleaner for your flooring. Using the wrong type of cleaner is one of the ways you might be ruining your hardwood flooring. You should also take time to dust furniture and things like ceiling fans.

Clean and Check Windows

You should also clean windows, both inside and out. This is also a great time to assess your windows for things like cracks or water damage. If you find any of these issues, these are just a few reasons to replace your windows.

Clean Your Kitchen

Don’t forget to also spring clean your kitchen; this is a great time to de-grease any appliances, like your stove and range hood. You can also deep clean your refrigerator. Empty out your fridge and throw away any expired food or condiments. Give the shelves and inside a good clean, and then reorganize everything. Wipe down counters and cabinets, and reorganize things if you have the time.

2. Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint can do a lot to spruce up your home. It can help cover any scratches or scuff marks that might have accumulated over time. You don’t even need to repaint all of your home, you can simply paint a room or two, or paint bathroom or kitchen cabinets.

You can also take the opportunity to try a new color. An accent wall is a great way to incorporate some bold colors without committing to painting an entire room. Using bold and saturated colors is a popular interior design trend and is a great way to spruce up your home for spring.

3. Consider Adding or Updating a Deck

A new deck gives your home a whole new look and feel. Using vinyl decking will be ecologically responsible as well as beautiful for many years to come. The deck will not chip, warp, or splinter over time. Also, while it will require some maintenance, it is low-maintenance and will only need basic cleanings.

Plus, an updated or new deck is one of the ways to improve your backyard and boost curb appeal for your home. If you decide to replace or build a new deck, be sure to consider all colors, textures, and patterns that work with your home to ensure you end up with the deck you want and one that complements your home perfectly. Working with Zephyr Thomas makes it easy to review all the options and get sound advice on what works best for your home and the goals for your new deck.

4. Think About a Three or Four-Season Sunroom

Sunrooms are versatile rooms that can be used for anything from an expanded living room to an exercise room, an indoor garden, and more. This versatility is one of the biggest benefits of a sunroom. Not only does it add more functional space to your home, but it’s also a great addition to improve curb appeal.

All of the sunrooms Zephyr Thomas offers are designed to be sturdy, well-built, and will last for many years with proper maintenance, and will add value to your home. Whether you want a four-season sunroom addition or a three-season sunroom, we can help you design and build the sunroom you want and ensure it blends seamlessly with your home.

5. Consider a Vertical 4-Track Room

If you’re set on a 3-season addition, consider a vertical 4-track room. Adding a new 4-track patio room can create a beautiful and comfortable place for you to spend time with your family. Vertical 4-track rooms are customizable to your home and can be a three-season room that will be breezy and comfy throughout the warmer months.

The windows included in the 4-track patio windows can be removed from the top and the bottom. This way, you can enjoy the warmth of the sunshine, the breeze, and the sound of the rain. Possibly the best part of 4-track patio windows is that they are incredibly flexible and durable, which means they can withstand extreme or harsh weather. These are some of the benefits of a vertical 4-track patio enclosure or addition.

6. Install New Flooring

New flooring is a great way to spruce up your home for spring. Before you start the process, there are a few things to consider when choosing flooring. You need to think about how your home functions and what kind of flooring is best to fit your lifestyle. Maintenance and durability are important in helping you get the best floors for your home.

There are many flooring options to choose from, so you should be able to pick something that works for your home and family. If you’re considering hardwood flooring but don’t want to deal with the maintenance, there are a lot of design trends in luxury vinyl flooring to consider. With luxury vinyl flooring, you can get the look of hardwood floors with better durability and less maintenance.
