3 Home Improvement Ideas For Spring In Bluff City, TN

“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” - Leo Tolstoy. If you’re like me, every spring you want to fling open the windows and scrub everything down to get your house looking its best.

Here are 3 home improvement tips for spring in Bluff City to give your home a fresh start. 

1. Perform A Spring Checkup For Energy Efficiency And Safety

Spring is a great time to ensure all of your home’s systems are ready for the summer. Here are some things you should inspect every spring in Bluff City:

• HVAC System. Run your air conditioning system to ensure that it can handle the summer heat. Increase your HVAC system’s energy efficiency by changing your furnace and air conditioning filters. Many HVAC companies provide this service for a small fee.
• Smoke Detectors. Keep your home and family safe by testing your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Put new batteries in your alarms in the spring and in the fall.
• Caulking and Windows. Inspect the caulking around doors, windows, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures for small cracks. Fix the caulking if needed. Install window treatments, like plantation shutters, to improve your window’s energy efficiency and temperature control. Open and close all your windows to make sure that they can freely move.

2. Tackle The Dirt To See Your House Shine

Nothing makes your house sparkle as well as a good, deep clean. Begin by decluttering all of your rooms to open up the space. Next, clean areas you don’t wipe down every week such as kitchen and bathroom walls, baseboards, floors, and ceiling fans. Shine your kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Move your furniture to clean the areas under and behind it and then vacuum your furniture as well.

Bring in more light by cleaning your windows. Scrub your screens and windows to remove dirt and smudges. Wipe down your shutters, and clean your shades and draperies. You can give your blinds a new look with an ultrasonic cleaning treatment.

3. Redecorate Your Rooms For A Fresh Look

Now that you’ve cleaned your house and decluttered it, you’re ready for the fun part: redecorating.

The simplest way to redecorate is to use what you already have. Rearrange the furniture to update the room’s look. Or you can shop your home, which means switching out the furniture and accessories you already have between rooms. Add more color with colorful accessories, paint, and plants.
