Enjoying the summer weather can transform home life for the better and change the way you use your home. Whether you want to enjoy more time in the garden with kids during the summer holidays, or want spend nice evenings winding down after work, what can you do to make the most of the weather at home?
Improve Garden Access
When the weather’s nice you can’t beat spending the afternoons and weekends out in the garden. Being able to move freely from your kitchen or living space into the garden is perfect for long outdoor days and family events!
Things like patio doors and bi-fold doors that create a seamless opening to your outdoor spaces could be the ticket to a perfect summer!
Let More of the Summer Light In
Natural light is a mood booster – not to mention the cost savings of not needing any lights on during the day!
The time leading up to summer is the best time to give your windows a proper clean so that maximum light can get through.
You could even consider upgrading to larger windows or low-iron glass that gives you higher light transmittance into your home – great for getting as much of the summer’s natural light as possible.
Ventilation
Summer is the best time to let more fresh air into your home, especially when it gets too hot. Making sure that you’re able to ventilate the home well is important if you want to cool down!
Have you got doors and windows in the right places that can open up to give you a cool draught? Make sure to open your windows early in the morning or later in the evening to keep your home coolest, and close them throughout the hottest parts of the day.
Tidy Up The Garden
It’s easy for the garden to get messier throughout the winter and early spring months, with the wet weather and lack of time that gets spent out there. The months leading up to summer are a great time to give it a tidy and freshen it up for long summer days!
Mow the grass, take care of any unwanted plant growth and clean off any garden tables and furniture.
Run With A Home Improvement Idea
A real change to your home is often the best way to maximise your summer joy and as the spring months dry up, there’s no better time to jump into one of the home improvement projects you’ve been dreaming of!
Some home improvements ideal for the summer could be:
- A conservatory that gives you a new space full of warm natural light and allows you to enjoy evening sun at meal times
- A home extension that transforms the back of your house to give you better access to your garden and a perfect indoor-outdoor area
- Get the skylights you’ve always wanted to brighten up a room and fill it with the long-lasting natural light of summer days
What will you be doing to get your home ready for a great summer?
