3 Home Improvement Ideas For Spring In Riverside California

Leo Tolstoy said, “Spring is the time of plans and projects.” Spring brings out the desire to open your windows and roll up your sleeves so that your house looks its best.

Here are 3 home improvement tips for spring in Riverside so that your home looks as good as new. 

1. Go Through A Spring Checkup For Safety And Energy Efficiency

Spring is one of the best times to make sure all of your home’s systems are ready for the summer. Here’s a list of some of the things you should inspect every spring in Riverside:

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

2. Deep Clean Your House So That It Shines

If you want to see your house really shine, give it a deep clean. Begin by decluttering your rooms to open up your home. After that, clean surfaces you don’t scrub regularly.These areas include floors, kitchen and bathroom walls, baseboards, and ceiling fans. Wipe your kitchen and bathroom fixtures until they shine. Move your furniture to clean under and behind it and then vacuum your furniture as well.

Brighten your home by cleaning your windows. Scrub your windows and screens to remove smudges and dust. Clean your draperies and shades and wipe down your shutters. 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 easiest way to redecorate is to start with what you have. Rearrange your furniture to update the room’s look. Or you can shop your home, which means switching out the furniture and accessories you already own between rooms. Bring in more color with paint, bright accent pillows, and plants.
