10 Ways to Show Love to Your Home This Valentine's Day
10 Ways to Show Love Your Home this Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is almost here! Time to buy a Hallmark card and a package of chocolates for that special person in your life. In addition to celebrating your loved ones, why not show your home some love this Valentine’s Day as well.
Here are some ways to say “I love you” to your home:
Clean, Clean, Clean (to the tune of the queen of love herself, Taylor Swift)
No need to wait until Spring to do a deep cleaning. This Valentine’s Day, break out the rubber gloves and give your home a good cleaning that will not only make your home look better, but make you feel good when you finish the task. If you do not have time to clean your whole house, consider hiring a cleaning service to treat both yourself and your home.
Buy Something Nice
Flowers are not just for your loved ones! One of the easiest ways to brighten your home is to buy fresh flowers for color and scent. Treat yourself and your home to a bouquet of flowers for one or more rooms in your house this Valentine’s Day.
Organize Clutter
We all have places in our home where clutter builds up. Reorganize your closet, garage, laundry room, and any other space that could use some TLC. This may seem like an overwhelming task but make it more exciting by turning on your favorite music to energize your clean-up.
Fix Something that is Broken
Take some time to inspect your appliances and other essential items in your home and choose a few to upgrade or fix. These upgrades do not need to break the budget! Seal up some windows that are not working well, upgrade some insulation, replace that toaster that burns your toast, or give a room a fresh coat of paint.
Upgrade a Space
If you live in an older home, it may be time to complete some upgrades. Bring your home into the 21st century by upgrading your appliances, carpets, wood-paneled walls, and any other improvements you feel would increase your home’s value.
Redecorate and Rearrange
Your personal style and aesthetics are always changing as well as popular interior trends. Take Valentine’s Day to redecorate a room and rearrange furniture to make your home feel fresh and new. If you are stuck on trends of the past, redecorate with today’s popular décor that will fit any style or season.
Increase Curb Appeal
Do not forget to give the exterior of your home some love! Add a festive Valentine’s Day wreath to your front door, invest in a new mailbox, or add some flowers to your porch for a touch of color. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, make sure to keep up with shoveling to keep all driveways and sidewalks clear.
Purchase Smart Technology
Smart home technology has increased in popularity and enables homeowners to feel safer inside their homes. There are many diverse types of home automations including smart thermometers, home security systems, smart doorbells and locks, and indoor lighting automations. Adding a smart device to your home could make your home more efficient, save you money, and enhance your home’s safety.
Refinance Your Mortgage
You may not think this is the most romantic way to show love, but to us, this is one of the best ways to show you care about your home this Valentine’s Day. If you have been waiting to refinance your mortgage, now could be a great time to do so.
