After the colder days are gone, it might be time to start prepping the house to welcome spring and summer. With some simple chores, you would be able to transform the house into a summer haven and make it healthy at the same time.
Disinfect Your Furniture

Summer Interiors
By going for a seasonal update of your interior, you would be able to render your home fit for the summer. Your interior space might be enhanced with light and bright accessories. Moreover, anything that tends to evoke and provoke heat would need to be set aside. Indeed, heavy rugs, heaters, blankets and fire logs would not be the most welcomed for a sunny summer look. Candles can also be replaced with fresh flowers in vibrant summer colors. Winter mats can also be replaced with more lighter ones.
Summer Outdoors
If you already have a porch or patio, it might be the time to prepare them to welcome warmer days by opting for a new wicker furniture set. A wicker sofa is ideal to indulge in a book or just relax outside during summer days.
Airflow
The airflow can also be freshened to provide a cool summer look. To create a strong draft from the ceiling fan, the counter-clockwise rotation can be selected. This will ensure that the blades are turned upwards while spinning, thus pushing the air downwards. Air conditioner filters would also need to be replaced and central air checked by a professional.
