It’s always fun to watch talented designers spruce-ups your homes but what can everyday people do to spruce up their own homes for spring? Take a look at these do-it-yourself spring touch-up ideas of home improvement how-tos from Lowe’s:

Simple Spruce-Ups Your Home

1- Paint

It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do for any room in the home. In just a day, you can give your home an updated look. Before you jump in, be sure to clean your walls with tri-sodium phosphate, remove cover plates, and protect floors and furniture. For an on-trend update, try Benjamin Moore’s pick for interior paint color of the year, a breath of fresh air 806.

2- Landscape

Use the warmer weather as an excuse to get outside and get your yard back in tip top shape. Start with the basics like hedge trimming and weed pulling, and look for ways to update your lawn look. Consider a DIY water fountain or adding a raised garden bed with spring vegetables. Spend just one weekend afternoon outside and you can make a big difference in your landscaped look.

Lowe’s is on hand to help customers with their home improvement projects. This spring, Lowe’s is also hosting American Dream Builders – a tv series on NBC with an online series as well. The television show brings together 12 of the country’s most accomplished home builders and designers to produce sweeping home renovations in a competition against each other.

3- Redecorate.

You don’t need a big budget to redo the interior look of your home. Move around items you already own and repurpose them for a new twist on your decor. Add spray-painted designs to dull lampshades or switch up your window treatments to send a different message about the room where they hang.  There are plenty of ideas out there to redecorate your home simply and without buying anything new so take a creative step back and decide how to make those ideas work in your space.

4- Purge and Organize

It is amazing how mentally and physically freeing it can be to unload household items and reorganize what is left. Making more space in your home lends itself to a more peaceful atmosphere and studies have found that clutter and depression often go hand-in-hand. Create a sorting/organization plan for the entire house that includes closets, drawers, toy bins, and kitchen cabinets. Get rid of whatever is weighing you down materially and invest in some space-saving items for the rest.

5- Update

How long has it been since you switched out the photos hanging in the dining room? Or replaced the throw pillows in the living room? Do you still have a few lingering holiday decorations around? Look for easy, convenient ways to bring your home into the current season by swapping outdated items for fresh ones.

Conclusion

Remember that a spring spruce-up project does not have to cost a lot. Using the resources you already have can be a smart way to get your home ready for the warmer months, and the rest of the year too.
