The spring season is just around the corner, making it ideal for working on deferred maintenance projects so your home is ready to be listed in the spring. To prepare, spend your time wisely by accomplishing a few of the following tasks.
Patch and Paint
One of the quickest ways to freshen your home is by patching walls and painting the interior. To stay current with Pantone color trends, consider repainting your hallway or living area in the 2025 color of the year, chocolate mousse. This neutral yet rich earth-toned color adds warmth and depth to your living space and softens the light for a cozy and welcoming vibe. When referring to the color wheel for inspiration, consider accessorizing your room painted in this tone of brown with shades of blues in your artwork, accent pillows or blankets.
Replace and Update
Refresh existing fixtures can be quick and practical. Replace draw pulls and outdated light fixtures. Take the extra time to brush up on essential maintenance like tightening a railing or door handle, addressing that broken garbage disposal and purchasing and hanging a new ceiling fan in the sunroom.
Clean It Up
Clean the coat and storage closets and make a donation pile for your favorite charity. Take expired cleaning supplies from under the kitchen sink to the local recycling unit. Do you remember the last time you took everything under the vanity out and did a deep clean? Now is the perfect time to accomplish everything on your “I’ll get to it later” list. Move the furniture out from the walls and dust and vacuum behind it. Your baseboards are likely feeling neglected. Get the carpets professionally cleaned, or borrow a cleaner from a friend so you know the floors are fresh.
