Planning Ahead: Is Your House Ready for Summer?

This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own.

I know, I know, we are still in the depths of winter right now, but that doesn't mean we can’t start thinking (and dreaming) about the warmer, sunnier summer months ahead! Maybe you’ll be heading away on vacation for some quality family time ...we’re definitely hoping to! But for the majority of the time, it’ll be about making memories at home, embracing the summer break. Since summer goes hand in hand with hotter weather, keeping comfortable at home is important for enjoying your daily routine. No one likes being hot and sweaty! Here are some suggestions to prepare your home for the summer.

Make your home a comfortable temperature

In the summer, you may spend quite a bit of time at home, so think of ways you can keep your home cool. Investing in an air conditioning unit is an obvious one. If your home already has one but you know it needs a repair, now is a good time to find an ac repair expert. You could also think about installing ceiling fans strategically. There are many sleek, modern, nicely designed ones that won’t detract from your home’s aesthetic.

Focus on your body temperature

Sometimes, it isn’t your surroundings that you need to focus on. Sip cold drinks, stay hydrated, and wear clothing made from breathable material. It will help you to feel more comfortable in the heat and allow you to get on with your plans and routines.

Close the curtains and shades 

Window treatments, whether they are blinds or shades or curtains, are important for energy efficiency and temperature control. Now is a great time to get them in place, if you don’t have them already. Your home can really get heated by the sun shining through the windows, so consider closing window treatments during the brightest parts of the day, especially in rooms like bedrooms that you’re not using during that time anyways. This will make your bedrooms much cooler when you head to bed...an easy and effective way to help you and your kids be comfortable at night!

It may seem like summer is way in the distant future, but preparing now will set you up for success. Your future self will thank you!
