A Summer Spruce-up for Your Home

It's a fresh new season. With our days sunny and brighter, surely you will want to change the winter mood and feel of your property to a more summery one?
 

Put the sparkle back into your pool

It's likely that soon you will want to spring into your pool to cool off now that it's our warm season. Bring it back to life with whatever renovations are needed - replacing old paving or mosaics, repairing any leaks, adding a heating mechanism, resurface the marbelite or re-line the marbelite with fibreglass. 
 

Soon it will be sparkling and inviting again - ready for your first swim or for you to host your first pool party of the season!

Put the summer back into your bathroom and kitchen

It's time to freshen up the look of your home. Here are some instant, but quick and easy, DIY ways to transform your bathroom and kitchen - in just a weekend -  that will add value to your home when selling.
 

Pleasing paint:

Whether using the same, a different or contrasting colour, nothing refreshes the look of any room like a newly painted wall or resprayed cabinets. View https://plascon.com/ for the latest in paint trends and colour shades. At https://paintsmiths.co.za/ you can also use the colour picker to see how each different trendy shade transforms a room. 
 

Superior Shelving:

Open, wall mounted shelves in small rooms create an illusion of more space than enclosed cupboards. Use contemporary materials and finishes, store artefacts, kitchen accessories or towels and toiletries - these not only make a stylish statement but also give a neat and organised appearance to your room. But less is more, so don't overcrowd these! 

Hanging wire or mini baskets under cabinets in a kitchen creates a tidy storage space for those seldom used items which are cluttering the countertops.

Only keep the most used items visible and on display in the kitchen or bathroom.
 

Handsome handles and hooks:

Replace your old cabinet handles or towel hooks with sleek modern ones.
 

Leading-edge lighting: 

Upgrade your boring old light shades with fashionable new styles to add interest and enhance the mood of your room. 

Put your personality back into your home

Bring more of your personality and texture into your home by - accessorising with pops of summer colours; hanging treasured art works or ornamental mirrors; featuring quirky knick knacks on shelves or placing or suspending eye-catching plants in decorative pots or baskets. 

A trendy linen wicker basket or simple stool or comfy chair can add impact to a bathroom.
