Spring is upon us — and with it comes spring cleaning. We’re here with quick and simple ideas of how to spruce up your home.

Spring is a common time to declutter and make all-around improvements around the house. But what if you don’t have a lot of time? We’ve got you covered. Keep reading for five simple upgrades you can make to your home this spring that make a big impact.

• Get a Fire Pit

  Buying a propane fire pit is an easy way to make your home look more inviting. Set it up outside and you have an instant gathering place for friends and loved ones. The best part is it’s also an ideal spot for your solo time. Curl up with your morning coffee or a good book and enjoy the good life.

• Do Major Yard Cleanup

  After fall and winter, most yards need a major deep clean. This means raking, weeding, removing dead plants, and removing other yard debris. Is it fun? No. But will it make a huge difference in the way your yard looks? Yes. And trust us, you’ll want your yard in tip-top shape for those beautiful upcoming summer nights with friends.

• Donate Old Furniture

  Chances are you have old patio or yard furniture that’s been outside for a while. Years of harsh weather has probably wrought havoc on at least one or two pieces; time to upgrade. Replacing the outdoor furniture doesn’t have to be expensive. Check out resources like Facebook Marketplace, NextDoor, and OfferUp to score used furniture in excellent condition.

• Install Pavers

  One surefire way to elevate the look of your yard without costly renovations is to add some pavers. They are relatively cheap and easy to find, which is a plus. Add some leading from your porch to the garden or as a walkway around the house. This instantly adds curb appeal and makes your yard look nicer.

• Set Up Flower Beds

  Adding color and greenery to your home doesn’t have to be expensive. It also requires minimal effort. All you need to do is set up a few flower beds. Where are the best spots to put them? Our favorites: around your mailbox for a pop of color and under window sills to liven up your home’s exterior.

These minor upgrades make a big difference in the way your home looks. However, if you’ve been thinking of selling, there are other cosmetic upgrades you can undertake to help sell for more.
