Preparing your home for summer often involves changing bedding and window treatments or setting up fans and air conditioning units. While some of these tasks take only a few minutes to complete, others \u2014 like servicing landscaping or gardening tools \u2014 may be a bit more involved.<\/p>\n

To make sure your summer kicks off without a hitch, we\u2019ve put together this top-to-bottom guide on how to prep your home and property for the season.<\/p>\n

How to get your home summer-ready, room by room<\/h2>\n

Bedrooms<\/h3>\n

\n

With warmer weather on its way, it\u2019s a good idea to swap out bulky cold-weather comforters for lightweight bedding. Some consumers place cooling mattress toppers on beds or replace regular pillows with cooling pillows.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Lifewit<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to rearrange your closet, wardrobe and dresser to make summer clothing more accessible. It could be as simple as rotating clothing to different shelves or drawers, or you may prefer to store them in garment storage bags elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\n

\"thermal<\/figure>\n <\/p>

If your bedroom faces the sun, consider upgrading to thermal blackout curtains to keep the room cooler. In addition to blocking out unwanted light, these curtains are often effective at minimizing outside noise.<\/p>\n

Living rooms<\/h3>\n

You can switch cozy essentials in living rooms for lightweight, breathable ones in bright, summery colors. A fluffy throw, for example, can be replaced with a lightweight knit blanket.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Simpli<\/figure>\n <\/p>
\n<\/div>\n

Households that expect to spend more time together during the summer should bring games and activities into the living room, like board games. Keep the space tidy with a storage bench \u2014 which also functions as seating or a makeshift tabletop.<\/p>\n

Kitchens<\/h3>\n

\n

\"melamine<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

If you dine al fresco in the summer, move outdoor dining essentials to accessible areas in the kitchen or pantry. This includes dip trays, melamine dinnerware sets and outdoor drinkware.<\/p>\n

Many people reduce their oven use during the summer. Instead, they use other appliances, like air fryers and toaster ovens. Before you start using these appliances more often, give them a thorough cleaning inside and out.<\/p>\n

Dining rooms<\/h3>\n

\n

\"summer-themed<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Dining rooms are often where household dinners or entertaining happens, so spruce up the space for the new season. Switch to a summer-themed tablecloth, or forgo the tablecloth and use decorative placements for a minimalist look.<\/p>\n

\n

\"light-colored<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

If your dining room has heavy or dark window treatments, consider a seasonal switch to light-colored curtains or sheer panels to brighten the room.<\/p>\n

Dining rooms with chandeliers or light fixtures should be dusted and cleaned. Replace and recycle burned-out or flickering bulbs.<\/p>\n

Bathrooms<\/h3>\n

\n

\"Tilswall<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Bathrooms aren\u2019t often in need of significant summer preparation, other than a good deep-cleaning to start the season fresh. To cut cleaning time in half, invest in supplies like spin scrubbers and steam mops.<\/p>\n

\n

If you didn\u2019t get a chance to declutter the bathroom in springtime, now is the time to do it. Go through your medicine cabinet and vanity to dispose of expired medication, cosmetics and personal care products. Tidy up the ones you\u2019re keeping with organizers.<\/p>\n
