5 Home and Garden Hacks to make your life easier

March 22, 2021 by Maya

It is fair to say that we would all love having a neat and tidy, up to date looking home and outdoor area, but it is also fair to say we don’t like to spend hours of our busy lives dedicating time to strenuous home improvement tasks. This article will offer some helpful insights in to how we can maintain our homes and gardens in a relatively easy and resourceful way.

Ditch your dying grass

Unfortunately, natural grass lawns can seem like they are very high maintenance to those who do not frequently cut and water their lawn. As a result of the lawn being neglected the grass can often die and almost look straw-like. This is where artificial grass really does become your best friend. Artificial grass looks very natural and it is of the highest quality, so it is going to last for many years.

Invest in a water sprinkler

Water sprinklers are amazing because they effortlessly water a whole garden. If you want your plants and flowers to be kept in tip top condition, without needing to psychically go out to the garden with a hose or watering can, then a water sprinkler will definitely make gardening less of a chore.

If you are wondering whether water sprinklers are a bit too pricey, online shops such as eBay and Amazon offer great deals for second hand water sprinklers which will work just as one as a newer alternative version.

Remove warn out carpet

Many modern styled houses do not use carpet as their type of floor material. If your carpet is beginning to look a little bit warn out or if the carpet is older than you are, then maybe now is the time for it to be replaced. A trend that seemed to occur in 2020 was when people during lockdown removed their carpet themselves and simply painted their floorboards to give their house a fashionable yet rustic looking vibe.

Invest in a sofa bed

A sofa bed can add so much convenience into a home! It is a great way of ensuring your guest(s) have somewhere comfortable to sleep, without needing to create a guest room and having to fork out lots of money on buying a bed which will rarely get used. If you are looking for a new sofa to add to your living room, then a sofa bed really is the way forward.

Use throws and cushions to update the look of older sofas

Sometimes there isn’t a need to replace a weary looking sofa with a brand new one. You can simply purchase new throws and cushions to cover any wear and tear or imperfections. You can even go one step further and replace the fabric on the sofa with new fabric. This may take some time and patience but the results are extremely rewarding and it is always good feeling when you know you have saved money on projects where possible.
