Preparing Your Home and Garden for the Arrival of Sunny Days

Between the various successive lockdowns and the gloomy weather, many people are finding that their spirits tend to falter. Low morale and temporary bouts of depression are common during this period, so it is important to address them as soon as possible to avoid being swept into a negative spiral. For that, there’s nothing better than starting to prepare for the arrival of the beautiful days on the Côte d’Azur. In a few weeks, Nice will once again bask under the spring sun, so let’s start getting ready.
Decluttering and organizing
These winter months coupled with lockdowns and other curfews provide the perfect opportunity for a major decluttering of your home. It’s a great time to sort through all the items you don’t use or are broken, making room in the process. An organized and tidy home helps boost morale and promotes well-being. It also allows you to take stock of what you need to enjoy the sunny days and barbecues, for instance.
Preparing your garden and pool
Also, take this time to assess the condition of all your pool equipment and garden items. Check the condition of your round garden table and more generally your garden furniture set to see if they need cleaning, or if you need to replace them if they are no longer in good condition. Additionally, the warm weather will soon return to Nice, so remember to prune your fruit trees so they can provide a good quantity of fruit this summer. For those wishing to have a small vegetable garden, it is soon time to prepare it (weeding, checking the irrigation system, etc.).
Preparing your home
Once the curfew hour strikes, take the opportunity to focus on the inside of your home. Preparing it for the arrival of beautiful days on the Côte d’Azur will help you look forward to the summer, and your spirits will improve immediately. After the decluttering and sorting already mentioned, consider checking (and refilling if necessary) your air conditioning units. Take this chance also to plan new furniture arrangements or even new paint colors to brighten up your home. This kind of home refreshment not only lifts your spirits during the dreary winter months but also promotes well-being. Especially since teleworking is becoming more and more a part of our lives, we now spend a lot of time at home. So we might as well feel good there!
We are fortunate in Nice to have a relatively short winter, and the first rays of spring will soon come to gently brush the Promenade des Anglais. So let’s be patient and quickly turn our thoughts toward summer! Barbecues, pool, hikes, naps under trees, etc. Now that’s something to smile about!
