Today&#8217;s quick task is to look around <em><strong>your living area and make one or more quick changes<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s great to have the place feeling cosy during the colder months, it&#8217;s also pleasant to make a living space feel lighter and more airy once the warmer weather begins.<\/p>\n<p>Have a good think about ways that you can make your living space look and feel more summery. For example, you could:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash furniture throws and blankets, and put them away<\/li>\n<li>Change heavy winter curtains for lighter ones<\/li>\n<li>Take a rug outside and beat it<\/li>\n<li>Bring an electric fan out from storage<\/li>\n<li>Put some seasonal flowers in a small vase<\/li>\n<li>Change ornaments or generally declutter them<\/li>\n<li>Swap heavy or spicy home fragrance for citrus, light floral or herbal scents<\/li>\n<li>Paint a wall or two with a light or bright colour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You could also look at some interior design magazines or blogs to get a few ideas for refreshing the living area on a budget. Add a few things to your shopping list or wish list if you&#8217;re planning a bigger makeover &#8211; you can make quite an impact just by swapping out some cushion covers, a lampshade, pictures and an ornament or two.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, add some larger tasks to your to-do list, such as wallpapering the room, painting some furniture, or changing rugs. Try to complete one task before the end of the month.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s happening here<\/h2>\n<p>I will be getting a couple of electric fans out of storage, as I hear we might be getting a mini heatwave after all that hail and sleet. My other job will be to look for some new cushion covers and ornaments, and maybe a new houseplant or two &#8211; a splash of green really seems to lift a room and make it feel fresher.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What are you getting up to today?
