As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to give your home a seasonal refresh. From brightening up interiors to preparing your garden for long evenings outdoors, a few simple steps can help you make the most of the warmer months. And while you’re sprucing things up, it’s also a smart moment to ensure your home is protected with the right insurance, like Police Mutual Home Insurance, designed with the needs of the police family in mind.
1. Let the sunshine in
Swap out heavy curtains for lighter fabrics and give your windows a thorough clean. Natural light not only lifts your mood but also makes your home feel more spacious and welcoming. It’s a small change that can make a big difference.
2. Declutter and deep clean
A clutter-free home feels cooler and more relaxing. Take time to store away winter items, donate what you no longer need, and give your home a deep clean. It’s also a good opportunity to check that your valuables are safely stored and properly covered, something Police Mutual Home Insurance can help with, offering protection tailored to your lifestyle.
3. Refresh with summer colours
Introduce light, airy tones like soft blues, whites, and pastels into your décor. Swapping out cushions, throws, and rugs can instantly give your home a fresh, summery feel without a full makeover.
4. Get your garden summer-ready
Tidy up your outdoor space by mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, and planting colourful flowers. Add some outdoor lighting or a seating area to create a relaxing retreat. If you’ve invested in new garden furniture or equipment, make sure it’s included in your home insurance policy. Police Mutual offers cover that includes outdoor items, giving you peace of mind.
5. Check cooling systems
Before the heat hits, test your fans and if you have one, air conditioning units. Clean filters and ensure everything is working efficiently. It’s also a good time to check your smoke alarms and security systems, keeping your home safe and cool all summer long.
6. Review your home insurance
Summer often means more activity at home, barbecues, guests, and time spent outdoors. It’s wise to review your home insurance to ensure you’re fully covered. Police Mutual Home Insurance offers comprehensive protection, including accidental damage, helping you enjoy the season without worry.
7. Create a summer sanctuary
Designate a space to unwind—whether it’s a shaded garden nook, a sunny reading corner, or a breezy balcony.
