Our tips for planning your post-lockdown home improvements

As Covid-19 renders most homeowners unable to leave their properties, it’s the perfect time to take note of improvements that can be made around the home. There may be items that have been on the to-do list to take care of for years, from small projects, like painting a bathroom, to larger projects like replacing those old draughty windows. The experts at Halstead Glass have collected some of their top tips for planning your post-lockdown home improvements.

Do your home improvement research

Declutter your home

Every household experiences a build-up of items over the years. Use this available time to clear space in your home, especially in areas that you are looking to improve. This will make it easier for the fitters to get to and save you a job further down the line, but it could also add value to your home. Experts say that the main comments received from prospective buyers are around a home’s clean lines and open spaces, so decluttering removes any distractions. Have little ones that are home from school? Make a game out of it! Write down the names of a few “secret items” and then give them a box to fill. Whoever guesses the most items, gets a prize at the end!
