Spring is in the air, and Lahore is preparing to welcome the new season. As the city is known for its harsh yet bitter-sweet weather for the next 6 months, the spring season is when everyone makes some changes in their home. But where should you start, what should you focus on, and what are the best things you can do for your house in Lahore to make it welcoming this spring season? There is no one better than an architect in DHA Lahore who can guide you on how to do this.
I am Haris Azmat, an architect and CEO of H-A Design Studio, Lahore’s best architectural firm. I have over 10 years of experience designing, executing, building and developing houses, commercial and residential buildings and much more. I will walk you through the 4 most important things you can do today to make your spring and summer welcoming and fun.
Declutter and Deep Clean
There is no better time to deep clean and declutter your house than the spring. The days are long, the energy is high, and the temperature is moderate. You should find the parts and elements in your house that take up more space than required.
We prefer places with closed spaces in winter, but we want to feel spacious in spring. You can do this by Changing your sofa position, shifting some heavy things to storage, and investing in innovative storage solutions such as hidden cabinets.
Time to change the curtain
Spring is all about colours. It is when you see new material and a whole line of interior designs are launched. This is the time to change the curtains and bedsheets and, if possible, new paint if they are old and chipping away. Since the temperature is moderate, any construction work is suitable. Curtains also play an important role in the overall personality of the house. Here are some of the things you should keep in mind while selecting curtains for spring:
- Keep the colours light.
- Always choose a washable material
- The curtain should have a depth of material, which means it should be heavy and not lightweight.
- Go to the market instead of choosing online; visiting the market allows you to explore more options and is cheaper.
Embrace Natural Light and Ventilation
Light is the sole of a house. A well-lit home is attractive, looks spacious and feels relaxed. So invest well in your lighting setup. Use a combination of light with yellow light as the centre. Too much white light is also not very attractive and thus must be used with caution.
Use LEDs on the warmer spectrum and always ensure the lights are placed in a way where, with the lowest use, most of the house is lit.
Another way you can enhance lighting is by using natural sunlight for most of the day during spring. However, it is one of the things that can best be achieved during the design process of your house, where you can ask your architect to use floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum light.
Focus on Outdoor Living Spaces
What is synonymous with spring? The flowers and the colours. So use your outdoors as your staging area for beautiful flowers. Use small planters to sow small seasonal flowering plants. This will enhance the overall texture and environment of your house. There are many options to choose from, such as:
- African Daisy.
- Alyssum
- Begonia
- Buttercups
- Calendula
- Canna
- Carnation
- Flowering Cabbage
Conclusion
Remember that your house is one of the most beautiful and soothing places you can ever find, requiring you to constantly change and adapt according to the season. This also makes the house more attractive, alive and comfy.
