Spruce up Your Home for Summer

A new season brings an opportunity for a fresh shift in the vibe of your home. A little sprucing up can completely change the environment and aesthetic of a home. There are seasonal trends that you can incorporate into your home that do not require a whole renovation. A little greenery and freshening up the space with some spring cleaning can really add life to your Lake of the Ozarks home this summer! Here are some helpful tips from MHQ Mortgage Headquarters to spruce up your place for summer!

Adding Greenery

Whether fresh or faux, any sort of greenery can bring life into every corner of your home! People are trading in florals from greenery, and we are here for it. Pick some greens from your yard or out in the fields. You can really get creative with the display of your chosen greenery. Add to a vase, a basket, or even dry fresh greens to keep using for seasons to come! 

If you have pets or children that enjoy eating or playing with fresh greenery, I would opt to buy your greenery or you’ll be left with a frustrating mess. There are many home stores that offer affordable choices for greenery, adding the benefit of being more durable as well.


Change up the Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are the perfect accent to any living room. The colors, textures, and patterns can really give off a certain feel that can vary by season. For example, soft furry pillows are comforting for winter as bright and loud colors can liven up the room for summer. Mismatch and play with different combinations of throw pillows as this can be a fun way to decorate!


Spring Declutter

It is spring cleaning time! Trade the cozy accessories you had for the cold months for a more minimalist décor approach. Spend a day gathering any trinkets from your tables and shelves, or even hidden in drawers. Free up surfaces of your home and replace those off-season objects with your greenery, books, or any other fresh-summer décor vibes.



Bring in the Sunshine

Nothing says summer like opening the blinds and windows to allow sunlight in! Natural lite homes are very “in” right now. Allow natural sunlight to awaken your home and bring in the fresh summer air! 

Fresh Coat of Paint

You can change the color of your walls completely or freshen up the current wall color. Spring is the best time to do this, as the weather is ideal for opening the windows while you paint. Adding a fresh coding of paint can brighten up any room and cover up any scuff marks on the walls. This will give your home a cleaner feel without much expense. 

Decorate the Backyard

Make your outdoor area more comfortable for you and your guest for the summer. Add seating and a fire pit for those late summer nights. Bring out the grill and smoker for the summer barbeque picnics everyone has been looking forward to. String some lights for ambiance, and make sure there are speakers nearby for some background music.

Do some landscaping! Weed, plant flowers/greenery, and add some mulch or stones for a backyard refresh. The atmosphere and view can really make or break all your efforts…make sure you take the time to mow the grass and make your outdoor environment feel clean and welcoming! 


Built-In planters or Gardens

The built-in planters are trending right now for a reason! More people are staying home more than ever now and have more time for hobbies. A garden is a great way to grow your own fresh herbs and vegetables instead of buying them at the store! Built-in planters not only make for a great conversation point, but it also looks pretty in your yard!

"Sprucing" up Your Home by Refinancing 

Making adjustments and small updates to your home every season keeps you loving your space! It is amazing what some summer updates in your home can do for the atmosphere. "Spruce" up your home for summer by contacting a home lender near Lake of the Ozarks that can help you refinance your home. You can now enjoy your home freshly cleaned up for summer as well as have peace of mind that you are saving money on your home!

What You Need to Know About Home Equity Loans

Image
For today's homeowners, one of the greatest benefits of homeownership is the home equity you build up over time. The gradually expanding value of a home is a financial resource that can gain momentum over time. Building equity can be a long-term strategy for growing wealth, but it's also a great resource when you need a little extra cash for financial endeavors or any home improvements you're needing to complete. Let's take a look at what a home equity loan is and some of the benefits for qualified recipients. What is a Home Equity Loan? A home equity loan is a type of second mortgage . Your “first” mortgage is the one you used to purchase your home, but you can use additional loans to borrow against the property if you have built up enough equity.
