This year, the Easter long weekend and Anzac long weekend are occurring consecutively. You know what that means: it’s time to get some stuff done.
Bunnings DIY expert, Mitch McLean, says a little effort now can make a big difference heading into the cooler months.
“Whether it’s a simple declutter or a full outdoor makeover, you’ll thank yourself later for putting in a little effort now so your home can feel fresh and revamped for months or even years to come,” he said. With a little extra time on our hands this year, Mitch shares his top project ideas and products to make the most of the Easter break:
Upgrade the garden to get it prepped for the cooler months
Revamp your garden so it is prepared and ready ahead of the winter season. Start by planting new flowers and mulching existing flower beds, then dress it up by building small garden pathways with decorative pebbles.
Build or refinish a deck for outdoor entertaining
If you’re looking for a bigger task to address, why not use the Easter break to upgrade your entertainment area by creating a new outdoor oasis? And don’t forget warmth! As the weather gets cooler, consider investing in outdoor heaters to keep your guests warm in the winter.
Declutter and reorganise your home
Decluttering can be a great way to kickstart your Easter break by doing something proactive that you’ll thank yourself later for. Aim to tackle a new area of the home each day and slowly work through organising your storage spaces.
Paint the house, inside and out!
A little bit of paint can make a big difference. For those choosing to take the extended 10-day break, transform your home with a fresh coat of paint.
