Home is where the heart is and now is a wonderful time to take advantage of opportunities to do quick, easy, at-home projects that may help to create order and calm. Organisation tops the list as does creating environments that are calm and soothing.
Looking for some projects to do in your spare time? Here are some projects to help get you started.
Start in the kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the house and where people spend a large amount of time. From organising cupboards and shelves to pantries, refrigerators and drawers, organising these areas can lead to a greater sense of calm.
Create an inviting home office
If possible, place your workspace or desk next to a window. Natural light goes a long way in fostering creativity and enhancing your work mood.

Prepare for warm weather
Warm weather is in place in many parts of the country and just around the corner in others, so now is a good time to prep outdoor items such as furniture and grills.
Head into the bedrooms
Master bedrooms should be calm and soothing, while children’s bedrooms should feel fun, festive and inviting. Regardless of your desire, some of the best ways to achieve this are through the use of colour, art and texture.

Implement systems and a schedule
Tired of items or tasks always being on the back burner? Create a weekly schedule in which certain tasks are performed. For example, performing laundry duties on Monday, cleaning your home on Wednesday and planning and executing meal prep on Sunday.
Finish small repairs
Whether it is that bathroom that needs to be re-caulked or that small area that needs a bit of touch up paint, taking on small repairs will lead to a more finished home.
Organised kitchen shelves helps to make items easier to find.
Change light bulbs
Switching from lower wattage bulbs to those with higher wattage is an easy, quick and affordable fix.
Perform routine maintenance tasks
These include checking for leaks or minor damage around your home. Additionally, check major appliances and systems that power your home.

Pack and purge
Now is the perfect time to get rid of any and all excess.
Evaluate and create a game plan
Sometimes the best road to complete all of the items on your home “to do list” is to create a plan and execute in segments. – Tribune News Service
