How to Transition Your Home from Winter to Spring

Just like the temperature changes according to the time of the year, our ways of interacting with the landscape and others also change considerably with the shift in climate. People are more social while out on the street on a warm summer day than on a cold winter day. This wonderful process doesn’t limit itself to landscape and friendliness; it affects in varying degrees many elements and objects in someone’s life. Having a place of your own and being able to make changes to it, so it gets more comfortable to live according to the characteristics of each season, is one of the most exciting endeavors a person can have.

Think about spaces that are important in your home, places where you spend most of the time. A bathroom, for example, whether you enjoy taking long bubble baths, give concerts in the shower, or take your time while scrolling through social media on the toilet, is without a shadow of a doubt a great place to start a remodel.
