Home and Garden: What to Do During May Holidays?

Our quick guide will help you spend these 1.5 weeks productively. Click on the links to read articles with tips. And don't forget to rest, of course :)

Clean and Wash Windows

We agree that starting the weekend with cleaning is unfair, but it's better to do it right away and not think about it. Moreover, experts recommend cleaning more frequently during quarantine than usual.

We have a 3-week plan that will help you tidy up your apartment and keep it neat all the time. If you don't like washing windows, our guide will help you do it quickly and without streaks.

Declutter the Balcony

To start, just move all items that are on the balcony into the room. A damp clean is also needed here. It's not hard — we have a convenient guide with answers to all questions.

Then sort everything and keep only what's necessary. You'll need compact storage solutions for these items. The main balcony area can be used as a lounge zone. You can read more about it here.

Organize Your Wardrobe

This may take a whole day, but the result is worth it. Take all your clothes out of the closet and sort by category to know what you can get rid of. We explained in detail how to do it.

Move everything unnecessary up — you won't need your warm winter clothes in this season. Also, don’t forget to label all bags and boxes.

Update Old Furniture

Nearly everyone has old furniture and decor items that are long overdue for disposal. But we suggest reusing them. We have a full guide with useful DIY classes. You can update anything with their help.

For IKEA items, we have a special inspiring collection: they can be repainted, fittings replaced, or completely redesigned.

Rest and Distract Yourself

Sort Waste

The longer we stay at home, the more waste we produce. Imagine how these few months will affect the environment. If you haven’t started sorting waste yet, now is the time. You can read how to do it right here.

Prepare the Country House for Summer

The best idea is to go to the countryside for holidays to get out more and breathe fresh air. You can also prepare your plot and house for the summer season. We’ve created a checklist so you won’t forget anything.

Instead of regular garden beds, you can design a decorative garden this year — it’s easier to maintain. You can find ideas for decorating your country house here.
