You don’t need to break your self-isolating habits to shake off your unease. Instead, take a second look at your house. No matter what interior design scheme you created, it could be time for a change of pace. Read about these five simple yet productive projects to improve the comfort of your home. You can always find a new way to make your house or rental space feel like new, so you can enjoy being inside until it’s safe to resume your normal activities.
1. Reorganize Your Garage
Homeowners know the joy that comes with moving into a house with a garage, but they also understand the garage quickly becomes a dumping ground. Your lawn equipment, old family board games and even seasonal swimming toys somehow pile up in your garage and clutter this small indoor area.

Reorganizing your garage could be what you need to feel comfortable in your home again. Hang things on the walls, find new storage spaces for items that don’t belong and sort through every shelf. You’ll end up with a cleaner, emptier room you can use for extra play space or vehicle storage.
A great idea on how to organize just about everything… hooks to hang… baskets to place all kinds of tools and accessories and more! This inspiration was found on Pinterest.
2. Consider New Rugs
Rugs add texture and depth to any room, especially if you haven’t used them in your house before. They work with both hardwood and carpeted floors, so think about how rugs can improve your living space. Lay a large rug under your dining room table or couch and place smaller ones by your doors or sinks.
This simple run makes everything POP!
The Layered look adds a ton of style and charm like this space over the Pottery Barn.
You’ll notice that rugs soften the loud echoes in hardwood rooms and make your home feel cozier as soon as they roll into place.

3. Reseal Your Windows
You might be uncomfortable in your house because it gets too hot during the day. Instead of turning your HVAC unit on again, reseal your windows. Warm air from outside can slip into your home if you don’t seal your windows with caulk, so use a few minutes of your free time this weekend to check your windows. This step could make the difference between a stuffy house and one with a consistently regulated temperature.
4. Use Bamboo for Outdoor Play Areas
Whether you own a home or live in an apartment with a balcony, bamboo can create a natural fence to keep your kids safe while they’re outside. Bamboo walls have a thickness that matches 55%-95% of the bamboo pole, so they offer a sustainable and simple way to build a durable fence.
Bamboo poles can also create the feeling of being at a spa or resort, especially if this plant doesn’t naturally grow where you live. Build a bamboo fence with materials you can order online to take advantage of this natural element and give your living space a new relaxing design scheme.
5. Invest in a Smart Thermostat
Unless you’ve already upgraded, your thermostat is most likely the traditional kind with two buttons or an adjustable lever. Older models may turn the fan on and run longer because their sensors have worn down with time. Order and install a smart thermostat to save an average of 23% of your electricity bill. They’re easy to install and will make your house feel like a smart-tech hub of the future. Simple Productive Home Projects
Consider Your Home Design
What kind of layout does your living space incorporate, and what materials do you already have to work with? Consider options like building a bamboo pole wall outside, ordering rugs or caulking your windows to improve your home’s comfort without compromising your family’s health and happiness. All these little things add up to extra comfort for the whole family
