SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER
BUT IS YOUR HOME READY?
The days are longer, t-shirt weather is upon us, holiday packing
is underway and the kids are back home to cause chaos. Organise
your home to save a little bit of clearing up for the foreseeable
future. Here are some helpful summer, home-living tips from
Sliderobes to encourage a simple, stress free and fun summer at
home.
GO OUTDOORS
Here in the UK we need to make the most of the good weather.
We have had a great start to summer so while it’s dry and the sun
is out, get outside and enjoy it. Get out the lawnmower and hedge
trimmers and spruce up the garden. New garden furniture and
décor is an easy way to brighten things up and make the outdoors
feel homelier. Fairy lights and colourful cushions are simple ways to
add something extra to your outdoor space. Planting some flowers
(and even veg) may be a fun way to add some colour to your garden
and letting the kids give you a hand will keep them entertained for
hours; it’s a win-win.
ANTICIPATE MORE MESS – AND BE READY TO ACT!
With the school year over, a plethora of old school work is bound
to have travelled home and is lying on the floor of your child’s
bedroom, or stuffed in their wardrobe. Get the recycling bin at the
ready for anything you don’t want to keep. Managing it now will
make it much easier and save you finding spaces to display those
works of art months down the line. Kids are constantly growing and
as much as they’ll argue, they do outgrow their toys. Why not take
the opportunity to get rid of some of their old things? Donating
them to family friends or charities means less mess for you, less
clutter, more free space in the house and more storage.

YOUR SPACE TO CHILL
We all know that a house with kids is inevitably chaotic no matter
how tidy the place is. Why not create a special place in the house
that’s just yours to chill out in? An area where you can take a good
book and a cup of tea and just have some peace and quiet for a
(short) while.
BE SUMMER READY
Although the UK weather can be unpredictable, we think it’s safe
to say that the winter coat can be put to the back of the wardrobe
for now. It’s time to pull your shorts and t-shirts out of hiding! Get
all the summer gear ready for action; beach towels, sun cream and
swimming costumes all raring to go. Day trips are made easy when
