6 Home Improvement Projects You Can Do to Spend Time With Your Spouse

One of the best things about marriage is having someone to join you in a hobby or other fun activity.

One of the best things about marriage is having someone to join you in a hobby or other fun activity. In our busy lives, though, we often avoid sharing our daily experiences and shift more toward infrequent big events, like concerts or weekend getaways. Those are great, but it's also essential to spend time together on smaller things. It's a win-win when you and your spouse can work together on a home improvement project. Here are six ideas for home improvement jobs you can do together.

1- Painting a Room

Nothing upgrades the looks of a room quite like a fresh coat of paint. Even going back with the same color can reinvigorate the space by hiding a few years' worth of scuffs and scratches, but using a new color provides an even more significant boost to its looks. You and your spouse will love watching the room transform from the old look to the latest, and you'll make great memories together.

2- Installing New Flooring

Look a little further down for the next project. Today's laminate flooring is straightforward to install, making it an excellent project for you to do together, even if you have no prior experience with it. You'll enjoy watching the room transform from its worn old flooring to a beautiful new surface that will help tie together that new paint and maybe even some new furniture.

3- Heavy Cleaning

Set aside the routine dusting and vacuuming and go for the big cleaning. Move the furniture, air out the rugs, and do the kind of cleaning that doesn't just make your home smell better and look better and a healthier place for your family and friends. Schedule your cleaning date right after professional carpet cleaning or ductwork cleaning to get your home clean inside and out.

 

4- Updating Window Treatments

 

If you need a weeknight activity that won't require so much cleanup, one great option is to replace your window treatments. Valances, curtains, and blinds are often very easy to remove and replace as a project that you can do in a couple of different sessions. You and your spouse can spend one evening shopping around for the new things and another installing everything. This upgrade will really help your room pop, and you'll have the satisfaction of doing it together.

5- Planting New Landscaping

Don't neglect the outside of your home. A landscaping project will get you some fresh air and sunlight as spring arrives, making it a perfect time to work as a couple. You'll also help boost the value and curb appeal of your home.

6- Building a Patio

New construction materials make it so easy to build a patio or walkway with hand-laid stone. Just a few basic tools and some patience will get you and your spouse a beautiful upgrade to any outdoor area at your home at a fraction of the cost of concrete or wood and with the added benefit of getting to do the project together.
