Look around your home, do you have things you can only use during certain times of the year? For one thing, you probably have some kind of activity that you do in the garden. For example, a trampoline is great fun for the kids but you’re not going to be jumping on it during the winter. You might have a greenhouse where you grow your vegetable during the summer so you can make some great food for the family. Again, during the winter the crops you have sown will die so there’s not use for that for at least 6 months. What about a swimming pool or jacuzzi? Well, there you go again, the same issues turn up again. Wouldn’t it be better if you had practical things around your home that you could enjoy at all times during the year? You no longer have to wait for seasons to change and you don’t have to be careful when using certain things. Here are some versatile solutions to living in a better home.

Rubber comes to the rescue

Rubber chippings can be used to create a surface. This surface can be fitted or laid down in your garden. Modern playgrounds are made of the exact same stuff. If you have children that would like to play more during certain times of the year, having this kind of patch in your garden allows them to play safely. Because it’s rubber, it also traps in heat and thus ice is less likely to form on the top layer. It’s not even slippery despite it raining outside because the rubber absorbs the water and it’s coarse at a microscopic level. Practical and fun, your kids can play during the winter or summer and at any time in between.

Is it powerful enough?

Can you choose what temperature your home is during any time of the year really? Older ac units take their sweet time belching hot air into the home during the winter, and then take their sweet time getting rid of hot muggy air during the summer. Consider a more versatile unit with an ac replacement that a specialist company can do for you. If air conditioning is all they know, they will have much more versatile and practical units that you can fit for your home. They also have an emergency number you can use at any time during the day or night if a problem occurs. For many, they just get on with having an older unit because they think it will cost too much to replace it. However, you can have a better more powerful unit for a lot less cheaper than you think.

Dancing in the night

Gardens get closed off in our minds when it rains or when it’s cold. We see them as places that we only have worth for, when the sun is shining. That’s a lot of space you aren’t using so consider putting in a fire pit in your home. From this central location, you have heat radiating in all directions. This gives you a chance to sit outside more often during the colder months and not be cold in the slightest.

Creating a versatile home takes a lot of thought because you are making each area usable all throughout the year. It’s easy to get the hang off once you start to think outside the box and gain more knowledge of how many practical options you have.
