The Summer Refresh: Spend Wisely

Outdoor & indoor furniture, mattresses, grills, fire pits, heaters, lighting, you name it - the sky’s the limit when it comes to summer fun! If you're planning to purchase some items to prep for a great season of entertaining, shop smart and save with Mulberry. Download the Mulberry extension and protect your purchases for years to come.

But you don't necessarily have to spend a lot to refresh your home. Here are a few ways you can spend wisely and still make a big impact:

  1. Tired of looking at your worn and weathered patio furniture but don’t have it in the budget to replace it all this year? Sometimes simply updating your seating and sun-faded patio umbrella will do the trick, while you just put another coat of stain on that wood table to get it through the season.
  2. Embarrassed by your greasy & rusted grill from fifteen years ago? Time to invest in an upgrade. But before you purchase an expensive new grill, you’ll want to be prepared to protect your investment. Start by downloading the Mulberry extension and you’ll be able to get affordable product protection plans for your grill and its major accessories. Note to self: you’ll also want to purchase a grill cover and cleaning supplies to keep it looking like new.
  3. Add some color to your deck, porch and patio with pots and planters. Look for materials that weather well like fiberglass, metal or resin. They’ll withstand the heat and cold equally well so your potted perennials will look just as appealing next year. 
  4. Establish a cozy sitting area by adding an outdoor rug. It will help to create a dedicated living area to make your outdoor space inviting and put together. You’ll find great selections at stores like IKEA.
  5. Create ambiance (and warmth for the cooler evenings) with a patio heater or eye-catching fire pit. Big-box retailers like Lowe’s are likely to have the broadest selection of patio heaters and fire pits to fit your style and budget. Add some outdoor lighting to brighten up your house and yard. Whether that’s spotlights for blossoming trees, path lighting to illuminate walkways or lanterns and string lights to create a warm glow, you have so many options to make your house shine. With over 5,000 choices, you're almost sure to find an outdoor solution at a lighting specialist like LampsPlus.
  6. Rearrange! You may not need to purchase anything to create a refresh. Just by shifting some furniture, tables and accessories you can create a new look - and maybe even a more effective use of space. Take inspiration for your new patio setup from sites like Pinterest, and don’t be afraid to try something new!

Don't forget: you can make your purchases last, with anywhere from 1-10 years of accident protection offered by Mulberry.
