After the hot, lazy days of summer, we are more than ready to experience the refreshing sights, smells, and sounds of those glorious autumn days. Getting your home ready for the season is now one of the favourite things to do. Follow these home tips and make the most out of these beautiful autumn months.
We love being outdoors, so it’s essential to have little touches of nature placed strategically around the house. It carries us through when cabin fever sets in. Pine cones, colourful leaves, and autumn-scented candles create a warm and natural atmosphere.
2. Rearrange the furniture
Rearranging our furniture satisfies the urge to organise and create a positive change to the home. Try a new layout, create smaller, cosier nooks within a room to encourage conversation, or put a few pieces in storage to make a room feel larger.
3. Switch out throws & pillows
Autumn is the time for bold, bright colours and warm textures. Most people like to switch out lighter colours and summer-weight fabrics for throw blankets and pillows in hues of burgundy, gold, orange and brown. Fabrics such as suede, fleece, or flannel balance out the brighter colours and add depth to any room.
4. Spruce up the yard
Nothing says autumn like a tidy, trim garden full of colourful autumn flowers and other autumn decor. It’s a great time to fertilise the lawn and trim back any overgrown shrubs and trees. Spruce up the front walkway with mums, and perk up porches and patios with hanging baskets, wreaths, hay bales, and dried corn stalks.
Simple touches can transform your space into a cosy haven to enjoy the brisk autumn season. Of course, customise these home tips to include your favourite things about autumn.
