Top Tips for Getting Your Home Ready for the Autumn Season
October 23rd, 2024
Cosy season is officially here! Whether you’re a new homeowner excited to settle in, or just looking to add a little seasonal touch, we’ve collated a list of hints and tips to help you transform your home into a cosy autumn retreat allowing you to welcome the season and all its warmth.
Autumnal interiors
As the chilly weather approaches, say goodbye to light summer decor and say hello to soft, warm textiles like chunky knit blankets, plush cushions, and seasonal colours such as deep oranges, rich burgundies, and earthy tones. These small changes can really transform your living space and create an inviting autumn haven.
Eccleston’s top top: Add scented candles or diffusers with fragrances like cinnamon, spiced apple, or pumpkin to bring the comforting scents of autumn into your home.
A practical and welcoming entrance
Rainy dog walks are here… and so is the mud! Keep dirt at bay by adding a durable doormat to your front door. You could also incorporate a stylish coat rack or an umbrella stand for a touch of practicality, while effortlessly elevating your hallway décor.
Get your garden autumn-ready
Don’t forget about your outdoor space! Rake up fallen leaves and debris to keep your garden looking tidy, and why not plant some seasonal flowers like pansies or chrysanthemums for a vibrant pop of autumn colour that will thrive in the cooler months?
Eccleston’s top top: Keep your garden furniture protected and covered from the rain and frost so they are in perfect condition to enjoy again next spring.
Maximise all the natural light
Natural light is more precious in these colder months, with shorter days and longer nights. Maximise the daylight in your home by cleaning your windows and mirrors to help reflect natural light around your home. You could also consider adding warm-toned lighting or fairy lights to create a soft, inviting glow inside your home during the darker evenings.
Cosy home office
If you work from home, consider transforming your workspace into a cosy and productive haven. Start by incorporating warm lighting, like desk lamps, to create a soothing ambiance. Drape a soft throw over your chair for added comfort. For a festive touch, add a few small autumn-inspired accents, such as a pumpkin paperweight or seasonal artwork.
Eccleston’s top top: Keep a thermos of your favourite autumnal drink, such as spiced tea or hot chocolate, nearby to stay warm while working.
