Ah, it’s that time of the year! Crisp cool mornings and even cooler evenings signify that Summer has come and gone and Fall is here to stay. With the change of seasons, there’s no better time to add some warm, simple touches that will make your home cozy and inviting, to not only you and your house guests but even to potential buyers if you’re looking to sell!
So, if you’re ready to embrace the new season and welcome it into your home, then here are 6 ways to easily do so.
Add a Soft Touch
When it’s cool out there’s nothing better than curling up on the couch to something soft. Adding blankets and rugs around the house help to make your home seem more inviting, as well as helps to warm up your space.
Sherpa, sheepskin, and cotton are great materials to look for! Try and find colours that match your furniture and already set colour scheme, and add them around the house for an effortless, yet cozy aesthetic and vibe.
Brighten Up Your Home
There’s nothing more welcoming and homey than a brightly lit space! To keep your house comfortable this season try adding in some more lights around the home. But instead of aiming for strong overhead lighting, try including a few lamps or string lights that have either warm or cool tones. This will keep every room bright and inviting, without being too harsh and overwhelming.
Bring in the Candles
When the seasons change it’s the perfect time to add in some candles around the home. Not only are they a cheerful touch, but they also help to add warmth and a wonderful scent. Try adding clusters of your favourite candles around each room or utilizing large three-wick candles to provide a relaxing vibe. Trust us when we say, there’s nothing more comforting than unwinding in a home that smells great!
Prepare the Pillows
During this time of the year, it’s normal to want to spend more time indoors relaxing, lounging, and being with your loved ones. This change in activity calls for some great throw pillows! Not only are they an easy way to add a more warm, Fall touch to your space, but they also create a relaxing vibe. Perfect for movie nights, morning coffees, and catching up with friends.
Our recommendation is to find softer materials in warm tones that match your space already. It’s a simple way to change it up for Fall, without having to redo an entire room.
Change Up Your Bedding
A great way to add some coziness to the bedroom is by changing your bedsheets! While Summer may call for light linen sheets, Fall definitely requires something softer and heavier. Again, you’ll want to find something that matches your colour scheme already but includes warmer tones. As for material, you’ll want to spring for something expansive and snuggly, like cotton, flannel, or microfibre. And don’t forget to add in some extra pillows!
Swap Out Your Curtains
Summer may be all about letting the natural light in, but in the Fall and Winter, we’re more focused on keeping the heat in. Switch up your curtains from sheer linen to something a little more heavy and opaque. This will not only help to create the cozy vibe that you’re looking for, but it will also help to heat up your space. If you’re looking for something that’s on-trend, try adding in some deep velvet curtains!
These easy, quick touches may seem simple, but they will completely transform your home from Summer to Fall. This will help provide you warmth, comfort, and tranquility all throughout the season while keeping your home looking fresh and trendy, especially if it’s being shown to potential buyers. So pull out the throws, grab your favourite candles and let’s embrace the change of seasons!
