Give Your Home a Fall Makeover
S
Browse garage sales or the Fox Chapel yard sale website and buy
a shabby chic end table sanding it down to distress. Refinish it with a
warm varnish, or leave it distressed for an antiqued look.
Backyard and Patio
Don’t forget about your backyard and patio. Plant perennials,
hostas, and chrysanthemums. Replace your summer patio cushions
with neutrals or browns.
Enjoy your new fall decor
by entertaining with a
backyard cookout.
Entrance
Spruce up the front
door with a fall wreath,
mums for color and
pumpkins. Add great
curb appeal!
pring is not the only time to refresh your home! Replace your
summer wares with warm fall decor. Start the transition with a
refreshing cleaning and end with a crisp fall backyard grill-out.
Enjoy!
Refresh your home
Flip your bedroom mattresses, wash
the hardwood floors, and touch-up the
paint around entryways and rooms.
Restock your summer closets with
all your fall favorites. Also, make your
home smell the part.
Fall decorations
Warm up the decor from your kitchen
to bedroom. Bring in nature with twigand wildflower-inspired bud vases and
arrange sturdy stems, bright sunflowers
and dianthus. If you don’t have an eye
for arranging flowers, consider ordering the latest fall arrangements
from an online vendor to dress up for
the season. Play up your mantle and
create a wood pile for your fireplace.
Add a few candlesticks and books to
finish off your look.
Fall color palette
It’s time to replace summer’s vibrant
colors with fall’s warm deep color
theme. Add deep velvety ties to your
drapes and deep orange throw pillows.
Then, create a warm and attractive
gathering space with a deep-colored
throw rug and use wicker baskets to
pile your fall blankets in.
