It’s August which means summer is starting to mellow and the days will gradually grow shorter. This transitional period is the perfect opportunity to get our homes prepared for the upcoming fall season. Check out our tips below for practical and creative ways to make the most of the late summer in your home.
Refresh Your Outdoor Space
- Late summer is the ideal time to revamp your outdoor space and extend the season of al fresco living. Spruce up your patio/deck with colorful cushions, potted plants and outdoor lighting for evening gatherings. Consider adding a fire pit for cooler nights, allowing you to enjoy evenings under the open sky.
Organize and Declutter
- Before fall arrives – take advantage of the late summer energy to declutter and organize your home. Go through closets, cabinets and storage spaces. Clearing out the clutter can make it easier to transition into fall when we are spending more time indoors.
Prepare For Cozy Evenings
- Summer days can still be warm, however the nights may bring a cooler breeze. Prepare for cozy evenings by adding light blankets and throws to your outdoor furniture – added bonus of adding warmth to your decor.
Preserve the Late Summer Aesthetic
- Capture all the beauty of the late summer by adding some home decor: dried flowers, preserved leaves and wall art. Embrace warm tones that mirror the changing outside landscape.
Fall Cleaning
- Warmer weather is the perfect time to tackle some of those tasks. Clean out your gutters, schedule a professional HVAC inspection and make sure your fireplace is in working order before you use it. This proactive approach will help ensure your home is ready for cooler months.
