As summer fades away and we move into fall, a change in décor is on the radar for many homeowners. “During the summer months, people tend to focus on their outdoor living areas. As the weather becomes chilly, people start to move indoors and often want to create a vibe more conducive to the colder weather and the upcoming holiday season(s)” says Fran. “Most people do a big spring clean and freshen up their homes to reflect the bright, happy vibe of the spring and summer season. At Arthur Cash & Carry, we love to assist our clients in doing the same as we move into fall. Creating a warm, cozy atmosphere can make your home more welcoming, and make the long, dreary months more bearable”.
Here are some expert fall/holiday staging tips to make your home look and smell wonderful.
OUT WITH THE OLD…IN WITH THE NEW:
Declutter EVERYWHERE! Putting away or donating items you do not use is a great place to start. As a rule of thumb, if you have not used it, looked at it, or opened it in six months, you probably never will!
START WITH A CLEAN SLATE:
A post-summer deep clean is a must! This is the time to clean your baseboards, wash down your walls, clean the carpets and grout, dust light fixtures and clean your windows. Your home will look like new, and you’ll be ready to decorate!
COZY UP:
This is the time of year when friends and family love to gather. Add some scented candles in pumpkin spice or baked goods scents that smell like “home”. Decorate your fireplace mantle with fall décor items, adding a mirror to capture the glowing light and reflect it throughout the room. Create a warm and cozy space where everyone will want to stay and enjoy each other’s company.
PILLOW TALK:
Throw pillows are one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to decorate. They can elevate your décor style to the next level and can change the look of a room. Rotate your theme throughout the year and don’t be afraid to mix and match colours and textures!
HAVE FUN & BE CREATIVE:
Don’t be afraid to get into the spirit of the season. A selection of fall leaves on your table, some fall scented candles and of course a pumpkin or two can make your Thanksgiving gathering extra special. A beautiful tree with a complimentary colour palette to the room it occupies, garlands, mini lights, and a few seasonal pieces can set the style for your holiday entertainment calendar. Combine pieces with sentimental value with new modern décor for an eclectic look, or update your holiday decorations to match your room. Have fun with it and make it your own!
Arthur Cash and Carry has a large selection of seasonal and holiday décor items to choose from. They are constantly rotating stock and bringing in new and unique items. Fran and her team of experts are happy to offer complimentary design and décor consultations to their customers, and they would love the opportunity to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you on your next visit.
