Get Autumn ready with my 5 simple tips

How do I prepare my home for the colder autumn months?

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, it’s time to tuck our homes in for the winter. This seasonal guide serves every cosy home looking for comfort and efficiency. Use my expert steps to return from those beautiful autumn walks to a warm, inviting professional sanctuary!

1. Prepare Your Entrance

Autumn is the perfect time to spruce up your front door with a seasonal wreath. To stop the outside coming in, add a heavy-duty indoor door mat to trap mud. Use woven baskets for boots and scarves to keep the hallway clutter-free.

Cosy Ambience

Switch your light summer cushions for rich velvets and bring out the thick throws! Use autumn scented candles or a diffuser with cinnamon or orange oil.

Heating Efficiency

Don't wait for a cold snap! Bleed your radiators with a radiator key and install reflector foil to keep the heat in your professional sanctuary rooms.

SAVING TIP:

Use vacuum storage bags to pack summer clothes away and free up space! For a tidy pantry, decant grains into glass storage jars.

2. Seasonal Deep Cleaning

Before you shut the windows for the season, give them a final shine with a window vacuum. It’s also the perfect time to wash your curtains and deep-clean the carpets. If you’re worried about damp, running a dehumidifier will help keep the air fresh professionally.

Wardrobe Refresh

As you swap your clothes, wipe down inside your armoires with a microfibre cloth. Pop in some lavender sachets to keep everything smelling fresh.

Kitchen Reset

Give your oven a deep clean before the festive roasting begins! Use a cleaning caddy to keep all your supplies together in your professional sanctuary loop.
