As summer wanes and we head into the crisp, cooler weather of fall, it’s the perfect time to give your home a touch of autumn magic. Especially if you’re listing your home for sale, now’s the time to create a Fall vibe that any potential buyer would love. Our staging professionals share some fun and easy ideas to help you bring that cozy, seasonal vibe indoors.
Let’s Talk Colors!
No need for a home make-over…just add some fall hues. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, warm yellows and rustic browns. Swap out your usual throw pillows, blankets, curtains, or even a piece of wall art for something that has an autumnal vibe. These colors will instantly give your place that comfy, fall feel. And guess what? These warm, inviting tones can make potential buyers feel right at home and, even if you’re not listing your home for sale, your family will enjoy the fall touches as the days grow shorter.
Bring A Bit Of The Outdoors In
Fall centerpieces are easy to create and so affordable! Grab a bunch of gourds, pumpkins, pinecones, and colorful leaves. Arrange them in a cool bowl or on a tray and add some candles or fairy lights for that extra cozy glow. Display your masterpiece on a dining table, coffee table, or wherever you want to make a statement. This easy project not only adds charm to your home but also gives potential buyers a taste of the warm, welcoming atmosphere they can expect.
Think Textures and Textiles
Swap out those summery fabrics for warm and fuzzy materials like flannel, wool, and faux fur. Dress up your sofa with throws and toss pillows in autumn colors. Not only will they look inviting, but they’ll also keep you snug on those chilly evenings. Our stagers know that cozy textiles can make your home feel more inviting and make buyers more likely to linger and imagine themselves living there.
Set a Fall Table
Take your dining experience up a notch with autumn-themed table settings. Grab some rustic tableware, linen napkins in fall colors, and seasonal table décor. This attention to detail can make your home feel inviting and appealing to potential buyers.
Cozy Aromas
When we close up our homes against the autumn chill, indoor odors can become more noticeable. A deep cleaning is a great place to start. A scented candle (we like cinnamon, apple, pumpkin spice, or woodsy aromas) add a subtle scent. And a bowl of pretty, autumnal potpourri adds both visual and olfactory delight. Our stagers caution home sellers to be judicious about adding too much scent as it could lead potential buyers to think you are covering up some unpleasant odors. Less is more!
Bringing autumn vibes into your home is all about embracing the season’s natural beauty and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. You don’t have to go overboard – just throw in some warm colors, cozy fabrics, and a dash of nature-inspired decor. And the best part? These tips work even when you’re staging your home for sale. By making your home feel cozy and welcoming, you can help potential buyers see it as their future dream home. Get creative, and let your home become a cozy haven for this wonderful season, whether you’re staying or selling! And if you’re thinking about selling, let us help!
