Try These Home Tips for a Cozy Home This Season
October 03, 2024
October is upon us! This means temperatures will start to dip, and eventually, cooler temperatures will overtake us. While early fall is an enjoyable time to be outside, taking in crisp breezes and falling leaves, it will ultimately give way to the bitterness of fall and winter. Do you know the best way to keep a comfy home this autumn? It’s best to prepare now.
Fall Secrets to a Cozy Home
The school year is in full swing, and the holiday season won’t be far behind. While we can’t slow down time, we can help you prepare for the months ahead. Here are some topics and tips to consider as the seasons change.
Transition Your Home for the Season
Summer temperatures last slightly longer in the Carolinas, but we must still prepare our homes for cooler weather. As you transition from summer to fall, change your air filters, test that your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly, and calibrate your thermostat to ensure it reads the room temperature correctly.
Embrace Autumn Beauty Indoors
As the leaves change color and paint the outdoor landscape, you’ll want to enjoy viewing all the beauty you can. This is a great time to clean windows and view that beauty clearly! Lastly, if you need to freshen up your indoor air quality, we are pros at installing air purifiers.
Set the Mood for a Cozy Home
Fall is a beautiful time of year—both indoors and out. Consider some gentle mood lighting to keep your favorite indoor space feeling calm. Try hanging string lights or utilizing night lights to create an ambiance. Wax warmers or soy candles with pumpkin scents also help create a soothing space. And don’t forget to add fall-colored pillows and seasonal-themed blankets!
Prepare Your Home for Fall Weather
As the seasons change, your indoor temperatures will be affected. Remember to lock windows so air doesn’t escape. Also, seal and insulate doors and windows with weather stripping if airflow seeps into your space. Of course, a call to Brothers for that annual furnace heating system check is also essential!
Remember Fall Safety
The fall season is a time for extra lighting, space heaters, and scented candles. Safety is essential when using all three. Never use space heaters unattended or with small children around, and unplug them after every use. If you string up lights, be sure they are unplugged when you leave your house. Lastly, candles
smell great, but don’t burn them unattended, and always cut back the wicks before lighting.
