Embrace Autumn With An Organised and Stylish Home

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures begin to drop, it’s time to prepare your home for the colder months.

Not exclusively reserved for spring, autumn is the perfect time to tackle those decluttering projects you’ve been putting off. Plus, if you’re thinking about moving home at some point, there’s no time like the present to begin the downsizing process, have a refresh or simply clear space for a clear mind. Here’s some top tips to get you started:  

Take a room-by-room approach:

Focus on one area of your home to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Begin with spaces that have accumulated the most clutter, like the hallway or living room, before moving on to other rooms. 

Clear out the closet:

Assess your wardrobe and remove any summer clothing you haven’t worn or won’t need. This is also a good time to make space for winter wear. 

Review seasonal items:

Go through your summer gear and decide what to keep for next year. Consider donating or selling items you didn’t use, and check for anything that needs repair or replacement. 

Sort into categories:

Create categories such as ‘Keep,’ ‘Donate,’ ‘Sell,’ and ‘Discard.’ This will streamline the decision-making process and help you stay organised. 

Deep clean:

A thorough clean can refresh your space. Pay attention to windows, carpets, and upholstery, which may need extra care after a season of heavy use. 

Prep for winter:

Check your heating system, replace filters, clean out gutters and check for drafts to keep your home warm and energy-efficient.
