Fall is the season that brings both beauty and warm, cozy feelings. It is when we enjoy those vibrant, autumn leaves and delicious fall smells. Whether you plan on hosting an open house or want to get into the fall spirit, here are four cost-effective ways to infuse your home with a touch of fall.
1. DIY or Thrift Store Fall Decor
Before investing in brand new decor, head over to your local thrift store and see what is available. There could be some unique pieces to decorate your home such as vintage items. If you enjoy crafting, search for an easy DIY project online for beautiful decor on a budget.
2. Fireplace or Screensaver
If the weather is colder during your open house, turn on your electric fireplace or start a fire in your wood stove to create a cozy, warm ambiance that people crave during the autumn season. If you do not have a fireplace, setting your TV to a fall-themed screensaver such as a fire crackling in the fireplace or a hill graced with fall trees will still give your home that same warm environment.
3. Subtle Natural Fall Fragrances
Everyone loves those iconic autumn spices and flavors. Bake a pie or quick bread before your open house to give your kitchen a boost of fall smells. Avoid using strong air fresheners as this could be off-putting to potential buyer.
4. Exterior Fall Decor
Don’t forget the outside fall decorations as well! Gather acorns, pinecones, and vibrant leaves from your backyard to make a cost-effective and elegant fall wreath. Place some fall mums, pumpkins, or gourds on your porch. Making your entrance an inviting space is a great way to give a good first impression.
Going the extra mile and making your home warm and inviting for your open house is the perfect way to entice potential buyers.
