Along with the scent of pumpkin latte that rings in the fall season is the showcase of your fall outdoor space design.
What can you do to transform your home outdoors from summer living to fall in full effect, sans the heat and humidity? Here are some great tips of what to do:
Give your lawn and landscape a little TLC. Clean up and cut back any overgrown summer plants and dried-up blooms, remove debris in garden beds, and add a fresh layer of mulch. It’s also a good time to aerate and reseed your grass.
Consider adding a fire pit. There is nothing that makes a fall statement more than cozying up to a fire pit in the backyard while entertaining friends. Have a bushel basket filled with warm blankets nearby.
Swap out cushions. Store your summer fabrics away and swap them for more fall seasonal cushions and pillows. Think burnt orange, rich red, neutral browns, even plaid patterns.
Add outdoor lighting. Take advantage of the mild fall temperatures around here by enhancing the outdoor ambiance at night with outdoor lighting or candle lanterns on the deck or patio. String lights or pathway lighting make your outdoor living space both welcoming and functionable into the evening hours.
Plant for fall. Incorporate fall-friendly plants into your landscaping and planters that will carry over into the cooler months. Consider hardy flowers like mums, asters, and pansies for a pop of color. You may also want to plant evergreens to provide visual interest and year-round structure and plant early spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, ahead of the warmer weather blooms.
Go seasonal. Incorporate autumnal decorations to fully embrace the season, such as pumpkins, gourds and festive wreaths.
Maintain your hardscaping. Fix, maintain, or upgrade your outdoor structural elements, such as patios, walkways, or retaining walls, for any signs of wear or damage to prevent serious problems that arise during the winter months.
Plan ahead. Consider long-term upgrades and improvements for your outdoor living space, such as patio extensions, seating areas, an outdoor kitchen, and more.
