The Fall provides the perfect opportunity for a home reset. It is a season of transition, where both nature and our homes begin to move from the brightness of summer to the warmth and comfort of the colder months. With the kids back at school and the house a little quieter, you have the perfect opportunity to take a deliberate pause and reorganize, refresh, and restore balance in your home environment. Below at Lifton Home Elevators, we outline a simple step-by-step home reset plan, including reorganizing, restyling and adding seasonal texture.
1. Enhance Accessibility
Addressing both functionality and long-term wellbeing, the Lifton Home Elevator is the ultimate home reset. In a single upgrade, you can transform the way you travel around your home improving safety, convenience, and your lifestyle. A Lifton Home Elevator, designed to seamlessly fit around your interiors, can enhance your day-to-day living, and is especially useful ahead of the holiday season when you welcome guests from all generations into your home.
2. Cozy Zones
A cozy zone is a space where you can unwind, read, enjoy a hot drink, or enjoy some peaceful time, away from distractions. Set the scene with plush throws, cushions and rugs which add warmth underfoot or on a seating area. The goal is to create warm, comforting spaces where you can retreat to, during the colder, darker season. Look beyond your central seating area to establish cozy zones. Think of reading zone in a window seat or hideaway nook under the stairs. Spaces near natural light such as windows or a heat source such as a radiator or fireplace add extra snuggle-factor!
3. Texture
Often overlooked, richer textures and vintage pieces can be underutilized, but can ultimately aid in providing your home with the perfect autumnal atmosphere. These additions not only make your home feel more inviting and in tune with the season, but re-positioning and re-purposing items you already own makes your home feel personalized and intimate. So, when you find yourself sorting through old décor, rather than removing it altogether, consider if there’s a different place in your home it could go.
4. Entertaining Spaces
Entertaining in the winter months is a whole different ball game to the outdoor gatherings enjoyed in the summer. Open up the flow around furniture and ensure seating areas are comfortable and conversational. Remove clutter from surfaces. Consider flexible seating which can be moved out then stored away efficiently. Deep clean your high traffic areas by vacuuming, dusting and wiping surfacing in the living, dining, and entry areas.
5. The Colors of Fall
The shift into Fall also means a movement towards a new color strategy, and you’ll consider more earthy, warm tones such as deep greens and burnt oranges. Fall brings with it the chance to indulge your décor in rich colors such as forest velvet cushions, burnt orange cashmere throws, and warm taupe as your neutral base color for an inviting, feature rug that feels sumptuous underfoot. Using one base color and a couple of accent colors to kick start some autumnal luxury creates a reset that prioritizes comfort, sensory pleasure and visual harmony all at once.
