As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to welcome fall into our homes. This season is all about creating cozy spaces, indulging in delicious seasonal recipes, and preparing your home for the cooler months. Here’s your guide to making the most of autumn, from festive decorations to Thanksgiving meal ideas and essential home prep tips.
One of the best parts of fall is decorating with rich colors, natural elements, and cozy accents that bring warmth into your home. Here are a few easy and stylish ways to bring the season indoors:
Outdoor Decor: Greet guests with a fall-themed front porch. Add pumpkins, mums, and wreaths with autumnal colors. A few hay bales or rustic lanterns complete the look and make your home feel inviting.
Living Room Accents: Update your living room with soft throw blankets, warm-toned pillows, and textured fabrics. Drape a chunky knit blanket over the couch and add a few accent pillows in colors like burnt orange, mustard yellow, and deep reds.
Tablescape Ideas: Dress up your dining table with a fall-inspired centerpiece. Think natural elements like pinecones, mini pumpkins, dried flowers, and candles in warm hues. Add a seasonal table runner to tie everything together.
With a few simple touches, your home can feel perfectly cozy and festive all season long! Check out our Pinterest board for more autumn inspo!
As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s time to start planning the menu. Here are a few ideas to help you create a delicious spread that celebrates the flavors of the season:
Classic Stuffing with a Twist: Add a handful of dried cranberries and toasted pecans to your traditional stuffing recipe for a pop of color and flavor. Sage and rosemary bring the taste of fall, while the cranberries add a hint of sweetness.
Maple Roasted Vegetables: Elevate your veggie game with a drizzle of maple syrup. Try a mix of carrots, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts, roasted until caramelized. The maple syrup enhances the natural sweetness, while a sprinkle of sea salt and thyme adds depth.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars: For a dessert with a twist, swap out the classic pumpkin pie for pumpkin cheesecake bars. Creamy pumpkin cheesecake on a spiced graham cracker crust is an indulgent treat that’s easy to serve at family gatherings.

With fall underway, now’s the time to prepare your home for colder temperatures. Here are a few tips to keep your home cozy and running efficiently throughout the season:
Seal Doors and Windows: Drafts can let chilly air sneak in and increase heating costs. Check your doors and windows for any gaps and apply weather-stripping where needed to keep your home insulated.
Furnace and HVAC Maintenance: Before temperatures drop, schedule a check-up for your furnace or HVAC system. Changing the air filter will help it run more efficiently, saving on energy costs, and ensuring your system is ready for colder weather.
Outdoor Prep: As the weather cools, it’s also a good time to store away patio furniture, trim back any plants that need pruning, and clean out the gutters. Be sure to cover water spigots in below freezing temperatures. These small tasks prevent potential problems as we head into the colder months.
Taking care of these seasonal tasks early on will ensure that your home stays warm, energy-efficient, and ready for the chilly days ahead.
Fall is a wonderful time to make your home a warm, inviting space filled with seasonal charm and cozy comfort. With a few decorative touches, some delicious recipes, and a little home maintenance, you’re all set to enjoy everything this season has to offer!

All offers will be considered with buyers' agent compensation.
Many relocation companies charge realtors up to 40% of their initial commission, shying realtors away from these sales. Landmark Fine Homes will pay 1% of the home price back to the realtor/broker up to $3,000.
We understand building a home can take time. Landmark Fine Homes will pay half of the total commission at the time of groundbreaking and the remaining half at closing.
