If the speed of the days flashing by this year, is anything to go by then infect now is probably to start thinking of at least getting some parts of the home ready.

The question is how do I start to get the home ready autumn? where do I start? and when do I start the season Switch – A – Roo?

I think the best place to start is by decluttering.

Whichever season change over it is, I always declutter. Decluttering is a great way to keep your home feeling fresh, tidy, cleaned and organised. I find by decluttering every season which is four times a year. I find that you don’t end up with – One hauding clutter or things you really don’t need. – Two find things that you thought you had lost and make great use of them.

Start by organising the closet or wardrobe. Donating any unwanted clothes to charity or selling them on. I can also see what I may need to add to my wardrobe collection. Weather it’s needing more organisation or new jumpers or coats? Either way organising early means I can wash up and freshen clothes stored away. Then use the summer sun to dry them rater than the tumble dryer (money saver and kinder to the environment.)

I love using these storage vacuum bags to store seasonal clothing. And I love these storage boxes to place seasonal accessories.

Don’t just stop at your wardrobe for decluttering. Organise kitchen cupboards too. Like your clothes any unwanted cupboard staples you don’t need donate to food banks. And switch out the picnic garden sets for pumpkins. I love these organisations system from Amazon

Clean the oven

While decluttering the kitchen, I always ring my attention to the the oven. Cleaning the oven is not a popular household chore. It is certainly a good idea to give it a deep clean from time to time. Especially this time of year when the months start to become chillier spending less time barbecuing and more at home during the colder months. There are plenty of household products that can make this process easier. Make sure you allow the grills to soak and give the insides a really good scrub.

Set the atmosphere

If there is anything that said I am autumn ready then its the smell of an autumn scent. Candles create the perfect cosy setting for a relaxing night in. There is an array of different scented and non scented varieties to choose from. Add a few dotted tea lights or go for larger pillar candles for an extra cosy feeling. My favourite scents have to be from Jo Malone.[ad]

Add cushions and throws

This is probably a fairly obvious one. There is nothing better than curling up under a throw when the weather is starting to get chillier and frightful outside. Adding new cushions, trows and even chunky knits to your sofa and bed. Can really transform the space. I tend to have a stash of seasonal cushion covers that I like to switch around for the different seasons. But you can always treat your chairs or sofas to something new. Choose autumnal – themed colours to off set the drabness outside.

The garden.

Plants, trees, flowers and shrubs are a great place to start wen getting the house ready. I always spend a little time going around and dead heading anything tat needs pruning. A lot of the garden won’t need clearing until autumn really kicks in. However, I remove anything that needs to be removed and keep the lawn in check. I also make a note when things perhaps need their autumn feeding. And I always ensure I keep the lawn kept cut. Especially the last one, to keep the lawn looking trimmed through the autumn months.
