We are well underway into the heart of the fall season. Halloween has just passed, but before we go full into Christmas and winter décor, let’s take the time to give our home that true fall feeling. Here’s a list of some of our favorite small ways to enjoy autumn at home for the next few weeks.
Give those decorative pumpkins new life. If you have any decorative
pumpkins leftover from Halloween, you can still repurpose them into a fall and
Thanksgiving-themed spread. And, it’s also one of the cheapest times of year to
stock up. Grab some mini pumpkins and gourds to add to any table setting,
foyer, bathroom – or any space in your home that could use a small pop of
color.
Smell like the season. Scented candles of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, apple cider and more – there are so many distinct smells that will have you transported into Novembers from years past. Whether you incorporate cinnamon sticks or brooms somewhere, go the candle route or just throw some cider on the stove, it’s easy to create ambiance with scent to add to the cozy feel.
Warm blankets and throws. Now that the colder weather is here, does anything really sound better than cozying up under a warm blanket in front of a fire? Break out the winter blankets or head to an overstock home store, such as HomeGoods or Marshalls, to get an abundance of warm fuzzy blankets on every couch and chair.
Get seasonal in the kitchen. From soups, squashes and turkey-based meals, to delicious desserts made from pumpkins and berries – it’s the perfect time to bring your autumn-inspired imagination into the kitchen and out onto the dining room table. Whether you’re baking cookies to handout to neighbors and friends, mastering a butternut squash soup recipe, meal prepping with seasonal vegetables or planning out your next feast, delicious food is definitely one of the reasons for the seasons.
Bring the outdoors in. There are several flowers and plants to keep around the house which will embrace and complement your fall and cozy décor. The Amaryllis is a flower that thrives in the cold weather and with its strong colors of red, pink, white and sometimes green, it’ll bring you through November and continue to deliver in December. Other beautiful staples include Chrysanthemums in shades of yellow, red and orange, Orchids, Christmas Cactus and Eucalyptus. Or get crafting on a pumpkin succulent arrangement for the ultimate centerpiece that’s also now trending.
Don’t forget the front door. To create a home
experience that feels festive from the moment you or your guests arrive, don’t
forget about the front door. Purchase a front door mat with a cute saying or
fall design. Then, either create your very own wreath, find one made of silk
plants or one from a local florist to add some seriously seasonal curb appeal.
November 15th is America Recycles Day, a part of the Keep America Beautiful program. All over the country, people are encouraged to host events and educate those around them on the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Since it’s easy to sort things in the recycling bin for plastics and papers, this blog is your guide to the “reducing” and “reusing” portion of the three R’s. In addition to reducing your environmental impact, recycling is a great way to reduce your spending too.
Reduce, Reuse, Reconsider
If part of your grocery shopping involves buying single-use plastics like plastic water bottles, consider picking up a refillable bottle. In addition to saving you money, these reusable bottles vastly reduce the amount of plastic you’re consuming. Every year, over 50 billion plastic water bottles are used in the US alone, costing consumers as much as 17 million barrels of crude oil. If you get a wide-mouthed bottle, slice fresh fruit like kiwis and strawberries and put them in your water overnight to give your drinks a fruity taste that will keep things fresh.
When you show up to the grocery store, make sure you’ve got your own reusable bags with you. In addition to reducing the amount of plastic you’re consuming, you’ll also be keeping your groceries safer. Cloth totes are much sturdier and less likely to rip under pressure than plastic or paper shopping bags, which means your fruit will make it to that drawer in your fridge unbruised and not having touched the grocery store parking lot. In addition to reducing the amount of plastic used, many grocery stores will offer discounts for bringing your own bags for your groceries.
Your Trash is Treasure
While it may be nice to have a dedicated spot to grow herbs and vegetables in your backyard, you don’t need a greenhouse to make a green home. Lennar homes come standard with a number of environmentally friendly add-ons, like water-conservative commodes, LED lighting, a number of other home features, thanks to an Everything’s Included® approach to homebuilding.
If you’re interested in growing your own food, get a start on your soil with a home compost garden. Composting creates a nutrient-rich environment for your plants to grow in, and reduces as much as 30% of household waste. In addition to this, the crops that come from your compost will be better for you, free of the harmful chemicals that can be found in commercial fertilizers. Here’s a guide to get started on your backyard composting.
By making it a point to be mindful of what you’re purchasing and how you discard your waste, you can vastly reduce your carbon footprint and make a dent in your family’s expenses as well. Making simple switches like reusing a water bottle and having reusable bags may seem small, but every little bit adds up, and if everybody does their part, it will be easy to see the difference.
