COVID-19 has kept us all couped up for far too long. Many of us are working at home, and even for those of us who go to work, there’s little else to do than sit around at home during your free time! That much time in a house is enough to drive anyone crazy. One of the things that several homeowners are doing to keep themselves from going stir crazy is renovating – whether it’s all-out remodels or simple seasonal décor changes.

Tired of bringing out the same wax pumpkins and Fall leaves for the Fall season? 2020 may be the year to change things up for your Fall décor. If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are a couple ideas on what you can try out!

New Fireplace

“A fireplace seems like a pretty big change for just one season, don’t you think?”

Well, of course. However, many modern fireplaces are showing to be preferable replacements for what most homeowners have in their house. They are usually economically friendly and have several design benefits:

Part of “seasonal décor” is about bringing in new colors. Even if you don’t entirely deck out your house, having accent colors here and there completely changes the vibe of a room. And if you’re on the fence between a large home remodel or small DIY project, replacing your fireplace may be the best way to start.

Several new fireplaces have built-in lighting or colored flame features. That can help you to add that extra color “pop” in your living room that you’ve been looking for this Fall season!

Creative Lighting

Lighting can say a ton about a house. And we’re not just talking about the light bulbs, fixtures, and chandeliers around the house – strip lighting, colored lights, and Christmas lights are all creative ways to bring a unique touch to your house. Get creative with lighting!

Obviously, it’s super easy to overdo this. You don’t want it to look like you’re eagerly awaiting Christmas before Thanksgiving hits, not do you want to bring an entire rainbow gradient on your house. But get creative with your lighting in a way that is suiting to Fall.

For Fall, Edison bulbs look really cute on porches or patios. Putting some weatherproof, warm (yellow/orange) colored string lights around the railings on your deck can liven up the area. And even hanging some larger incandescent light bulbs around the house can bring a warm Fall touch to your rooms.

Fall Design 2020

The bottom line is – do something new! Don’t just find a new wax decoration to replace the dusty pumpkins that keep coming in and out décor of bins on a yearly basis. We’ve all been couped up in our homes with COVID-19 for a bit too long, and now is a great chance to do something the home you’ve been spending so much time in.

When it comes to Fall decorations, colors are key. If you’re looking for a bigger change, get an economically friendly, modern fireplace that contains colored lights or can control the flame color! It’s a great way to bring a neat Fall color splash to your rooms.

Otherwise, keep an eye out for unique Fall lighting designs. Incandescent bulbs inside, Edison bulbs on the patio, or warm string lights on the deck are a few of many ways you can bring a warm Fall feel to your home this upcoming season!
