As the days get shorter and there is a new crispiness in the air, many of us slowly transition to hibernation mode. This is a perfect time to reconnect with your space and cozy it up for fall. Here are 5 simple things you can do to revamp your space that is easy on the planet and warm up your space.
Plants

Nothing is better than bringing life into your space. At the same time, the outside world is grey and gloomy, and plants do this better than anything! Look for a local plant store, Facebook marketplace, or even a friend who may be a propagation genius. Add something low maintenance to your space and ease into a weekly watering routine.
Lighting

Now is the perfect time to swap your bulbs to LEDs if you still need to! LED bulbs last longer and are more energy efficient. You can level up by choosing ones with timers, apps, and colours. This way, you can ensure your lights aren’t on when you’re not home, add ambiance, and even add a sleep-and-wake mode to aid in the fall and winter seasons’ darkness by imitating a sunrise and sunset.
Curtains

It’s time to swap your light and sheet summer curtains for something heavier. Not only does this offer a new vibe to your space, but it’s also quite functional, adding a layer of insulation to your windows from the cold. Especially if you live in an older space, bring on the cozy!
Swap Your Bedding

Bring on the blankets, flannel and warmer bedding! With colder nights on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to swap the sheets. If you are buying new look for sustainable bedding options made from organic cotton or bamboo, which are not only cozy but also eco-friendly.
A Good Deep Clean

Welcome the new season with a clean space to enjoy! A seasonal deep clean is an excellent place to start. To make it more sustainable, consider using eco-friendly cleaning products and pack away warm weather clothes – bring out the warm sweaters and jackets.
