Elevate Your Property’s Appeal with Autumn Trends!


Autumn is a common time to put a property on the market, but cooler, wetter weather and shorter days can make it more difficult to showcase a property’s appeal. Luckily, there are many quick, low-cost ways to make a property shine in the autumn season.

Create a cosy vibe

Make your house look inviting by staging your rooms with cosy textiles like plush cushions and fluffy throws. Combine fabrics and textures to add to the cosiness – we like chunky knits, teddy fleece, tartan, and velvet.

Lighting is also important, especially if potential buyers are viewing your property in the evening. If you have the budget to do so, place floor and table lamps strategically to highlight key features; and choose warm-toned lightbulbs for an inviting ambience.

Warm colours

Embrace the season by selecting warm, earthy colours for your décor. Use this opportunity to refresh your paintwork, as freshly painted homes leave a lasting impression. Always consider décor choices from a potential buyer’s perspective, prioritising universal appeal over personal taste.

The power of fragrance

Creating an inviting atmosphere isn’t all about the visuals – smell matters, too! Having a nice aroma wafting around can make your home extra appealing. Light a few scented candles in a seasonal scent (everyone loves pumpkin spice!) or try a “simmer pot” – get a pot of water simmering on the hob and then add aromatics like citrus, cinnamon sticks, star anise, or cloves. Get creative and try a few combinations.

Seasonal decorations

While you don’t want your home to resemble a theme park, seasonal decorations can help potential buyers envision what it would be like to live there. Hang a harvest wreath on your front door or place some Halloween pumpkins around. If you have a fireplace, ensure it’s clean and tidy, and consider lighting the fire before viewings to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Don’t forget about kerb appeal

Don’t neglect the exterior of your home. Regularly sweep away autumn leaves, trim back any plants that have finished growing, and consider adding colourful seasonal blooms like chrysanthemums, particularly in front gardens. If Halloween is approaching, showcase your pumpkin carving skills by placing some jack-o’-lanterns on the doorstep for a fun seasonal touch – just remember not to leave them out too long to avoid them going soggy!
