​How to Get Your Outdoor Living Space Ready for Fall

This week we got a glimpse at cool fall mornings and evenings. This weather has been the perfect time to enjoy outdoor living spaces. But is your space ready for fall? Here are some tips to make your outdoor living spaces feel a little cozier for this season. 
 
Fall Foliage
Update your foliage to match the season. While most have some perennials planted in the ground in their outdoor spaces, it is a great idea to have some container plants as well. Annuals can be planted in decorative pots around your outdoor living space. This allows you to change up the foliage every season!
 
Clean
While spring-cleaning is great, fall cleaning is a good idea, too. Clean or pressure wash any decks or patios to get them fresh. The weather is a perfect temperature to be outdoors cleaning up this area. 
 
Add a Fire Pit
If you don’t have a fire pit, you should really look into getting one. Whether you choose a wood-burning or a gas fire pit, it’s a great decision. Fire pits allow you to get an extended use out of your outdoor space. No matter how cool it is outside, added heat will have everyone circling around the fire for a great night of entertaining or family time. 
 
Protect Outdoor Furniture
Make sure that your outdoor furniture is protected from weather damage. While this is important any season, it is especially important in the fall when the leaves are falling. If wet leaves land on your patio furniture, it could leave a hard to clean stain. Furniture covers are useful to protect. 
 
Change it up
Switch up the throw pillows, change out the chair cushions, anything to change up your outdoor area. Have blankets available for your family and guests to use on chilly evenings. Add string lights to change up the look of the outdoor lighting. Anything to make your space feel fresh for this fall season!
