Tip Tuesday: Fall in July?
Embrace Early Autumn Vibes (The Smart Way!)
It might be the middle of summer, with temperatures soaring and flip-flops firmly on our feet, but for retailers and the ever-eager decor enthusiasts, "fall" often starts whispering in July! You've seen the pumpkin spice latte memes, and perhaps even spotted a rogue autumn candle on an endcap. So, how can you embrace that early fall yearning without completely abandoning your summer bliss or looking like you've lost your mind in July? This Tip Tuesday, we're sharing a smart approach to getting a head start on autumn coziness.
Why "Fall in July" Makes Sense (Sort Of):
Beat The Rush! Popular fall decor, especially unique or limited-edition items, can sell out fast. Getting a jump means you snag what you love.
Enjoy the Transition! Why wait for one specific date to start enjoying the comforts of the next season??
Your "Fall In July" Action Plan:
1. The Scent Shift (Subtly!): Start introducing transitional scents. Think warm vanilla, a light amber, or even a very subtle woody scent. These are cozy without being full-on pumpkin pie.
2. Strategic Textile Swaps: Take inventory of your summer textiles. Are there any bright, summery throw pillows or lightweight blankets you know you'll pack away? Get them laundered and stored now. This frees up space for fall additions later.
3. Embrace Natural Elements: Start incorporating natural elements that hint at the coming change. Think dried floral arrangements (eucalyptus, dried hydrangeas), interesting branches or even just swapping out bright summer flowers for something with deeper green foliage.
4. Clean & Organize for Coziness: Use this time to declutter and deep clean areas that will become "cozy zones" in the fall - like your living room or bedroom. A clean, organized space is the best canvas for any seasonal decor.
By taking these small, intentional steps, you can satisfy that easy autumn yearning without rushing the precious summer days away. Happy (early) Fall planning!!
