FALL INTO HOME DECOR: REDESIGNING YOUR INTERIOR FOR AUTUMN
Oh autumn! The cooler weather brings plenty of pleasantries such as ordering pumpkin spice-flavored everything, strolling through apple orchards, and enjoying the changing foliage. Still, the beautiful scenery and crisper air don’t need to be the only things to change this season.
As you migrate indoors this season, consider rolling up your sleeves and tackling those home improvement projects you may have been postponing all summer. If you’re unsure of where to start, we have a few project ideas to help you get your harvest home feeling fresh for fall.
COZY AND CONVENIENT KITCHEN UPGRADES
A chill in the air may mean fewer barbecues and more time spent around the oven. This is a great opportunity take a look inside the kitchen and evaluate what elements could use an update. Given that, it’s no wonder the kitchen tends to be one of the most popular rooms for in-home renovations. Most often, homeowners will look to replace a kitchen faucet or another kitchen plumbing fixture. Selecting a new kitchen faucet finish or kitchen faucet functionality can make all the difference in efficiency and design.
From the initial prep all the way through clean-up, the kitchen faucet is a major workhorse – and a focal point – in any kitchen. If you’re living with a dated fixture, it might be time to swap it for something new. These days, pull down faucets like the VIGO Edison Pull-Down Spray Kitchen Faucet are some of the most popular and easy to install options on the market.
Now available in a new Matte Brush Gold finish, this clean, modern design adds eye-catching appeal to any kitchen and coordinates well with other kitchen appliances, regardless of finish. Its pull-down, dual-action spray head allows for users’ choice of either an aerated flow or a powerful spray, accommodating their every need. The faucet has 30 inches of pull-down, nylon braided hose extension and a 360° swivel spout for total rotational use. Its spiral detail not only looks sleek and modern, but it also holds the hose securely into place. Practical and impressive, the VIGO Edison makes a statement in any modern kitchen.
BE WISE ABOUT THE WEATHER
Spending an exorbitant amount of money on energy bills is never fun, but the good news is that there are many ways for U.S. households to save on annual heating and cooling bills. One simple yet effective method is to seal air leaks and add insulation throughout the home.
Other initiatives include replacing worn-out calk, insulating outlets, and prepping windows with plastic cling as the winter months near. Taking all of these steps may contribute to a reduction in home electric and heating bills.
An Elevated Shower
Replacing your shower head is an easy way to take your shower from simple to spa-like in no time. Swap out your current model for one that offers an upgrade in style and function with VIGO Kingsley Shower Panel.
Thinking design from the outside in, this shower system integrates intelligent hydrotherapy through pressure-targeted body jets to address specific pain points. A stainless steel rain shower head emits an all-encompassing stream of water from the top down, while an extended-reach hand shower lets users direct the water’s flow. The model panel is outfitted in a 7-layer plated matte black finish and constructed from stainless steel to resist corrosion, tarnish, and rust. Enjoy the healthy living with the VIGO Kingsley.
GET HOT HOT HOT
Nothing feels better on a cold night than cozily snuggling up by a fire… but don’t forget to make sure your fireplace is prepped for the season. For a wood-burning fireplace, inspect the chimney for nests or cracks. Next, clean it thoroughly to remove creosote (unburned fuel) to prevent unwanted fires. For gas-burning fireplaces, check that the airways of the pilot and main burners are working properly, and the blower is clean. Finally, be sure you have working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as an operational fire extinguisher nearby. Soon you’ll be (safely) enjoying the warm glow during cold winter days.
