Fall is upon us, but the temperature around our Dallas apartments may still feel like summer. When the outdoor temperatures don’t feel like fall, bring a little bit of the season indoors through welcoming fall scents. These ideas are simple, but effective at adding the scents of the season to your home.
COOK UP SOME FALL FLAVOR
Your stove and oven can be a great source of fall flavor. Bake pumpkin or apple-flavored treats to bring the scent of fall into your apartment. If you don’t have the time or desire to bake, set a pot on the stove filled with water, fruit and whole spices, such as star anise, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks or vanilla extract. Bring it to a boil, then simmer it on low throughout the day, topping off the water as needed.
ADD NATURAL POTPOURRI
Fall brings many opportunities to add natural potpourri to your home. Consider a buddle of dried autumn flowers combined with rosemary, star anise and eucalyptus. Whether you hang this from the wall or put it in a vase, the smells will waft through your apartment pleasingly. You can also add your own potpourri to a small fabric pouch to create a fragrance sachet you can place strategically in your apartment.
LIGHT A CANDLE
Light a candle to bring even more freshness to your home. Choose a candle with a fall scent for this festive season. If you prefer not to burn candles in your apartment, you can achieve the same scent with a scented wax warming system.
SPICE UP YOUR CLEANING
Consider adding some fall flair to your cleaning routine. Mix baking soda with dried herbs and spices to make a scrubbing paste that adds to the fall scents in your home. You can use essential oils mixed with vinegar to clean surfaces that require a wet cleaner.
Fall flavors make your home feel cozier throughout the fall season. An open floor plan with natural lighting can do the same thing, and that’s what you will find here at South Side Flats. If you’re in the market for a new Dallas apartment, give us a call to see which of our floor plans are currently available.
