As summer fades and autumn arrives, many of us are ready to embrace a fresh start. While New Year's resolutions and spring cleaning often dominate conversations about self and home improvement, autumn presents an ideal time for a reset. With its gentle transition from summer’s unpredictability to cooler, cosier days, autumn encourages us to reassess our routines, optimise our living spaces, and prepare for the colder months and holiday season ahead.
It might stem from the psychological shift that comes with the end of summer. The long, carefree days, packed with holidays and outdoor activities, have passed, and with that, our focus naturally shifts back to our daily routines and responsibilities. Or perhaps it’s a habit carried from our school days—when September marked a fresh start, new goals, and the excitement of filling up those crisp, empty pages in a brand-new notebook.
Autumn is the season for renewal, providing a chance to reset, reorganise, and rethink how we want to live. While January often feels overwhelming and spring cleaning is usually a surface-level refresh, autumn offers a balanced, mindful approach to change. It’s a season of reflection, not just for your home, but for your lifestyle and habits.
September brings a return to routine, but it also gives us a moment to pause and reflect on what we want out of our day-to-day lives. Whether you want to make minor adjustments or embark on a major transformation, the autumn reset is a time to think about the spaces you inhabit and the habits you cultivate.
Earlier this year, we introduced the Home Optimisation Cycle, a process designed to help you align your living space with your needs, wants, and dreams. The five key steps—Get to Know Yourself, Home Smarter, Ask for Help, Life Happens, and Give Yourself Grace—encourage a holistic approach to home and life. Each step is grounded in the support of community and can be revisited throughout the year. But autumn is an especially powerful time to engage in this cycle, as the changing season naturally invites self-reflection and planning for the months ahead.
Autumn is an ideal time for a home reset for several reasons:
Preparing for Winter: With colder weather approaching, it’s important to ensure your home is functional and cosy. Whether it's organising your wardrobe for colder months, rearranging furniture to create a snug space, or deep cleaning areas that might be neglected, autumn is the time to create a home that serves your seasonal needs.
Decluttering for the Holidays: The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes extra guests, more meals to plan, and a need for space. Decluttering now will give you a sense of control and organisation before the busy months arrive.
Reclaiming Routine After Summer: Summer schedules tend to be unpredictable, and as we move into autumn, we can regain a sense of structure. By resetting your habits and routines, you’ll enter the final months of the year feeling more organised and grounded.
Closing Down the Garden and Organising Storage: As temperatures drop, your garden requires a little extra attention to prepare for winter. Now is the time to prune back plants, clean out flower beds, and properly store outdoor furniture, grills, and gardening tools. By preparing your garden for its winter slumber, you’ll make spring gardening easier when the warmer months return. It’s also a great opportunity to assess your storage spaces—clean out the garage or garden shed, organise tools, and label containers so everything is easy to find when needed. Tidying up these areas now ensures that your home and outdoor spaces are in good shape before the harsher weather sets in
