Houzz Call: What Are Your Summer-to-Fall Home Rituals?
Whether you refresh your furnishings, bring in autumn color or simply light a candle, we want to see your best photos
Labor Day is almost upon us and with it the unofficial end of the summer — and the start of fall. There are plenty of things outside the home that remind us of the shifting season: kids returning to school, leaves turning, days getting shorter. We want to know what you do inside your home (or yard) to mark the shift from summer to fall.
Whatever your summer-to-fall home routine, tell us about it! Please share in the Comments how you observe the start of the new season. We’d also love to see your sharpest, most beautiful photos.

Do you add candles to the porch? Houzz contributor Laura Gaskill suggests this simple trick to help transition a summer porch to the fall season. A grouping of candles can really bring on the cozy fall vibes; battery-operated versions rather than actual flames might be a safer choice. What do you do with your outdoor spaces to make your home ready for fall?
Is it your routine to wash the slipcovers? Summer and its boisterous fun can leave some messy marks behind. Gaskill also suggests this transitional time as a good opportunity to refresh your soft furnishings by washing slipcovers. Rugs, too, might be ready for a good clean. Which routines do you have to get your home ready to support the busy, back-to-school, holidays-are-coming season that is fall?
Do you add fall color to your decor? Bringing in a touch of autumn via accessories can help your home mark the shifting of the seasons. Do you add harvest gold, orange or wine to your decor? If so, please share your sharpest photo and tell us about your fall decor.
