If you live in Central Florida, you know September is that magical in-between month—when summer’s golden sunshine is still shining bright, but pumpkin spice everything starts creeping into our kitchens, coffee cups, and even front porches. 🍂☀️ It’s a time of transition, and the perfect opportunity to give your home some love while embracing the cozy vibes of fall.
At Wemert Group Realty, we know your home isn’t just where you live—it’s where life happens. Whether you’re new to Orlando, have called Central Florida home for years, or are thinking of making a move here soon, these easy and fun home tips will help you welcome the season in style.
1. Refresh Your Outdoor Spaces
Florida may not have traditional “fall leaves,” but we do get cooler evenings and breezier days in September. Switch out summer décor (think flamingos and beach towels) for fall-inspired touches like lanterns, string lights, and cozy outdoor pillows. Add a pumpkin or two on the porch for instant seasonal charm!
2. Keep Cool While Prepping for Cooler Weather
Your AC worked hard all summer. September is a great time to replace filters and schedule a maintenance check so your system keeps running smoothly. At the same time, grab a throw blanket for your couch—you’ll be surprised how quickly those early mornings start to feel crisp.
3. Bring Pumpkin Spice Inside
Nothing says “fall” like the smell of cinnamon, pumpkin, and warm vanilla. Swap out candles, soaps, or essential oils to create a cozy vibe. Bonus tip: simmer a pot of water with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and cloves for a natural (and affordable!) way to make your whole home smell like fall.
4. Prep for Storm Season
September is still hurricane season in Florida. Check your emergency kits, flashlights, and batteries, and make sure your gutters are clear. A little preparation goes a long way to keeping your home safe and stress-free.
5. Add a Touch of Festive Flair
Wreaths aren’t just for the holidays! A fall-themed wreath on your door instantly sets the tone. Inside, switch out throw pillows or add a plaid blanket to your living room. These small touches bring a festive spirit without needing a full home makeover.
6. Celebrate Local September Fun
Central Florida comes alive in September with college football games, outdoor festivals, and the start of theme park Halloween events. Create a little game-day corner in your living room with snacks, team décor, and comfy seating—it’s a fun way to host family and friends all season long.
7. Start Your Fall Declutter
Think of September as a “mini spring-cleaning.” Donate summer clothes you didn’t wear, organize your pantry before holiday cooking begins, and clear out garage clutter before cooler weather invites more outdoor activities.
