How to Bring Fall Into Your Home

 

Welcome fall! It’s the season of fallen leaves, pumpkins, and cozy sweaters. And with the weather changing outdoors, it’s time to bring the autumn vibes indoors. Homeowners across Long Island, we have some of the best tips and home décor suggestions to utilize this year!
 

Fall Scents

The best way to make your home match the fall season is to add some fall scents! From candles to aromatherapy, when you walk into your house and smell deep cinnamon, sweet pumpkin, cozy bonfire, or fallen leaves, you’ll never want to leave. Even cooking up some of the best comfort foods can bring a special aroma to your home that can’t be replicated.
 

Cute Decorations

Whether it’s little pumpkins sitting around the living room or multi-colored leaf wreaths on your doors, there are so many kinds of fall decorations to add to your home this year. Just make sure it all matches and that everything isn’t too cluttered!
 

Open The Window

Luckily, this is the comfortable in-between period where your AC is no longer needed, but it’s not quite time to turn on your heater. By opening your windows, you allow the gentle autumn breeze to enter your home— not to mention the sights and sounds this season brings with it.
 

Celebrate The Season

Sometimes, the key to bringing fall into your home is watching movies, listening to music, or reading all things fall-themed. Whether that’s certain Halloween movies for you or comforting tunes that you witness the leaves drop to, autumn is one of the best seasons to get creative as a homeowner!

How to Stay Organized

 


Whether it’s for work or personal reasons, staying organized is the best way to lower stress and increase production for anyone. When your space gets messy, it can feel like it’s impossible to get essential items done off your to-do list. So, we have some helpful tips for staying organized and de-stressing.

Write Things Down

In this day and age, everything is electronic. More often than not, when you need to dot something down, your go-to will either be your phone or your computer. But, did you know that most people remember important details when they write them out by hand? Write down important notes, dates, and events so that you can find the information easily.

Only Keep What You Need

One of the best ways to stay organized is to declutter and get rid of items you’ve held onto for way too long. It helps no one to hoard items that are no longer needed or serving a purpose! Your future self will thank you later.

Avoid Procrastination

The longer you put something off, the more and more the weight of the responsibility will cause you issues and stress. Getting those important items off your to-do list as soon as possible will not only lower your stress levels but help with your organization— one less thing to worry about! Planning ahead is vital, and for times like tax season, it can be a lifesaver.

Keep Everything Where It Belongs

Having a home for every type of document or item is a great way to make sure nothing gets lost. As the days wind down to Tax Day, having your receipts, tax information, and other valuable paperwork separated and ready for the season will make your life so much easier.

It's Never Too Early to Prepare for Tax Season!

 

Tax season may feel far away; however, often, homeowners will be completely caught off guard by its arrival. They think they have all the time in the world when all of a sudden— it’s like a wave of extra fees! So, we’re here to purpose that it’s never really too early to begin preparing for tax season, and here are some key points as to why this is true:
 

Organization is Key

The key to a smooth tax season is organization, and sometimes it takes a lot of preparation to ensure you’ve got all you need. In the time you have before the season hits, here are some essential items to check off your to-do list:
  • Create a filing system
  • Find the best tax filing programs that can help
  • Keep track of receipts
  • Mark important upcoming dates
  • Keep an eye out for any changes

Change is Inevitable

Many homeowners don’t realize that their property taxes are susceptible to changes every year. This is due to changes in your school district or local government budgets, revenue, total assessed value, and tax rates. So, the sooner you know of these changes, the better equipped you’ll be to enter tax season.
