Last Days of Summer: Let’s Make Your Home Shine for Fall! 🍂
Before the chill sets in, now’s the time to give your home the final touch for the season.
Hello from Koehn Painting!
As August winds down, it’s time to start thinking about fall season. Shorter days, cooler air, and perfect times to start the change early by giving your home the perfect end-of-summer makeover.
🍁 Exterior Painting for Fall
Why now’s the perfect time to paint
Painting your home’s exterior now will protect it through the colder months. But before you start, consider these key tips:
- Use high-quality, weather-resistant paint to handle Kansas’ dramatic temperature swings.
- Check the forecast: Aim for dry, mild days (between 50°F–85°F).
- Stick to warm, earthy colors like olive green, clay, or classic taupe.
- Consider calling a pro—Fall’s painting window is short
Fall is the perfect time to give your home that final refresh before winter sets in.
✨ So, how do you prep your home for stunning, long-lasting results?
Modern Renovations: What to Invest in Before Fall
Thinking of renovating before the colder months set in? Here are a few fall-friendly home improvement ideas to prepare your home for the cozy season while boosting its long-term value:
- Wood-infused warmth: Wood elements make your home feel warmer. Think of wooden paneling, beams, or floating shelves.
- Cozy up the indoors: Add a statement wall in a rich color, install a window nook or built-in benches for a coffee and a book, or try a new English-style kitchen.
- Smart insulation + natural light: Big windows let in all that glorious light, but pair them with energy-efficient treatments so you’re keeping the heat in when those temps drop.
