Home, Garden & Family Ideas from Deakin-White Estate Agents
As the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisper, autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year — and also one of the best for making your house feel like home. Whether you’re planning to move soon or simply want to make the most of the season, Deakin-White Estate Agents share our favourite ideas for autumn home care, garden prep, and weekend fun with the family.
🏡 Autumn Jobs to Refresh Your Home
Autumn is the perfect season for those satisfying home projects that make your property look and feel its best — ideal if you’re preparing to sell, or just love a cosy home environment.
Declutter and deep clean
Before the festive season, take time to tidy cupboards, wardrobes, and forgotten corners. A fresh, clutter-free space always feels brighter.
Add seasonal warmth
Think soft throws, candles, and warm lighting to create a welcoming glow for darker evenings.
Service your heating
Book a boiler check and bleed your radiators before winter sets in. It’s a small step that can save you from big headaches later!
Check windows and doors
Seal any draughts and clean your windows inside and out — natural light is at a premium in autumn, so make the most of it.
🌿 Garden Tips for the Season
Your garden deserves a little TLC before it settles down for winter. A few quick jobs now will make a big difference when spring rolls back around.
Tidy fallen leaves and trim shrubs
Keeping paths clear and hedges neat helps your garden look smart and safe.
Plant bulbs for spring
Daffodils, tulips, and crocuses planted now will reward you with a colourful display early next year.
Clean outdoor furniture and store it away
Protect your furniture from frost and rain so it’s ready to enjoy again next year.
Feed your lawn
A quick autumn feed will help your grass recover from summer wear and prepare for colder months.
🍂 Family Fun at the Weekends
Autumn weekends are made for getting out and making memories together. Here are some family-friendly ideas to make the most of the season:
Go on a nature walk
Visit a local park or woodland and collect colourful leaves or conkers — perfect for crafts at home.
Visit a pumpkin patch
Great fun for kids (and adults!), and you’ll get your Halloween decorations sorted too.
Explore local markets or farm shops
Pick up fresh seasonal produce like apples, squashes, and homemade jams.
Enjoy cosy movie nights
When the weather turns, there’s nothing better than snuggling up with blankets, popcorn, and a family favourite.
Try a DIY project together
From painting a room to building a bird feeder, autumn is full of small projects that make a house a home.
