Here’s five easy ways to boost any backyard to please buyers, while simultaneously transitioning it from summer to fall.
From Summer Blues to Harvest Hues

Draping machine-washable throw blankets over outdoor seating works as an invitation to curl up. And exchanging bold-colored summer pillows for durable outdoor pillows in shades like burgundy and burnt-orange, as well as classic plaids, fosters a cabin-like feeling.

Additionally, having a pair of binoculars sitting decoratively on a table or hanging on a hook encourages star-gazing on a crisp autumn night. These playful touches give the backyard character and show it’s a gathering place.
