Make A Fresh Fall Look For Your Home with Antiques from Across the Country

Posted by on

Fall is here, whether the temps in your area show it or not! Change is all around us, as the weather turns colder, sleeves get longer and your drink of choice is likely hotter. This season isn't just about changing leaves—it's the perfect time to refresh your home or help update the home of your parents or loved ones.

Decorating For Fall Can Benefit Your Mental Health

A recent article by the Huffington Post reviewed several studies that show how decorating for the fall can improve our well-being.

  • Fall colors, especially shades of orange and yellow, are known to evoke happiness. So, embrace the chance to feature pumpkins and other fall favorites in new tablecloths, seat cushions, and more around your home.
  • Arranging fall decorations can evoke happy memories, improving your mood and self-esteem while relieving stress. Take the time to remember who made each item, or which child or grandchild gifted them to you, as you place them around your home and feel your spirits lift.
  • Decorating for fall helps mark an important point in the year. For some, the first eight or nine months of the year may be busy and draining. Studies show that fall is an ideal time to begin to slow down. Viewing the changing season as a chance for a fresh start has tremendous mental benefits.

Shop Antiques and Treasured Belongings from Across the Country

Don’t just rely on the items you’ve accumulated through the years for your fall decor. Take this opportunity to find new items, while honoring the memories and legacy of others’ treasured antiques who are looking for a new home.

Caring Transitions of Berkshires & Hudson Valley isn’t just a senior relocation company. While our teams are experts at creating an individualized moving plan for you or your loved one, no matter where you live or where you may want to go, we also have years of experience connecting buyers and sellers across the country, ensuring treasured possessions find the perfect new home.

Our online auction platform, CTBids, allows you to bid on thousands of items in more than 20 categories. You can find everything from furniture to art, collectibles, books, clothing, jewelry, and more!

Unlike buying these items at a retail store, CTBids allows you to honor someone’s memories by giving their cherished items a new life while creating your own memories in the process.

“It has really started to intertwine the generations again,” says Carrie Coumbs, senior strategic advisor for Caring Transitions. “CTBids is a way that you can honor generations now, past, and in the future, because these memorable items that are shared on the auction platform, just bring new memories to life.

“Do you know who benefits? The senior. They were able to pass along these memories and items to people who would love them and cherish them, and the funds that are raised go towards the care they need in a very important time of life.”

Use the Fall as a Time to Declutter Your Own Home

If you feel like less could be more in your home, this change in season is also a perfect time to declutter your home and put a little extra money in your pocket.

The experts at Caring Transitions of Berkshires & Hudson Valley have years of experience assisting families with what to keep and what to discard and can help with a home cleanout and decluttering. The items taking up space in your garage or your attic will go to good use, as now you’ll be the one selling on CTBids and helping share the memories of your old belongings with a new family.

With extra space around your home, you can embrace the fall festivities and host gatherings at your house with friends and family in the weeks to come.
