5 Tips To Refresh Your Home This Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend isn’t just about BBQs and poolside hangs — it’s your perfect window to give your home a quick refresh before fall sets in. And no, we’re not talking about an all-day cleaning marathon. We’re talking about small, intentional moves that instantly flip your space from “end-of-summer” to “fall-ready and fabulous.”

If you’ve got guests rolling in, holiday prep on your mind, or you just want your space to feel more cozy, these 5 quick updates will do the trick. And because this is BluntPower, you know we’re going to keep your home smelling as good as it looks.

Before you bust out the pumpkins and flannel throws, start with a clean slate. Decluttering instantly makes a space feel bigger, fresher, and more inviting. Focus Zones: Living Room – It’s where family hangs out, guests lounge, and clutter loves to collect. Remove random summer leftovers (beach bags, pool toys, mismatched mugs) and make room for your fall vibe. Swap in BluntPower Cinnamon Apple air freshener for an instant “cozy cabin” effect.

Kitchen – Wipe down counters, toss expired pantry items, and make space for fall baking essentials. A quick spritz of Pumpkin Spice Latte in the kitchen will have it smelling like you’ve been baking all day.

Entryway – First impressions matter. A clean mat, organized shoe rack, and a discreet spray of Vanilla Cream welcomes guests with warmth before they’ve even taken off their coat.

Pro Tip: Decluttering before decorating means your fall pieces won’t get lost in visual noise — they’ll actually pop.

Now that you’ve cleared the clutter, it’s time to set the mood. Fall decorating is all about layers — layers of texture, scent, and color that signal to your senses, “We’re home.”

SWAP OUT TEXT TILES

Trade airy summer fabrics for richer, weightier textures:

• Flannel throws for the couch
  
  

• Wool or chenille pillow covers
  
  

• A soft, neutral-toned blanket for your reading nook
  
  While you’re at it, mist your fabrics with BluntPower Cashmere Vanilla — it lingers for days and makes even a brand-new pillow feel like an old friend.

Update Wall Art

Rotate out summer beach scenes for prints with earthy tones , harvest imagery, or abstract pieces in shades of burnt orange, deep green, and mustard yellow.

Pair this visual shift with scent layering — for example:

• Wall art + Cedarwood Musk = instant “mountain lodge” atmosphere.
  
  

Add Seasonal Accents

A bowl of pinecones on the coffee table, ceramic pumpkins on the mantle, a few dried floral arrangements — small details create big impact. Spritz Mulberry Spice lightly on décor (from a distance) for a subtle, room-wide aroma.

Your porch sets the tone before guests even step inside. A quick, intentional refresh makes it a true seasonal statement.

• Sweep away leaves and debris.
  
  

• Hose down surfaces with mild soap.
  
  

• Remove summer décor so fall pieces can shine.

Once your canvas is clean, it’s time to dress it up.

Mix mums, ornamental kale, and pansies for a burst of seasonal color. Pair with Hay bales and cornstalks for that warm, rustic feel.

Scent Tip: A discreet BluntPower Fresh Linen spray around the door frame gives guests a clean, welcoming aroma before they even knock.

Choose a mat with a fun fall phrase (“Hey There Pumpkin”) and a wreath of autumn leaves or mini gourds. Mist lightly with Cinnamon Roll for a “fresh-baked” illusion.

Here’s where you can get creative without breaking the bank. These small tweaks make your home feel different — instantly.

They’re classic for a reason. For fall:

• Apple Cinnamon – smells like pie cooling on the counter.
  
  

• Pumpkin Spice – pure autumn nostalgia.
  
  

• Vanilla Cream – smooth and cozy.

Place them in your living room, kitchen, or even bathroom for surprise scent moments.

Layer a small patterned rug over a larger neutral one to add warmth and texture. Bonus: it feels amazing underfoot when the weather turns crisp.

Spritz the area with Sandalwood Vanilla for a grounding, earthy scent that ties the look together.

Switch to warm-toned bulbs and add string lights or lanterns for soft, golden glow. Pair the lighting upgrade with Amber Romance spray to create a complete mood shift.

If you think you have plenty of time before the holidays hit — trust us, you don’t. Start now and you’ll thank yourself later.

Pull out your Thanksgiving, Halloween, and early winter décor. Toss anything broken, donate what you don’t love, and make a list of what’s missing.

Make your own fall wreath, paint pumpkins, or craft a holiday table runner. Spray your finished projects with Cranberry Apple for a scent-and-style win.

Grab your décor before it sells out:

1. Stock up on mini pumpkins and faux foliage.
   
   

2. Pick up seasonal scents for each room ( Pumpkin Spice Latte for kitchen, Cedarwood Musk for living room, Vanilla Cream for bedroom).

Don’t forget holiday-specific fragrances — our Christmas Cookies and Pine Forest are legendary.

Declutter. Layer in cozy textures. Add intentional scent moments. Get ahead of the holiday game. With these 5 quick tips, your home will look — and smell — like it’s been professionally staged for fall. The best part? You can pull it off over Labor Day weekend without breaking a sweat. So light that candle, grab your favorite BluntPower fragrance, and start the season fresh. Your home (and your guests) will thank you.
