1. Start with the things you can’t see
Wipe down your windows and let the fall light in, clean vents and replace filters, and check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They’re not the most exciting parts of a seasonal reset, but getting them done makes your apartment feel fresher an...
Battery-operated, so there's no wiring. An easy one for renters to add or replace.

2. Give your apartment a quick reset
Declutter one high-traffic zone, refresh the cleaning supplies you actually use, and make a short fall home-maintenance list. You don’t need to deep-clean the entire apartment—a focused reset makes everything else feel easier.

3. Swap lightweight bedding for cozy layers
You don’t need an entirely new bed for fall. Start with your existing bedding and layer in a warmer quilt, blanket or throw, plus a few richer textures that make the room feel cozier without becoming heavy.
Adding a breathable quilt is a great way to add an extra layer.

4. Add a cozy rug or runner
A rug is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel warmer—especially in an apartment with hardwood or tile floors. Try one beside the bed, under a seating area or as a runner in a hallway or kitchen.
This runner is the perfect color for this time of year!

This golden hue is so unique. The rug comes in several sizes.

8. Rotate summer clothes + shoes out
Move the pieces you’re finished wearing out of prime closet space and bring fall layers, jackets and closed-toe shoes forward. It’s a small seasonal switch that makes getting dressed much easier.
A curated, mix-and-match fall wardrobe built on pieces that work together, so bringing fall clothes forward doesn't mean starting from scratch.
Fall Capsule
If you're only adding one thing this season, make it a great sweater. These are the ones I'd reach for first.
The Sweater Edit
Closed-toe shoes that take you from the first cool mornings through late fall: loafers, flats, boots and sneakers worth making room for.
