SHORTER, DARKER DAYS ARE AHEAD: MAKE YOUR HOME A HAVEN s more of life is centered around home, good design can help you augment and replace natural light, while creating a beautiful, productive, safe haven during the darker, shorter days of fall and winter.

“As the home continues to serve as our collective sanctuary during the COVID pandemic, it’s critical to consider how lighting can keep a family thriving during this fall and winter season,” said Michael McCullough, public relations director at Progress Lighting.

Fall has arrived, and with it, a new reality. The days are naturally growing shorter and darker. Daylight Saving Time expires Nov. 1, ushering in the long winter nights and colder temperatures.

This means more time spent inside working, learning and just plain living in our homes.

“The stress of the COVID-19 crisis has emphasized the impact our environment plays on our well-being. There’s never been a more important time for interior design,” said Doris Pearlman, founder of Possibilities for Design of Denver. “Our goal is to create spaces that uplift and embrace, providing respite from daily pressures.”

Pearlman’s team offers three design suggestions: • Add lighting above work areas to create functional, operational spaces.

• Complement ambient lighting with pendant lighting around kitchen islands to facilitate collaboration.

• Create inspiration by clustering pendants for a fun, unique centerpiece.

• Hang pendants over nightstands to turn the bedroom into a retreat. Individual switches allow for customized lighting for easy bedtime reading.

Jayme and Nolan Fridley of Fridley Homes in Oregon, who balance a busy custom home- building business with their active family, are observing new trends.

“The open-concept floor plan is not as charming when everyone’s working from home,” Jayme Fridley said. “Instead of a ‘great room,’ many families now think that having many areas designated for specific tasks is ‘great’.”

Fridley’s strategies include: • Create specific learning areas for each child.

• Let kids customize spaces, keeping clutter minimized to avoid distractions.

• Encourage concentration with good (if possible natural) lighting.

incorporate light layering to maximize light throughout the day. Supplement daylight with overhead lighting from chandeliers, recessed and close-to-ceiling fixtures. Place task lighting such as pendants or desk lamps over work areas. Use accent lighting like wall sconces to add a soft glow as the day wanes.

“Lighting should set the tone for productivity. For some, this might mean bright lighting and multiple sources.

Others might prefer a moody vibe. Making it your own is what’s most important … oh, and a good backdrop for Zoom calls sure won’t hurt,” said Julie Wynalda, owner of True Vine Creations in Hudsonville, Mich.

Instagram influencer Heather, of Operation Tudor Revival, who’s DIY-ing her home renovation says, “Office lighting can be both functional and fabulous! I went with an overhead chandelier with a drum shade for an updated look. The shade also helps diffuse light to avoid glare on my computer screen.”

Technology can help spaces pull double-duty. Lifestyle blogger Lindsey Dalton said, “We put our chandelier on a dimmer so it can be bright while my husband’s working but we can turn it down during dinner to transition the room from workday to relaxing evening.”

With smart light fixtures, you can change lighting tone, brightness and color with a device or your voice. Control products from iDevices work with the three most popular voice assistants: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. Using the iDevices smart Dimmer Switch and Wall Switch, you can set lights on dynamic schedules and automations based on triggers like your local sunrise or presence at home. Delineating start and stop times to your day through lighting can help optimize productivity and boost your mood.

Smart controls can also facilitate distance-learning.

“With a voice assistant built inside the Instinct smart light switch, you have your own at-home teaching assistant, helping answer questions and assisting with exercises,” said Andrew Ragali, senior marketing manager for iDevices. “It also allows you to play music or audiobooks using voice commands to keep kids on task.”

Your home environment affects your family’s health and well-being. Welllighted, comfortable spaces can help your household thrive in the months ahead.

HOME PROJECTS THAT DON’T REQUIRE A PROFESSIONAL adding smart devices and cameras to the exterior of your home, look to install them above high-risk entry points, such as the front door, back and side doors, and the garage.

There are many great security cameras that can be easily mounted to the exterior of your home without professional installation.

hile spending more time at home, you may have noticed the little things that need to be fixed and small ways you can improve the appearance and functionality of your home.

So why not use this time to test your skills with a few DIY projects?

Here are some easy, affordable tips to fix those items that have been nagging at you, as well as to check off small projects that will boost your home’s aesthetic.

4. EFFORTLESS GUTTER REPAIR.

1. FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING.

From your family and friends to the mail carrier, your front door greets everyone who comes to your home. But it can take a beating from weather and constant use, so revitalize it with a fresh coat of paint. Once the paint has dried, accent it with a new door knocker, hardware or address plate.

Worried about drilling into the door?

Secure these items with T-Rex Mounting Tape. Mounting tape is a strong, weatherresistant tape for heavy-duty projects that replaces nails, screws and staples.

2. TRIM THE WALLS.

Accenting a room with wood trim is a quick way to add another level of depth and detail to the interior of your home, and it won’t cost a lot. Your local home improvement store can provide the best

trim to fit your budget.

For a smooth installation, ditch the nail gun and runny glues and opt for a fast-adhering super glue tape, which sticks on contact and works just as well as traditional nails.

3. BOLSTER YOUR SECURITY.

Feeling safe at home is important, and security cameras are a quick and easy solution to deter unwanted visitors and offer you peace of mind.

If you’ve been toying with the idea of

One project to check off your list is fixing that leaky gutter you’ve been ignoring. Don’t worry, it’s not as daunting a task as it might seem.

Simply wrap waterproof tape around the leak and smooth it around all of the gutter ridges for a tight seal. Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures from minus-70 to 200 degrees, the UVresistant formulation will prevent the tape from breaking down under harsh sunlight.

Now how simple was that?

During these uncertain times, staying active and checking those to-dos off your list will give both you and your home a much needed refresher.

long with the fall season comes a range of outdoor chores for homeowners nationwide, from clearing trees and branches after wicked weather strikes to gathering autumn leaves.

Here are a few things to consider as you go about fueling your chainsaws, leaf blowers and other lawn care equipment:

A

PROPER FUEL

PROPER FUEL STORAGE

If you have messy or bulky fuel containers, it’s time for an update. Proper fuel storage can make the task of fueling equipment safer, cleaner and ultimately more efficient and affordable. For starters, be sure to purchase only fuel containers approved by federal or state authorities that have a flame mitigation device (FMD) and a child safety feature.

Then, consider ease of use. The best containers not only exceed recognized safety standards, they help you avoid messy, costly spills.

To that end, look for a user-controlled flow valve, such as those featured on Scepter SmartControl containers. Available in 1-, 2- and 5-gallon sizes for gasoline, diesel and kerosene, these rugged storage containers, which are made of

A fuel container with a user-controlled flow valve can help you avoid messy, costly spills.

five layers of safe high-density polyethylene for long-time use, feature an innovative, hassle-free spout controlled

and operated by squeezing. And, because they are stored with the spout on, hands stay clean.

While you’re updating your fuel containers, be sure to restock your fuel, too.

Keep in mind that fuel sitting unused for many months should be safely discarded, as gas components can deteriorate over time. Changing gasoline out with the seasons keeps it fresh.

Having plenty of fuel on hand is not only a key element to powering through yard work and chores, but also an important part of extreme weather preparedness.

During power outages and in the aftermath of storms, you’ll be able to fuel generators, chainsaws and other gaspowered equipment without worrying about your supply. So don’t wait until a storm is in the forecast to stock up on this essential.

This fall, equip your shed or garage with the fuel and fuel storage solutions you need for a safe and productive season.
