From dripping wet children plopping down on the couch after an afternoon in the sprinklers, muddy footprints tracked through the living room, and piles of musty towels found in every corner of the house, the summer can start to feel more like a chore than a vacation.

This year, after the back-to-school shopping is finished and the pencils, notebooks, and lunches are packed, it’s time to reclaim the space that once resembled your living room. For overworked mom’s ready for some peace and quiet, Sure Fit Slipcovers and Home Solutions offers some quick tips for taking back your home this fall.

• Mini Home Make-Over: You’ve pried melted Popsicle sticks off the fabric and scrubbed at Kool-Aid spills until you were red in the face, but you still can’t justify buying a whole new couch. One of the quickest ways to make a dramatic update to your home is by revamping your furniture. Sure Fit Slipcovers and Home Solutions carry a wide variety of colors and styles that are sure to update any room for the season. Try the Faux Leather Collection or to keep you feeling cozy through the cooler months.

• Carpet Clean-Up: After a summer full of sticky snacks and craft projects gone awry, your carpets are left pleading for a good cleaning. With just one simple phone call, you can have your carpets shampooed and looking brand new before the kids are even home from school.

• Lighten up with Candles: A cost efficient and simple way to rid your home of the smelly trail that the summer left behind. Choose rich, seasonal scents that will make your home feel warm, inviting, and relaxing.

• Designate Your Space: The kids have a playroom, and yet they still manage to take over your living room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom, etc… It’s about time you designate a space that is your own. Whether it’s arranging a cozy reading corner in the office, or giving your bathroom a spa-worthy makeover, it is important to have somewhere peaceful to call your own.

• Small Changes Can Make a Difference: Adding a small touch such as throw pillows to any piece of furniture is an easy and cost effective way to make any living room transition into fall.
