With summer drawing to a close and autumn fast approaching, it’s time to prepare your house for the holidays. October is National Bathroom and Kitchen Month, and it’s the ideal time to make home improvements. Whether you pursue a complete bathroom or kitchen remodeling project, or simply get new flooring and countertops, here’s how you can celebrate this time.

What It Is

Autumn, and specifically October, is the busiest time of year for home improvement contractors. With cooler weather and shorter days, many people start spending more time indoors during the fall. It’s also a prime time to start preparing for the holiday entertaining.

To commemorate designers’ and contractors’ hard work and encourage more people to invest in autumn house makeovers, the National Kitchen & Bath Association decided to make October a holiday in 1982.

How to Observe

There’s no right or wrong way to celebrate, and you can participate regardless of your goals or budget. If you have the time and budget for a major undertaking, consider bathroom or kitchen remodeling. A full remodel will improve functionality, aesthetics, and property value.

If you’re short on time, choose one element to fix up, such as the cabinets, countertops, or floor. If you’re on a tight budget, even upgrading the furniture and decor can make a noticeable difference, especially if you invest in a few high-quality pieces, like solid wood furniture.
