Living in an association is one of the most vibrant ways to enjoy community. Association leaders and board members can encourage residents to take a more active role in the HOA by encouraging personal representations of style and taste–both inside and outside of the home. While architectural guidelines are in place to preserve the overall aesthetic and feel of an association, residents can step forward and feel empowered when given the ability to personalize and decorate their spaces.
Below, we’re diving into the top ways that your residents can update their Dallas rental homes for the fall season and offering insight on vendor referrals and community hidden gems that can be offered to residents on the hunt for decor inspiration and support.
1. Lighting Swaps for Garden Paths & Stairs
Fall brings with it a cool chill to the air and is the season of comfort and peace. Encouraging your residents to swap out lighting options to suit their personal styles and tastes while keeping the guidelines in mind is a great way to encourage an atmosphere of safety and taste. You’ll want to encourage residents to install low-energy options, as well as all-weather options to stand up to the incoming winter storms and weather shifts.

2. Seasonal Decor Changes
Rules around seasonal decor changes don’t have to be limiting. While these will vary by association, HOA leaders can communicate with residents about what is permitted and in accordance with architectural guidelines. Often, seasonal decor that’s done in good taste is permitted, except in areas with more stringent architectural requirements. Fall favorites include all-weather lanterns with no-flame candles, faux pumpkins, fall wreaths, and fall streamers to give the entryway a bit of flair and pop. Residents may also consider displaying seasonal flags in their yards or exterior areas to celebrate the change in season.

3. Outdoor Installations for Warmth & Comfort
As the cold weather approaches, your residents may be considering elevating their outdoor space. This can take place in many forms–but some of the most appreciated include portable heat lamps of all shapes and sizes, as well as outdoor all-weather fireplaces–usually built atop faux glass fire rocks or some other form of contained housing unit. These may or may not be permitted based on the current architectural guidelines in your association. If they are, however, it can add a classy and upscale touch to properties in your association while providing your residents with a cozy and warm experience just in time for the change of season.
