It’s asked every year and every year my answer is the same! \u00a0You can start decorating anytime you want!<\/em> \u00a0Trust me, if I lived up north and the air was starting to get that little tinge of fall feeling, you’d better believe I’d be pulling out all the bins and starting to transition from summer to fall home decor!<\/strong><\/p>\n Some people prefer to wait until after the Labor Day holiday break, which is also understandable. \u00a0This is particularly true for those who don’t begin the school year until after Labor Day!
