Hello everyone!
Ah, Labor Day. The unofficial end of summer and with last summer’s heatwave, we can’t be the only ones ready for the cool autumn breezes. But a bittersweet moment is still in the making. Labor Day is the final hoorah for the summer bar-b-q’s, swimming, and hanging out in the comfort of our patio furniture. These may be the last moments of the summer season, but we at American Home Furniture and Mattress are here to help you get ready to celebrate the hard work and dedication that helps our communities thrive. It's a day of relaxation, appreciation, and quite often, a day filled with the sizzling sounds and irresistible aroma of a classic backyard grill out.
As we look forward to that last big grilling bash of the season, there’s no better time than now to spruce up your patio for maximum comfort. After all, as much as we enjoy the summer heat, we can't deny the chill in the evenings hinting at the forthcoming autumn.
Let’s dive into a few ways you can upgrade your outdoor space, ensuring your Labor Day gathering is memorable, comfortable, and sets you up for a smooth transition into cooler days ahead.
The Comfort Factor: Upgrade Your Patio Cushions
Comfort is key, and nothing says comfort like plush, stylish patio cushions. Don't let the worn-out cushions on your outdoor furniture dull your Labor Day festivities. Whether your style is bold and vibrant or minimalist and sleek, new cushions can refresh your patio's look and provide a soft landing for your guests.
Tip: If you need to just update your Patio Cushions, our Menaul and Carlisle location does carry some in-store. So, if you need help with any of that, we recommend that location!
Layer Up: Bring in Outdoor Blankets
Who said blankets are only for indoors? A selection of warm, cozy outdoor blankets can be a game-changer. As the night grows colder, guests can wrap themselves up and continue the merriment under the stars. Plus, come fall, these blankets will be a staple for those chilly, yet beautiful, autumn nights.
Tip: Now, you are more than likely (hopefully) thinking of starting an outdoor throw blanket collection. If so (or not), we are still more than happy to get you started on your journey!
Mood Lighting: Enhance the Ambiance
Nothing sets the mood quite like outdoor lighting. Lanterns, fairy lights, or even a fire pit can create a warm, inviting ambiance that encourages conversation and connection. As dusk settles earlier in the coming weeks, these lights will extend the usability of your patio, making it a comfortable spot to relax long after Labor Day.
Stay Organized: Use Outdoor Storage Solutions
With all these additions to your patio, consider outdoor storage solutions. Storage boxes or benches can serve dual purposes - they can store blankets, cushions, and other patio accessories, while also providing additional seating or table space.

Labor Day is more than just a day off work; it’s a celebration of the collective strength, prosperity, and well-being that our labor contributes to society. What better way to celebrate than surrounded by friends and family in a cozy, inviting outdoor space? As we grill up the last of the summer burgers, let’s remember to appreciate this transition phase. Each season has its charm, and while it might be hard to let summer go, there's something undeniably magical about a crisp fall evening on a comfortable, well-prepared patio.
Be sure to spend this Labor Day doing what you love with those you cherish most. Can't wait to catch up in the next post! – American Home Furniture and Mattress
