Fall officially arrives September 23rd, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until then to get your kitchen ready for the new season. Start prepping now for autumn with great décor finds from TheRTAStore.com and these five fall-friendly tips:

1. Make your kitchen fall-functional.
Apple picking is a must come fall, but storing the bushels of apples can be a little tricky. These sliding woven baskets from TheRTAStore.com are the perfect storage solution. The baskets mount on a rail in the inside of base cabinets making them easy to pull out and use. Each basket is lined with machine washable canvas—just in case there’s a bad apple in the bunch. Be sure to check out more organizational cabinet accessories here.
 
2. Prepare for baking season.
Fall means apple pies, pumpkin bread, and snickerdoodles galore. Get your kitchen ready for the beginning of baking season with this heavy duty stand-mixer lift that fits into a base cabinet. No more lugging out the stand mixer from a bottom cabinet or taking up valuable counter space with its bulky frame! Spices are a necessity in fall baking, but keeping them organized can be a challenge. A door mount spice rack makes the nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon easy to identify (they’re so easy to mix up!), keeps them organized, and accessible!
 
3. Expand your indoor entertaining space.
Fall brings a host of entertaining opportunities, from at-home tailgates to soup-swaps. A kitchen island or cart is an easy way to expand your entertaining space and add storage. Our islands and carts come in a variety of beautiful finishes and countertop materials to blend effortlessly with any kitchen decor.
 
4. Add warmth.
Autumn also ushers in cooler weather—driving us inside to stay warm and cozy. Bring warmth to your kitchen with a handcrafted copper sink. The beautiful hammered finish will add texture and charm, while also disguising scratches that naturally occur with everyday use. Not only are copper sinks beautiful, but they’re functional too. Copper is naturally antibacterial and rust-resistant!
 
5. Bring in color.
Colorful leaves are one of the best parts about the season. Take a cue from nature and bring new color into the kitchen this fall. Kitchen islands are a great place to add a pop of color that’ll make a big impact without spending a lot. Colorful appliances are on trend according to home building experts and could be just the ticket for adding interest in the kitchen.
 
Backsplashes are another good way to bring in a pop of color and can be installed in a day or two. TheRTAStore.com has a wide variety of backsplash options from glass to stone, multi-colored to classic white. Lastly, fresh flowers and new kitchen linens in fall colors go a long way in bringing your kitchen into a new season in style!
