Autumn DIY Home Improvements for 2025

Autumn is here and you know what that means?

Cosy season!

Let's face it, the weather is getting wetter and colder & it's getting darker quicker. Sad times.

Who wants to be out in that? Not us!

Whilst we'll be indoors more, why not use this time to do some work around the house to spruce it up for the new season.

Here are some autumn diy home improvements you can do this year.

Let's get energy efficient

It's no secret that there's been a serious hike in energy bills over the past few years.

We're sure that all of us are looking for ways we can keep our homes warm & lit up without having to pay over the odds.

Roofs

Insulating your roof has so many benefits but the biggest one - it's energy efficient.

According to energy saving trust, we lose 25% of our heat through the roof. Who knew?

The extra layer of material helps keep heat in your home rather than letting it escape.

By adding roof insulation to your home, you can help reduce your annual energy bill costs & keep your homes warmer for longer.

Windows & doors

Just picture it. You've been out in the cold outdoors. You're finally home, sat snuggled up on the sofa after a long day. Then you feel a breeze on your toes.

Yes, you have a draught!

Draughts are another reason our energy bills hike over the chillier months.

But it doesn't have to be this way!

We have a selection of draught excluders you can buy to seal up any gaps in your windows and doors to stop the cold from coming in.

Pipes

You may not know, but insulating your pipes can help save energy.

Pipe insulation reduces how much heat is lost through pipes, keeping your home warmer & your annual energy bills lower.

It can even stop them from freezing in the colder months too.

Check your gutters

Over time, our gutters might need updating or replacing.

If you don't maintain them, you risk developing damp, mould & even causing structural damage to your home.

What better time to do it than before the wet weather arrives in autumn.

HSS DIY has a choice of guttering systems if you need and upgrade or if you fancy a change.

Cosy up next to the fireplace

Autumn is the snug season.

We all just want to curl up on the sofa with pumpkin spiced flavoured hot drinks and something nice and chocolatey. Mmmmm!

With the nights getting darker and colder, why not create your own cosy area by the fire.

Find a nice, comfy blanket and cushions to add them to your favourite comfy spot.

Get that big light off, light a candle (cinnamon scented if you're wanting to stick with the autumn theme) and put on that new show you're obsessed with.

Rather read a book instead but need to put up a book shelf?

You can buy or hire power drills, screws and spirit levels from HSS DIY to help you make space for those love stories you're about to get lost in. Or thriller stories. Whichever genre takes your fancy!

Give the floors a refresh

Now that autumn is here, you might want to think ahead and plan for Christmas.

The festive season is an absolute fave for many of - parties galore, family time, presents! What's not to love.

Before everyone starts coming over, use the autumn season to get your flooring looking brand new.

Whether you hire a carpet cleaner, vacuum or a floor polisher, we have all the floor cleaning equipment you need.

Bubble bath anyone?

Who doesn't love a nice hot bath after a chilly day outside. We definitely do.

From the sound of the water running, to choosing if you want bubbles or a bath bomb, it all adds to the excitement of bath time.

Sadly, however, some of us don't have a bath. The horror!

If you're one of those people who have a shower but miss having a soak, do a switcheroo and install a new bath.

HSS DIY has a selection of stylish baths that'll suit any any bathrooms. We also have a shower baths too so you can have the best of both worlds.

Don't forget to send any pics or videos of your home improvements to our socials! We'd love to see your transformations.

Give the walls a lick of paint

New season, new you!

Another autumn DIY home improvement you can add to your list is repainting your walls.

Get rid of those magnolia walls and let's add some colour!

According to House Beautiful, there are 5 autumn paint colours that will make your home feel cosy. From rusty coral to warm grey, you're sure to find a shade you'll love.

From preparation tools, different paints, to brushes and more, HSS DIY has a wide range of painting & decorating tools and equipment for you to buy online.

Refurb your kitchen

As the weather changes and it's getting a bit more nippy outside, let's sort that kitchen out!

Like many of us, we tend to put off some of our bigger home improvement projects but this autumn, we're getting them ticked off our list.

Update your worktops, add a splashback or switch up your taps, the world (or kitchen) is your oyster.
