The best ways to get cosy this Autumn

Can you believe it's Autumn already?

As the season changes and we start to darker, colder weather, the perfect season time to grab your blanket and embrace its cosiness and warmth.

Looking for ways to make the most out of Autumn? Here are some of our favourite ways to enjoy it!

Work on the ambience

• Soft lighting - Use fairy lights, candles, or lanterns to create a warm, glowing atmosphere in your home.
• Warm blankets and cushions - Layer soft, chunky blankets and add some comfy pillows to your living spaces to make it extra inviting.
• Scented candles - Opt for autumnal scents like cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla, or woodsy fragrances to make your home smell amazing.

Enjoy warm drinks

• Hot chocolate - Indulge in a rich, creamy hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows or flavoured syrups.
• Seasonal teas - Try chai, cinnamon, or ginger tea for a warming boost.
• Pumpkin spice latte - Brew your own cosy pumpkin spiced latte at home or visit a café for the ultimate Autumn treat.

Wear cosy clothing

• Knit sweaters and cardigans - Opt for soft, oversized sweaters in earthy tones.
• Fluffy socks or slippers: Nothing is worse than cold feet! Keep your them warm with thick woolly socks or sherpa-lined slippers.
• Layering: Combine flannel shirts, scarves, and beanies for extra warmth and style.

Indulge in comfort food

• Baking seasonal treats - Bake apple pies, pumpkin bread or cinnamon rolls which will not only taste good but fill your home with delicious aromas too.
• Hearty soups and stews - Make wholesome meals like butternut squash soup, beef stew or chili for a nourishing, warming dinner.
• Roasted vegetables - Roast autumn vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and brussels sprouts for a simple yet comforting meal.

Watch Autumn-themed movies

• Curl up on the couch and binge-watch your favourite seasonal movies. We recommend When Harry Met Sally, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice or Harry Potter for those magical Autumn vibes!
• Create a movie marathon with your partner, kids and/or friends. Make sure you bring blankets, popcorn and lots of warm drinks.

Go for nature walks

• Crisp Autumn air - Take a walk in the park or countryside, where you can enjoy the changing colours of the leaves, breathe in the crisp air, and wear snuggly warm layers.
• Collect leaves: Gather fallen leaves, acorns and pinecones then use them as rustic home décor.

Create a reading nook

• Set up a small corner with a comfy chair, blankets, pillows and a reading lamp where you can curl up with a good book.
• Make sure you have access to warm drinks (like mulled wine or hot chocolate!) for the perfect escape.

Practice self care

• Slow living - Embrace the Danish concept of "hygge" by enjoying simple pleasures, taking time to slow down and appreciate those moments of relaxation.
• Switch off - Turn of your phone and take a break from the world. You could unwind with relaxing music, take up journaling or try knitting for a slow and peaceful hobby.
• Warm bubble bath: Indulge in a hot bubble bath with essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus or cedarwood to relax and warm up on chilly evenings. You could even add a luxurious touch with a fragrant bath bomb or Epsom salts for extra relaxation.

Decorate your home

• Natural elements - Decorate with pumpkins, gourds, dried flowers, and seasonal foliage.
• Autumnal colours - Use deep, warm colours like burnt orange, mustard yellow and burgundy in your décor to bring the season indoors.

By incorporating some of these elements, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the cosiness and beauty of autumn!
