Set the mood with scent

If you’re looking to add ambience to your home, fragrance is your friend. Whether you’re new to home perfumes, or usually just go for the same scents, transitioning seasons is the perfect time to look for new aromas.

Whilst fragrance sticks are a great for aromas, candles are your go-to for ultimate relaxation. According to research from the University of Alabama, watching fire can lower your blood pressure. Many of us without a fireplace turned to Netflix or youtube for to watch fire crackle last year but why not take that one step further? Try arranging your candles together with layered heights and take some time to watch the flames. Having this calming focus can help reduce anxiety and create a sense of calm.

 

Add some colour

When the weather outside is frightful, add some warmth to your home with a pop of colour. According to Pantone & Farrow & Balls colour trends for 2022, we will see an eclectic mix of simplicity and spontaneity next year. For your cosy corner, classic calming hues like humus and soft whites could lay create a soft and simple foundation but spice it up with adding some brighter layers. For your bedroom, try adding a throw in a supersonic blue to add some vibrance or liven up your living room with some coral or bright green cushions. On dark and colder days, colours are the perfect source of warmth!
