Colder, shorter days are here, and according to reports, for nearly 90% of UK adults that means more time spent at home. That makes this the perfect moment to turn your space into a cosy winter retreat.

Here are some tips to help you fully embrace the season, and make time spent at home restorative and relaxing:

1. Create a warm atmosphere
Add cosy touches like soft blankets, warm lighting, and comforting scents. Essential oils like lavender or cedarwood can help you relax, while invigorating scents like peppermint add a bit of energy to your space.

2. Indulge in seasonal treats
Take the time to experiment with hearty winter recipes. Cooking meals that fill your home with delicious aromas is a sure fire way to feel comfort and contentment.

3. Host movie or game nights
Staying in doesn’t have to be boring. Gather family and friends for a movie marathon or board game night, and your home will be bursting with chatter, laughter and warmth in no time.

4. Keep your space tidy and fresh
For most people, a tidy space is a more relaxing space. Clean little & often with natural products to keep things in order. Try coniferous, restorative seasonal scents like fir or eucalyptus.

5. Set up a creative corner
Dedicate a space to hobbies like reading, crafting, or painting. Having a creative corner helps make your time at home feel productive and brings a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

6. Embrace the outdoors from inside
Bring nature inside with indoor plants, or by putting furniture near windows to catch a glimpse of some sky. This connection to the outdoors can improve your mood during the colder months.
