the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting a bit darker and the weather is cooling down, which means we’re going to be spending more time indoors.

bring the outdoors indoors by: 

house plants – decorate with greenery. plants not only look beautiful but help recycle the air, a real life air purifier. plants add good energy and green therapy. pathos are the best house plants ever because they’re so low maintenance. 

fresh flowers – one of the best pick me ups. they instantly lift the room and the general mood. they don’t have to be expensive either, pick some up at the grocery store.

the first two small touches bring so much life inside and keep us connected to nature.

clean house, clean mind. try to keep your space clean and decluttered. my mind can’t really relax unless my home is clean. does anyone else find cleaning and organizing strangely soothing and satisfying? 

candles – buy a candle with a beautiful scent. sometimes, we underestimate the power of smell, how it makes us feel, and the memories it sparks. olfactory memory is the strongest one and the most important to me. 

blankets – as the temperature drops, one of the things i look forward to the most is layers. it’s the perfect time to stock up on beautiful layers that you can’t wait to come home to. it’s the easiest way to spruce up your bedroom or living room. it even adds color and texture. there’s no better way to end your day than wrapped in a soft, warm blanket. 

a little nook – create a perfect spot that brings you a small escape. this could be used for reading, drinking tea, or an afternoon nap. 

all of these little touches add much tranquility, coziness and warmth to your home.
