Post Hike Cosy Essentials
Written by: Grace Agar
Days in wild nature bring us home to a welcoming porch laden with fall-hued pumpkins, golden gourds and rustic lanterns as we usher in a season of good old-fashioned fun. Woodland walks in the countryside are followed by afternoons of family boardgames, laid beside a roaring fire and surrounded by candlelight for all to enjoy. Honouring cosy season, we are sharing our post-hike essentials, to bring you home on chillier days to an abundance of home comforts.
Create a warm welcome home with rattan-effect pumpkins styled in abundance, adorning your entrance with pumpkins nestled upon benches and side tables. The cosy glow of illuminated pumpkins will bring an autumnal ambience to your home and make for a welcoming return home each evening. Continue this inside your home, pairing rattan-affect with soft autumnal-hued felt pumpkins that offer a rustic, relaxed style. Simple to achieve, mixing and matching different styles and sizes to bring this informal, autumn styling into your home.
The season for cosying up by the fire, hunkering down with a new read, and opting for a slower pace to indulge in home cooking; autumn is the ultimate season for home comforts. Take the time this autumn for slow walks on chilly afternoons accompanied by a hot coffee, and being welcomed home into the warmth to spend late afternoons whiling away time. Opt for comforting, hearty meals, pumpkin spiced hot drinks and endless movie marathons to make the most of a little more time spent indoors.
Darker days and rain on windows call for soft lighting and an abundance of coy candlelight. Opt for a range of TruGlow® Candles that provide the perfect warmth and ambience and set on a timer to come on in time for your return home. Style classic Ivory TruGlow® Candles in various sizes on atop coffee table books and nestled amongst bookshelves for a homely feel. Complete the look with Orange TruGlow® Taper Candles styled nearby, in vintage brass candle holders, and along windowsills to add to the warming ambience as the afternoon begins to settle in.
