Obviously, the gray skies and cold can quickly dampen your spirits! Instead of longing for somewhere else, why not try a few simple tips to lift your mood?
1/ Make the Most of Natural Light
Raise your blinds and open your curtains to let the sun’s rays in whenever they decide to appear! Think of yourself as a solar panel needing to recharge with natural light – it really does wonders for your mood!
So, whether it’s freezing outside or not, go for a walk as soon as the sun peeks out!
2/ Bring the “Hygge” Atmosphere Home
Hygge (pronounced “Hugueu”) is all about making your home cozier and more welcoming than ever. It’s the ultimate permission to relax once you step inside: lavender bubble baths, ambient music, fireplace, soft blankets, and thoughtful décor… Nordic experts say you should indulge generously!
3/ Soft, Dim Lighting…
In your living room, on the kitchen bar, or near the bathtub… these are perfect spots to light some candles once night falls.
Play with shadows, colors, and a mix of dim and accent lighting—but always keep safety in mind.
4/ Indulge Without Guilt
Don’t miss out on this delicious moment! Whether young or old, get cozy under a plush blanket. Preferably in front of a Christmas movie, dip your marshmallows carefully into hot chocolate, just warm enough to melt them slowly and warm your soul completely!
5/ Dress Your Home in Winter Fragrances
It’s not just about decorating your home or keeping the temperature ideal (19–21°C in living areas, 17–19°C in bedrooms) and snuggling on the couch… Once you step in after a long day, let the scent of cinnamon and orange peel welcome you for a true moment of relaxation!
Leave your worries at the door, right by your shoes, and enjoy little pockets of comfort in your cozy home.
And if you haven’t found the perfect spot for all of this yet, rest assured that once you do, Spiroux Movers will carefully place all your belongings in your new home—summer or winter alike!
