Staying connected to nature is crucial and beneficial for our mental health and wellbeing.

Recently, for many of us, nature has become a refuge from the harsh realities of the world. Considered one of the best forms of therapy, contact with nature generates positive emotions, such as calmness, creativity and happiness.

Our need for nature is deeply rooted in our DNA. In the autumn and winter months, in colder climates of the Northern hemisphere, we usually spend a lot of time indoors. Bringing nature into our homes seems like a simple way of keeping our relationship with the natural environment going, to stay grounded and happy.

Creating a more natural and thoughtful home could be the best gift you can give yourself this Christmas. It will improve your mood and overall wellbeing. Small changes in decor, filling your home with houseplants, fresh or dry flowers, using natural fabrics in soft colours will help you achieve a warm and happy home.

Spaces made with care and intention are stimulating and appealing to our senses. When you layer your home using quality linen cushions and blankets, you will create peaceful and restful surroundings.

Add a touch of linen in colours of nature: jade, charcoal, pebble or flax in your living room or bedroom. Following Scandinavian aesthetics, invest in quality candles, bring light and some greenery indoors and you will notice a positive change in your mood.

Sleeping in natural linen is also hugely beneficial. Linen is breathable so it feels pleasantly cool in summer and warm in winter. It is also antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That means no bacteria, fungus or dust mites.

As a natural and soft fabric, it will give you the most peaceful sleep you have experienced, and good sleep at night means more positive energy during the day.

If there is one thing you could do for your well-being, it should be to look at your sleeping habits and environment. This could have an immense effect on your body and mind, and results might be astonishing.

Create the space you love with attention, using timeless pieces that will stand the test of time. Let it unfold slowly and enjoy the process.
