October – The Perfect Month to Create a Cosy Hygge Home

October is here and it’s the perfect month to create a cosy hygge home. The darker nights are creeping in and there’s the smell of bonfires on the air. I don’t want to fully commit to this, but I *think* it could be my favourite month of the year…

Creating a Cosy Hygge Home in October

When it comes to all things cosy, October provides the perfect vibe to start your hygge home journey. When we think of cosy hygge living, there’s always an element of darkness and chilliness. These things give us the opportunity to create warmth to oppose the cold, bringing people together, lighting candles and cooking nourishing food.

Below are all the things you can do to create a cosy hygge home this October. Pick one or two, or try them all, remember this about creating a cosy home for YOU.

Candles

Adding candles around your home will immediately elevate the cosy vibes. Whether you’re cooking by candlelight or adding ambiance to a movie night, candles offer a warmth no other light can give.

Pumpkins

I have pumpkins in my home all year round because that’a how I roll… But this month is perfect for introducing pumpkins to your home if you don’t already have them! They are plump and round and the cutest things, and their rich and warm colours add layers to your home style. And you never know, if you love them, maybe you can keep them up all year round like me…

Blankets and Cushions

Bringing in cosy blankets and cushions will not only keep you warm but they’ll also give your home a cosy feel. Opt for faux fur for the extra luxurious look and layer them up for a perfectly snuggly home.

Cook and Bake from Scratch

Creating food from scratch is such a gorgeous way to welcome in hygge life. Bonus points if you do it by candlelight! Imagine making homemade pumpkin bread and cinnamon rolls… Even the thought of it makes me drool! And imagine getting cosy on the sofa afterwards and munching them with a hot cup of cocoa – bliss!

Create a Bath-time Ritual

Creating a bath (or shower) ritual can really up the cosy vibes. Treat yourself to a nice bubble bath, bath bomb or fancy shower gel, pop on some candles, dim the lights and settle down with a movie, podcast or book. Make this a weekly ritual (or more if you want), because these darker nights will make it simply magical!
Hopefully these suggestions will help you on your journey to hygge living, creating cosy spaces and moments during your week. Feel free to add any of your own ideas in the comments or tell me how you found these activities, I’d love to know!
