Hygge is a Danish word for a quality of cosiness, a feeling of well-being and taking pleasure in the small joys of life. Like an afternoon spent with a book, a sip of hot coffee, the sound of rain drumming on the windowsill. Experience autumn in Lejaan style hygge. We’ve put together a few tips for the ‘chilling off’ months ahead.

LISTEN TO OUR PLAYLIST

The sounds of leaves falling and well-chosen music can help conjure up those chillout autumn vibes. Will you go for soothing piano music, nostalgic folk, or a playlist of your favourite movie soundtracks? Create your own special hygge playlist, or listen to the one that makes us at Lejaan feel good on dim autumn days.

LIGHT A CANDLE

The benefits of burning a candle are greater than you may expect. Candlelight creates a lovely ambience, think of its flames flickering in a draft, its warm glow and the cosiness all around. Try our favourite natural wax candles by Bohemian Lab (a Czech brand) Meraki and Skandinavisk (Danish minimalist brands).

TAKE A TRIP TO LIBEREC

Want to experience some true Nordic hygge? Then head out to Liberec! Treat yourself to breakfast in the renowned cafe Mikyna, stop off for coffee and home baked goodies at the stylish bakery DOK and then walk up to Ještěd for some breathtaking views.

And while you’re in Liberec, go visit Lejaan’s showroom. It’s the place where you might find Nordic hygge pieces to take home with you!

MAKE YOURSELF SOME MILK TEA

A hot cup of tea can always save the day! “When I first came upon Hot Cinnamon Spice tea by Harney & Sons, it was a small victory for me”, says Lia, our social media specialist, when asked about our little tea drinking ritual. “Since childhood, I’ve been told that black tea should be paired with milk. So, by adding just a touch, we created a signature autumn drink”.

EAT YOUR BREAKFAST OUTSIDE

The number of warm autumn days are gradually decreasing, so make the most of sunny autumn mornings by eating breakfast outside. Will you prefer brunch on the balcony alone or picnic in the park with friends? Whatever you choose, take a warm blanket and hot coffee with you!

DRESS YOUR HOME IN AUTUMN COLOURS

Cold shades know their time is up now, so please welcome the warm-at-first -sight colours to your home! Warm cosy looks are easily achieved when you combine earth tones, like brown, beige and brick. For extra variability, add a touch of light grey or a calming green shade. Create your own autumn palette with Lejaan bed linen and accessories.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH FRAGRANCES

Change your perfume, light a home fragrance lamp, or get yourself a stylish diffuser. Fragrances affect our mood and give the first impression of an interior - choose fragrances that make you feel comfy, cosy and boost your sense of well-being. Just like the ones at our favourite beauty concept store Ingredients.
