Redesigning Your Bedroom for Autumn, Following the Scandinavian Design Trends

In the chill of autumn, as the leaves turn golden and the days grow shorter, it's time to bring a touch of hygge into our homes. Hygge, a Danish concept that embodies cosiness and wellbeing, is more than just a buzzword - it's a lifestyle.

This season, Røros Tweed, a renowned textile brand known for its earth-toned Nordic designs, is offering wool throws and cushion covers to help you create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Flowerpot VP9, designed by Verner Panton, is another Nordic design worth considering for fall, available in mustard or vermillion hues.

But hygge isn't just about aesthetics. It's about creating an environment that encourages comfort and togetherness. Activities like mushroom foraging, chestnuts, soup, woolly jumpers, cake, and cozy time spent together with friends and family are all part of the hygge experience.

As we prepare for the fall, the bedroom becomes the most important space for hygge. Scandinavians often keep their beds simple, with just pillows, a duvet (or two duvets!), and duvet cover. High-quality Scandinavian duvet covers are not only soft and comfortable, but also beautiful to look at. European linen used for these covers is eco-friendly, soft, and gets softer with each wash.

Evoking the scent of fall can be done with a diffuser and essential oils like cinnamon or clove. Great lighting is important for hygge, and dimmable lights should be considered. Smart bulbs and switches can be used to control these lights without the need for a phone or voice.

The United States has its own hygge "drivers", such as pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, and misty forests. Thanksgiving, with its focus on family, togetherness, gratitude, and comfort food, is considered deeply hygge.

Danish founder of the Global Happiness Institute, Meik Wiking, suggests that Danes consider fall to be the most hygge season of the year. This year, let's embrace the hygge lifestyle and make our homes a sanctuary of comfort and wellbeing.

In 2025, the Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse, a rich, warm tone similar to raw clay and brownstone apartments. Pantone's Mocha Mousse complements deep, ocean blues and olive greens, colours featured in the website's solid-color, durable linen bedding collection.

So, let's start preparing for the fall, and let hygge guide us towards a cozier, more comfortable home. Share your hygge drivers and fall preparation ideas on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter, and let's spread the warmth together.
