When it gets cold and gray outside and the wind and rain make it less than pleasant to be outside, it's time for a cozy home!

We make ourselves comfortable with fluffy fur blankets, comfy cushions and home accessories that warm us up just by looking at them and make our home feel particularly cozy.

Must-have and fall decoration number one: candles! They give us a lovely feeling of comfort and cozy light. Scented candles in particular create a cozy atmosphere with beguiling aromas. Popular fragrances in the fall are cinnamon, vanilla, sandalwood and orange.

Warm tones are typical for the third season, as Mother Nature also provides reddish-golden leaves. Home accessories made of copper therefore look particularly good, as the metal conveys warmth and elegance. If the copper is untreated, it gradually acquires an interesting patina through oxidation. Copper is not just copper anyway: it comes in a variety of colors from light rosé to red-orange to a warm, rich brown.
