Our Relaxation Rituals

A perfect moment for mindfulness or meditation, the act of lighting a candle can be a great way to signpost the start of your unwinding routine. A flickering candle is one of the fastest ways to make a space feel more like a sanctuary, instantly adding that cosy vibe.

Add another layer to your ritual and choose a candle with aromatherapy properties - lavender is a great choice, along with rose and jasmine. Candles have to be burned to be truly enjoyed; don’t save your candles “for best”, treat yourself to their scent.

Tones of blue are great for settling the mind and encouraging a sense of peacefulness when you enter a space. Harness the power of blue with your homeware choices. In an ideal world we could all paint our bedrooms in shades of sapphire, but for an easier switch, opt for blue accessories. We love soft teal bedding to encourage sleep and throws in deep navy to help switch off your mind.

They all say to “turn off your screens an hour before bed” - but that’s because it really works. Signal to your body and brain that it’s time to unwind by charging your phone in another room while you get ready for bed. Some people love using this time to do their skincare routine and write in their journals - but if you’re like us, and need something more captivating than a diary, we recommend picking up a good book.

Set up your reading nook with a soft throw and plenty of cushions, creating a comfy spot to get through a few chapters. A frothy romance novel is like reading a great rom-com – perfect if you’re trying to get back into reading.
