Indulge & Unwind at Home

As autumn arrives, with winter on its heels, we begin to turn inward. The colder months offer an opportunity to recalibrate and take stock. It’s an ideal time to reconnect with your mind, body, and relationships that may have gone by the wayside in a whirlwind, travel-filled summer. We invite you to indulge and unwind at home with us this season. We’ll share insights on enhancing your well-being and establishing fulfilling self-care habits in the coming weeks and months. First, you will want to prepare your space for the season ahead.

Let this be a sign to turn your living space into a sanctuary of self-care and relaxation. Current trends in home decor lean towards maximalism and nature-inspired forms. In beauty, we’re seeing a focus on body care, products with meaningful scent components, high-quality raw materials, scalp care, and at-home treatments over spa appointments. Read on for ideas on how to transform your space for well-being and discover new ways to indulge and unwind at home this fall and winter season.

Kick off the season by creating a space dedicated to your wellness activities. Select an area of your living space to transform into a sanctuary of good vibes. This means optimizing the space to spark feelings of peace and joy. This year’s major interior trend, dopamine decor, can easily be incorporated into your home. Look for objects that make you happy, focusing on vibrant colors and playful prints. Don’t hesitate to mix and match different patterns and materials. If you’ve selected your bathroom as the zone to indulge and unwind in, check out Missoni Home for colorful robes and slippers. For the kitchen, the iconic brand, Alessi, has long emphasized a modus operandi that fuses happiness and utility, reimagining household items in playful ways. Fazeek‘s hand-blown borosilicate glass mugs bring eye-catching yet calming organic forms to your space.

Consider Pendleton Woolen Mills for their woven wool blankets that will make you want to cozy up with a hot beverage and a good book. Love the brand? They also make towels, featuring designs inspired by Indigenous American traditions. Also in the way of home textiles, Lisa Corti‘s designs are thoughtful and feminine. Inspired by block printing techniques and hand-produced in India, we have floral and striped motifs that work for all ages. Look for expression in novel ways, with unique floor coverings.

For animal lovers, Qeeboo‘s rugs are sure to be a hit and can double as wall décor, while maximalists can find abstract statement rugs from Illulian and more.

Nurturing your relationships is a crucial part of overall well-being. Consider inviting loved ones into your sanctuary this season. Hosting your friends and family at home is an amazing way to foster deepened connections, and for many, is a soul-nourishing activity that provides gratification and fulfillment. How can you be a great host? Focus on curating a comfortable and inviting space – start small, with your living area. Ditch the light switches and opt for soft lighting with yellow bulbs. Get inspired with our collection of lamps that double as design objects. To boost comfort, be sure to use some throw pillows, and don’t forget the blankets as well. This season we are loving lightweight plaids and color blocking. If you’d like to up your interior’s style, take a look at our curated selection of wallpaper from top designers like Fornasetti and more.

Once your physical space has been curated to your liking, you can begin thinking about coziness on the sonic level. Elevate your gatherings by offering your guests ambiance through music. Speakers and turntables bring people together through shared listening experiences, but this isn’t just something to use when you have company. When you are alone, music can act as a daily mood boost. Try listening to energizing, uptempo melodies to start your day, and wind down in the evenings with relaxing soundscapes. Music has been used as a form of therapy, aiding in healing as far back in time as ancient Greece. Our curated selection of tech accessories provides you with high-quality and aesthetically pleasing designs. A thoughtful approach is needed to yield a space ready for hosting friends or unwinding solo. Just light a scented candle – for Fall and Winter look for notes of amber, cinnamon, leather, cedarwood, clove, and the like – and you’re ready to go.

One of the simplest ways to unwind and indulge at home is with a scented candle. We know, and all too often forget, just how much scents impact our mood and mindset. Even if you have no guests coming over, make lighting a candle a regular ritual to enhance your space’s ambiance and connect with your olfactory senses. Trudon, a french brand, one of the oldest candle makers in the world, offers candles in glass vessels, elevating them to home dècor. Love scent? You can explore other aroma-centric rituals like incense or bath salts. Connect to another one of the senses with sexual wellness devices that can help you connect with your body’s rhythm and reduce stress. For rituals with see-worthy results, try an at-home treatment like the LYMA Laser Starter Kit or Mz Skin Light MAX Supercharged LED mask 2.0, which offers anti-aging and acne modes using a blend of red, infrared, and blue light waves that penetrate the epidermis killing acne-causing bacteria, regulating oil production, and reducing inflammation. Laser and light therapy treatments should be performed on clean and dry skin, and be sure to follow with hydrating skincare products afterward.

Consistency is key, schedule multiple therapies a week and proceed for a few months before evaluating results. Another wonderful ritual to incorporate into your life is practically without cost. Try treating yourself to a slow start to the day by enjoying breakfast in bed. It can be helpful to your mental health to avoid using your smartphone immediately in the morning. So, try enjoying your breakfast on a beautiful tray. Sip your coffee while listening to a podcast, reading a few pages of a book, or journaling. Then, start your day off on the right foot.

Regular skin, hair, and body treatments are restorative habits that will help you to feel good in your own skin. Find products that work for you and get into a routine, dedicating half an hour or less a few nights a week to your selected treatments. Natureofthings offers ingredient-focused, ritual-centric products with natural fragrances. Their Cleansing Body & Scalp Polish can be applied to damp skin with a light massage before entering the bath or shower and works to balance the skin’s pH with key ingredients like Rhassoul clay, Fuller’s Earth, and Ceylon cinnamon oil. Pair it with their restorative bath for a hydrating, soothing experience. Allow yourself to soak for about 20 minutes for the optimal bath ritual. Increased attention to hair care has become a major beauty trend lately, and our curated selection of hair products holds something for every head of hair. Timing couldn’t be better as a change in season can often increase hair loss. The weekly use of a hair mask or hair care treatment is important for stimulating blood circulation, in the case of scalp scrubs and massaging, and nourishment of the hair from roots to ends, in the case of nutrient-rich masks. The Oribe signature moisture mask strengthens, hydrates, and repairs; to be used daily on thick hair or once a week for thin or fragile hair. Like many hair masks, you have some flexibility with the application: rinse after just 15 minutes or leave it on overnight.

Face masks contribute to overall well-being by providing a moment of self-care while improving skin health. Our facial care selection covers the gambit of mask treatments with clay masks for detoxifying, hydrating masks for moisture, and sheet masks for quick hydration and glow boosts. Regular use can improve skin texture, reduce blemishes, and enhance overall radiance, contributing to a sense of self-care and relaxation, which positively impacts your well-being. The Aman Grounding Miracle Mud Mask, with ingredients like prickly pear seed oil for deep hydration and amethyst rejuvenates the cells, cleanses, and calms the skin. Apply to a clean, dry face for 15 minutes, 2-3 times a week. Just like the rest of the Aman product range the packaging has been designed to recall the organic forms of nature with sloped sides and vein-like lines that recall those found in trees and marble. You can find a wide variety of treatments with carefully selected ingredients and formulas developed by the best skincare experts, like Dr. Barbara Sturm’s pared-back selection of face essentials. If you’re already following a skin routine that you love, treat yourself to a new nail polish color or scented body lotion for the new season. From vibrant decor to soothing rituals, these ideas will help you indulge and unwind in your personal space.

Your next step is to select your path to relaxation and begin. Embrace self-care, nurture relationships, and create an environment that promotes both physical and mental wellness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
