The Comfort of Autumn Evenings

Once the evenings start getting dark, we find ourselves reaching for the same things: a blanket, something warm to drink and a lamp that isn’t the ceiling light.

It doesn’t take much to make home feel comfortable in autumn. A candle on the table or a softer light beside the sofa can be enough. There’s no need to redecorate for the season.

Autumn at the cottage

We still like spending time at our cottage in the Finnish archipelago after summer is over. There are fewer people around, the air is cooler and the evenings are darker. We watch the sunset over the water, light the lanterns on the terrace and spend time with family and friends.

Those evenings are part of what we have in mind when choosing lighting and decorative pieces for Lumoa. We look for things we’d enjoy using at home or at the cottage, not just something that looks good in a seasonal display.

A few small changes

If a room feels a little cold or uninviting, try changing the lighting first. Turn off the bright overhead light, move a lamp closer to where you sit or place a lantern where you can enjoy it in the evening.

Our autumn selection includes candles, lanterns and decorative details for the darker months. Pick something for a spot you actually use, whether that’s the dinner table, a reading corner or the terrace. It should feel at home there after autumn, too.

We’re looking forward to more evenings like these. We hope you find a few things to enjoy about the season as well.
