The time of year when we close the curtains early and light the fireplace is a delightful cozy time for many. However, over time, we start to miss the long summer evenings and the nice weather. Not to mention the lack of Vitamin D we inevitably experience. Nevertheless, there are a few clever tricks to ensure that you still have the outdoor feeling in winter. What are they? Here they are:
VERSATILE HAMMOCK
Thinking that a hammock is only for the long summers in the garden? Absolutely not! Especially not when you opt for a trendy hammock from Luilak. These hammocks are ethically produced, super comfortable, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. A hammock guarantees many relaxing moments. Reading a book indoors in the hammock with a glass of wine in hand during winter? A delightful way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon. And did we mention how stylish the hammocks are? In short, a hammock brings the outdoors in but also brings the indoors out!
COVERED OUTDOOR SPACES
For years now, we’ve seen the demand for shelters and verandas increasing. Even houses that were initially not suitable for them now have them. Creative solutions are often devised, such as using a garden shed with a canopy or an extension. Such a covered outdoor space allows you to sit outside all year round, whether under a fleece blanket or by an outdoor fireplace. Patio heaters are also becoming increasingly better and more sustainable. Combine this with a hammock under the veranda, and you won’t even realize it’s the middle of winter!
GO GREEN
A final tip to give you the feeling of being outdoors, even in the heart of winter, is to bring lots of greenery into your home. So, not just the weekly bunch of roses from the market, but actual plants and indoor trees. This is not only good for your mindset but also genuinely healthy. Greenery in the house increases the oxygen levels, which is very important in winter when the windows are more often closed.
In short, you can still get plenty of fresh air in winter. Hang a hammock in your living room or under your veranda. Buy some greenery and don’t forget to get a blanket. That way, you’ll get through winter just fine!
