Scandi stands for Scandinavian - in particular design. Sleek, cosy, functional and down right stylish. Hygge is a Danish concept based around cosiness especially  within a home. Hygge means finding joy and comfort in the everyday and wholesome activities like reading a good book by the fire.  

The seamless style means it can be incorporated within a variety of interior design styles and eras. At The Fireside Store we believe in the beauty and functionality of every day objects and how style and practicality can go hand in hand which is why we love Scandi style. Add candles and faux fur throws to make your room even more cosy. 

Our tips to create an ultra-cosy atmosphere will hygge up your home and snug sanctuary that will make you want to hibernate until spring. So don’t get the clocks going back get you down and transform your home into a cosy haven.

Joie De Vivre

Think about small touches that will bring you joy, personal touches like family photos can be added to your mantle. Think about comfort foods to get you through your hibernation time! Freshly baked good will give you added satisfaction and fill your home with wonderful smells. If thing seems like too much work, just get some of your favourite seasonal snacks in! Of course, this means a warming hot beverage to such as a chai tea or hot chocolate.

Read My Mind

Take the time to visit your local independent bookstore (of course we love to support small businesses!) and check out their latest offerings to allow you to curl up by the fire with a good book – bliss! Find a “reading nook” by your fire so cosy up, this might be your favourite armchair or simply by moving around some of the furniture for an instant interior update.

Colour Me Cosy

Think about how the colours around you influence your mood. Warm hues such as deep earthy colours always give a feeling or warmth, resistant of your fire. If you are looking for something more contemporary how about some Scandi style with neutrals to create a calming atmosphere.

Bringing You Fire Content

Candles of course create added light and ambience – to safely (and stylishly) use them shop our matchstick holder’s range. Not only will the candles compliment your roaring fire but bonus points for cosy Autumnal scents such as pumpkin spice, amber and sandalwood, cinnamon, apple, and any warming spices.

The Great Indoors

Whilst your tucked away during the dark evenings you might be missing the charms of the great outdoors. Add some nature inside with decorative fire guards inspired by leaves (but minus the bugs and unpredictable weather!) Indoor plants, pampas grass, wreaths and garlands over your mantle will also add some nature to your interior.

So put your phone down (unless you’re shopping for new fireside accessories of course!) and enjoy the calm and beauty of a roaring fire with your feet up in your cosiest fluffy socks!
