Autumn

This season calls for flowers

Autumn is the season when nature's colours change from fresh green to flaming orange and scarlet. The wind is blowing and a cool breeze stirs the house and lifts our spirits. It's the most magnificent feeling when we curl up indoors, switch on the heating, and perhaps even light the fire for the first time in months. At this time of year, the smell of wet paths evokes wonderfully nostalgic memories. Even the rain pattering on the window panes can't dampen our spirits. Instead, it succeeds in making us smile. When the clouds finally part, golden rays of sunshine creep across the kitchen floor and fill the shortening days with warm, glowing light. Let's be honest here: autumn isn’t a season, it’s a state of mind.

It's time to settle down into autumn. To make it easy for you, we’ve curated a selection of floral tips to help you feel, smell and taste all the best bits of the season.

Now that we are slowly moving from outside to inside, it's important to make your home a little cosier.

Hang a bouquet of flowers on a door frame to dry to keep that seasonal feeling as long as possible. For an extra-cosy autumn feeling, create an autumn altar with your favourite autumn flowers and other autumn items. Of course, autumn should also be present on your dining table.
