Hejsan allihopa! The lack of daylight at this time of the year in Scandinavia can be a bit of a challenge. To put it into perspective, in Kiruna (home of the famous
Natural linen bedding*,
That face (*heart eyes*)
A few weeks back, someone from the Philippines was telling me that they only ever light candles when there’s a power cut!
Do you like to light a lot of candles in your home?
In case you’re not used to candles in your home either, here are 4 ways to add candles to your home like a Scandinavian:
1. Dot a lot of candles all around your home (on every surface you can find)
2. Light a candle at breakfast time to bring a little natural light to the dark morning (they even do this in Swedish nurseries!)
3. Light candles as soon as you get home – and complement with dimmed electrical lighting
4. And a few safety factors: keep flames well away from anything flammable, ensure your rooms are well ventilated.
