Light up your space
Waking up in the dark can exacerbate feelings of Seasonal Affective Disorder, or just give you a general sense of malaise. To combat grumpy wake-ups, invest in an alarm clock that awakens you with the gentle light of a sunrise that mimics the real deal. If you share a room with someone who isn’t so inclined to be woken up with a bright light, a SAD lamp can be used throughout the day and can help you feel a little bit cheerier through the fall and winter months.
Candles are the quintessential fall home décor addition and you can never have enough. From pumpkin spice to outdoorsy smells with a hint of firewood, pop a few around your home for a calming, cozy vibe as soon as the sun goes down. Anthropologie’s candles are a splurge, but their variety and potency of scents is always impressive. Target’s Hearth & Hand line, on the other hand, offers wonderful options at a more affordable price.
