Embrace the indoors: 8 activities for cold winter days.
With the cold weather well and truly upon us we’re all spending much more time indoors. Here are some great indoor activities that will keep you entertained for hours!
Create a reading nook.
Transform a corner of your home into a cozy escape with a comfy chair, soft throw, and good lighting. Curl up with a book you've been meaning to read or revisit an old favourite.
Start a winter watchlist.
Cold evenings call for cinematic comfort. Curate a winter-themed watchlist—whether it’s feel-good movies, mystery thrillers, or that series you’ve been meaning to binge.
Host a puzzle or board game night.
Invite friends or family over for an unplugged evening of puzzles, cards or board games. It's a great way to connect and unwind without screens.
Bring the outdoors in.
Liven up your space with indoor plants or dried florals. They add a refreshing burst of life during the grey months and improve air quality too.
Light up your space.
Add ambience with warm lighting—think candles, string lights, or a Himalayan salt lamp. It makes a huge difference during darker days.
Practice gentle indoor movement.
Stay active and centred with low-impact exercises like yoga, stretching, or even indoor walking routines. Light movement is great for both your body and mood.
Create a hot drink ritual.
Take time each day to prepare a special warm drink—chai, matcha, mulled cider, or even a hot lemon and honey. It’s a simple, soothing daily ritual.
Declutter and refresh your space.
Use the indoor time to tackle small decluttering projects—your pantry, a drawer, or a closet. Freshening up your space can make it feel lighter and more relaxing.
