It’s heating up outdoors, and the weather forecast says expect it to get warmer. One trick that the Scandinavians do, according to Ulla Riemer of Danish lighting company Louis Poulsen, is they use warm-hued lights inside their homes to help them feel cosier after coming in from their chilly environs.

Lueur lamps by Desinere and Tinge


Origami-print rug by Nendo for Boconcept


Poufs from Make Room


A fabric-upholstered armchair (so it doesn’t stick to your sweaty skin!) in a cool mint print


And if you must have your leather sofa (assuming you’ve got the aircon on full blast right about now!), this cooling turquoise Roxanne sofa from Furniture Club will help you think of refreshing azure waters.
