Rituals & Rooms: Welcoming Easter in the ’Blue Room’
As autumn settles gently around us, the Blue Room whispers of past Easters, woven into its walls and furnishings. With sunlight softening through historic glass, this space invites contemplation, warmth and rest. Easter, a time traditionally associated with renewal and hospitality, gives special meaning to the quiet preparations here, honouring traditions old and new.
The Art of Ritual
The simple ritual of lighting a candle transforms the room into a sanctuary of calm. A votive on the bedside table casts gentle flickers, offering warmth and reassurance. On the mantle, beneath the clear dome of a glass cloche, another candle waits, fragrance contained and amplified, ready to diffuse softly into the room. Tassels, with their quiet elegance, add bursts of subtle colour – symbolising connection between past and present, guest and host.
Scent as Welcome
Each Southern Wild Co fragrance is carefully selected to enhance the mood and season. Our Sirens room mist, with notes of lemon myrtle, rose, and native plumbush, harmonises beautifully with the scented candles, creating layered experiences that linger long after the fragrance fades. Scent is a silent storyteller, welcoming visitors and enveloping them in the nuanced comforts of our home.
Historic Threads
The Blue Room carries history in every detail – the vintage brass bed, hand-carved chaise lounge, the antique textiles draped gently. Ink stains linger on the mantle, a mysterious echo of the room’s possible past as a bank manager’s office. Sometimes, I swear I catch a faint scent of pipe tobacco drifting softly in the air, evoking quiet evenings and contemplative moments long past. Each object tells stories of bygone eras, subtly informing the mood and setting a scene rich with nostalgia and warmth.
Preparing a room for guests is more than mere arrangement; it is a thoughtful act of care and connection. In the Blue Room, each detail, from scent to fabric, is a quiet expression of our deep connection to history, nature and the bonds we cherish. Here, Easter feels not just special but timeless.
