Ideas for autumn - within your own four walls

Cold and rainy months are coming. Autumn is here and, after the long summer, it invites us to slow down our lives a little and also to enjoy time within our own four walls.

Rainy Window

Autumn has officially arrived, which means saying goodbye to many summer activities. This year it was all the more drastic because Corona forced us to move many activities outside to make it possible. When the weather was nice, this was of course no problem, but now that the cold months are coming, people want to be able to entertain themselves indoors.

Social gatherings with friends, celebrations, cultural events, sports and games are currently possible and safe outside again - always with the appropriate distance. Now that autumn is here, this inevitably means cutting back on many outdoor events for the time being. But that's no reason to despair, because there are plenty of things you can do indoors without any problems. Of course, it depends a bit on whether you live alone or in a relationship or family.

Entertaining children challenge

At least they are going back to school, hopefully without further interruptions. But events at the sports club, children's birthday parties or the cinema are not yet running as they did before Corona - or in summer. Creativity is required, because the children should not end up in front of the television. And neither should their parents...

Fortunately, there are many things families can do together - and all of them are fun!

  • Shopping and cooking together - and as healthy as possible. Now that it's autumn, this can include making your own jams or preserved fruits. Tastes better than bought and puts you in a good mood on rainy weekends.
  • Board games - and offline. Sure, everyone has a tablet or smartphone. But we tend to forget how much fun we have playing puzzles, card games or Monopoly. Chess is recommended for the more demanding.
  • Painting or crafting together is not just for parents with young children. Older children can learn to knit or embroider, try their hand at making small homemade gifts and even create the designs themselves on the computer.
  • Singing and making music - an all-time classic that cannot be replaced by playing MP3. Good mood guaranteed.

Ideas for couples

Those who are freshly in love are probably happy about autumn, because where is it more cosy than for two within your own four walls? Couples who have been together for longer and were used to a varied social life as well as professional commitments now have to make do with fewer friends - and more home office. Seeing the other person all the time can be detrimental to mutual attraction. Therefore above all:

  • Create space and do something on your own sometimes.
  • Consciously organise leisure time instead of hanging out in front of the TV.
  • Going for walks together.
  • Watch selected films together (including talking about them afterwards).
  • Start a project together: How about learning or brushing up on a language? Autumn certainly offers enough dull days for the private conversation course.
  • Parlour games or board games are also an exciting to fun way for adults to spend a nice evening together - and for the very daring, there are also erotic versions that can definitely bring a breath of fresh air to long-term relationships.

 

Who is alone now...

... that's not a problem! Being alone also has its advantages, because as a single person you are free and decide yourself about your own time. The many possibilities that you can also implement within your own four walls include:

  • Wellness afternoons or evenings at home, with fancy bath products, peeling and soothing face mask (no protective mask for once) and a glass of prosecco on the edge of the tub.
  • Finally read all the books that have been waiting for months... or discover new, exciting authors.
  • Plan your own activities - even in the Corona autumn you will find one or two things worth seeing in the area.
  • Integrate workouts into your daily routine at home.
  • Don't devour frozen pizzas in front of the TV, but cook healthy meals from fresh ingredients.
  • Making handicrafts, decorating, making the home a little different and interesting.

There is enough to do - let's go!

Even in autumn, there are many things you can do to make your home beautiful and interesting. The gradual decline of summer activities does not have to be a disadvantage - a little peace and reflection might do us good right now. Time to think about where we want to go. With our own lives, professionally and privately.

We at NIKIN want to inspire our community with tips and tricks for everyday life. Autumn and winter are approaching, especially with the Corona-related restrictions, we are forced to organise our leisure time within our own four walls. The coming months will certainly bring cooler and rainy weather again - that's why we want to contribute with our tips so that our community still feels great in autumn.
