LITTLE LUXURIES

LITTLE LUXURIES: THE ART OF SIMPLE PLEASURE

Our lives are often described by our most defining and essential moments, and despite that, it’s the day-to-day that is more revealing as to who we are. These quiet times house our sense of humanity and our common search for comfort, and home is where it usually lies. Nowadays, comfort has become synonymous with luxury, suggesting that fulfillment requires state-of-the-art appliances or grand homes rivaling those of nobility. However, true luxury can be simple and understated, small pleasures tucked away behind the mundanity of our routines. 

“ Little luxuries are what Hanoia hopes to bring to the homes: subtle ways to improve one’s quality of life without it being too time-consuming or demanding, something you can slip into your daily routine with ease." 

Tea for two

Most of us start our days with hydration after a night of rest. Whether our drink of choice may be tea, coffee, or water, it forms a sacred part of our routine that cannot be unheeded, as it sets the stage for how the rest of our day plays out. Therefore, in order to ensure a good day, it is important to start with an exceptional beverage. There are multiple ways to enhance that experience, as each step of its preparation is an opportunity to improve its quality. 

When it comes to tea, the preservation of its leaves is decisive in its flavor. In poor conditions, it can absorb moisture and odors and affect how it tastes. This is why it is crucial to store it in a hermetic box. But one doesn’t have to sacrifice style for practicality, as even the simplest items can bring a certain charm to a space. Hanoia offers a diverse array of tea boxes in various styles fit to suit every taste, with sleek and simple designs made to elevate a room without overshadowing the rest of the space. 

While tea drinking may be something we relish in solitude, it is also a moment that can be shared with loved ones. Bonding over a cup of tea is a rejuvenating experience that brings us closer, and enriches our homes with memories and the familiar scent of herbal teas. This experience can be further enhanced with a quality tea set, made to feel smooth and sturdy under your fingertips. Its design isn’t neglected either, making it a feast not only for the taste buds but also for the eyes. 

Stop and smell the blossoms

Keeping fresh flowers is another understated practice that helps to liven up your home. It is a habit that is often overlooked, but also efficient in what it does. Flowers can add a feeling of brightness and luxury in ways only nature can and are an easy and effortless way to elevate the look and feel of your household. 

To accompany the flowers, Hanoia offers a collection of vases that thrive in their versatility. They are made to suit all kinds of flowers while still being able to ebb and flow with the seasons as time runs its course. The diverse array of colors makes for an infinite amount of combinations that leave room for flourishing creativity and guarantee an evergreen freshness to the rooms.

See in a new light

One of the most important elements of house decor is the lighting that is used. It should be considered an art form in itself, as it has the power to dictate a room’s mood and ambiance. Especially after a long day, the feeling of coming back to a cozy space is a luxury, and what better way to do that than with soft and hazy lighting? Instead of turning on the harsh overhead lights, one can simply turn on a lamp or two and bask in the room’s warm and comforting hue. It is one of the easiest ways to replicate the luxurious feel of hotels and bring a sense of rest and relaxation to your home.
