The Advent season is a magical time filled with anticipation and coziness. At Plantasjen you will find everything you need to decorate your home both indoors and outdoors. Get inspired and receive advice on how to create the perfect Advent atmosphere!
November can feel like a long, dark month between the colorful autumn and all the coziness of December. But there is a way to brighten up this time without jumping straight into the Christmas celebrations: novent. Novent gives us the opportunity to transition from the calm of autumn to the anticipation of Advent, slowly but surely. By focusing on small changes and subtle decorations, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you look forward to Christmas without rushing into it. Novent is a play on words with November and Advent. It is during this period that we create a mood that prepares us for Christmas without taking away the excitement of Advent itself. We don't start decorating for Christmas, but we prepare our homes for cozy indoor moments. Here are some ways to transform your home and create the perfect novent mood.
