Picnics are not just for sunny days or the outdoors. As we’re heading for winter, turn your indoor space into a beautiful and lush escape by having a grown-up picnic. It’s the perfect way to bring a little charm into your everyday routine. Whether you’re planning an intimate get-together with your gal pals or a romantic date night, this cosy set-up will bring laughs and bonding.

The right scene
Comfort is key, so choose a spacious spot – your living room floor, a bedroom corner or a nook with great light. Build a base with soft blankets, rugs or a lush quilt. Add plush pillows, light a couple of candles or use any lighting of your choice to create a warm, inviting glow. And don’t forget your favourite playlist to add to the ambience.

An elegant menu
Go for a simple yet elevated spread. Think a grazing or charcuterie board with a selection of cured meats, fresh fruit, nuts, olives, and artisan cheeses and crackers. Include your favourite wine, champagne or mocktails. However, since it’s colder, feel free to adjust accordingly: warm, hearty meals and hot beverages will do the trick. Finish with a sweet treat – decadent cake, or a few macarons, add a luxurious note and are great for aesthetics.
A thoughtful touch

Create some core memories with your girlfriends by incorporating an activity. Board games, a sip-and-paint, a journal session or wine tasting are all great ways to bond. We love a theme, so consider a Parisian-, boho-, or flower-themed picnic and match your outfit and decor to it. Let your creativity shine through.
Lastly
Keep it low-key, fun and minimum effort. Remember the important thing is to savour the moment and connect with your tribe. Your home can become a haven of intimacy and style even in winter.
