Hygge is a defining feature and an integral part of the Scandinavian culture. Hygge – pronounced Hoo-gah, can be used as a noun, adjective or verb. It has no specific one-word meaning but instead encompasses a feeling of cosiness, contentedness and wellbeing. It’s comfort and pleasure combined, its about being in the moment and enjoying the simple things that bring you pleasure. Our homes can reflect the Hygge lifestyle in the simplest ways, chances are you are embracing it already. De-clutter The main idea of hygge decor is to create a peaceful, serene space that is free of clutter. Mess can cause stress, which is the opposite of the calming and happy way of the Danish lifestyle. Remove things that do not work, hold no function or bring no joy. Focus on function, purpose and items that add warmth, engagement and joy. Light a candle The soft yellow flicker of candlelight produces a lovely ambiance that simply cannot be replicated by artificial light. Lighting a few well-placed candles in your home can really add effect and create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Adding a candle here-and-there will create softness in your room and instantly make it feel warm and welcoming. You can upgrade your hygge experience by choosing candles with scents that make you feel more comforted. ‘Winter’ by White Company is one of my all-time favourites Create a spa style sanctuary Nothing beats a long hot soak in the bath so make it count and be indulgent. Your bathroom should be a place you go to for rest and rejuvenation. To create a bathroom that is pleasant and peaceful, make sure you have lots of hidden storage space to avoid any unwanted clutter. For extra enjoyment, invest in luxury bath oil, candles and fluffy bath robes for a design that is laid-back and serene making your experience as relaxing as possible. Upgrade your bedding Invest in good quality bedding to ensure a great night’s sleep. Egyptian cotton is widely considered to be the best, not only in how it feels but also durability compared to other cottons. For a truly luxurious and opulent feel buy the highest thread count you can afford, typically the higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the feel. Layer on warmth and comfort with tactile throws and cushions which are both decorative and functional. Lighting Lighting is so important for creating ambience, going into a room with one bright ceiling light can kill the atmosphere. Create different levels of lighting from wall lights that are dimmable, to table lamps, a floor lamp next to a chair creates a reading corner. Create a snug Every home should have a little cosy nook to retreat to. Add cushions and soft throws making it somewhere to sit and relax with your feet up and a good book.
