‘Hygge’ is creating a positive, mindful vibe, tone or mood in a setting meant for togetherness.
Have you heard of ‘hygge?’
Pronounced “hyoo-guh,” hygge has risen in popularity in the past few years. Traditionally Danish and Norwegian, the hygge lifestyle embraces the true spirit of comfort, joy, warmth and coziness during the coldest months of the year. The concept of hygge has recently taken root across the world and in the U.S... And why not? Establishing a relaxing routine is great for personal well-being. Plus, any environment deliberately encouraging togetherness sounds like the most fun!
What are the best ways to create a ‘Home with Hygge?’
Update your holiday decor by incorporating a few of these elements inside and outside your home for a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere all season long!
wood burning fires
natural scented candles for soft lighting
cozy seating with an oversized throw, quilt or knit blanket
charming or quirky accent pillows for comfort and conversation
house plants for observation, care and cleaner air
hot chocolate, tea, and other warm beverages in oversized mugs
books to read, discuss and share
break from screen time with puzzles, board games and card games
simple home furnishings like wicker baskets and galvanized containers for evergreens, birch branches, pine cones or potpouri
The reason hygge is so special is because it’s as much about embracing the moment as it is the space. The setting and ambiance are only half of hygge! Share hygge with your friends and family this winter.
