My Hygge Home: How to Make Home Your Happy Place

Product Information

The Hygge Home will teach us all how to create a much-needed cozy safe space in our homes into which we can retreat to escape the tough things going on in the outside world. Act II of the Broadway musical Frozen opens with the song "Hygge", which is all about being comfortable, happy, and together.

Scandinavian furniture, lighting and accessories are a good way to start to create the feeling of hygge.Every home should have a little cosy nook to retreat to, preferably a window seat with a view looking out to nature. Adding a chunky knitted blanket, or a faux fur throw pillow can add dimension and interesting elements to your space.

You need to think about what makes you feel cosy and happy, even if it’s something as simple as lighting scented candles or listening to music while you sleep. Candles are another simple, but essential item for creating a calm and cosy space and are welcomed in any part of the home.

A gorgeous guide to the Danish art of creating a cosy, happy home from the internationally bestselling author, Meik Wiking. This word eventually led to the modern English word, hug, which can give you a pretty good idea of the feeling that you are chasing if you are aiming to live a hygge lifestyle. The Ghost and Molly McGee episode "Ready, Set, Snow" sees Molly trying to get the most out of a snow day while her family and Libby stay inside to experience hygge.

If you have a small living room, use small nesting tables instead of a huge coffee table - it also makes it easy for you to create various atmospheres. Where you can truly relax into being present in yourself without feeling like someone is constantly watching you or judging how you act or look. You can never have too many cushions and throws, so mix and match textures and tones together to create the ultimate hygge effect this winter.

Of je nu miljoenen hebt of net een heel erg beperkt budget, dat gevoel, dat hygge-ding, dat kan je altijd creëren.
