The term hygge arose from a Norwegian word that means "well-being." But hygge is much more than that; It is a positive attitude towards life, it is pampering yourself, not depriving yourself and relaxing. It is a way to enjoy life with the details and simple things, such as having a family gathering, enjoying the presence of friends, reading a book in the favorite area of your stay or serving yourself your favorite dish of food. It is the feeling you have when everything is balanced and full of peace inside you. And with a little design you can achieve the hygge style inside your home.
«For me, Hygge has to do with being good to yourself: pampering yourself, having a pleasant time, not punishing yourself or denying yourself anything»
Helen Russell
Hygge gives a feeling of home, security and total enjoyment of the smallest things. Hygge has been called everything from “the art of creating intimacy,” “comfort of the soul,” and “absence of discomfort,” to “the pleasure of the presence of comforting things,” “cozy togetherness,” “hygge the Danish-style well-being.” “Sheltering at home in search of privacy or as a means of escape.”
But, how to put this lifestyle in the design of your home?
Recognize what you have around you
Stop, breathe and discover the beauty of what is around you. Make your home an orderly, clean space full of design. With details on the walls, eye-catching paintings, lamps that give atmosphere to the place and rugs that shelter the place. Look at what you have now and value it.
Quality before quantity in your home
Less is more, this applies when it comes to innovative design. Hygge proposes that quality should always stand out before quantity. The key is the use of authentic, natural and genuine elements, necessary and practical. Don't accumulate unnecessary furniture or decoration that will eventually clutter your space.
Natural light in your room
Do not use blinds, apply curtains with airy or translucent fabrics. If your home has large windows much better, this will help the view of a landscape and unity with nature.
Neutral and clear chromatic
Use neutral and light colors. These convey a feeling of serenity and do not overload the place with decoration, giving spaciousness to the space. Apply the Nordic style which avoids excess decoration or color.
Convenience and comfort in space
All the materials you use for furniture, decorative elements and accessories must provide comfort and warmth. Don't forget that hygge is well-being.
Decorate your room with candles
Warm, not-so-bright lighting is key to a relaxing space. The best way to achieve this lighting is with candles with soft aromas and white color of your preference.
Put these details into practice with your special ones, using comfortable furniture, adequate lighting, delicate details, aromas that remember these special moments.
