Let’s begin with, what does the term ‘Hygge’ actually mean? ‘Hygge’ is a Danish word that means ‘representing everything warm, joyful, comfortable and cozy’. It’s all about infusing warmth and coziness in one's home as well as life. Though the term ‘Hygge’ is used in general, it is a way of life, however here we will be focusing on revamping our homes based on the elements involved in a Hygge decor in order to deal with the harsh and chilly winters.
Denmark is considered one of the happiest countries in the world. A deep sense of satisfaction and happiness are core aspects of the Danish lifestyle, making it so content and joyful. Here’s where the concept of ‘Hygge’ comes into play!
Some core principles of ‘Hygge’ include harmony, presence, comfort, atmosphere, shelter, and so on. So, Hygge decor is a way of life that makes one feel content and comfortable in his or her own personal sanctuary, making it extremely inviting and pleasing, especially during dark winters when it gets gloomy and cold outside. Hygge is calm amid a stressful life, treasuring life’s little pleasures! It is characterized by warm and rich textiles, mood lighting, woven baskets, plush cushions covers, cozy comforters, and much more!
