You may have come across the term ’hygge’ (hooga) in lifestyle and interior design magazines, but what exactly is hygge? Hygge is said to be a main ingredient in the recipe for creating the World’s happiest nation, Denmark. For Danes, hygge is family and friends gathered around a well-set dining table for a Sunday roast and a great conversation. It can also be hygge to snuggle up in your favourite armchair or couch with a cosy throw and a cup of tea in your own company. Even something as simple as lit candles on your windowsill can be hygge. Hygge is about the relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel at home and allows you to unwind and recharge. You cannot force the feeling of hygge, however you can help it along with the right kind of furniture and decorations.

Pleasant surroundings are an important part of hygge and cosiness. While hygge can happen anywhere and in any room in the home, the living room often provides the setting for hygge. In the living room, the sofa, cushions and soft throws play a particularly important role in generating a hygge ambience. Candles, tealight holders and candlesticks and decorative items add a little extra something to hygge. But hygge can also be created outdoors as well.
