How to Create a Winter Sanctuary With “Hygge” — The Danish Concept


Did you know that Denmark is the happiest country in the world? One might as how they do that? How are the constituently the happiest country in all of the world? Of course, there are many factors to this, but one factor my be the concept of “Hygge”.

Hygee (pronounced hue-gah) is a Danish concept and word that means “a feeling or mood that comes from taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary, every day moments more meaningful, beautiful, or special”. You can apply this concept in your very own home, or in other places in your life.

For instance, interior specialists Baytree Interiors help people personalize their homes in order to fit in with this concept. Rustic materials, cozy textures throughout the home, soft furnishings, and a simple, neutral colour scheme keeps the home looking like a soft, winter wonderland. In this way, you can bring the little joys of winter right into your home. By doing that, you can appreciate the little things about winter and the cold (something the people living in Denmark are quite used to), and thus apply Hygge.

Another way to help bring in some winter appreciation into your home is considering the lighting. Using lamps and candles — especially in the evenings — can help bring a beautiful ambiance into the home that you can’t get from most overhead lighting.

On top of bringing this concept into your personal home, can also do this for a wedding! Garden weddings can be great, and if it’s too cold in the inter, you can bring the concept inside. With rustic furniture that brings the aspects of the cozy winter inside to your reception or wedding ceremony. Soft lighting from candles helps, too, bring in the warm atmosphere from the cold. A wedding colour scheme that includes pale colours, or red and green to remind you and your guests about the beautiful world that is right outside the exit doors. With blankets, or cloth gloves for your wedding favors, too. All of these things can help bring in this feeling, and create even a more relaxing, romantic atmosphere.

Hygge is all about using the little things in life to bring more joy into your life and the life of the people around you. What do you think? Do you like the concept of Hygge? Do you plan to try to use it in your own home, or maybe at something like a big wedding? Whatever you do, just remember to invest effort in to what you already have.

Your bathroom is where you come to take relaxing baths, spend hours when ill and stare at that same ugly tile for half an hour as you get ready in the morning. That’s why bathroom renovations rival kitchen renovations on home makeover lists. Here are four common mistakes people make when renovating their bathroom. Spending Too Much How much is too much when you are renovating a bathroom?
