What is HYGGE?
Danish concept and way of living since 18th century. HYGGE is the form of creating intimacy, cozy and warm feelings in any given moment. Appreciating the small joys in life at the
all times. It’s all about cherishing
yourself, snuggling up, creating feelings of happiness, friendliness and
wellbeing within everyday life.

There’s
no HYGGE without:
• ATMOSPHERE – when you think of cosy and warming interiors, to
create the perfect relaxing moment, the mind instantly goes to candlelight,
fluffy woollen blanket and warm drink, they are about creating a warm and
inviting atmosphere, full of harmony, that friends and family never want to
leave

• HERE
and NOW – the simple things in
life everyday are full of magic, take the time to really enjoy the mug of
coffee you have made, stay an extra ten minutes in the bath to ensure daily
stresses have melted away and definitely savour that slice of cake, whatever
you are doing, take the time to revel in the tiny moments that make you smile
and uplift the soul

• CHEERFULNESS
and RECIPROCITY – enjoy life with
friends, family and your favourite people, test out your cooking skills and
take your creation round to a friend’s house you have’t seen in a while, we all
know that having a good time with people we love, makes us happy

LOUNGEWEAR – with colors to
express your personality, ranging from practical cotton to the softest of
cashmere, loungewear can be as luxurious or relaxed as you personally desire, just
try to be perfect in imperfections and beautiful in your own way

• KEEP FOOD SIMPLE – instead of spending hours in the kitchen, to
create complicated dishes, do things the Danish way and keep the food simple,
opt for something delicious that can be cooked with minimum fuss

• SHELTER – enjoy the space around you and make yourself at
home, pour yourself a cup of coffee and curl up somewhere you can be left
undisturbed for a little while, indulging in bubble bath by candlelight,
putting your favorite photographs on the wall, are all instant mood lifters
whenever you use or see them, each room needs to be a sanctuary to sink into at
any given moment and therefore filled with key items to allow you to do this

• catch a
DEEP BREATH – enjoy the
environment around you and nowhere is this more essential than in the home, head
to the local park for a picnic, take some time to sit out in the sun with your
book and a cold drink to experience warmer days

• take up a new HOBBY
or practice an old one to switch off and refocus the mind – crafty hobbies such
as yoga or curling up and reading a good book for a few solitary hours will
have you refreshed in no time

• DON’T
RUSH – you need to slow down
a bit, there will always be something else to think or worry about, but teach
yourself to take each moment as its without rushing onto the next

HYGGE
is all about using all senses to absorb the joy of even the simplest
things. It's important to celebrate the
simple things in life. HYGGE is everywhere, you just need to discover it, in a
cup of coffee, cashmere bed socks, dinner with friends, eating ice cream,
reading the book, hot chocolate or, of course, savoring a glass of wine. I
discovered HYGGE is very much a part of Danish life, where they frequently come
top in the world’s happiness polls. Wouldn't you like to have a bite of HYGGE
world? You’ll have a true adventure ahead!
