Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish concept loosely translated as a warm feeling of happiness.

Here’s how to implement the concept into your home’s design.

Keep It Comfy

Your home should be personal and inviting rather than formal or trendy. Choose decor that you find calming.

Bare Necessities

Strip away all of the clutter and you’ll naturally feel more relaxed and at ease. 

Sentimental Effects

Decorate with a few objects that have sentimental meaning to you. This will create a home that reflects your personality and lifestyle.

Neutral Colors

Shades of white, gray and beige contribute to a clean and soothing environment. 

Warm Lights

Round out the setting and incorporate hygge with soft lighting.
