Rhyming with nougat, <strong><em>hygge<\/em> is pronounced \u2018hoo-gah\u2019<\/strong>. Hygge isn\u2019t a design style or the way a piece of furniture is made. It isn&#8217;t pigeonholed by an era.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hygge is a feeling, a way of life, and a sense of contentment. Danes are proud of their cultural identity and hygge plays an important role in their lives. At its simplest, hygge means taking time out from the daily grind, enjoying the simple things in life, and unwinding. In 2017, hygge was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary as it began to seep into the British psyche.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What does a hygge home look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a fan of Netflix Scandi-Noir, chances are you\u2019ve spied your fair share of teak-hued tripod lamps diffusing warm amber light across a room. You\u2019ll have envied the soft faux sheepskin rug. And no doubt marvelled at the flourishes of invigorating bamboo. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/inspiration\/style-guide\/how-to-get-scandinavian-modern-style\/\"><strong>Scandinavian interior design<\/strong><\/a>, the cosiness of hygge oozes out of lush textiles, tactile furniture, yielding leather, sumptuous furnishings, and natural materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, why not embrace hygge and enjoy a more homely, snug and lived-in look this winter? Denmark was voted the second happiest country in the world in 2022. Perhaps, hygge is the reason?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95763\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/zebra-homeware\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-15.49.37-1024x881.png\" alt=\"hygge magazine rack\" width=\"640\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-15.49.37-1024x881.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-15.49.37-300x258.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-15.49.37-768x661.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-15.49.37.png 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/zebra-homeware\"><em>Mid-Century Knitted Magazine Holder | Zebra Homeware<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Elements of a hygge home<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Vinterior, we\u2019ve got a whole host pre-owned <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/style\/scandinavian-modern\"><b>furniture<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/textiles\"><b>textiles<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/art\"><b>artwork<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help you hygge your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opting for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/style\/mid-century-modern\"><b>mid-century pieces<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rather than run-of-the-mill high-street equivalents means that you can create a more characterful hygge-fuelled home. Take a look at some of the stalwart pieces that every hygge home should have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Layer textures with throws and cushions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your focusing on a bedroom or a living room, adding texture to your space will make it more cosy. Think a roaring fire, hot cocoa, lush cushions, and chinky knot throw. When layering your textiles, focus on how they feel. Veer away from rough materials, like hessian, and choose softer fabrics like velvet, silks, and wool. You can even use texture in the most unusual of places, such as lampshades and magazine racks to add to the comforting ambience of a space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Add as much greenery as possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hygge living rooms are often reminiscent of rainforests, they have that many yucca, palms, and Swiss cheese plants. Bringing nature indoors and surrounding yourself with greenery can cultivate a calming and cosy ambience. Houseplants are a great mood booster and can cleanse your immediate airspace. Combining cosiness with mental wellbeing benefits is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meget hygge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95764\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95764\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/areadesignltd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-1024x638.png\" alt=\"1970s hygge sofa\" width=\"640\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-1536x956.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-16.38.26-2048x1275.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/areadesignltd\">1970s modular sofa | Area Design<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>3. Comfy seating is crucial<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The essence of hygge is carving out time to relax. This means snuggling under a throw, reading a good book, and finding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/behind-the-design\/the-history-of\/iconic-scandinavian-chair-designs-to-know\/\"><strong>the comfiest seating you can<\/strong><\/a> to suit your lifestyle. A sofa that embodies all the elements of hygge should envelop, support, and yield to your favourite seated position. Consider a large modular sofa that wears its 1970s velour with pride. Or consider a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/style\/scandinavian-modern\"><b>Scandinavian modern sofa<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in yielding tan leather that can sit your entire brood for winter evening board game and movie nights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Subtlety is key<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hygge isn\u2019t about the grand or the ornate. This Danish lifestyle concept focuses on the joy that can be found in the most seemingly insignificant life moments. It makes sense that this is replicated in hygge interior design. The small things are important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forego the glitzy crystal chandelier and choose a 1960s copper pendant that accentuates the amber hues of a filament bulb. Adorn your space with candles, treasured trinkets, and mementoes that make you smile every time you see them. Hygge isn\u2019t about fitting into a rigid design structure. Instead, focus on what gives you that unique fuzzy warm feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Curate some hygge art<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art should make you feel something. And in a hygge home, your art should evoke feelings of contentment and happiness. Adding depth and character to your space with floral prints, faded antique tapestries, and simple abstract landscapes anchor your hygge vision. Nothing should be a stand-out piece &#8211; less is more. Your aim is to foster that personal cosy space. So, focus on the overall ambience and feel of your room and choose artwork that you love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95765\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/inner-space-interiors\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-17.49.32-847x1024.png\" alt=\"Hygge art for the home\" width=\"640\" height=\"774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-17.49.32-847x1024.png 847w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-17.49.32-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-17.49.32-768x929.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-17.49.32.png 1070w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/sellers\/inner-space-interiors\">Large botanical jungle print | Inner Space Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hygge trend in interior design shows no sign of falling out of fashion anytime soon.
