Create a Cozy Hygge Corner in Your Home
On way to establish #hygge in the home quickly is to create a cozy corner, or hyggekrog, where you can turn off the real world for few moments. Such a space features soft lighting, comfortable furniture, soft textures and a relaxing vibe. “A hyggekrog is a small, dedicated space with a blanket, pillow, and book or journal,” psychoanalyst Kamalyn Kaur told Marie Claire. “It creates a sensory anchor for calm — a physical cue to slow down and shift from doing to being.” Visiting a hyggekrog regularly encourages well-being, calm and connection even for the busiest people. #HyggeHacks
Use Art to Set off Your Sanctuary
#Hygge isn’t about avoiding the cold, says All About the Home, it’s about making the #home a cozy sanctuary from the cold. To feel safe, warm and secure in spite of the snow and sleet, display art on your walls — something to look at and make your space feel lived-in. It doesn’t have to be expensive; display children’s drawings, a reproduction poster, a painting you found at a #thrift store supplied by #donations to ClothingDonations.org or all of the above. Try an essential oil diffuser or a (naturally) scented candle to make the #space welcoming, and have a blanket or throw handy to stay warm. #HyggeHacks
Easy Ways to Create #Hygge in the Home
#Hygge is all about creating #comfort in the #home. To create a #space where you can cocoon and relax, the designers at House Beautiful recommend layering textures and choosing warm tones. Keep plenty of pillows handy in the living areas, and drape warm quilts and throws in natural fibers. Colors should also tend toward neutral and natural, though it’s OK to accent with jewel tones. Soften hard edges and harsh lights with rugs and accent lighting. “To deepen the sense of relaxation, introduce candlelight. Choose scents that resonate with you, whether [that means] calming lavender, warming vanilla, or earthy woods.” #HyggeHacks
Hygge Hacks To Help You Relax
With the busy #holiday season behind us and the weather still blustery, we at the Organizing Blog feel like it’s time to slow down and get some real rest and relaxation. To do so, we’re embracing #hygge (pronounced “hyoo-gah”), the Danish concept of cozy simplicity. We’ll avoid harsh lighting, instead burning candles and repositioning the string lights left over from #Christmas. We’ll enjoy a good cup of coffee to get the day started and a cup of herbal tea before bed. We’ll turn off our phones and read a book while keeping warm in comfortable #clothing and a blanket. And we’ll #declutter to make our spaces calm and uncomplicated. #HyggeHacks
