SLOW LIVING WITH HYGGE INTERIOR STYLE
ENJOY SIMPLE HAPPINESS IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE YEAR
Denmark is the happiest country in the world, according to the Happiness Research Institute. Because they are constantly surrounded by cold and gloomy air, the Danes know how to "hygge" their lives to make them warmer. This country is also responsible for the Happy Hygge interior design style. Every day, they pass quietly. Every afternoon, simply curl up in a soft cotton blanket. Simply enjoy a delicious, hot cup of tea. So, what exactly is Hygge?
Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a lifestyle that promotes coziness, comfort, and happiness. This is a style from Denmark, a country that is consistently ranked as one of the happiest in the world. This interior design style does not require the homeowner to adhere to any stereotyped design style. There is also no definitive "how-to" guide. Because that bed might be comfortable for you. However, it is not appropriate for everyone. As a result, Hygge is a personal feeling and choice. However, there are some features found in most Hygge-style homes that you should be aware of.
2. Elements that contribute to the living space meeting Hygge style standards
- Let’s focus on scented candles or yellow lights
One of the most effective "mood boosters" is the warm, soft yellow light of candles. Choose scented candles with pleasant scents like lemongrass, orange blossom, and tea leaves for an even more elevated experience. The simplest way to create a Hygge atmosphere is to combine burning candles while bathing or eating dinner. If you don't like candles, you can "cheat" a little by using hanging chandeliers, which will create a more modern and exciting atmosphere.
Gentle neutral colors such as white, yellow, brown, or gray are frequently used in Hygge-style homes.
Reading is a Hygge activity because it allows you to relax and unwind. Danes like to decorate their bedrooms with a neat stack of books in the corner or on the windowsill.
In Northern Europe, where it is cold all year, the Hygge style is often associated with thick, warm materials such as fleece or felt; however, to adapt to the post-Asian climate, look for linen and woven sedge or water hyacinth as an alternative solution. These materials are light, airy, and smooth, while still providing a surface texture that evokes comfort and support. To achieve the desired cozy effect, layer multiple layers of linen on the bed or choose linen for the sofa cover.
Natural flowers and grass are an instant soothing balm that opens up and enriches your soul. Plant small pots of plants indoors if you don't have much time to walk next to the trees. Choosing a variety of heights and types will give your room new life. Furthermore, research has shown that caring for ornamental plants can help reduce stress. If you are passionate about it, you can turn it into a hobby that will be extremely beneficial to your life balance.
Originally conceived as a way to help us get through the long, dark winter, Hygge will be most effective when shared with others. The most common Hygge actions are small gatherings chatting by candlelight or homemade lunches, sitting together to eat on a cool, windy balcony. To do so, you should reorganize your priorities in life and readjust your schedule. Work is important, but family and relationships are equally important. Work hard, but if you still don't feel happy, it's time to look in the mirror.
Hygge is made up of small, comforting details. Begin by decorating your room with your favorite flowers, hanging a photo that reminds you of the most beautiful moment in your life, pampering yourself with a new lotion, and spending time on your laptop reading a book. Soft armchairs, for example. Pamper yourself, make your home a happy place, enjoy every moment, and don't forget to greet life with a smile!
