How to:
Hygge at Home The ultimate checklist for creating that hygge feeling

It may sound like common sense, but when it comes to interiors, it’s easy to go overboard. Scandinavian settings are never about extravagance, instead they’re all about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that creates that hygge ambiance. This means, avoid any overtly flashy décor and rather than trying to make a statement with one standout piece, try painting one cohesive picture.

It goes without saying that Scandinavians are the masters of monochrome, but that doesn’t just mean you have to stick to black and white. Muted shades from dusty pastels to smoky greys offer just as much depth as well as a softer more subdued environment.

Bar the flickering flames of a fire, candles (scented, or otherwise) are the quickest way to achieve that warm, ambient lighting that is fundamental to creating a hygge sanctuary.

Cosy interiors wouldn’t be complete without rich textures such as luxurious cashmere, warming chunky knits and fluffy rugs and cushions. Textured accessories provide the perfect way to sink into a hygge evening at home and provide another dimension to every setting.

Hygge is really about enjoying the environment around you, so it’s important to keep it personal. Pictures and objects that make you smile offer the perfect refuge after a busy, stressful day; everything that hygge is about.
