What in the World is Hygge?

January 31, 2017 by Chris

You may have heard the new buzz word recently and wondered what everyone’s talking about. Hygge (prounounced “hoo-gah”) I’m not one to jump on bandwagons, but this Danish concept appealed to me. I live in Michigan, and we are now on our 22nd day of NO SUN. We were recorded as the “cloudiest place in the world” this week. Yup. The world. So what do Michigan and Hygge have to do with each other, you ask? (pretend you asked)

Hygge basically translates to cozy. In it’s most simple form, it means taking pleasure in simple things–finding happiness and joy in the mundane. It’s a way of creating a sanctuary in your life. That could include warm, fuzzy socks, a brewed cup of tea in a fancy tea cup, or perhaps snuggling up with a good book under the comfiest blanket you can find. You see what I’m getting at here?

Hygge and a cloudy, cold Michigan winter go hand in hand. Hygge is candles, slippers, sheepskin rugs, beautiful lattes, a crackling fireplace, a raggedy old sweater that brings you comfort. Hygge is comfort.

So what does that mean for home decor? How can we “create Hygge” around us? I’ve searched the world (via Google) and brought you some suggestions. Granted we don’t live in Denmark or Norway….but sometimes it feels like it in the Midwest! Want to bring some Hygge to your life? Here are some suggestions.

Articles and pictures on Hygge were so fun to explore. There are several online and in books if you’d like more information, but hopefully these collages give you an idea!

    Being a fellow Michigander I need a bit of Hygge too! You must live on the east side of the state. Here on the west side it was said today is our 22nd day with 0….Yes, 0 sunshine! No I can honestly say, personally, that I have seen a hint of it out our window. But, it didn’t last. Anyway, a nice smelling candle, a hot cup of coffee and a warm cozy throw help get me through these cold days! Have a wonderful Hygge day!

Welcome Friends!
