As someone who loves to host candle-lit dinner parties, I can easily get into the hygge lifestyle, a Danish notion capturing a mood for coziness and comfortable camaraderie with feelings of wellness and contentment.
To bring more hygge into your life is to embrace time indoors, entertain guests, and treat yourself to warm little luxuries during cold months. Just thinking about this, I want to curl up on my couch with a warm throw blanket and watch movies all day.
Hygge focuses on warm lighting (like candles and string lights), plenty of soft layers (like blankets and pillows), and small ways to get cozy (like hot drinks and bubble baths). If this sounds like something you can get behind, and you know a couple people who would, we created a shopping list that will bring even more warmth into your life.
Cozy homes, here we come!
