Hygge (pronounced as hoo-gah) is a Danish lifestyle trend that has caught people’s fancy over the past few years. Simply put, this Scandinavian concept is all about relishing the simple joys of life with friends and family in the warmth and coziness of your beautiful private sanctuary. Here are some tips to introduce hygge décor to your 3BHK flats in Zirakpur.
KEEP IT CLASSY WITH NEUTRAL COLORS
Hygge décor is all about simplicity and serenity. The colour scheme of your house should reflect harmony, peace, and coziness. So, avoid overwhelming your place with bold and tacky colours. Stick to neutral colours like soft warm whites and pale greys. Such colours not only help you relax and make the ambiance calming but also add a touch of elegance.
CLUTTER IS A BIG NO
The Danes don’t do clutter. At all. Hygge is all about adding serenity to our homes and lives, and clutter and trash are counterproductive to our aim of a cozy and clean ambiance. Take out all that is unnecessary and not beautiful. Your home décor should be minimalistic and elegant. Keep a few statement pieces if you want. A clutter-free home makes the room bigger and attracts peace and relaxing vibes.
THE WARM GLOW OF CANDLES
Set the right ambiance for your hygge-perfect home by lighting candles. Lots of them, all-around your house. The soft warm golden-amber glow of candles instantly adds warmth, romance, and friendly coziness to the room. Pick unscented candles in neutral colours. You can also opt for fragrances like vanilla bean but keep it soft and subtle.
ADD SOME TEXTURE
Danes love mixing up a variety of interesting textures and patterns to lend the room a distinctive appeal and character. To incorporate the essence of hygge into your home décor, try to play with different textures like wool, faux fur, cashmere, leather, and wood and patterns. You can introduce these additions through curtains, rugs, pillows, cushions, or throws. You will still need to stick to the neutral colour scheme though, so be careful about that.
CREATE A SNUG NOOK
Pick any favourite corner and turn it into a super cute cocoon of coziness and warmth. Put up some comfortable seating furniture, throw lots of huge pillows and cushions, warm blankets or throws and snuggle up with a hot cup of tea and a nice book. If you can set up this nook next to a window and stare out into the beauty of nature, all the better.
With hygge, the key is to be minimalistic. Remember, however you decide to incorporate the element of hygge into your home or life, less is always more. Although hygge can be enjoyed all year long, its essence is felt best in fall-winter. Blend hygge with Holistic Living in Zirakpur to experience the joys of minimalism, coziness, and wellness.
