Hygge is the Danish way of life of finding the coziness in simple things. It means cuddling up in a bed in a knit blanket with a cup of tea, having a hot bath in the morning and spending time by candlelight with your loved ones. Hygge is at home, it’s in the way you prepare food, it’s in your daily rituals, and it’s in the way you decorate. And while it’s best known to help you survive a cold winter, it extends to all seasons whenever you seek comfort and coziness.
