The mysterious word hygge has Danish origins and is translated as happiness, joy, “coziness”. In other words, it is the happiness of living in a cozy home, and each of us can create happiness for ourselves with our own hands, by properly decorating the interior and choosing the necessary decorative items for the “hygge” feeling: paintings, textiles, statues, flowers, etc.

HYGGE STYLE FOR COZY HOME
The hygge style in the interior, its enveloping ambience of warmth and peace is suitable for any weather outside, but in the cloudy off-season or winter period they are simply irreplaceable. Hygge interior is not so much material components as it is the atmosphere: the closeness of loved ones, the feeling of home, of being isolated from the bustle of the world and immersion in serenity and peace. Interest in this way of life and thoughts is growing day by day, especially among people whose life is busy and hectic.
To understand the Scandinavian style philosophy, you need to know the climate and character of Scandinavians. Their working hours are short, the climate is harsh, winters are long, and summers are cool, which means that people spend most of their time at home surrounded by their families. In addition, environmental friendliness is an integral part of the hygge philosophy, therefore natural materials are used in the decoration of the premises: wood, stone, leather, ceramics, skins. Hand-made products have a special place in the hygge interior. Worn leather or suede, wood and metal are a unique hygge trend.
Due to the scarcity of sunlight, natural light shades prevail in the design of the room. With their restraint, they set the overall style of charm and peace. The color of the walls in such a room is a pastel palette. It is possible to introduce more saturated single accents, such as paintings made in deep natural colors: dark blue, the color of mature greenery or wine burgundy with the addition of white and pleasant light gray.
The most popular color in the Scandinavian style is definitely white. The fact is that warm shades of colors absorb light, which is already insufficient, and cold shades reflect it. As a result, the space itself is filled with light and visually expands.
Living room in hygge style
The concept of hygge in the living room is restraint and comfort. That is why a cozy sofa of simple shape surrounded by knitted blankets and colorful pillows, as well as a large painting above the sofa, which depicts a unique Scandinavian landscape - sea or mountains - will become the heart of your hygge living room.
Love for pillows of various shapes and sizes is also a distinctive feature of northern interiors. Square or round, shaggy or smooth, plain or colorful - you choose. A special charm is added to the interior by paintings, regardless of size - large or small - harmonizing with the colors of the textile decor.
