In these last years, with an increasing demand for comfort and a better quality of life, movements such as Hygge, Feng Shui and Nesting have been expanding. With an increasingly accelerated routine, there is a growing need to spend quality moments in our home and find the peace we need to face the next day.
Hygge (pronounced "rîgue", or "hu-ga") is a Scandinavian word that reflects a concept that, like the others mentioned above, focuses primarily on positive energy and comfort at home. Being aware of living a good time and paying attention to small gestures, creating intimacy with ourselves and our environment.
This concept could basically be translated into coziness, although it is more than that. It is a philosophy of life that aims at our well-being, making our home our temple.
Hygge's recipe is simple. Just rid your home of what doesn't suit you and create a cozy and comfortable environment. Using candles, flowers and keeping the house warm are some of the things that help make the space more intimate. Another idea of this philosophy is to value family furniture to rescue that same feeling of intimacy.
To complete, enjoy your temple, doing what you like to do most at home. Cook, read a book, have a romantic or family dinner, receive friends, play with your children, drink hot tea in your grandmother's cup or simply enjoy the silence by the fireplace. The ways of having fun at home and enjoying your time are very important.
Meik Wiking, author of "The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well", shares the ten principles of the Hygge Manifesto: Atmosphere, Presence, Pleasure, Equality, Gratitude, Harmony, Comfort, Truce, Togetherness and, finally, Shelter.
Danes are considered the happiest people on the planet. During winter, they spend a lot of time at home as they have only four hours of sunshine a day and average temperatures are around 0°C (0°C). Although it does not depend on material goods, decoration has become an ally of this secret for happiness, helping to make the atmosphere more pleasant.
