As the seasons start to change and the days grow cooler, we thought it would only be fitting to introduce you to a design style that embodies warmth and comfort: Hygge.
What is Hygge style?
Pronounced “hoo-gah,” this design style is more than just a trend—it’s a lifestyle that celebrates creating a cozy, inviting environment where you can enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Originating from Danish culture, Hygge interior design is all about making your space a unique blend of relaxation and ease.
Where did it come from?
This design style dates back to 18th-century Denmark, evolving from a Norwegian word meaning “well-being.” In Denmark, where long, dark winters are common, Hygge became a way to embrace the season’s coziness. It focuses on creating a joyful and warm environment, emphasizing comfort and the importance of savoring life’s small, everyday moments.
Hygge Decor Guide: 5 Tips to Add Hygge Style to Your Designs
1. Prioritize Comfort
The first step to embracing the Hygge style is focusing on comfort above all else. Opt for plush sofas, soft throw blankets, and cozy cushions that invite relaxation. In the scene below, our Art Team has thoughtfully incorporated a variety of materials that enhance the cozy factor of the Design. We can almost feel how inviting that plush rug is!
2. Incorporate Natural Elements
Bring a touch of the outdoors inside by using natural materials like wood and greenery. Our Art Team seamlessly integrated these elements into the design below. The use of different natural woods enhances the aesthetic appeal, while floral textiles and natural plants create a deeper connection with nature, which is at the heart of the Hygge philosophy.
3. Embrace Minimalism
Hygge design values simplicity and uncluttered spaces. In the design below, the space is kept tidy and filled only with items that add to the comfort and warmth, avoiding unnecessary clutter. The minimalist decor promotes a sense of calm—and it seems like the cat agrees too!
4. Include Art that Inspires Calm
Selecting artwork that evokes peace and tranquility can truly bring the Hygge design style to life. The pieces chosen in the scene below feature serene landscapes, abstract designs, and calming colors, all contributing to an overall feeling of relaxation. Doesn’t this scene make you want to curl up with a good book?
5, Use Earthy and Muted Colors
Go for a color palette that includes earthy tones and muted shades to create a calming environment. Our Redecor Art Team went with colors like soft greys, warm beiges, and gentle greens in the scene below. These hues not only promote relaxation but also add to the overall cozy atmosphere.
