It Time to get your Hygge  (hue-guh) on!

10/3/2019

Hygge. The trend that defies ‘inside the box’ decorating.
It laughs in the face of cold, modern and sterile. Our youthful decorators want organic, natural, uncluttered and simple old-euro-world charm.

For so long now we have seen the ‘decorating in a box’ culture. Hence one of my tag lines- “Put the person-ality back in to our decor.” Our freedom has been curtailed and simple personal touches have been eschewed and replaced with a depository of overly curated homes. Just writing it feels stressful. While some people are ok with those formal lines (and thats ok!) most of us want a more inviting feel- a cozy place to feel safe and comfortable with our friends and family.

So even though we might want to move away from the greys and whites I think  most of us still want to maintain a sense of calm and uncomplicated. We might be a bit bored  with just simple grey & white  but adding some soft tranquil tones  will play well and take away the sterile look. 
Hygge - simple, soothing, cozy and warm. The Danish trend that took the world by soft spoken storm...

How to Hygge...
Keep your colour palette simple. Embrace a light but soft background. Then add some rich textured materials and woods. Well cared for compact plants make a nice addition too. Don't forget light, whether it is in the form of candles, fireplace or a string of delicate lights.  From the bathroom to the living room think a cozy place that a kitten could curl up in!

 
Did you Know: hygge means "to give courage, comfort, joy". Hygge was the work of the year in 2016 in the UK Collins dictionary.

So go ahead and cosy up. Make your nest. Winter will soon be upon us and with the cold, dark, days approaching, the simple joy of a lighting a candle and cozying up with a hot coffee and a fur could make a huge difference.
