When you sit in a comfy chair by the fire, that's>hygge. When you arrange a fresh bouquet of wildflowers on a bedside table, that's>hygge>too. Candles, soft furnishings, natural light, fresh-baked pastries, intimate gatherings with friends--these are all>hygge.

Hygge>appeals to our desire for slow living and shared moments. It embraces beauty and contentment. It's warm and inviting. Hygge>is the opposite of hustle. It welcomes simplicity. Hygge>is way of making home.
