Hygge has become a very popular concept across the UK and internationally over the past 5 years, and for good reason, it’s all about feeling good and living well!
“Hygge” is a Danish word that represents a concept of well-being, comfort, and cosiness. The concept focuses on creating a warm and cosy atmosphere and promoting relaxation, comfort and simplicity.
There’s never been a better time to bring a little Hygge into your life than during the winter months, it’s a great way to boost your mood, banish the winter blues and promote wellbeing.
Start off small with some simple pleasures, run yourself a bath, enjoy a leisurely book and pour yourself a hot cup of tea (in the good tea cups!). It’s all about embracing simple pleasures.
Togetherness and community play a huge role in Hygge, so bringing together friends and family to enjoy quality time and express gratitude is a perfect way to incorporate the concept into your daily life. Throw an informal dinner full of comfort foods and warming beverages (the Danes drinks an average of 4 coffee’s per day!), or maybe host a pot luck dinner and revel in the warmth of good food and good company.
You can bring Hygge into your home and work space with the addition of soft furnishings, cosy blankets and knits, soft lighting and warm candles.. you can never have too many candles! Remember it’s not about being extravagant, so take a trip to your local charity shop and see what treasures you can find to decorate your space, whilst also doing good for your community.
The great thing about Hygge is that it really is open to personal interpretation. What brings you a sense of cosiness and comfort, may be different to someone else, but the foundations of Hygge mean you can come together and enjoy all your favourite comforts in company.
Hygge is about creating an atmosphere of contentment, comfort and wellbeing in your life. We’ll be embracing it at Virteffic this winter and we hope you’ll enjoy it too!
