Dozens of items to bring hygge into your home this winter Winter is in full swing across the country, and the long nights and freezing temperatures can have you dreaming of a beach getaway. But instead of fighting cabin fever, do as the Danish do and embrace the concept of ?hygge? (pronounced, roughly, hoo-ga).
Although hygge has no direct translation in English, the idea conjures up images of blazing fires, cozy cabins, and the most romantic qualities of winter. At its core, hygge is about finding pleasure in small, everyday moments and achieving that feeling of simple Scandinavian coziness.
So even if you can?t afford a ski chalet, that doesn?t mean hygge is out of reach?small touches can take a cold, dark room and make it positively hyggeligt (yes, that?s the adjectival form of the word). We?ve rounded up some of the most hygge-friendly home decor out there. Whether you?re living in a picturesque forest or a tiny New York apartment, this hygge shopping guide will help amp up the comfort factor. A chunky knit blanket:
