What is Hygge?
Hygge is a Scandinavian lifestyle that is also reflected in the interior design. It's about well-being and satisfaction. And it seems to work, because according to surveys, the Danes - where Hygge is very popular - are among the happiest people in the world.
Hygge is about slowing down everyday life, about less stress and more comfort, about minimalism, mindfulness and enjoyment, and about taking time for relaxing and creative hobbies such as drawing, crafting, baking and working.
What is Hygge furnishing?
When Hygge is implemented as a furnishing style, it is primarily about comfort. Hygge furnishing is characterized by soft textiles, furs, gentle colors and warm light sources.Everything that brings more comfort and coziness into your living spaces fits with Hygge.
In addition to comfort, order and minimalism also play a crucial role. Because too much clutter and mess lead to stress. A minimalist decor, on the other hand, supports a relaxed mind. No room should appear overloaded. Choose decorative items carefully. They should have a meaning, make the atmosphere even cozier, and radiate well-being.

- Green plants make you happy - so they can also move into Hygge apartments.
