The benefits of slowing down and enjoying simple pleasures
Hygge, peace, and serenity
- Hygge is a Danish word that can be best described as enjoying life’s simple pleasures. It was created as a concept and lifestyle by the Danish in the 18th century and is now a fundamental part of their culture.
- While the word is meant to encompass the Danish way of life, it also embodies their decor. The main idea of hygge decor is to create a peaceful, serene space that is free of clutter.
- Clutter can cause stress, which is the opposite of the calming and happy way of the Danish lifestyle. Even though hygge is a concept that is commonly associated with winter, it was actually meant to be enj
oyed year-round.

Stick to a neutral color scheme
The color scheme for your home decor should never be too overwhelming when it comes to hygge.
Sticking to a neutral color palette is important when creating a relaxing space. Using pastel colors like light grays, browns, and creams will create a comfortable area for you and your guests to enjoy.

Create a comfortable atmosphere
Coziness is key when it comes to hygge decor. One way to do this is by decorating with fluffy pillows and soft comforters. Snuggle up on the couch with layers of blankets and pillows for a warm place to unwind.
You can also do this by creating cozy nooks like a window bench or a love seat. These make for a great place to relax with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa for some peace and quiet.

Decorate with candles
When you think of candles, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps it’s romance, a relaxing bath or a calm night with a book. These are all things that encompass the hygge lifestyle.
The soft and kind glow of a candle cannot be replicated by anything else and should be used throughout your home to create a warm radiance.

Create a spa-style bathroom
Instead of just using your bathroom for a quick shower in the morning, make it a relaxing retreat. Your bathroom should be a place you go to for rest and rejuvenation.
- To create a bathroom that is pleasant and peaceful, make sure you have lots of hidden storage space to avoid any unwanted clutter.
- For extra enjoyment, invest in candles and comfy robes for a design that is laid-back and serene.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
