If Denmark’s inhabitants remain the world’s happiest people, there must be a reason, and HYGGE may be the answer. This concept means happiness. It comprises a life style, a philosophy, which invites you to appreciate the small joys of your everyday life. And your home may become the best scene of action. 

Beyond beauty and functionality, decoration has the power of evoking sensations and determining your moods. In our persevering search of happiness, Hygge suggest cozy, relaxing and confortable nooks, with atmospheres where stress is left aside. Ready to be happy? Then, pay attention to the following tips for a Hygge decoration in your home.  

1. Neuter colors. Once again neuter colors prevail. They are warm, relaxing and bright, giving as result well-balanced atmospheres. An oasis of peace at your home.
2. Natural elements. Materials such as wood, stones or plants, and fabrics such as wool or line, supply warmth to every room, making them cozier. They will help you to align with nature and improve your wellbeing.
3. Light. Natural light steal the limelight from artificial light, and being your house poorly illuminated, it is better to opt for translucent curtains and blinds. Hygge commits to candles and their balmy glow at any time of the day.
4. Functional spaces. As important as creating nooks for your own happiness –where you can read a book or listen to music-, is designing spaces for social enjoyment with your friends and relatives.  Think about what makes you happy and go for it.
5. Less is more. If Scandinavian design opts for minimalism, Hygge decoration too. Surrender to simplicity and flee from excesses in your rooms.

Enjoy the simple moments of life and implement these strategies when decorating your home. You will feel better, happier and more relaxed.
