Hygge is the Danish and Norwegian art of cosiness, comfort and general well-being. Pronounced ‘hoo-gah’, the hygge mindset encourages us all to embrace the winter months and celebrate them through relaxing time spent indoors, in a soothing atmosphere.

The ultimate hygge scene includes a crackling fire, the glow of a scented candle, cosy chunky-knit socks, a soft blanket, a mug of warm drink and a stylish notebook to journal your feelings in.

Denmark is consistently ranked at the top of the happiness charts, so we think the Danish are on the right track! Add a bit of hygge to your life this winter.
