The hygge style
Furnishing ideas for Danish cosinessHygge means well-being and cosiness. This old Norse word has found a new meaning in Denmark: It stands for an attitude to life that focuses on cosiness and relaxed moments. Hygge is more than just an interior design style - it is the art of creating a cosy atmosphere and enjoying being together. Light plays a decisive role here: warm, soft light sources and indirect lighting create an inviting ambience for relaxation and well-being.
The basics of the hygge style
)
Anyone who furnishes their home in a really hygge style is not only looking for an attractive, cosy interior, but also a temple of relaxation and slowing down. A real hygge feeling is created with a positive, happy attitude to life in a cosy, feel-good environment.
)
Simplicity, closeness to nature and cosiness are the pillars of the Hygge Home: a successful combination of minimalism and natural chic. The Scandinavian lifestyle can be lived harmoniously at home with friends and family and furnishing means more than just a sense of style.
)
As far as the colours in the home are concerned, brown and beige tones provide the overall look, peppered with colourful highlights in rich or pastel shades as well as black and white. When it comes to materials, wood, cotton and linen are must-haves in the hygge furnishing style - as are all other natural materials. This is how you live in pure Danish cosiness!
)
The right lighting is the key to a hygge home. Warm white light with a colour temperature of around 2,700 Kelvin creates a particularly cosy atmosphere. For even softer lighting accents, LED candles or decorative lights with light colours up to 2,400 Kelvin are ideal for atmospheric corners and an inviting reading corner.

The magic of the right lighting in hygge style
Warm, diffuse and indirect light is at the heart of the hygge feeling, because it influences our mood and well-being, grounds us and lets us recharge our batteries. In the cosy warm glow of Scandinavian lamps, we come to rest - alone or with our loved ones. The right mix of light sources creates the perfect hygge look: from pendant lights with fabric shades to table lamps with wooden elements, rounded off with decorative lights and flickering LED candles. Tip: The lighting ensemble should be arranged in such a way that the daylight entering the room as a natural light source is perfectly complemented by all artificial light sources.
