Temps have hit the mid-teens. The sky seems to have a constant gray filter—even when it’s not snowing. And daylight? Yeah, that’s become a scarce commodity. In other words, we’ve reached peak hygge season. (That would be the Danish trend that’s all about nesting and getting cozy-chic.)
So home beckons. But how to turn those dreamscape images you keep double-tapping on Instagram—filled with fuzzy blankets, hands cradling a cup of tea, and at least one ultra-glowing candle—into real life?
The good news is that there’s no single way to do it. In fact, by its very definition hygge literally translates into “the feeling of being home”—and can be attained simply by doing those things that make you feel happy and comfortable.
But if you’re looking for a little more direction, there are a few key pieces that will help cozy up your digs.
