The Danish word Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) is currently the hip word of the moment as we head in to the winter months ahead. The closest definition in the english language is warmth and cosiness.

Denmark was voted the Happiest country in the world this year, and we can’t help feeling its down to Hygge. The Danes are kings and queens of creating warmth and coziness within their homes, so lets take their cue in winter months ahead.

As the nights draw in and we head in doors to seek comfort and spend time with the ones we love. It’s the perfect time to prepare our homes and get them ready for the festive months ahead and creating that “Hygge” feeling.
