Hello Hygge: Crafting Your Cosy Home Retreat

Cozy living room with warm neutrals, textured elements and soft candle light

Who Else Wants A Cozy Corner for Themselves?

Well, if you're anything like me and love the idea of snuggling up with a good book and a hot cup of cocoa, then you'll love what I'm about to share. I'm talking about 'Hygge.' So, what is Hygge, you ask? It's a Danish concept that's all about embracing coziness, comfort, and contentment at home. Isn't that just amazing?

Evoking Hygge At Home - Simpler Than You Think!

First things first, let's talk about colors. Hygge calls for a warm and neutral color palette. Think soft greys, creamy whites, and natural browns — a color sunset to soothe your soul. Sounds peaceful, doesn’t it?

Next, textures. You'll want to load up on cozy blankets, fluffy cushions, and shaggy rugs. Anything that screams 'touch me, I'm soft' goes. Knitted blankets from Grace and Ashes offer that perfect blend of comfort and style. Imagine lounging around wrapped in plush goodness. Sooo perfect!

Let's Get Lit...With Candles!

You won’t believe this, but in Denmark, you'll find more candle usage than anywhere else in Europe. And that’s for a reason. There’s nothing more Hygge than candlelight. Opt for unscented candles or ones infused with calm and comforting fragrances like lavender, sandalwood or vanilla. The candle collections at Grace and Ashes are quite a rage. Place them around and let the warm, flickering light welcome tranquillity into your space.

Connect with Nature

Bringing elements from the outdoors in is another key aspect of Hygge. Think rustic wooden furniture, wicker baskets, house plants, or a vase filled with fresh flowers. Natural, untreated textures add a touch of raw beauty. Isn't it awesome that something so simple can have such a profound effect?

Finally, remember it's all about creating a space that makes you happy and comfortable. Personalize it with photos, trinkets, and whatever else sings to your soul. Can you imagine all that warmth and happiness filling up your space?

It's time you set foot into the world of Hygge! Explore more cozy essentials in our collection to start crafting your little snug slice of heaven at home.
