No Idea Whatsoever About What Hygge Is?
Don’t worry. I got your back. 😉
If you’re already a Hygge fan, just skip this part and start enjoying today’s blog post.
Still with me?
Ok.. awesome. Time to have fun.
What’s Hygge?
It’s a feeling you can’t buy of safety, warmth, peace, calm, contentment, and everything in between.
Based on cosiness, togetherness, and uniqueness, it’s a whole guide to craft a cosiness-based way of life for you AND your family.
To me, Hygge is like a roadmap to enjoy simple pleasure, slow down, unplug, and eventually becoming unapologetically yourself.
How can I learn more about it?
1/ Read the reviews I made at How The Hygge Book helps me to love my own quirks
2/ Request a special invitation for #TheHyggeLounge at https://www.thehyggeplanner.com/newsletter
3/ Buy Meik Weiking’s book by clicking here (Where you’re buying from this link Amazon will give a percentage to WWF on your behalf. I’m not owning a penny nor a compensation by any means)
How do you pronounce it?
Truth is, no one cares how you pronounce it as long as you can experience it day in and day out.
That said, it’s commonly admitted to be [HOO-GA] .
Keep it simple and don’t over complicate the process.
If you don’t get it the first time, no big deal.
Is there a Hygge lifestyle?
YES!! and I mean absolutely without the shadow of a doubt.
Hygge is more than just a list of things to do or have. It’s NOT a decor (see below for more infos).
If you’re quiet/ introvert, chances are you’re already living a Hygge lifestyle without even knowing it. Now, you can model what you’re already good at to enjoy that cosy, comfy, and homey feelings 24/7.
If you’re totally new and you’d love to implement that simple, decluttered, down to earth, eco friendly, and comfy way of living for your family, that’s totally doable.
Truth it, it’s WHY I created this entire site: to provide you the tools, the resources, and the inspiration to turn your life into a cosiness-based living without adding stress. (To get a weekly dose of cosiness-based pep talk, join #TheHyggeLounge HERE )
Where does it come from?
Hygge comes from Denmark (but the word itself comes for Norway). At some point in history, Norway and Denmark were one kingdom only.
For the records:
– the first mention of Hygge is circa 1840 (which means Hygge is everything but a fad trends)
– Denmark is ranking on the top 3 of the happiest countries in the world every singe year!
– the tax level in Denmark is one of the highest in the world. Yet, the citizens ARE full of happiness.
—> Who doesn’t want to model what the happiest people in the world are doing to be happy, content, and joyful day in and day out? I know I do (so does my Great Grand Mother in her journals)
Is Hygge only a decor for Fall & Winter?
This is a common myth I HAVE to bust once and for all. Danish people don’t stop living 6 months of the year. They enjoy and practice Hygge ALL YEAR LONG.
They just adapt what they do and how they do it. It’s definitely easier to have a snow day in winter and it’s definitely easier to have a BBQ outside in the middle of Summer.
Hygge is not stuck in Fall & Winter nor is a home decor.
If you want a decor, ask a professional to set up a stage… You won’t feel better in a snap because you have a fireplace and tonnes of fairy lights.
If it was that simple, everyone would be happy and medication wouldn’t be needed to avoid anxiety.
(If you’re under medication, NEVER EVER stop without a professional help. Asking for help should be your #1 priority. There’s no shame nor guilt to seek for a better health, or a better mental clarity)
You don’t have to spend $$$ to revamp your living room so it looks like a country living magazine cover… and you can show off on Instagram. Hygge is NOT a popularity contest. There’s no mandatory list of items to buy.
You can live Hygge in a moroccan house, a contemporary penthouse, a cottage close to the sea, a tiny house, a small apartment that looks like a boudoir, or a fancy super modern house. Hygge is what you made out of it.
Eh… you’re done with the introduction.

Need a little push to brainstorm Winter Ideas that involve Hygge?
I got your back. I know you’ve got a tonne of things to manage in this super busy period… from gifts finding and gifts wrapping.. to cleaning the house between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Winter is turning you on a home organizer/ event planner/ best hostess… but without a lot of time to slow down and find ideas that would delight your entire family.
Winter may be the peak of Hygge for most Western countries…
Just think about it for a second, it seems more natural to spend more time indoor during Winter, to cuddle in warm blanket, to slow down while drinking a hot cocoa, and to spend more time together around a game board on a Friday evening.
Raise your hand 🙋🏻♀️ if these winter ideas are already making you feel warm & cosy (just by reading them)? I know… I know… keep reading.
(Just for the record, in Spring, you can have the same Hygge feeling by spending more time outdoor, starting a small flower garden, testing new homemade juice, cooking a batch of fresh bread for the brunch wit your BFF and her daughter). Ok… you get my drift.
Having a warm inviting interior often rhymes with spending a lot in furniture, decoration, accessories, and much more… Well that’s what most interior decor magazines will repeat you over and over and over…
Did I mention that it’s a trick you’re too smart to fall into? Ok, just in case, stop listening the people who constantly tell how your interior would be if… or how your bedroom could be better if…
I don’t have an extensive budget and I’ve learned from a very early age to be creative and get the most out of my money. That’s why 👇🏻

I don’t know for you but I don’t have an extensive budget and I’ve learned from a very early age to be creative and get the most out of my money.
Here are my 3 tips to keep your house inviting every winter without a new mortgage + having some evergreen ideas is always great for your budget.
1: If you want your house to be filled with welcoming scent
- think about cinnamon sticks and oranges on a large plate (ideally on your coffee table). The smell is absolutely natural and outstanding.
- think about making waxing tart with beewax or non toxic soy wax and add some essential oil of pines or orange or grapefruit or vanilla → read the label first and be sure the essential oil you’re using is safe to be added inside wax
2: if you want your house to be full of plants:
– think about succulents. They stay green all year long and are pretty easy to manage even if you don’t have a green thumb.
– look for what’s outside. If it’s allowed, pick up branches from your walk in the forest and create greenery composition.
- think about taking courses about ikebana or bonsai (two ancestral form of gardening so to speak from Japan)
3: home stage your environment
– I got a fancy habit and my friends swear I’m crazy but anyway… I’m switching my curtains from one room to the other.
– let me explain: change the light/ get the most out of grey weather….
