My Hygge Home Quotes

“Hygge is about enjoying the process. About taking things slowly. And looking forward to the delicious results you will enjoy tucked up at home on a quiet wintry evening. It’s about enriching this time at home by knowing that you’ve got plenty of delights in store, ready for the perfect hygge moment. It’s about making your nights in special, and never feeling that you are missing out.”

“I think a hygge home should also provide shelter that offers different types of privacy. Privacy is not only about being alone; it is the opportunity to control access to us. It is not just about separation but, equally, about communication. I believe we all need a place where we can just be ourselves. Yes, we are outside; yes, you can see me; but I just really want to be in my own bubble right now.”

“Plants add life. Books offer exploration and contemplation. Rugs and paintings give warmth and texture and transform the sound of voices into the voices secrets are exchanged in by lovers. Replace the uniform light from above with pockets of light that guide you to the best places. The floor lamp by the sofa whispers, “Grab a book from the shelf and join me.” The green lamp on the wooden desk with the old-school typewriter asks you to come and play. In the corner a globe sends your eyes and your imagination walking.”
