Hygge Inspired Spaces: Cozy For All Seasons
Hygge is a Danish word that roughly translates to “cozy contentment”. Hygge is typically thought to be more associated with winter, and that may be when you want your home to be at its coziest, but hygge is a concept that you can benefit from year-round in one room or throughout the whole house. It is the perfect way to encourage healthy living in your home, as it encourages contentment and well-being.
