Hygge (pronounced Hoo-Gah) comes from the Norwegian word meaning "well-being". It has been adopted by the Danish as a way of life. Cozy and inviting as if being wrapped in a big hug by your surroundings, it is no wonder this bohemian style furniture design trend is so popular.

 

 

To achieve this look, incorporate layers of textures that are natural, soft to the touch and neutral in color. Warm blankets, soft pillows, sheepskin throws and deep upholstery will create an inviting space for you to curl up in. Faux fur, macrame stools and ottomans and a nesting boho hanging chair are perfect accessories which allow you put your feet up and relax.

 

 

White walls provide the ideal backdrop for natural wood, rattan or bamboo furnishings. Bohemian style wall art remains in the same neutral tones and usually depict nature. Green plants give off the only pop of color to reinforce the natural environment. 

 

 

Mood lighting is an important element in Hygge design. String lights, rattan pendants, macrame chandeliers and soft fairy lights create a serene ambiance. Groups of natural bohemian furnishings work well together.

 

 

 

Consider adding a reading nook. A perfect place to curl up with a good book and a mug of tea can do wonders for the soul. With a soft pillow and luxurious blanket, you just might end up doing more napping than reading!
