Hygge up YOUR home
Though it originated in Denmark, hygge is popular throughout the Nordic region. We asked Norwegian chef and writer Signe Johansen, author of How To Hygge, to translate…
◆ Welcome to the heart of Nordic living! Hygge is about enjoying the simple pleasures in life, and being kind to yourself and others. ◆ No one ever regrets spending time outside being active, especially if there’s a delicious reward at the end of it! We believe in savouring the joys of delicious food and drink in good company. ◆ Nordic homes are minimalist, yet warm. Natural materials add an ageless element to our design, and that clean Nordic aesthetic is accessible on any budget. Keep it simple: critically assess your living space and pare everything back, focusing on quality materials and timeless objects. Invest in Nordic designs from Iittala, or furniture from Swedese or Hans Wegner.
