How to achieve a hygge home

Achieving a hygge home is a lot simpler than you think, and in this post, we are going to explore exactly what the term means and why it has become an increasingly popular interior trend. Interiors and home decoration has become a common interest for many, with more and more interior bloggers popping up to help pave the way to new and current trends.

What does hygge mean?

Pronounced hoo ga, Hygge is a Danish word to describe a state of mind that promotes intimacy, cosiness and joy, those special moments with friends and family, feelings that can never really be described. Being a Danish concept, interior design has adopted the word Hygge for a minimalist nordic style that also has warmth. Let’s continue to learn how to create a hygge home.

Achieving a Hygge Home

Incorporating hygge interiors into your living spaces can be really simple yet transformative. Being a minimalist trend, the concept of hygge focuses on neutral colours such as a beige or white colour scheme with furniture mimicking or made of natural materials such as wooden flooring and plantation shutters. Specialising in Plantation Shutters, The Shutter Studio is able to supply and fit shutters with both white and wood-stained finishes, our natural wood-stained Venetian blinds would also make a great addition to this trend you are trying to achieve.

Once you have achieved the bright and minimal colour scheme, we recommend adding cosy items such as faux fur rugs, and soft-to-touch furnishings such as cushions and throws. Home decor items that are personal with memories that bring you joy and woven items representing that natural element to contribute to that nordic feel.

When opting for patterns, aim for simple stripes and zigzags to really add that nordic hygge feeling. For a range of window furnishing ideas and inspiration, please visit our website or social pages or even pay our team a visit in one of our showrooms to see the products first-hand:
