Hygge, the Danish technique to make your home a cozier and happier space

Posted by KHADI on November 11, 2022

It proposes some simple tricks to make a home more welcoming, regardless of the meters it has and your budget.

There is a technique or rather an art that will make your home even more welcoming, regardless of how many meters you have (be it a mansion or a secluded apartment) and also without depending on your budget.

What seems like magic is called ‘hygge’, and it is the Danish art to create a cozy and happy home, and it has to do with what we were talking about before: with the feeling of knowing that we are safe, protected, that we can afford to go down the guard. It is the feeling of home, and for the Danes, due to the weather, home is the epicenter of many social gatherings with family and friends.

The ‘hygge’ applied to your home allows you to create cozy atmospheres and turn your home into an oasis of peace, something very necessary because we are surrounded by noise, especially in big cities. Meik Wiking, who now publishes Hygge Home (Libros Cúpula) tells us in the work that color, light and the space you have can be used to celebrate comfort.

The spaces and places in which we live or work can have a positive effect on our well-being and we can improve our happiness by intervening in that environment.

How? Well, for example, with plants, which give life, and we all know them. With books, which allow exploration and contemplation. So it is not surprising that we have reading corners at home that are also located at angles, in corners and not randomly: apparently, we like a corner of the house (or a specific place) because according to the English geographer Jay Appleton We like to look for places to be that allow us to see without being seen, spaces where we feel protected. For example, the entrance to a cave, which would allow us to control the outside and no one could attack us from behind (unless there was a bear, of course). It is called the panoramic-refuge theory.

But let’s go back to our ‘hygge’ home. Rugs and paintings also add warmth and texture. As for light, which plays a fundamental role, Wiking recommends replacing the uniform lighting that comes from the ceiling with light sources, such as a floor lamp next to the sofa, or a globe lamp strategically placed in a corner of the room. .

If we talk about natural light, the author advises that we behave like cats and that we sit where a ray of light passes. In this case, cleaning is important, since dirt reduces the amount of light that passes through the glass, so the windows must be kept clean. Showcases or mirrors can also be used to reflect natural light from outside.

Un último consejo: si en tu casa hay niños, recuerda adaptar el espacio para ellos. A los enanos les encantan los escondrijos, las cuevas… Si no tienes un jardín que te permita tener una cabaña, no pasa nada, improvisa otros espacios. Con unas mantas y unas pinzas pueden hacerse una en el ángulo del sofá. Y si tienes una escalera con un espacio debajo de ellas “puede ser un espacio lleno de ‘hygge’ para ellos”, explica el autor.

Así que ya sabes, dale al ‘hygge’ sin moderación.
