Hi from Denmark. Hygge is so importent in these corona times.

I spent my morning with my homeschooled kids in front of a fake fireplace, reading, drink warm drinks, and talking. Hygge vibe's are our new thing

I had no idea there was a word for the way I want my life to be ❤

Lots of low lights in the evening, and a nice warm bath or shower, cozy pj’s, to start winding down for a night of rest.

Hello from Japan. some of japanese people somehow tend to like something about scandinavian. but now I finally found why we've done. their lifestyle gives us time to relax, feel nature around us or face to ourselves. Such time is one of the most important things.

Lovely insight into the concept of Hygge. Living in London where it’s dark by 4pm in the winter means you need a way to add warmth and life to your home through the cold winter months. Christmas lights and decorations are great to lift you in December but the other months you need candles, a fireplace, fairy lights, soft blankets, warm woollen socks, evergreen branches with berries, pine cones, mugs of hot chocolate, warm baked pastries, a table laden with hearty food and surrounded by your loved ones .... everything Hygge. There a reason the Danes are amongst the happiest people.

Hi, I work at a community college in Northern Minnesota and we will be doing a De-Stress Fest for our students in December to help prepare them for finals week. One of the things we try to share with our students is self-care and overall well-being tips. We will be sharing information on hygge and some tips on how to make their homes hyggelig. I absolutely love your video and was wondering if you would be ok with us streaming it in our student lounge, that we call The Lodge. We have a monitor above the fireplace and I think your video would be perfect to show. Thank you!

I’ve been Hygge-ing my entire life and didn’t know it. I just kept calling it “cozy time”. I did find out on my Ancestry DNA that I’m part Norwegian. I have little night lights everywhere, cozy blankies, LOVE my chai tea in the morning and always feel more peaceful when things are tidy (although I’m not as good at that part). I’m so glad there is a name for this. Nobody else in my family gets it.

This is Hygge for me as an artist, as well as candlelight, snuggling under a throw blanket and reading, and listening to easy-going music. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I wish you a Hygge day!

I was actually thinking about this...and I came to the conclusion that, since hygge is more of a concept than anything else, it would apply to whatever it is that makes you feel comfy, really. e.g: the equivalent of warming up in winter, is cooling off during the summer, so, a big window, with a nice view ideally, that allows the wind to run through the house, and a refreshing cold beverage, and the scent of flowers floating in the house ...that all feels very hygge to me.

Love your video. It isn't easy for me to make a hyggelig life but I try. I had a salt lamp but where I live it's soooo humid that it actually melted! The only way to keep it from melting would've been to keep it on 24/7. But I love candles and I have a lot and light a lot every night. (I put them out before bed.) I like essential oil burners too but they give our cat asthma attacks so I can't use them, I use incense. And I would so love to have a warm and cosy house with lots of blankets, sofas and cushions, but our cat also pees everywhere and he especially loves to pee on any kind of fabric (blankets, cushions and even the sofa). He's scheduled for an operation soon, hope that operation will temper his hormones down and he won't feel so compelled to mark everywhere and then we can have blankets and cushions again.

Hygge sounds like a similar philosophy to Feng Shui - which I have practiced for over 27 years now. Both recommend have a clean and clutter free environment, both seem to rely on the element of "fire". If you like Hugge, you'd probably really enjoy Feng Shui.
