Now for this space I added some wool pillows. Wool is such a natural fabric, and it really showcases the hygge style with the earth elements. But of course there’s some fringe, because pillows with fringe are the best!

Hygge Decor Tips for Your Home

Hygge is about creating a comforting space. When decorating, it is important to keep things simple. When it is kept simple, there is less stress. Because you feel like you don’t have to always be tidying up and fixing up the space. Below are some great tips in creating a hygge home.

  • Stay with neutral colors.

When creating a hygge space, you don’t want the color scheme to be too overwhelming. Everything added to your hygge space should be something that makes you feel cozy and stress free. Using soft, earthy colors like grays, browns and creams will create a comfortable home.

  • Create a comfortable atmosphere with pillows and throw blankets.

Coziness is key when it comes to hygge decor. One way to do this is by decorating with textured pillows and cozy throw blankets. With pillows and big throw blankets, it’s perfect to snuggle up on the couch. Adding these touches in your home, makes it a great place to unwind and relax. Having a window bench or love seat with hygge pillows is a great way to relax and enjoy your life of hygge. There’s nothing quite like grabbing a book and cup of hot cocoa for some peace and quiet.

  • Decorating the space with candles.

Candles create such a warm and relaxing space. They give a warm feel, lit candles around a fire now that sounds relaxing. All of these things create a hygge lifestyle. There is nothing else like the soft glow of a candle. Candles should be used throughout your home to create a warm radiance. Okay a fire is almost just as cozy! I love to start a warm fire, then bundle up in some blankets and pillows and take a nap.

Create a hygge lifestyle
  • Adding texture.

Introducing texture to your space is a great way to add interest. With a hygge design it is all about simple, but you do need to have some design elements like texture to make the space pop. Warm, natural materials like pom poms and wool to your decor. Greenery and flowers are also a great way to add texture. Most might not think of florals to add something, but they really help liven the space. They add a natural element, that makes the space very inviting.

      For small spaces, I try not to clutter. Choose a piece of art as a focal piece on the wall. Small plants that you can add to a shelf will help
