My Hygge Home: How to Make Home Your Happy Place

Product Information

I was watching a Masterclass cooking show that Alice Waters had made. She talked about centerpieces for the table and how important they are to create a beautiful environment. No matter your budget (or room size!), you’ll be able to find a selection of candles that fits your space. A gorgeous guide to the Danish art of creating a cosy, happy home from the internationally bestselling author, Meik Wiking.

Blankets and throws are a must in any hygge home. Snuggling under the covers on the couch, in your favorite chair, or bed is one of life’s greatest pleasures when there’s a chill in the air.I can’t imagine a hygge home that’s not filled with books. Whether it’s cookbooks, novels, or memoirs you collect – they are treasures that should take center-stage in your home. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age and not employees of The Penguin Publishing Group or Garden Trading, their immediate families or anyone else connected with the promotion or business. They are items you have in your hygge home that leave you feeling pampered. We all deserve to be spoiled. Often we forget to give ourselves those simple indulgences. In this week’s Big Happiness Interview, we chat with Meik about how to create a home that brings you joy. It’s mid-November and I live in Newfoundland, Canada. Winter is right around the corner, and the Almanac’s predicting it’ll be a cold and snowy one.

You can add personal elements that evoke a cherished memory, a certain color scheme, or cozy blankets. You can also choose calming and peaceful activities to partake in within your home. Lighting is one of those things that is overlooked when decorating a home. It’s one of the most important elements when you’re looking to create a cozy home.
