3 Ways To Bring Hygge Style To Your Home This Christmas

Posted on - 2nd December 2019

Hygee (pronounced ‘hoo-ga’) is a Danish concept that focuses on creating cosy indoor spaces that aren’t complicated. While hygge has only recently entered the popular consciousness quite recently, there’s no doubt that you have experienced the contentment that this concept brings. If you’ve ever snuggled up in bed with the morning papers and a cup of tea on a rainy day, you’ve most certainly experienced hygge. And who wouldn’t want to bring the kind of feeling to their home, especially at Christmas?

The most wonderful time of the year can sometimes feel like a bit of a chore. With so much to do and buy, there’s barely any time to sit back and soak it all in. But one place you can promote hygge is in your home, and we’re bringing you our top tips for creating a cosy, festive environment to your interiors this Christmas.

Texture For Days

A comforting, cosy interior is best achieved with the addition of layers. And, happily, this isn’t an expensive aesthetic to achieve. Think rugs, soft throws, knitted blankets, furry scatter cushions, even a tapestry or two and you’re halfway there.

When it comes to Christmas decorations, the addition of stockings on the fireplace, glass candle holders, shiny baubles and glittering tinsel all work to effortlessly create texture, warmth and variety to stunning effect. To really drill down on the rustic feel, add wooden accents and a roaring fireplace.

All Is Calm, All Is Bright

Another inexpensive way to bring hygge to your home this Christmas is candles! A liberal scattering of scented candles on your coffee table, dining table, sideboard or fireplace brings warming light to your home. And will no doubt spark joy on those colder winter evenings.

If you have small children or pets, you may not feel comfortable with candles but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise. You can still create a cosy glow with soft lighting choices. LED candles can be placed in hurricane vases to give the illusion of the real thing, while floor and table lamps will create a warming luminosity of an evening.

Beyond The Christmas Tree

Of course, a Christmas tree wouldn’t live up to its name without baubles and decorations - but don’t be afraid to go beyond the tree in your decor. Whether glass, shiny, matte or glittering, baubles look simply stunning wherever you choose to hang them and can add splashes of festivity where you least expect them.

If you’re feeling really bold, look to your ceiling, which provides the perfect space for hanging greenery, sparkly things and more for a truly Christmas-inspired finish!

As well as this, don’t shy away from extending the natural look through your home. Wreaths, garlands and trees adorned with fairy lights have the uncanny ability to create a whimsical look that brings the magic of Christmas firmly into your home.
