It was big in 2016, and it looks like it will be here to stay for 2017, it’s Hygge!

 

…What is “Hygge”?

The Danes used the word “hygge” to describe a feeling or mood that comes from taking pleasure in everyday moments. Hygge can be described as creating an intimate, cozy, and relaxed environment where you can take time to savor the smallest special moments.

In terms of design, the concept of hygge has translated into fireplaces, warm thick blankets, soft lighting and varying shades of white.

 

Oh, and one last thing in case you were wondering – it’s pronounced “hue-guh”.
