My Hygge Home: How to Make Home Your Happy Place

Product Information

Un loc tămăduitor pentru suflet" - astfel trebuie să fie o casă după părerea autorului, și are dreptate. As someone who reads a lot of fiction but isn't keen on non fiction, I found it interesting and engaging. A round table, he claims, brings equality and peace as well as a cosier atmosphere since it encourages eye contact and makes both space and time more personal and intimate.

So I love natural light and making home a comfortable place (and reading books that validate my loves - sue me)! That’s a shame, because it sits very well alongside the Little Book of Hygge, Little Book of Lykke and The Art of Making Memories. If ‘home’ here means the place we feel secure and safe, welcome, cosy, comfortable and able to just be*…. I need to get my sticky markers out and put slips in where the phrases just catch the meaning I need, or where the idea has set me off with a small action… and a lot of the inspiration in the book is for small actions, not big renovations… that I know will make this corner that much cosier, or that shelf so much more meaningful. And if you, like me, like to plan ahead, then my Christmas books are always available: Have Yourself a Happy Hygge Christmas is the basic, all round Christmas hygge book, Enjoying a Self-Care Christmas is about taking time to look after yourself at the busiest season of all and is only available in ebook, while Celebrating a Contagious Christmas was my answer to Christmas in Lockdowns in 2020 but might (sadly) prove useful for a few more years to come.

And I just wasn't the audience for the author's corny sense of humor and cultural references (Laura Ingalls Wilder and Winston Churchill aren’t inspiring or cozy to me).

You could probably find it all on articles online but I feel like the studies referenced in the book add to its value. Wiking's most recent book presents a more broad view of Hygge and leaves the concept open to individual interpretation.The book looks at the role our physical world plays in enhancing and helping hygge… and no, it’s not about fluffy cashmere socks and expensive fur rugs at all. The mini stories are quite nice but sometimes waffle-some, if you've already read "the little book of hygge" it may seem a little repetitive in the beginning but it goes into more detail. Hygge philosophies come to life through 300+ gorgeous photography examples alongside tangible design tips that unlock wellbeing through seemingly small yet uplifting home details.
