Introduction

Picture this for a moment. Walking in your front door after a hard day at work filled with stress and pressure, you are greeted by a comfortable, relaxing space where you can unwind at your leisure.

Sound idyllic?

Well, the problem is that so many people are unable to do that. They are unable to come home and feel as if they are surrounded by peace and serenity, because they have not created that kind of atmosphere.

That is an absolute crying shame. We should all be able to go home and feel as if it is our own perfect little space. We should have areas where the pressures and stresses of the outside world simply drift away as we cocoon ourselves with peace, serenity, and a calming atmosphere.

But how? Where do you even begin?

Well, that’s where this book is going to prove to be useful. This book is all about helping you to create that very atmosphere. It’s all about helping you to bring some order to your home, creating space so you can breathe, and incorporating those little hints of comfort and peacefulness that can end up meaning the world to you.

This book is all about hygge, the Danish concept of cozy and comfortable living. It’s not about materialism or boasting about what you have in life. It’s more about the essence of an object and what it can bring to you and your life.

Throughout this book, we will guide you on how to de-clutter and de-stress your home and, as a result, your life as well. We will guide you as to how to remove those objects that no longer mean that much or are taking up space and how to create that comforting setting that you have been dreaming about.

The Danes are voted the happiest nation in the world and when you consider that they come from a country that has harsh winters and hours of darkness, then that’s an impressive feat. It’s a feat that is known to have been achieved thanks to the concept of hygge. If it’s capable of making them happy with their lives and their homes, then surely it’s worth exploring.

So, what are we going to do?

Well, there are many different aspects of hygge and how to apply its concepts in your home, so we have a lot to get through. However, there’s no pressure being applied as that in itself could be classed as being anti-hygge, and what would be the point in that?

We are going to take you on a journey through your home and help you to apply the rules and concepts of hygge wherever possible. There are going to be some changes that need to be made, but at the end of the day your home will be far more peaceful and serene than ever before.

With hygge, you get out what you put into it, but the one thing we do recommend right from the outset is that you invest your heart and soul from the start. After all, hygge is intended to help those two very things.

Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for something that is going to bring you a sense of calm that you thought you would never be able to achieve.

Chapter 1

The Basics of Hygge and the Home

Before one begins this delightful journey into ‘Hygge’ and the home, there has to be some sort of understanding about hygge and what it means. Also, one might ask why the world suddenly made an old traditional style of living a buzz word, something new and exciting, something special and different?

The word hygge is pronounced as ‘Hoo oogah,’ and while pronunciation is pretty easy to impart to a reader, the actual meaning is a little more complex.

In today’s world where everything appears to be busier, faster, and more intricate, hygge’s very simplicity has become hard to assimilate or to understand. However, by focusing on the home throughout
