What is hygge? It is a Danish word pronounced "hue-gah" or "hoo-guh." Think cozy socks, yummy candles and good books. But it is more than just having certain possessions; it is a feeling and way-of-life that you can incorporate into your home and day-to-day life, particularly in the winter months.

Here are some tips for incorporating hygge into your home and life and making the most of it:

  1. Strive for a Simpler Life

    Hygge is a reminder to lead a happier, simpler life, but that does not mean having a sterile home. Hygge does not require you to purge your home of all your possessions to be happy. Living simply is about slowing down, being in the moment, finding pleasure in the small things and giving attention to what is important to you, which is typically the happiness and wellbeing of your family and yourself. Start by giving yourself more time in the morning to stop rushing, and enjoy breakfast with your family before you leave for work.


  2. Change your Focus

    Hygge is a feeling. One that you get and one that you exude. A few key ingredients of this feeling include comfort, togetherness and tranquillity, and much of this can stem from unburdening yourself from clutter. Many of us find ourselves weighed down by clutter, and we don’t get the chance to focus on what really matters to us. By changing your focus and eliminating the clutter, you can make space for better things in your life.

  3. Create Serene Spaces in Your Home

    At Sencillo, we believe that your home should be your sanctuary, and if it is not, it’s time to make some adjustments. This could be as simple as designating spaces in your home like a cozy armchair to retreat to for reading, or a window nook to sip your coffee in the morning, or a fireplace to curl up with your loved ones and wind down after a long day. Creating these spaces in your home is essential to help you incorporate and make the most of hygge in your life.
