If you haven\u2019t heard of hygge yet, you will. The Danish approach to decorating is trending right now, and it actually extends into every aspect of your life. At its core, hygge is about being cozy and content, surrounded by loved ones and happiness. Here are a few ways you can hygge-ify your own home.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Opt for a calming neutral color palette.\u00a0While some current interior design trends may be calling for bright, bold colors, hygge steers you in a totally different direction. When you choose neutral tones like blues, grays, and warm beiges, you\u2019ll probably feel cozier and calmer\u2014and that\u2019s really the essence of hygge.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Bring on the candles and twinkly lights.\u00a0Another way to up the cozy factor in your home? Just add candles. The soft, flickering light of a candle will create an immediate sense of zen in your home, especially if you opt for a calming, earthy scent such as lavender. If you\u2019re not big on candles, try a string of twinkling lights instead.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Embrace cozy extras.\u00a0According to the rules of hygge, there\u2019s no such thing as too many throw pillows or blankets. Fill your home with as many of these cozy extras as you like, and opt for plush, rich textures such as velvet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
