Hygge, pronounced (HOO-guh), is derived from a sixteenth-century Norwegian term, hugga, meaning “to comfort” or “to console.” Although there is no direct English translation, the term is widely recognized to simply mean “coziness,” and we are all about being cozy, no matter the season– and we love a little extra cozy during the cold winter months here in Massachusetts, especially around the holidays.

Ready to get your Hygge on this season?
Here are a few simple ways to bring the look home:
1) Surround yourself with sheets, blankets, duvet covers, and quilts that’ll make you want to snuggle up and stay a while.
2) Add some cuddle-worthy textures by layering throw blankets and decorative pillows on your bed, sofa, or chairs.
Wrap yourself up in cozy comfort!
3) Pile on lush, plush, softness with sheepskin. Pop it on the floor or on the sofa, chair or bed.
4) A treat for your feet? Yes, please! For maximum comfort, place a soft and cushy rug underfoot.
5) Incorporate Hygge-inspired décor into your favorite spaces
Now we’re ready to get our Hygge on, and from the looks of it, some of you are too!
