Do you enjoy hygge (Scandinavian cozzines)?

Lonehare12

I’ve recently been reading about hygge — the Scandinavian idea of coziness, warmth, and comfort. Things like candles, blankets, soft lighting, and simple moments in nature or with animals. I find that really appealing and calming. Do you enjoy that kind of coziness too? If so, what makes you feel most ‘hygge’?"

  • I use mood lighting to help make rooms feel more cozy and welcoming - as well as more sensory-friendly.

    In my study, I have warm yellow fairy lights draped over things on the wall in the corner where I sit (around framed pictures, calendars, etc), with big loops hanging down in between. And a vase filled with red fairy lights as a mood lamp for my desk.

    The staircase has blue and white fairy lights looped around the bannisters, whilst the hall table lamp has a Philips Hue bulb, which is set to red. They might make the place look a bit like a brothel from the outside, but I don't mind! 

    The living room also has Hue lamps, with different "scenes" set for cleaning (bright), eating dinner (warm yellow), and watching TV (dimmed really low), balanced with a corner lamp that's set to a warm red. When I can remember to charge them, I also have electric versions of tea light candles (which give the benefits of the warm feeling, but without any smoke), which I place around the room.

    The bedroom has a table lamp with Hue bulb in one corner, again set to red. And a (remote control) galaxy lamp in the opposite corner, also set to red. These make the room feel really warm and cosy when I read before going to sleep.

    I love these, in warm white, they are so versatile.

    Here is one used to illuminate a home made dinner table glass jam jar lantern (decorated with fine nib acrylic pens by Mitoymia):
