How to Hygge your Home

It’s coming to the end of Summer (*cry), which means shorter days, longer nights, and more time spent at home. For many of us, this transition between the seasons can be a bit conflicting. On one hand, we sort of grieve those long summer days spent in the sun with our closest people, good food and drinks. But on the other hand, I personally look forward to the rainy days, spent inside, getting cosy with my favourite tea and cuddled on the sofa with Effie. Can you relate?

I heard about this Danish word, Hygge, which has got me super excited for Autumn and making my space ready for September. Hygge is a mood that evokes feelings of being cosy and comfortable. It’s about creating a warm atmosphere where you feel safe and content, which is the perfect vibe for Autumn right!

With that in mind, here are some of my tips on how to Hygge-ify our homes this Autumn: including my picks for home furnishings, home fragrance, and some tasty treats to enjoy!

Hygge Home Accessories:

What’s more cosy than snuggling into your fave spot on the sofa with a blanket and a good book? Here are some home pieces I’m lusting after for this Autumn.

Hygge Home Scents:

Fragrance is really important when it comes to curating a Hygge home. Scent can be so powerful, transporting us through feelings of nostalgia, helping us to relax, and feel warm. Below are some of my faves for this Autumn. 

Hygge Treats:

There are some food and drink options that can make us feel cosy from the inside out. For me, a warming cup of tea (Yorkshire tea, in case you were wondering!) is my go-to for creating calm. Here are some yummy drinks and snacks for you to enjoy in your Hygge space.
