Parts were very, very hipster. Although it did make me light candles almost immediately, and I do like having a word to describe the feeling of cozy and safe.

This book was beautifully-designed, with wonderful photos and digital prints inspired by Nordic life. I had never heard the term hygge before picking up this book, and now I am borderline obsessed with it - searching hygge on Pinterest and Instagram, finding ways to make our home more hygge-like, lighting all the candles and drinking all the tea and reading all the books. I've always enjoyed learning about Scandinavian culture, so learning more about the Danish phenomenon of hygge was right up my alley, but I enjoyed this book for what it taught me about hygge as well as what it taught me about myself. I have always been a fan of traditional furniture and decor over modern. I've always hated fluorescent lighting and loved lighting my home or office with only lamps, and wherever I go, I always have tea, coffee, and a book close by. I've always had people make comments about my hatred of bright lights and love of blankets and throws, but it wasn't until I understood the concept of hygge that I understood what I really love more than lamps and reading a great book with a cup of hot tea, is the coziness and comfort that those activities, feelings, and spaces create in myself. The Danish concept of hygge is just that - take as much time for yourself to enjoy life as you can and to surround yourself with good friends, good design, and good books.

I read this book while sitting next to a fireplace under a warm blanket in a farmhouse on an island in Denmark while the wind was blowing outside and the sun was setting and if that’s not perfect then idk what is.
