Are you starting to feel cooped up and restless? Most of us spend a lot of time at home during the winter months, and with COVID this year the extra time spent at home has lasted for almost a year. It's difficult to feel stuck in the house in an uncomfortable environment and tricky to find what will bring the most hygge to your home while keeping your style intact.  

Hygge Tips to make Staying at home More Comfortable:

add candles

Adding a candle is a fast and simple way to incorporate a cozy feeling into your home. Candles with a wintery scent bring more than just natural lighting into the home. When a candle is burning it can be calming and help someone relax and unwind. Think about burning a candle next time you are looking for some extra warmth in your home. 

integrate natural elements

Incorporating natural elements within a home creates an ambiance that lightens up a room. One of the natural elements that can accomplish this is wood. An easy way to incorporate wood is through furniture. This will give the home a woodsy cabin-type feel which is often associated with a hygge space. Another natural element to incorporate is plants. Plants bring life into a space and make it feel more open and fresh. Plants can oftentimes incorporate a nice touch of fresh colors as well. Lighting is also a natural way to change a home's feel. Having lighting that imitates natural light will give a warm glow to your space. Color palettes for paints and such within the home can also bring this warm effect through woodsy, natural colors.

decoration and design

Decorating can add a lot of depth and coziness to a home. A way to do this is by mixing textures. Incorporating different blankets, adding different fabric pillows, and having a nice plush carpet in the space can achieve this effect. Colors also play a factor in adding a cozy feeling to the space. Try and keep the color tones light so that the space continues to feel warm and welcoming.
