How to Be Cozy at Home | Hygge Tips + Ways to actually enjoy winter & live the Danish way 🕯️

[@amandaknight1406]

I still live with my parents, and while I am grateful to them getting cozy is not the easiest when they are around. So I bought my own electric kettle and a pretty sugar container to create a tea corner in my bedroom. It’s been wonderful to be able to create the cozy atmosphere and make my room a sanctuary for myself and my cats.

[@camilapiccolo-lawrance4420]

I love this! Even reading this comment made me feel cosy!

hi from rainy chilly Austin Texas.... moved back with my parents after covid. they're 80, readjusting has been a struggle. thank you for the cute idea!

[@livewithmanon6443]

It's still september now, i bought a few fall decorations and scented candles. I love lighting my candles, sit in bed, sip tea and read a book. In september my winter depression also starts to bloom up so making it cozy already helps with that

My 72 year old mom who lives alone usually loses interest in the videos I share with her on KZbin. Yours was the first where she stayed plugged in and she told me she was inspired to cozy up her home. She gets lonely often and said this made her feel so much better. 😭🤗 Thank you!!!

As a Dane, I make sure to hygge daily. My favorite kind of hygge, is when I make a cup of cocoa, grab a new book or my iPad, cozy up under my double duvet, turn on my nightlights and just embrace the feeling of warmth. Hygge is so important to me personally, and I plan to go home and hygge like at work and stuff, to keep sane and happy. Hygge is like self love, and it’s awesome

[@melissar6365]

It’s always sad for me when the holiday decorations come down and we’re just left with dark, cold winter days. I’ve heard about hygge for a while, but this winter I’ve really needed it and have made a conscious effort to incorporate it more. I think on some level, I’ve always done it, but I’m learning more and trying new things. I’ve really gotten into teas and I’ve decorated with lots of creams & winter greens, logs, candles, blankets...the whole winter wonderland theme and feel. I do prefer the evenings but I’ve recently started in the morning, too. I wake when it’s still dark, so I’ll listen to a meditation and then start to get ready for the day. Instead of the bright overhead light in my bathroom, I use a nightlight and put soft, gentle music on while I shower using handmade soaps or aromatherapy body washes for energy, stress, relaxation, etc. Then, I’ll head down to make coffee in a very plush robe and slippers. I try to take this time just for me and ease into my day. I’ll sit and enjoy my coffee (or tea) on my loveseat with my trusty feline, and watch all the beautiful, different birds come to my bird feeder for their morning breakfast. After that, it’s time to think about the day ahead and looking forward to coming back home and getting cozy again. On non-work days, I like to write letters and cards to send out to friends. By March, I’ll switch out the greens for spring florals and start a brand new season of comfort. Thank you for so many more suggestions for a happy hygge season!

[@rachellv778]

I feel the same way! I always feel like the odd one out because the summer months are the longest and most draining to me.

[@fionamclean6533]

I used to feel that way about summer so i decided i would romantize it for me. I now change my home decor a bit to cottons (sheets, gingham, floral curtains, lace curtains, light and airy vibe), i bought kimonos and cute pjs, i spray rose, lavender, citrus smells, have a fan (with ribbons to blow ou) near my lacy curtains (i spray them with rosewater too), i drink fruit and herb infused waters (and ice cubes with same), eat fruit, have flowers, and sit in garden under a parasol, oh and set a breakfast table outside. Lots more but they're the main ones that come to mind. Relaxed and laid back is the best way to enjoy summer. I 'glam' each season but summer has changed so much for me now. I hope some of the ideas might help you.

😌 Lately I’ve actually been filling my room with tons of warm browns and oranges, I’ve also been decorating with stuff from outside, and thrifting my books and clothes. I light candles everyday and play classical music haha. ughh I love this way of life. ❤️☺️

[@jessicasmith9117]

Every once in a while I still make blanket and pillow forts to cozy up in & read or watch a classic movie like when I was a kid. It makes me think of creatures like squirrels nestled inside a tree (lol). Ahhh…cozy vibes! 🐿 I also have a special tea cup I use in the evenings 🫖

As a second generation Dane on both sides, it’s been great to see these humble yet rewarding practices becoming so popular here in the States. I learned several over the years from my grandparents, mostly by example. Snug memories of love & happiness never to be forgotten. Thanks so much for sharing, Desi! 🇺🇸🇩🇰

[@scandiclinda]

We have Hygge in Norway too. It's all about grounding, relaxing and living in the moment. It can be at home, alone or with family, in the forest, hiking or relaxing under a tree, it can be in a cabin, by the sea or wherever makes you feel whole. Thank you for a nice video 🫖🕯️

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

I'm so glad this is a new movement in our culture. So many people are trying to find perfection and entertainment outside of their homes. I've been living this way for over thirty years and find so much inspiration in vintage and antique items and seeing there value when much of our society wants the next best plastic thing. It's funny how we have to be reminded of self care. I have a house full of thrifted items and it makes things so much calmer for me as a mom. If my son accidentally breaks something I know I only bought it for a couple dollars. Our furniture has a cozy, plop yourself and stay feeling. My husband and son LOVE being home and constantly tell me how much they love the home I've made for them. We don't have the next Target home decor everyone else has and I love that.

[@alyssiaknighton]

I literally could cry watching your videos. They are so warming, welcoming and such a feel good experience. I also wanted to just let you know how much you have brought me back to life. Seeing you enjoy life at such a simplistic level has made me realize how much I was missing with my life being so chaotic and being lost in my depression. I think social media is filled with perfection and expensive things and lifestyles. Your videos reminded me to enjoy the little things and incorporate passion back to my life...even if that's as simple as reading every night or going out in nature. I mean I started journaling again, writing and even started learning French. I know that was a TMI comment but I just wanted to let you know the major positive effect you have had on me and my life. I love you for it 💕 Thank you!

[@ruleyourfitness]

Starting my day with warm oats, a tsp of sweet cinnamon ( a gentle version of the usual one) and a drizzle of honey warms me up inside and radiates heat to embrace the cool air of fall and winter, love it :)

For fireplaces: I play 10 hour long videos of fireplaces on KZbin on my TV. Doesn’t give me the warmth but it gives me the sound and soothe of the images

I would love to see a collaboration video between Desi and Rachel Maskey!

[@lykkemarieofficial]

I looooove this video! but I just wanna say, as a dane and therefore expert on hygge, that hygge can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes hygge is everything this video showed us, but other times hygge is literally sitting on a plastic chair, in the sun, listening to music and having a few drinks with your friends. Hygge is so versatile and you'll only really know if you're experiencing hygge, when you're in that present moment and thinking to yourself: I feel good

Sitting down and letter writing is also a relaxing one for me.

[@whiteedk]

Danish woman here 😃 I love how you do it, and think foreigners really try, but still dont get all the nuances of hygge. It is often portrayed much more Aesthetic than the danish hygge is, because we have it on the inside, in our soul. I often see the things in this video, but not that much the hyggelig term. Like a hyggelig aunt you really enjoy spending time with, but not a person in a knitted sweater that lights candles everywhere and drinks tea. But Just because she is a person you enjoy being around. Or that hygge also can be watching children’s tv with our kids in th morning in your way to messy house, or eating a cookie, or watching KZbin ect. It is all about doing something that makes you happy for a second in this crazy world

[@sekaihatsu]

Thank you so much for this video! I struggle with mornings. I am not and never have been a morning person. In the last 7 months since adopting my kitten though, I've had to get up before I wanted to to feed her (they're dusk and dawn predators you know) and though I go back to bed, I end up waking up earlier than I had before having her. I don't have much of a head on my shoulders before noon but I've tried to have something mildly productive to do before the rest of the family wakes up. Then I find your video and I think this is what I want to work towards. A cozy morning where I can bask in the quiet with just the morning light in my room and let my mind and body come to wakefulness.

[@Qu33nHUDDY]

We have 2 very young toddlers and winter came early for us. With our heater going out several times and the babies getting cold really easily when we go outside it's been hard to find our sense of coziness. I've found in the past few days that sharing a baked good as a family, dancing in the candle light, and cuddling up on the couch with our girls has helped a lot. The heater was fixed yesterday, and we still turned it down to be a bit chilly in our house to have an excuse to cuddle up as a family and shower our girls in kisses, cuddles, and hugs.

[@equestriancrazykate517]

What makes me feal cozy is in the spring, on a stormy, rainy night, pushing my bed up to the window opening it listening to the rain, and thunder, drinking tea and reading a good book. then when I'm done, I lay down and fall asleep with the rain hitting my face. 😊😊

Lovely video as always. As a Dane I always find it funny to see this hygge-trend spread. Hygge really is a wonderful feeling. I am so happy that this trend makes people more aware of that feeling in their daily life. But it is not as complicated as it often sounds. Or maybe I just see it like that because I always have made it my goal to hygge as much as possible and it comes rather easy to me. But your videos are always hyggelige!

I started engineering school in 2016 so I basically missed the entire hygge craze in the U.S., but lately I've been reading The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking and it has totally inspired me to start implementing parts of the hygge lifestyle into my own life! I've been lighting candles and reading books and just generally being more mindful in my everyday tasks. I appreciate how these daily things that used to be monotonous have become more rewarding and enjoyable. Since we've all spent so much time cooped up inside over the last year, I definitely think it's important to make your at-home surroundings as cozy and warm as possible.

[@rokketaipei3573]

Hi Desi! As a Dane I can fully support everything in your video as HYGGE! Excellent suggestions to brighten up the dark months. I myself am a big fan of ASMR (Harry Potter and rainy study sessions mostly), candles and hot beverages. My dream is to one day have my own fireplace, so that I can sit in front of it and drink hot chocolate while reading Dracula. I was thinking of things to add to the hygge-list, and the only thing I can think of is to use the word hygge as a verb "to hygge". It is something we say like, "hey what are you doing?" "I am hygging". Haha terrible to try and bend the word in an English manner, but you get the idea. So you actually state that that is what you are doing. And also, if you are with a friend and you don't know what to do and have nothing planned, you can say "let's just hygge" - and then you both go into the hygge-mode. I hope this suggestion made sense! Thanks for a hyggelig video and "hyg dig!"

Really appreciate much of your nature, it's much of mine...still I have plans to splash the colors of the season in my room and gathering those small treasures in thrifting that are waiting for someone like me to bring em' home.

Love it!!! Another thing I do with my lamps to make it extra cozy is to make sure the bulb is a “warm” tone and use dimmers. I even have dimmers in all my big lights as well! It’s such a game changer to up the coziness and warmth ❤️

i dont know why but this video made me cry. i just could relate to the things you were saying sooooo much and you talk so truly and caringly and i really felt that love as if you were right here with me huging me . thank you sooo much

This is such a timely video. We all need to view our lives in a romantic or hygge way. The cozy feeling of the simple life is where we all need to get back to. In the real-life even if we live it through books or movies we recreate our own reality which is what I do as well. It keeps us sane. This is another one of your wonderfully warm, and charming videos which I will never tire of. Thank you once again.

Rewatching and loving this all over again!

I really like her. She looks happy to be alone. I love her hair the most.. 😍

What makes me feel cozy is starting a journal, kinda a junk type of journal that I only write a little bit in each day and scrapbook a little in it. It's a fun craft I've been excited for each day, kinda like the tea cup thing you mention.

I love going on winter walks on the trail by my house and taking in every little detail of the trees. It's also an off-leash dog area, so if I'm lucky, I get to pet some cute dogs! Going on these walks helps me to feel calm as I'm surrounded by God's beautiful creation.

[@DarlingDesi]

That warms my heart!! Thank you so much 🧡✨ If I can make someone feel cozy and happy for just a few minutes out of the day, my job is done 🙏🏻 I hope you have a fantastic week, friend!

My thing to get lost in is watching your videos with a cup of tea ♥

[@janej3883]

Hello, just wanted to say how much I loved this video. I needed it right now! It was so calming and now I have an idea of what I am going to do to start introducing more Hygge into my life. I'm going to watch this first thing tomorrow morning to get me in the mood, and away we go! One thing I struggle with is studying, so I know if I romanticize it, that would help a lot. Maybe going on a walk and taking some reading with me. Lighting some candles and making tea to drink while I do schoolwork. A few of my favourite things to get lost in are books or letter writing.

[@punkndoll5357]

You are such a beautiful, radiant soul. Your ebullience makes me feel optimistic in these dark times and I get compelled to say it-I actually shed several tears seeing your joy and enthusiasm because it made me feel hope, and I’ve been going through a rough spell. Your videos really resonate with me and I just wanted to thank you for helping someone lost feel a little better. I wish you love and light ❤️

[@travel_nature_and_life]

I truly agree about the importance of colours !

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

New here. Learning about Hygge. I smiled at all of the books stacked on the floor.

[@wendygreene]

I recently looked into hygge to help me get through our crazy-long WNY winters and I realized I've already been doing it! Cozy socks, hot cocoa, soft lighting...the only thing I added this year is taking my dog on walks through the woods. It adds 'something' the feeling of hygge to go out into the cold, snowy woods and then come home and warm up with all of my cozy items!🤗 I love this video and I've subscribed to your channel because it's exactly what I've been looking for! I love your autumnal, cottage, cozy vibes! Thank you!

[@storyliker7428]

I love winter and it's the time of the year that I am in love with😊

[@peca1n]

Only found your channel yesterday but so glad I did. Your content makes me smile. Your imagination appears to work in similar ways to my own. Stop, listen to the birds, bake gingerbread and relax to the crackle of logs on the fire...bliss!

[@avalonwatchingvideos2683]

I am so addicted to ambience videos XD I put them on while I read and it just enhances the experience for me so much? Lately I've been reading LOTR so I put on Shire ambience videos and it is *chefs kiss*

[@DarlingDesi]

Omg same! I literally just finished The Hobbit this morning. I’d been putting on the Shire ambience videos as well! So perfect to listen to while reading 👌🏻

[@anwesadas25]

16:21 yes, you're right.. my exams start today... For some reason, I can't feel that usual anxiety I always have.. maybe it's because of quarantine.. maybe cos I learnt to loosen up.. I don't know.. but this is probably the perfect way to embrace a warm life.. I always imagined myself in such a lifestyle while watching movies in the mediaeval era, or reading classics.. I never thought it was possible to embrace this life in the modern period.. but u proved me wrong, and I'm so glad u did... ❤️
