7 Ways to Create a Hygge Home | Life of Kotts

[@happygreenliving]

Hi from Denmark. Hygge is so importent in these corona times.

[@rachabeff3212]

I spent my morning with my homeschooled kids in front of a fake fireplace, reading, drink warm drinks, and talking. Hygge vibe's are our new thing

[@willothewispl]

Lots of low lights in the evening, and a nice warm bath or shower, cozy pj’s, to start winding down for a night of rest.

[@lifeofkotts]

ooh sounds wonderful! So hygge!!

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I like to start that at 10 a. m .!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

@@Tinyteacher1111 Lol! Sounds like me lately. 😊💐♥️

[@lindajohnson1873]

Absolutely lovely video!!! Like you, I adore plants, comfortable cushions, warm blankets, hot beverages and delicious food. Soft lighting and fragrant candles add a wonderful touch to the home, especially after you’ve experienced a long work day. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤😊

[@satoqta4404]

Hello from Japan. some of japanese people somehow tend to like something about scandinavian. but now I finally found why we've done. their lifestyle gives us time to relax, feel nature around us or face to ourselves. Such time is one of the most important things.

[@caligirlkim4943]

Pleasant background sounds...like nature sounds...the sound of rain, a small fountain, ocean sounds....etc.

Lovely insight into the concept of Hygge. Living in London where it’s dark by 4pm in the winter means you need a way to add warmth and life to your home through the cold winter months. Christmas lights and decorations are great to lift you in December but the other months you need candles, a fireplace, fairy lights, soft blankets, warm woollen socks, evergreen branches with berries, pine cones, mugs of hot chocolate, warm baked pastries, a table laden with hearty food and surrounded by your loved ones .... everything Hygge. There a reason the Danes are amongst the happiest people.

[@lifeofkotts]

Thanks so much for watching! I love all the things you've mentioned in your comment- just reading it brings me more Hygge!! I couldn't agree more- its such a wonderful way of life!

[@writeract2]

Sounds like my vision of life.

Warm milk with warm freshly baked chocolate chip cookies♥ I love the smell of cookies baking in the oven too! And candles burning

[@lifeofkotts]

Ah that sounds delightful! Definitely my kind of hygge 🥰

I had no idea there was a word for the way I want my life to be ❤

[@YahoYukie]

I Loved "The Little Book of Hygge"! It really helped me grasp the idea of Hygge, and quite frankly launched me into slow living. Loved your video :)

[@georginaCsweeting]

Your voice is so soothing, they need to get you on the Calm app! I loved seeing your take on Hygge and how you mentioned it can be interpreted in so many ways depending on the person, you're so right!

[@lifeofkotts]

Haha! I do love that app 😉 Thank you for your lovely words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for being here!

[@ginahamlyn2569]

You've got great energy. Having pets definitely increases the Hygge factor in our home as well as freshly cut flowers or leaves from the garden.

[@lifeofkotts]

That sounds so lovely ☺️ Thank you for sharing!

[@melwee8511]

Your voice is equally hygge...so calm and comforting :) thx for your beautiful sharing.

[@DIYwithZini]

loved your style of videography. 👍👍👍

[@AshMukherjeeOfficial]

This is just what I needed to see today. We are painting our living room, and instead of simply choosing colours, we are letting Hygge lead the way and tell us what vibe we need with which colour. Thank you for making this. I have the book as well but it’s lovely to see it in practice.

[@lifeofkotts]

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for watching ☺️

[@findingswee]

Hello from Switzerland 👋. I saw your video by chance, wow, love it🤩👍. I am trying to be a minimalist, hard to throw away all the little souvenirs i bought during holidays abroad...but after watching your video, I think I can say all the holiday souvenirs can go away! Thanks again for your video 😘.

[@abbyt6136]

Watching this during the pandemic makes me feel better :)

[@lifeofkotts]

Thanks Abby! I'm so glad to hear that 🧡

[@mchurch8395]

Your video was very nice. I too have been working on a minimalistic/hygge home. It makes me enjoy my space even more. I was having a hygge moment when I saw your video. Keep up the great job.

[@lifeofkotts]

Thank you for watching! That's exciting, I hope you're enjoying the process!

My husband has a knack for finding feathers, I have nicknamed him "many feathers," so we have a collection of hawk feathers on our table. Also, a piece of found wood with the bark on it, and a large stone from the property we used to live on.

Very peaceful and comforting🥰So relaxing

Love everything about your livingroom. It so warm and cozy feeling, a great way to wine down after long day from work.

In Norway we pronounce Hygge like Hi for Hilary and gge like get. 🇳🇴❤️ We really need to make everything hyggelig in here or it doesn’t feel right 😄. Specially in the cold and dark winter months

Hi, I work at a community college in Northern Minnesota and we will be doing a De-Stress Fest for our students in December to help prepare them for finals week. One of the things we try to share with our students is self-care and overall well-being tips. We will be sharing information on hygge and some tips on how to make their homes hyggelig. I absolutely love your video and was wondering if you would be ok with us streaming it in our student lounge, that we call The Lodge. We have a monitor above the fireplace and I think your video would be perfect to show. Thank you!

[@lifeofkotts]

Hi Brigett! Thank you so much! Of course, I'd be more than happy for you to stream it. A De-Stress Fest is such a great idea! Wishing you all the best, and I hope it goes well!

I’m so happy this video was recommended to me. I’ve been trying to become a minimalist however it’s hard when you’re married to a hoarder. Never heard of the hygge lifestyle but I’m very inspired. I will be buying the book. Wish you much success on your channel. Xoxo, from Florida

🌟🌟🌟 Thank you for the great video. I've read this book,and I think everyone needs to know about the concept of hygge.

[@pavithraherath4664]

Enjoying little blessings while living contented is forgotten by most .This style of living cannot be felt by such people.

[@oreonaomi2]

Like your voice & your cozy home. Very hygge. I am learning how to create a hygge home for myself, however I have too much stuff and it's messy too. I have been decluttering each year little by little, month by month, I think I need another 2-3 yrs to do it so that my home will look clean & tidy all the time...then more space to create hygge like home. Looking forward to watch more your video to get some idea fm it.

[@lifeofkotts]

Thank you so much! It definitely took us time and is a regular process but so worth it xx

[@MuchLove-3]

I remember reading a book about Hygge before. It's definitely a great concept. Thank you for sharing with us this amazing video!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

I enjoyed your Hygge video and your creative ways of bringing it into your home. I've read quite a few Hygge books over the years and while I love the concept I do tend to love visual abundance via art work, knic knacs, rugs, and things I've collected from nature. This is Hygge for me as an artist, as well as candlelight, snuggling under a throw blanket and reading, and listening to easy-going music. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I wish you a Hygge day! Jenny :o)

[@lifeofkotts]

Thank you! All of those things you've mentioned sound so cosy! Wishing you a very hygge day too 🧡

Beautiful job! I hope you will share with us how to create a hygge home in a HOT and HUMID environment.

[@lifeofkotts]

Thank you! Great suggestion ☺️ I'll have to add that to my list!

[@rekarin]

I was actually thinking about this...and I came to the conclusion that, since hygge is more of a concept than anything else, it would apply to whatever it is that makes you feel comfy, really. e.g: the equivalent of warming up in winter, is cooling off during the summer, so, a big window, with a nice view ideally, that allows the wind to run through the house, and a refreshing cold beverage, and the scent of flowers floating in the house ...that all feels very hygge to me.

[@DazzleDust32]

Hello! I discovered your channel by chance yesterday and am loving it! I have just watched your pantry organisation and reading nook videos, which were so satisfying! Here in England we are about to go into another (at least) month-long lockdown, so videos like this are good therapy! I look forward to watching more. Have a great day! x

[@lifeofkotts]

Hi! Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos ☺️ So sorry that you're heading into another lock down! I completely understand how you feel- we are just coming out of our second lock down here in Melbourne! I hope you stay safe and well! Have a lovely day xx

Lovely huggelig video; I too have Meik Wiling’s little huge book which I keep by my bedside❤️ I love cosying down with a warm drink, soft socks, warm jumpers, a snuggly blanket, candles and a good book. I like the idea of fairy lights in a jar and will certainly copy that. I love salt lamps too but sadly I can’t have one as I live in a stone cottage and the moisture in the air slowly melts the lamp!

[@lifeofkotts]

Thanks for watching! Yes fairy lights look so pretty in jars don't they?! 🥰 Aw shame about the salt lamps, but your stone cottage sounds lovely!

I’ve been Hygge-ing my entire life and didn’t know it. I just kept calling it “cozy time”. I did find out on my Ancestry DNA that I’m part Norwegian. I have little night lights everywhere, cozy blankies, LOVE my chai tea in the morning and always feel more peaceful when things are tidy (although I’m not as good at that part). I’m so glad there is a name for this. Nobody else in my family gets it.

[@lifeofkotts]

So true, I feel like many of us "Hygge" without even knowing it! Oh all those things sound wonderful! Chai! 😍

[@ShelleyHannaArt]

@Lola Montez I love Indian food. My favorite. Chai makes me happy which is why I drink it. And it increases the feeling of Hygge for me. I’m off to make some now!

[@ShelleyHannaArt]

@Lola Montez I know quite a few people from India and have gotten in on their Chai thermos action many times. It’s SO GOOD. I used to have a neighbor from India and when her family would come to visit, they would make me a bunch of food. I was in heaven. Such wonderful people.

[@anashappydays]

Hygge and cozy is practically the same ❤️ I love chia tea, specially in the autumn and winter months. Hello from Norway 🇳🇴

[@ShelleyHannaArt]

@@anashappydays chai is extra wonderful in the fall and winter, but it makes me happy all seasons! I have a good friend that is Norwegian (but born here in the states). She visits frequently and LOVES spending time with her relatives there. It is definitely her happy place. ❤️ Most likely because of a high Hygge factor. 😊
