Hygge is a Danish word that can be translated in a number of ways, but one of the most popular ways of translating it is comfort or joy. In recent times, there has been a trend towards hygge as a home style, especially in the winter when people want to keep their homes happy and warm.
Candles Everywhere
There is nothing cosier than a candle. In the past – before the invention of electric lighting – candles were functional and necessary; nowadays, they simply point to a previous time when it was harder to stay warm. But still, candles offer some amazing cosiness to the home in winter.
There is no shortage of candles to choose from, you can have scented candles or functional Roman candles, and a combination of both is also a nice option. Make your home hygge instantly by lighting the candles and turning on the lamps instead of the primary lighting.
Warm Lighting
Candlelight is super cosy in the winter, but it’s not always practical. That’s why you should consider hygge lighting from The Wall Lighting Company if you get the chance. Whether it’s overhead lights you need, standing lamps, nightstand lamps, or spot lamps, you can find them.
Warm lighting is one of the best ways to make your home hygge throughout the winter. When it’s too cold and windy for outdoor activities or the activities you normally enjoy, it’s a chance to create memories in a different way from inside your home with top-quality lighting options.
Tea Selections
Stay warm and hygge this winter with tea selections. Why choose basic tea options in the evening when you can have a selection of warm seasonal flavours from your favourite brands? These days, there is no shortage of flavoursome herbal teas and special teas to collect at home.
The festive season is a great time to stay warm and cosy with a lovely mug of flavoursome tea. Why not try something different this winter, like socially flavoured rooibos teas and mixed herbal teas? A tea flavour can change your mood and make you feel more hygge in your family home.
Ethanol Fire
Everybody loves an open fire, especially in the winter when it has become a tradition; the trouble is that open fires these days emit harmful carbon into the atmosphere affecting Net Zero efforts. But there’s good news; an ethanol fire could be a suitable alternative to an open flame.
Ethanol is a fuel made from corn instead of fossil fuels and releases only a tiny amount of gas. An ethanol fire allows you to have a hygge home this winter without harming the planet with fossil fuels. It’s a win-win for everyone, so make sure you heat your home in the right ways.
Winter Woolies
Winter woollies include hats, scarves, gloves, and socks. With energy prices going through the roof this winter, it makes sense to stock up on essential winter woollies and stay toasty for less. In combination with hot water bottles, winter woollies make a perfect alternative to gas heating.
