As you've no doubt noticed, there's been a lot of talk about 'Hygge' in all the decorating media over the last few years. Probably thanks to the democratisation of this concept, via books such as "The Hygge Book" by Meik Wiking or "Hygge" by Louisa Thomasen. But who exactly is this Hugues? Originally, it was more an art of living and a state of mind than a decorative style. A little feng-shui, common sense, relaxation and zenitude, combined with an ethnic-Scandinavian-vintage decor, and you're on top of 'Hygge'! The 'Hygge' decorating trend is the perfect embodiment of Scandinavian style, and expresses happiness the Danish way. To embrace "Hygge" in your home, combine comfort, simplicity and conviviality . Here are a few tips for an interior design that suits you and comforts you.

Choose linen for your sheets and ceramic for your teas. Choose soft shades Choose soft shades Choose soft shades As well as comforting fabrics and raw materials, soft shades are a must.
