My Hygge Home: How to Make Home Your Happy Place

Product Information

Rather than hyper-focusing on a very narrow and stereotypical (not to mention materialistic) definition of Hygge, this book actually delved into the Science and Psychology of happiness and what one needs to do/change in their life/environment to achieve that elusive state even in the dark depths of the coldest, nastiest winter. The author of the New York Times bestseller The Little Book of Hygge, helps you turn your home into your happy, cozy safe place. I don’t get paid for writing it, I’m not in it for the kudos, financial rewards, to become an influencer, work with brands or otherwise make any money from the blog. He recommends creating spaces or nooks, corners where people can retreat from the bigger space to feel secure and alone. No matter how much space you have or what your budget is, Meik shows how you can use colour, light and space to create your happy place and celebrate cosiness the Danish way.

That’s a shame, because it sits very well alongside the Little Book of Hygge, Little Book of Lykke and The Art of Making Memories. Hygge is all about the atmosphere you create with people, and it can happen anywhere, any time, so don’t just deserve it for your home. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The book looks at the role our physical world plays in enhancing and helping hygge… and no, it’s not about fluffy cashmere socks and expensive fur rugs at all.

I wanted more photos and illustrations, while many of the existing visuals were kind of generic and not necessarily tied to the text. If you’ve enjoyed this article, don’t forget to share it or save it so others can enjoy reading, thinking about and living hygge as well.

I found myself noting down whole quotes from the book in my notebook, about enjoying what we have, how hygge is not able to be bought, about what home is to us. It’s the essence of our family and has to be taken apart and put back together every three years (thanks USMC) and it’s my absolute joy to do it.
