When the whole family is together, the cookies are in the oven, the winter cold screaming outside of the door, we can not imagine more pleasant circumstances for Christmas. Until we get to know the hygge. We will give you some ideas that you can bring to your home with intimate Scandinavian feeling.

 

Choose the tree

Artificial pine? Absolutely not hygge! Choose a nice healthy tree, the symmetry is not the point. Love the organic, living forms, the alternating length and thick branches. If we have the perfect tree how to decorate it? Here it is true that less is sometimes more! One or two white light garland with pretty little ornaments. But do not let the tree shine with glittering, pulsating chimes. When it’s time to pick up the ornaments and get rid of the tree, do not let the spirit of the holiday go away, and if you do not fire it, let’s give it to those whom help in the colder days.

 

There are many soft accessories

Hygge is about absolute comfort – everything is soft, fluffy and warm. Multiple layers of blankets, soft pillows everywhere!

Leave the cocktail dress, enjoy the comfortable pieces

At last, your anticipated holiday, you do not have to work! Wear soft jumper, socks and list slippers. If you have to be on an elegant event, even a nice knit cardigan and pretty boots can be a great solution.

 

Decoration

Make your own handcraft decorations. Use lots of natural materials, be creative. In addition to gorgeous decorations, it is a great program for the whole family. Tip: make your own Advent Wreath. You can get the wreath’s base at any Christmas fair or you can use pine branches bound to a ring. To decorate use orange rings, cinnamon sticks, gingerbread, mistletoe, but this list is only limited by your fantasy.

 

Mulled wine and biscuits

For the cold evenings, it is best to spend time on the soft couch with delicious biscuits and mulled wine. During the pleasant family conversation both will be consumed in no time!

Gifting

There is no need for expensive wrapping paper. Think of simple, minimal packaging, after all, the essence is what’s in it!

 

Rest

Do not let the whole week to be tense, because the beauty of this holiday will be lost. Spend time together, play games, tell stories, prepare for the Christmas Eve! And something else: Put your phone down – being on Facebook is not a hygge!
