Friends and family, a delicious meal and a few drinks – what more do we need to feel hygge? Probably not a thing.

But how our dining room looks does matter. It’s more than just a place to grab a quick bite. In many homes, the dining room has become the spot for the most important conversations and social gatherings. To create the right environment for this, we should think outside the box: the furniture doesn’t have to consist of just a dining table and a few chairs. The possibilities are endless: dining armchairs, dining sofas and benches can all help create the perfect atmosphere.

There should be enough space for everyone to sit, and it should be comfortable, so that the hours spent together can be truly enjoyable – maybe these are the two key aspects that need to be considered when designing a “hyggelig” dining room.
