Hygge

By now you've probably heard of the ever popular design trend sweeping the globe: Hygge. We've all seen what's become the Instagram photos of the cozy unmade bed with breakfast and a cute coffee mug, and we can thank hygge for that. The Dutch know Hygge (hue-guh) as simply acknowledging the beauty of the moment you are in, whether it's a simple night in with friends or the morning routine of making coffee. We've simplified it to mean "cozy interiors" but it is so much more than that! For the sake of design, let's look at the top 4 ways you can incorporate hygge into your work.
