As Wabi Sabi, Hygge is a style of decoration that come from very different culture. Hygge try to appreciate simplicity, embrace comfort and find joy in everyday pleasures.
If we compare the Wabi sabi style and the Hygge style in decoration, we find that both are rooted in minimalism. The environments are simple, creating atmospheres of peace and harmony. Neutral colours are used, warm textures are incorporated, and natural materials and handcrafted decorations are used in the homes.
The word Hygge dates back to the early 19th century. Although it does not have an exact translation, it means something like well-being, welcoming, comforting. It was created as a way of life by the Danes and is now a fundamental part of their culture.
The Hygge culture evokes notions of comfort, deep well-being, living with loved ones and the art of enjoying life’s little pleasures. You could say it’s something like forgetting your mobile and enjoying a good dinner with friends; having a cup of something hot by the fireplace, or by the warm light of candles; or spending a Sunday afternoon watching movies in a comfortable armchair, wrapped in a blanket, reading a good book next to your pet.
Hygge decoration is the art of enjoying simple things. It’s all it takes to be comfortable, internally and externally. It’s everything that creates a feeling or a moment of well-being. Some interpret it as the art of creating intimacy.
Style has a great obsession with light. This is achieved in a careful way through the use of fire, such as candles or fireplace. He is a lover of fabrics, such as blankets and cushions, but in general he opts for everything that is soft and sweet to our eyes, as well as kind when it comes into contact with our skin.
Finally, the conclusion is that, through the values of discovering beauty in simplicity, we can begin to challenge our existing definitions of perfection, and thus enjoy a more satisfying, fulfilling and happy life.
