Autumn is the Season for Hygge
Hygge is a Danish word that describes a mood of cosiness and “comfortable conviviality” with feelings of wellness and contentment.
Danish people are known to be overall ,the happiest people on the planet and the general consensus is that they know how to slow down and enjoy the small important things in life like experiences and quality time with family and friends.
Autumn is a good opportunity to take the philosophy that the Danes live by and slow down. Appreciate those hygge moments snuggled up with a blanket on the couch watching Netflix with a cuppa. You could even light a candle to make it even more hygge! Nothing beats the feeling of pure cosiness when the cooler weather sets in.
As it gets darker earlier, Kiwis tend to spend more time indoors making it the perfect time to hygge your home.
