When people think about wellness, usually what comes to mind is eating tons of green superfoods and insane yoga poses. Wellness, however, is more than that – it is a holistic approach to being well in all areas of your life. This includes feeling at peace in your home environment.
This is where the Danish concept of “hygge” comes in. It became quite a trend a few years ago, but it still stands as an excellent method of creating harmony in your home. After all, Denmark is home to some of the happiest people on earth.
Hygge is all about a sense of coziness, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and enjoying your life with good people around you.
