Synopsis

An inspiring book from Meik Wiking, the New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge, about how to use space, light, and Danish design to transform your home to fit your needs.

Now more than ever before, our homes need to be a place of comfort, a place to feel safe when we shut the door. Our homes are where we can truly be ourselves, unwind, and create special memories with our family and friends. Inspired by Danish design and traditions, Meik Wiking's beautiful book My Hygge Home shows us how to turn our home into a cozy sanctuary and live a bit like the happiest people in the world—the Danes.

Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is the art of surrounding yourself in comfort and is at the core of Danish culture in creating a happy space. With simple tips based on new research from the Happiness Institute in Copenhagen, this book reveals what makes a happy home: including the difference between space and size, the importance of lighting, and how to foster better connections with our loved ones. No matter how much space you have or what your budget is, Meik explains how you can use color, light, and space to create your happy place and celebrate coziness the Danish way.

Quick thoughts review: I will never look at a space the same way again; instead of thinking about what a room "should" be, I will now focus on how I want it to feel.

I love my home. It’s probably one of my top 3 things I’m most proud to create. It’s the essence of our family and has to be taken apart and put back together every three years (thanks USMC) and it’s my absolute joy to do it. This little book of Hygge Home was magical in reminding me the importance o......more
