# hygge

i really love copenhagen, and scandinavia in general. it's pretty cold and rainy in the bay area right now, and it reminded me of what the danish and norwegians call hygge. to me, it stands for the warmth and comfort of home.

here are some specific aspects of hygge:

  • soft, warm light
  • thick blankets, plush cushions
  • warm drinks
  • comfort food
  • oversized sweaters, thick socks, soft loungewear. comfort over style.
  • small, intimate spaces – danes have the concept of 'hyggekrog', which means cozy nook
