Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) is a Danish word describing a feeling of coziness and comfort that brings contentment. Derived from the Norwegian word for well-being, it’s helped Danes weather intense winters since the 1800s, and the trend is sweeping the globe. You, too, can create a hygge vibe in your home this season.
