Still, it never really represented the feeling of safety and hominess that you get from looking out the window while there’s a huge storm outside and you’re sitting at home with your cat. When I moved to England, the word people used was “cosy”, so I added it to my vocabulary. When I was younger, I didn’t have a word for “staying at home on a Friday night reading a book in bed with a mug of hot chocolate”. I’d seen the book before, but once I started reading it, I fell in love with the writing, the insight into Danish culture and the analysis of hygge, which, turns out, I had been following all along. I thought it was just another unattainable lifestyle trend, like “Cottagecore” or the “vsco girl”.īut as all trends, hygge faded away eventually, and I forgot all about it until I found The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking. A few years ago, I would roll my eyes every time I saw an influencer using the term “hygge” or when my Pinterest feed was full of “hygge living” and “hygge decor”.
