Over the years, it\u2019s given us a great many interesting things \u2013 from pastry to Carlsberg to Peter Schmeichel. There\u2019s one concept that\u2019s attracted attention in recent years \u2013 and that\u2019s Hygge. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the ideas behind Hygge, and what role they might play in your life \u2013 all year round.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Hygge and How Do I Pronounce It?<\/h2>\n<p>When you look at the word \u2018Hygge\u2019 as it\u2019s written, it might not be immediately obvious how it should be pronounced. If, improbably, you\u2019ve guessed \u201chue-gah\u201d, as <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QSXiH_0HgwI\">Danish Youtuber Broendsted explains<\/a>, then you\u2019re correct. But the meaning behind the word is perhaps more difficult to convey than its pronunciation. It has no straightforward English equivalent: something close to \u2018comfort\u2019 might seem a logical substitute, but the meaning behind hygge is a little more expansive, implying the closeness of a community and the warmth of the shelter it builds for itself.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike \u2018comfort\u2019, \u2018sanctuary\u2019 or \u2018warm\u2019, \u2018Hygge\u2019 is a verb. It\u2019s something you need to actively do in order to experience. To <em>hygge<\/em> is to take pleasure in the simple domestic rituals you participate in everyday. If you\u2019re making a cup of tea for your significant other, taking a bath with a scented candle, or you\u2019re curled up beneath a blanket with a good book, then you\u2019re hygge-ing.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Hygge in the Summer<\/h2>\n<p>Part of the reason that the Danes have come up with this term is that they experience a lot of darkness. During winter, darkness descends for up to seventeen hours a day, and so creating a cosy space to relax in is crucial. It\u2019s part of what makes the Danish so upbeat. They consistently rank near the top of the <a href=\"http:\/\/worldhappiness.report\/ed\/2017\/\">World Happiness Report<\/a>, which aims to identify the areas of the world where people are at their cheeriest. (In 2017, the Danes were second-happiest, beaten to the top spot by the Norwegians, whose surroundings are similarly grim and frostbitten, but who embrace a concept called <em>koselig<\/em>, which is broadly similar to hygge).<\/p>\n<p>During the winter, hygge might entail lighting a few candles for an intimate dinner with family and friends. It might mean stoking up a log fire and basking in its glow. Provided that you\u2019re not thinking about the stressors in your life \u2013 whether it\u2019s the deadline you\u2019ve agreed to meet the following week, or the blizzard that\u2019s brewing outside \u2013 and just allowing yourself to enjoy the act of doing whatever it is you\u2019re doing, then you\u2019ll be doing Hygge.<\/p>\n<p>But the concept of hygge is not tied specifically to winter \u2013 even when it\u2019s sunny outside, you\u2019ll be able to hygge effectively by opening out your living space and bringing the comforting sounds and smells of the outdoors into your interior. You might also draw the curtains and allow the room to fill with light, or spend an hour or so de-cluttering your conservatory to make the summer outdoors seem that much more splendid.<\/p>\n<p>You needn\u2019t be restricted to your interior in your attempts to hygge properly, either. Fire up your barbeque, invite a few friends over and enjoy yourself. Or why not take a trip to the local park? With the help of a frisbee or a football, you\u2019ll be able to hygge. Pick up an ice-cream cone while you\u2019re there, and you\u2019ll be doing so even more effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Bring the Outside In With Fresh Flowers<\/h3>\n<p>A vase full of flowers is a classic and reliable means of bring hyggeligt\u00a0to your interior. \u00a0The aromas which fresh flowers produce aren\u2019t just pleasant \u2013 they\u2019re also link to a host of health benefits. They\u2019ll reduce stress, clean the air around them, and boost your mood. Consider that many of us can spend up to nine tenths of our lives indoors, and the benefits of bringing a few plants indoors become especially apparent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/annie-spratt-197098.jpg\" alt=\"daffodils in a clear mason jar on a wooden table\" width=\"870\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/annie-spratt-197098.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/annie-spratt-197098-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/annie-spratt-197098-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/annie-spratt-197098-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, florists are skilled workers, and demand a high price for their labour. Getting a constant supply of fresh flowers for your home, therefore, might be impractical. Thankfully, the spring and summer offer copious opportunities to get out into the countryside and pick your own flowers. Before doing so, however, it\u2019s worth familiarising yourself with the laws governing flower-picking. Flowers are, after all property. You can\u2019t simply march into your neighbour\u2019s garden and snaffle a rhododendron \u2013 that\u2019s not hygge, that\u2019s stealing. The same goes for flowers grown in your local council park, and those you\u2019ll find in verges and roundabouts.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you restrict yourself to wildflowers, there exist some species which are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act. These include threadmoss, sandwort and adder\u2019s tongue. While it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll run into these (they\u2019re protected for a reason), the best approach is to familiarise yourself with a few choice species of wildflower and leave any you aren\u2019t familiar with alone. Be aware that it\u2019s illegal to entirely uproot a flower and remove it to your own garden \u2013 just stick to snapping off the stem and pocketing the flower itself.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to flower-picking, it\u2019s worth erring on the side of caution. There\u2019s nothing more likely to interrupt the comforting glow you get from an afternoon\u2019s hygge than a knock on the door from your local constabulary. If you\u2019re growing your own flowers in your garden, then you\u2019ll be able to pick at your leisure. Prune a few twigs from the plants outside and place them into a jar \u2013 you\u2019ll thereby introduce some much-needed greenery into your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Pack a Picnic and Head to The Park<\/h3>\n<p>Pack a cosy blanket, a basket full of your favourite foods (be sure to pack cake, that&#8217;s very hyggeligt), your favourite book and a few oy your nearest and dearest and head to the park for a day in the sunshine. It&#8217;s these simple, intimate moments spent together that are hygge.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ben-duchac-66002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ben-duchac-66002.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ben-duchac-66002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ben-duchac-66002-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.doorsonlineuk.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ben-duchac-66002-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Take an Hour or Two With A Good Book (And A Slice Of Cake)<\/h3>\n<p>Hygge is all about being kind to yourself, and treating yourself!
