Simply Hygge is inspired by the Danish concept of hygge. I was first introduced to hygge in 2019 after randomly coming across The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking. At the time I was burnt out from spending long days in front of a computer and craving small moments that helped me slow down when life felt overwhelming. That experience set me on a path to create a home that supported comfort and pause. At its heart hygge is about finding joy in simple everyday moments.
Today I am a working mom with a toddler and a baby. The version of hygge that worked for my twenty-something self no longer fits our life. The neutral clutter-free days are gone and in their place is a home filled with more life and joy. Here you will find cozy thoughtful ideas for creating a calm intentional home through curated finds low-stress living and small comforts that make daily life feel more grounded and warm. Everything shared here is what has actually helped me find more calm in the middle of busy real life.
