A beautifully illustrated, authentically Danish guide to hygge, the Scandinavian lifestyle trend.

In Autumn 2016, everyone will be talking about hygge. This Danish concept has no English translation but is all about focusing on the little things in life that bring you warmth and happiness, whether it's spending quality time with loved ones or creating a 'hyggelig' atmosphere in your home.

But hygge isn't a cliché about knitted jumpers and sitting around a fire. It's much more than that, and it has the power to change your life.

In this beautiful gift book, find out what hygge really means and how you can bring it into every aspect of your life. Fully illustrated throughout, the book will reveal how you can be more hygge through delicious recipes, easy tweaks to your home interiors, and by making time for 'hygge moments' in a busy life.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Hygge by Marie Tourell Søderberg presents a visual exploration of the Danish concept, offering beautiful photographs alongside practical advice for creating a comforting and cheerful environment.
