Meik Wiking, head of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, applies the Danish idea of hygge, a feeling of cosy contentment, to the home. He covers light, with a focus on candles and lamps, textures such as wool and wood, colour, furniture arrangement, kitchens, bedrooms and entryways, and explains why certain details make a space feel welcoming. Practical suggestions are paired with research on wellbeing, and photographs show Danish interiors.
For readers who want simple, inexpensive ways to make their home calmer and more comfortable. It is a pleasant coffee-table style guide to decorating, which asks you to think about atmosphere before furniture.
Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
