Hygge: The Colour of Contentment

From the heart of Denmark—quite literally—beats hygge, a feeling or atmosphere that exudes warmth, relaxation, and connection.

 

Hygge is any place cosy, comfortable, and welcoming, and come winter, we all need a bit of it. Sit surrounded by candlelight or a blazing fire with friends. Enjoy a cup of tea, blissfully solo, in an overstuffed chair. Hygge is where your personal sense of harmony lives.

 

On the walls of the living room above—Resene Bon Jour – creates a sophisticated blank canvas, for meaningful, easy-to-update home décor. Combined with a cushy sofa, books, candles and a warm drink at the ready, this scene is set for a satisfying respite.

 

A hygge-inspired colour palette reflects the hygge ethos, while also nodding to most loved Scandinavian interior paint colours. Clean yet at the same time – warm, Resene Half Truffle breathes tranquillity into any space.  Hygge touches of pleasant lighting, interesting textiles, natural materials and of course, candles, all adding up to a cosy, homely atmosphere, just right for the chillier months ahead.
