One of the hottest home decor trends of 2017 was hygge, but you might be wondering what makes something hygge or not? What exactly does it mean? Pronounced "hoo-ga," this Scandinavian concept cannot be translated into one single word, but it encompasses a feeling or moment of cozy contentment. It’s about enjoying the simple things in life. If you've ever enjoyed reading a book indoors or being curled up in a blanket on a rainy Sunday, you've experienced hygge without even knowing it.
