The home and lifestyle you dream of
For the last in our series we ask the all important question…just how do you Hygge?! For instance, do running pants consider hygge? Truly. There’s even a word in Danish for them! Hyggebukser are that pair of jeans you’d never be found dead wearing in broad daylight, however basically live in when you’re at home …
Last time we wrote about what Hygge is….but what about it’s history? What are it’s roots. Well we are so glad you asked!
