Add Hygge To Your Home With Candles

First off you may be asking What is Hygge? Well, I shared my thoughts and findings in the highlighted link. Adding hygge or coziness is so important all year round. In the winter I add candles to our home.

 

First off, our home has a natural coziness since our ceilings are lower and that lend themselves to an intimate space. So, because our house has a cottage ambiance, our furniture can’t be heavy or grand in style, and it is more comfy and cozy. I always have many throws around the house and of course a ton of candles. I guess I naturally gravitate towards these types of home decor.

A Couple of Helpful Tips

So, here are a few observations that I made that you’ll want to note when you add hygge to your home with candles.

1. Use votives that have a similar style

Choose mercury glass votives to your home. This year Add Hygge To Your Home with Candles. It is an easy way to warm up your home throughout the year. Embrace the cozy Danish concept of Hygge.

I rounded up all my mercury glass candle votives. I love how despite all their different textures and patterns they blend nicely together since they are all made out of mercury glass. If you happen to own a ton of milk glass, then use them. Whatever you enjoy and have a collection of place them all together on a table.

2. Choose candles or votives that are of different heights and sizes

The Danish word Hygge can be added to a home with candles. This year Add Hygge To Your Home with Candles. It is an easy way to warm up your home throughout the year.

This is where your need for symmetry needs to take a back seat. So, don’t be afraid to vary the heights of your candles which means there will be more interest, and drama. I must admit that I tend to lean towards the English country style of decorating and the more, the merrier in my book. I think it also conveys a cozy ambiance. I feel that my post on adding flowers to your home is more English than Danish hygge, but you can be the judge of that.

By the way, the pink cherry blossoms you see in this photo are from my paper flower DIY post.

3. If possible choose a surface that catches the light

I love this about mercury glass, and it has a double reflection quality which adds so much more light and drama. The extra sparkle is a bonus that I love. I have another post in which I share some cool and unusual candle holders.
